The most impressive part of this movie for me is that they were only a year off on the cubs winning the world series

2022-11-21 12:52:00 +0000 UTCI’ve seen this movie a hundred times and it wasn’t until the “Chris tannen” bit that I realized the bully gene must skip a generation. Grandma biff, skip, biff, skip (possibly Chris), griff.

2020-04-21 01:26:58 +0000 UTCI’m rewatching this as I type this and I’m glad I’m not going crazy. Really surprised this got the WLM treatment and that you guys dismiss part 3 as meh. This movie isn’t good. It’s got some good parts but it also has a lot of clunky exposition and weird character development only needed to justify itself and the sequel. Part three is a better movie

2020-02-22 01:29:20 +0000 UTCWow!! I re-watched that scene after the WLM ep. And she became a real person after that; not just a throw-away. So sad to hear of her passing in that manner.

2020-02-21 22:00:42 +0000 UTCI had never heard about the stuntwoman being injured in the hoverboard scene so I looked into that story further. I found that while she was seriously injured she did recover and go on to do more stunts in big budget movies. In a surprising twist though she was killed in a shootout with her ex-husband on Feb 12. 2020

2020-02-18 15:42:34 +0000 UTCThey were showing the trilogy back to back at my local cinema on the 21st October 2015 was a great evening

2020-02-18 13:58:37 +0000 UTCI also saw BTTF2 in theaters and remember the trailer for 3 before the end credits...can't remember if it originally had continued or concluded though

2020-02-18 02:31:40 +0000 UTCUnpopular opinion... 3 is far better than 2.

2020-02-16 20:07:18 +0000 UTCRecommending Netflix's 'Dark'. It's a great German time travel show in which several characters get permanently stuck in the past.
Andrew Burt
2020-02-16 15:14:33 +0000 UTCHarry Potter does the other angle thing as well. There are events in the books/movies that happen that's later revealed to be a time traveled Harry/Hermione causing the events.

2020-02-16 14:32:31 +0000 UTCBttF 3 was actually my favorite of the sequels when I was younger. I didn't like the dark tone of the alternate 1985 and didn't understand a lot of the references to 80's culture in the future. The slower pace, Marty's growth, and the romance between Doc and the teacher really solidified it as my 2nd fav of the franchise. Would love a WLM covering it. I also agree that not everyone needs to worship the WLM catalogue for it to qualify. I actually look forward to Chris' critical evaluation of everyone's favorite movies. Can we finally get an X2 episode? It's literally been teased for years at this point.

2020-02-16 09:00:44 +0000 UTCI am definitely up for BTTF 3. That’s a fun movie.

2020-02-16 06:52:49 +0000 UTCHands down my favorite movie of all time in my favorite trilogy of all time. Between the behind the scenes shenanigans and the movie itself, it's a wild ride. Still amazes me how they immaculately recreated part 1 at different angles and if played side by side, it syncs up for the most part.
Frank Grimes
2020-02-15 09:02:47 +0000 UTCI ate an edible on super bowl sunday and for some reason started thinking about BTTF3, and how I couldn't remember it well, and wondered if I actually saw it. So I decided I should watch it but then, being high, I then thought, "Wait. What about part 2?" "You haven't seen that in awhile." So long story short, I watched 2 at like 1 in the morning. So I'm glad for this episode.
