  MIDDLE AGE MOVIE REVIEWS
EPISODE 54 - Back to the Future 4(a.k.a. Great Scott!)




Well this certainly is a first. The guys get together to discuss a current film from the new 1001 movies book. This time they are going Back to the Future for a look at a film that got a limited release.   Tim, Joey, and Matt fire up the DeLorean to take a look at one last adventure with Marty and Doc. 

Joey gives us a nice Doc Brown like synopsis to start off this fun look at a new installment to the BTTF franchise.  Joey gets a little zany with his talk of Emmet Brown but he keeps his cool with some of the CGI discussion.   


Tim gives a glimpse into his thoughts on this film and where it stands in the franchise.   Tim also tells us a little about what he thinks of the newest addition to the Time Team with JJ Brown. Asking the question does legacy characters work in relaunches?    

Finally Matt gives us a breakdown of each story beat which will lead into the final thoughts in the Deathclock.  Will this film live up to its predecessors?  Find out this and more on our latest episode of Middle Age Movie Reviews Podcast.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to the Electronic Media Collective podcast network. Yeah,
it's a mouthful. For more great shows like the one
you're about to enjoy, visit Electronic Mediacollective dot com And
now our feature presentation.

Speaker 2 (00:22):
Hello, Welcome to the Middle Aged Movieviews podcast. Three guys
asking if time traffic were possible, what would you do?
What would you change? My name is Tim and my
podcasting partners.

Speaker 3 (00:35):
Are Matt Joey.

Speaker 2 (00:38):
All right, Joey, why don't you tell us what we're
watching at the Hill Valleytown Cinema this evening tonight.

Speaker 4 (00:44):
We are watching the two thousand and twenty four movie
Back to the Future for number one thousand and one
point one from the book of one thousand and one
Movies You Should Watch Before You Die, written by Robert Zemeckis,
Steven Spielberg, and David Agnew, directed by Robert Semchis and
starring Michael J. Fox, Christopher Lloyd, Elizabeth schu and McKenna Grace.

Speaker 3 (01:06):
Well, thanks, Joey. You know what, guys, the first time
I saw this film was just this week on TV.
For this podcast to think that this movie didn't get
a big release, how about you, Tim? What was the
first time you saw Back to the Future four.

Speaker 2 (01:20):
I too, watched it this week for the podcast. I
can't believe this movie did not get a theatrical release.
It went straight to streaming. I remember seeing Christopher Lloyd
Michael J. Fox at the Convention is back in like
twenty twenty three, doing guest panels and signing autographs, but
there was never any mention of the movie coming out.
And then I remember because of the Writers Guild strike,
movies could only be made that had completed scripts and

(01:43):
the actors weren't allowed to talk about the current projects
at all. So it appears that Universal Studios didn't want
to wait to do a proper media blitz because you know,
Christopher Lloyd's you know what is he like eighty four
and Fox is already pretty reluctant, you know, to do anything,
and really was relucted to agree to do this film
due to his Parkinsons disease. So I guess they went

(02:05):
with a non promotional tour of Fox and Lloyd hoping
people would figure it out, and then kind of loocrative
streaming deal to maximize on the hip. So yeah, I'm
glad at least it made it out so it was
pretty cool. How about you, Joy, When was the first
time you watched Back to Future four?

Speaker 4 (02:21):
Well, clearly I saw it on to be It was
a to be exclusive. I mean it's you know, Seinfeld
used to have a hey, you know in Comedians and
cars drinking coffee on Crackle, and now Twoby's got mother
frigging back to the Future four, and I'm just like
what I was like, is this a fever dream? Is
this like the time that I like fellow sip in

(02:43):
the couch and I woke up and and you know
that that new Highlander movie director sci Fi was on.
I was just like, I didn't even believe this shit
was happening until I saw it, and I got to say,
I'm upset because it just it just seems so strange
put Michael J. Box's face and voice on another actor,
kind of like, you know, a very much better version

(03:06):
of Little Man with Marlon Wayans, or you know, the
way they took uh Chris Evans and then put his
his head on that that skinny guy's body and the
Captain America first Avenger. It was just like you could
there was something uncanny Valley about it, and it's like
I could barely finish the movie, like I was very,

(03:26):
very taken out of it. And I realized that he
needs the money because you know, our healthcare systems fucked.
And uh, he's got dual citizenship in Canada. So I
don't know why he's not just getting all of his
all of his his medical needs fulfilled in Canada. But
he he did the movie.

