In this episode of our 80s Icons series we are jumping into our time machines and get ready for an epic discussion about the 1985 Back to the Future! Over the course of our conversation you will hear us recount the convoluted history of how this movie came together, attempt to find what made it so culturally sticky, how this movie relates to life as we know it today, how and why it is referred to as a perfect script and how Zemeckis uses visual foreshadowing to incredible effect. We also talk about the many little gaffes we have found in here, point out that Marty doesn’t really have a solid character arc, wonder exactly how Marty and Doc would have met, how the time travel logic doesn’t make much sense and how it doesn’t matter after all.

Tune in and enjoy!
