The Back to the Future Trilogy

This year, Back to the Future celebrated its 35th anniversary. However, it's not enough to nerd out about it. We have to add the other films in the trilogy!

In this episode:
We kick things off with some comments from James Tolkan (Principal Strickland) and Claudia Wells (Jennifer Parker) about their roles in the films. Then, 80s Nerd Culture Contributor Chris Clews joins Scott to take a deeper dive into the trilogy: 

• What weird title did the studio propose for the first film?
• Why didn't the story end with Back to the Future? 
• What does Jennifer have to do with the decision to make a sequel?
• Why did Crispin Glover hate the ending of Back to the Future?
• Is there a Masters of the Universe/She-Ra connection to the films?
• Is the recent explanation for a "plot hole" good enough?
• What themes from the movie provide advice for real life?
  ​

Later, Burton Gilliam joins the discussion to talk about his experience in Back to the Future III.