Speaker 3 (03:46):
Yeah, yeah, Well, you know, sometimes you gotta you gotta,
you gotta do that film for for you know, medical reasons.
So that's you know, Medicare for all. Okay, Tim, Well
as our resident puppet master, Well man, what I going?

Speaker 2 (04:01):
I don't think there is any other way this can
be done. I'm gonna give you a break, and we're
gonna put Brown tell Marty that I would like you
one more adventure read as an age doctor Ebitt Brown
tell Marty that it isn't over yet. There is one
more adventure waiting for them.

Speaker 5 (04:23):
Great Scott, Marty, your time traveling days aren't over yet.
There's a mysterious game afoot and some some unknown force
that's destabilizing this spacetime continuing as we know it. I'm
afraid I'm too old to time travel myself. Anymore, Marty,
but my granddaughter JJ knows all about it and can
assist you in fixing the time anomalies before reality itself collapses.

Speaker 6 (04:47):
This will push you further than any adventure we've shared.
It may very well be life altering and in turn
change over you of me and my family. Who I
had sex with, this teacher from the past, who a
bridge was named after because she died, and I only
hope you can push past it in order to save us.

Speaker 4 (05:08):
All in time.

Speaker 3 (05:16):
Nice, nice, nice, very well. Die Back to the Future four.
I don't know about you all, but I was surprised
when this came out because I'm a big time travel fan.
I mean, I liked Back to the Future the first
three movies. I enjoy, you know, the nineteen sixties TV
series Time Tunnel as well as Doctor Who. So anytime
we see Marty McFly and Doc Brown, I am excited

(05:39):
to see it. So let's go ahead and dive into
our film. So the movie opens up. It's twenty twenty
five and Martin McFly is living a quiet life in
Hill Valley. His kids have all grown up, and he
hasn't touched time travel since the Delorene was destroyed. In
nineteen eighty five on the tracks of the Bridge over

(06:01):
Eastwood Ravine. So, guys, what do you think of And
you know, Joey's already mentioned about the kind of weird
AI stuff they did to him, But what did you
think of Michael J. Fox were reprising his role as
old Marty McFly?

Speaker 2 (06:16):
Simply, I don't think there is a movie without Michael J. Fox,
or really without Christopher Lloyd. Even though they've you know,
not had another installment of this franchise outside the cartoon
since nineteen ninety, the two main characters have aged considerably,
and I don't think you could recast these characters to
successfully recreate the chemistry they had a screened. I know

(06:36):
they used some CG in the film, you know, to
age the characters during certain segments and to you know,
kind of help, you know, with Michael J. Fox with
some of the issues he deals with with the Parkinson's.
But I think they really did take meticulous care to
create the absolute best version of those actors that they
could for the film, and it worked out fairly well.

(06:57):
I wasn't taken out like Joey was as my because
of it.

Speaker 3 (07:01):
I do have to agree with you. I think that
this movie wouldn't be a great movie without Michael J.
Fox or Christopher Lloyd. I'm glad that they they did
get a chance to reprise her roles. I mean, I'm
gonna I'm gonna kind of compare something with like Ghostbusters Afterlife.
You know, Afterlife had the the original characters in it,
but not nearly as much as I was kind of

(07:23):
hoping for, Whereas with this movie, they they definitely gave
us more of the original characters, definitely a much better
way of handing off the baton to this new this
new character that they introduced us to. So, Joey, what
did you think of Michael J. Fox as as old Marty?

Speaker 4 (07:41):
They did make him look a little bit younger than
he is. I thought, I was kind of impressed with that.
I think that was a little bit of makeup n
CG I put together. I was more impressed with Elizabeth Shoe.
I mean, she she looks like she just stepped up
right off the set of The Boys. Uh, you know
where we had a what's the guy's name? The Superman
knockoff in the Boy Homelander. Yeah, Homelander was milking those memories.

(08:04):
She's she looks great.

Speaker 3 (08:05):
All right, Well, so much like the nineteen eighty five
opening where you know, Michael J. Fox is riding that skateboard,
we kind of get a like an homage that scene
and what you guys think of that callback scene where
like the random kids were using real life version hoverboards
to grab onto Marty's car like Marty didn't in back
in eighty five. And I also thought it was rather

(08:25):
funny that Marty hasn't bought a new car since nineteen
eighty five, He's still cruising around in that h that
Toyota ta coma. What about you, Joey, what did you
think of that?

