Thoughts from your host…

 

 

There was just no damned way I could let this date pass without marking it on-mic.

The film that gives this date its infamy is such a huge part of my filmgoing past (as I’ll explain on the show). It’s a date that has a certain lore in the pop culture sensibilities of an entire generation. Plus, if nothing else, it finally gave me an excuse to talk about one of the best film trilogies of all-time.

Of course, such a momentous occasion couldn’t come down to just one guest. We wouldn’t nearly be able to do the topic justice. So instead, I put out the call to some longtime friends of the show and a quorum was assembled to talk all things Zemeckis, DeLorean, Hill Valley, ’55, ’85, ’15, Stoltz, Fox, Shue, and Brown.

So pour yourself a Pepsi Free and pop in your Van Halen cassettes…”the future” has finally arrived.

  2. It’s kind of funny how a lot of the plot nitpicks in this episode are answered on the DVD special features.

    Also, here’s Bob Gale’s official explanation of how Doc and Marty know each other (i.e. Ryan’s kind of right):
    “Okay, from the horses mouth (yes, Im the horse er, co-writer, co-creator): We never explained it in the movie. But the history of the characters that Bob Zemeckis and I created is this For years, Marty was told that Doc Brown was dangerous, a crackpot, a lunatic. So, being a red-blooded American teenage boy, age 13 or 14, he decided to find out just why this guy was so dangerous. Marty snuck into Docs lab, and was fascinated by all the cool stuff that was there. when Doc found him there, he was delighted to find that Marty thought he was cool and accepted him for what he was. Both of them were the black sheep in their respective environments. Doc gave Marty a part-time job to help with experiments, tend to the lab, tend to the dog, etc. And thats the origin of their relationship.”

  3. I have recently watched it again and then I have also noticed that this is the future year of “2015” :), however there are no flying cars yet on the highways. Anyways, the film is simply great and I love Christopher Lloyd a bit more than others in the movie.