Speaker 4 (08:34):
Well, you know, they that it was kind of funny
because we got the suckass hoverboards that are basically, you know,
a segue instead of being a real hoverboard, and it's
just some shit you fall off with wheels, and we
got to see that, like obviously the timelines changed and
here here's the you know, quote real hoverboards. I think
that would I think they're gonna get sued because the

(08:57):
kids are gonna find out real quick that you you
can't go that fast on the hoverboard holding on to
a car, and it's gonna be funnier than Mike Tyson
video of him falling off a hoverboard. Right, hopefully no tragedy,
just maybe a broken bone and a huge lawsuit.

Speaker 3 (09:15):
How about you? How about you, Tim? What did you
think of the truck and the and the and the hoverboards.

Speaker 4 (09:20):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (09:21):
I think it's a nice throwback to the original movies.
I mean, I know they were cool as hell when
I saw them in the movie and we're all still
waiting from the come out to this day. Uh, but
it's it's so iconic. I've even seen them attached the
side of like converted Deloreans that they you know, people
will make the full DeLorean back to the Future prop

(09:41):
bring the conventions and things like that, and they'll usually
have one of those that they can kind of stick
next to the car. It looks like it's hovering next
to it. So uh, you know, it's it's as iconic
as the car itself, I think at this point. And yeah,
just uh just gonna keep waiting hopefully, you know, hopefully
it comes out before where I'm dead and I can
still stand in one need a walker while I'm lovering.

(10:04):
And I don't know to answer your second question as
far as Mary's truck goes. I mean, that was one
sharp look in Toyota back in the day, especially considering
that Toyo wasn't exactly known for making the coolest trucks
back in the eighties. I mean, they just weren't. I mean,
and hell, I guess I can't even talk. I'm still
driving around at twenty ten day sun Exterra. But you know,
when you have something you love, and he really loved

(10:25):
that truck, I mean just really loved it. I mean,
you're just gonna drive until drafts. I mean, that's just
just how it goes.

Speaker 3 (10:30):
True. And I think the one thing he has going
for him is he's in California, so he doesn't have
to deal with all of the elements that we did
with in the Midwest. I mean, he doesn't have to
worry about salt causing corrosion or rust on his vehicle.
So that could probably help, you know, keep it pretty
well pristine.

Speaker 2 (10:45):
Oh yeah, for sure. Those cars out you know, out West,
hold up way longer than you do. He here in
the old rust melt.

Speaker 3 (10:51):
Yeah, all right. So Doc Brown's now in his late
eighties and he's kind of retired from trime time traveling
and he's kind of living a secluded life in his
lab just outside of Hill Valley, And of course that's
where we're introduced to his granddaughter, Jules J. J. Brown,
played by of course I'm a reference Ghostbusters h Afterlife

(11:14):
Again and it's played by McKenna Grace, who we know
as Egon's granddaughter. So I thought it was kind of
neat that they they introduced a a brainy kid from
the Ghostbusters and a brainy kid from basically the same
same damn girl. It's it's just it's kind of funny.

Speaker 4 (11:34):
It's it's also kind of weird because I mean, you've
got a similar situation with the young Latina woman. She's
she's being played, she's playing Wednesday, oh yes, and then
they have and you know that's like a Gothic type
character played by h five head what's her.

Speaker 3 (11:49):
Name, Christina Ricci. Yeah, and then.

Speaker 4 (11:51):
You've got the other show that she's she's in a
Beatlejuice two where she's playing a klepto's role a writer. Yeah.
Well she's still playing her character, but she's playing with
on a writer's daughter, and she's not quite as like Gothy. Yeah,
but it's still it's the same thing. It's just like,
how fucking creatively bankrupt is Hollywood? Yeah, and it's just
more of the same shit. So I think her casting

(12:12):
success well.

Speaker 3 (12:14):
I said, I think it is kind of neat. But
you know, one of the last thing is she's kind
of following also following in the footsteps of her grandfather,
much like she's following the footsteps of Egon her grandfather
and Ghostbusters. Because she's she's kind of playing a rebellious
college student student studying quantum mechanics.

Speaker 4 (12:31):
It reminded me of them having like Judge Harry's daughter
be a night court.

Speaker 3 (12:39):
Oh yes, it's just it reeks of that. Yeah. Hollywood's
definitely or Hollywood television movies. They seem they can't quite
get an original idea anymore. They have to like go
back to the well and just kind of tweak it
a little bit. We are got Joey's opinion, But Tim,
what would you think of McKenna grace being both Egan's
granddaughter and now Browns.

Speaker 2 (13:00):
I don't really think it's an issue. I mean, do
you kind of, like Joey said, you associated as Hollywood
kind of type casting people a little bit, because hey,
we're tears. So let's put it over there. Yes, yes,
they're doing that. Is it a good thing?

Speaker 5 (13:15):
No?

Speaker 2 (13:16):
But I mean she did two nerdy kller, two nerdy
characters relatively close together. And I don't know, I don't
I think she crushed both the roles without a doubt.
I mean, she did excellent in both of them.

Speaker 4 (13:29):
So it's not like, for the record, I don't blame
the actress at all, Right, right, I mean she's got it,
she's got to make it.

Speaker 2 (13:36):
It's a payda, it's a payday for sure. And uh,
you know, it's not really gonna hurt her. I mean
she's done quite a few movies. I mean, she has
an extensive amount of Tellivision credits behind her, So I mean,
if she continues to do such roles, then yeah, sure,
it's it's probably gonna it's probably gonna do some damage
to her, you know, and it's probably gonna type cast
her and get her in to her rup. But you

(13:58):
do it twice, I don't think she's any danger really
being type cast. Uh, and again she nailed it. So
I'm just gonna go with it. I'm gonna accept it,
and I'm just gonna hope that she doesn't keep trying
to do that that character over and over again just
to get a payday.

Speaker 4 (14:14):
Well, they're they're doing The six Billion Dollar Man with
Mark Wahlberg. Do you think they're gonna have her be
the Bionic Woman.

Speaker 3 (14:21):
I think she might be a little too young for that.

Speaker 2 (14:23):
Yeah. Yeah, I think by the time it comes out,
I think it'll be we'll be right back with Vertigo
where it's like, oh, she's way too young. I mean, oh,
that's right.

Speaker 4 (14:35):
Lee Majors had a romance, didn't they have, like a romance,
and then they had the TV movie without a kid?

Speaker 3 (14:41):
Yes, a bionic kid.

Speaker 4 (14:42):
Yeah, okay, yeah, that's hey. You know, Mark wahlbrog looks
young and Hollywood's gross, so.

Speaker 2 (14:49):
I don't think he looks all that young anymore. I mean,
you don't get me wrong, dude, still buffing everything, but
you for me, you know, not not young anymore. Definitely not.
I'm not passing. He's not passing for eighteen, he's not
passing for twenty eight. He may and hid be passing
for thirty eight anymore.

Speaker 3 (15:06):
What did you guys think of Doc Brown's wardrobe? Do
you think it's a little off that he was wearing
the back of the Future two coat, when nothing else
from the future seems to look like the present day.
What did you want to think of that, Tim, I
don't know.

Speaker 2 (15:21):
I mean, let's face it, he's an eccentric old man.
I mean, what do you think of Doc Brown. You're
not exactly associating him with GQ magazine or anything. He's
odd and he's out of place. And but I think
the charm of his characters, that's the charm of his character.
And I also think the amount of time that has
passed since the first three movies released, anything you could

(15:41):
do to kind of visually tie the viewer back to
those is only going to help sell the movie. I
often feel that when a new movie is released after
such a long time in a franchise like this, the
set production crew doesn't do their due diligence and trying
to recreate that same feel as the original because they're
just so far removed, probably generationally, from these movies. And

(16:04):
when it happens more often that it just pulls you
right out of the movie because it just doesn't feel
like part of the story that you remember. So I
think when you can do little things that's gonna draw
you back in and make it feel comfortable. It's gonna
make you accept it and buy into it even after
such a long period of time.

Speaker 3 (16:24):
Interesting, interesting thought. How about you, Joey, what did you
think of the choice of Doc Brown's wardrobe.

Speaker 4 (16:31):
I love that they brought the jacket back because that's
like one of the few things I felt like makes
sense in this movie is that, you know, when you
find a jacket you like, you keep it. My dad's
got jackets from the fucking nineties that we had to say, like, look,
people aren't into teal anymore. I think you need to
retire that jacket. And he's like, well, it's in good shape.

(16:51):
I like it. I was like, oh yeah, but it
looks like you bought it in nineteen ninety five. So
in this case, it's you know, it's from an alternate future.
That's the you know, we're past style. And Doc liked
the fucking jacket. He went back to the Old West
with it. He clearly he kept it somewhere. Was he
wearing it under his Old West clothes when he goes,
you know, back with Marty or did he double back

(17:12):
again and get it double back there you go and
then go get his jacket while you know he's off
raising his kids building you know, steampunk trains and shit.

Speaker 3 (17:22):
Nice. Nice. I'm gonna say I like your I like
your usage of double back the Dizasy Top song from
Back to the Future three and so let's take a
look at some of the strange anomalies that begin occurring
around Hill Valley. It seems to change Hill Valley like
almost overnight. You know, people start to disappear, even memory
Marty's memories are starting to shift, and he sees glimpses

(17:43):
of alternate versions of his self, some much darker. It's
kind of funny because this kind of reminds me a
little bit of the Back of the Future video game
that was available on the Xbox Live several years ago.
These strange anomalies, like they start to occur, there's some
weird stuff that's kind of happened, a lot of a
lot of neat little CGI effects and some really cool

(18:05):
special effects. But we get what looks like almost a
dream sequence at first, for Marty, having these weird flashbacks
to a time when he was a famous rock star,
almost like Elvis Presley, living in a high rise hotel
like Biff and back to the future too, which if
I remember right back in the nineteen nineties, the Back

(18:27):
to the Future cartoon, there was a whole sequence where
Marty McFly of the future was like another Elvis Presley.
What did you guys think of that whole dream sequence?

Speaker 2 (18:37):
I really liked what they did with the memory shift
or basically the dream sequences. We get to see Marty
kind of the Marty that never was throughout alternate timelines.
It's basically a reverse. It's a wonderful life sequence. And
instead of what life would be like without Marty, we
get to see what life would be like with Marty
had he chosen different different paths throughout his life. So

(19:00):
it's a it's I don't know, I mean a vision
vision tage. I don't know what to call it, but
if you will, but nice, it's gonna make it's it's
just gonna make things kind of It makes things kind
of interesting. So yeah, vision tage. I'm gonna go with that.
It's it's a vision tage. It's not a montage. You know,
it's not the flip montage. It's a vision tage.

Speaker 3 (19:23):
So now I get this mental thought of Team America
instead of singing. It's a montage. It's a vision doage.

Speaker 2 (19:31):
It's a vision tage.

Speaker 3 (19:32):
You tream it through. Oh yeah, how about you, Joey,
what'd you think of this vision tage?

Speaker 4 (19:38):
I was honestly looking down at my phone and then
I looked up and I didn't understand what the fuck
was going on, and I had to go back and
because there was an ad break, and that's when I
started looking down at my phone that I had to
watch the ad break again because I went beat beyond.
I went back, and then you can watch the fucking
ads again, And I'm.

Speaker 3 (19:58):
Just like, there's a reason there's those.

Speaker 4 (20:00):
Okay, I guess something had to pay for the fucking
movie because they didn't put it in the theater, not
that I thought. I think anyone would have would have
paid like fifteen twenty bucks to go see this.

Speaker 2 (20:08):
Oh they totally would have. Are you kidding?

Speaker 4 (20:10):
Not me?

Speaker 2 (20:11):
Okay, So so it would have had a huge box office,
minus fifteen dollars for jail Y.

Speaker 4 (20:16):
That's correct. So, uh yeah, it was. It was confusing
enough that I, I, you know, I didn't know what
the hell I was watching. It was Marty's vision quest
is just I would have done it differently, but then again,
I don't know how you would have done it correctly either.

Speaker 3 (20:32):
You know, what I did think was kind of neat though,
is they did manage to go back and grab Flea
and throw him in in one of those in one
of the band sequences.

Speaker 4 (20:42):
Yeah, they just had to do I saw a little
behind the scenes on that where they just had to
do the young person like skin mask, where like they
put a different texture on him because he's he's in
such good shape that like he doesn't walk like an
old person and he's still like fit and everything. They
just they just reskinned him.

Speaker 3 (21:01):
So they went back into Oh, I know you're talking
about one of those like almost see through mask things.

Speaker 4 (21:06):
No. No, like what they did with Robert Downey Jr.
When they made him look young with the hologram flashback
in one of the Marvel movies. Oh okay, they literally
take the the texture map, the texture map the actor
with a younger actor's skin and it makes them look younger.

Speaker 3 (21:22):
Huh.

Speaker 4 (21:23):
They did it. They did it in the Guardians of
the Galaxy too with Kurt Russell. As you get older,
your ears and your nose continue to grow, So when
you look at young Kurt Russell, like it looks like
young Kurt Russell, except like he has old Kurt Russell's
like fucking nose size, so like it doesn't it looked good.

(21:44):
It looked good with Fleet.

Speaker 3 (21:45):
So see, folks, you can learn a lot about CGI
right here on Man Review podcast, and.

Speaker 2 (21:50):
You'll be able to hear it really well because your
ears keep getting bigger.

Speaker 3 (21:53):
Yes, yes, all right. Well, Marty wakes up and seems
to be able to remember to tofferent timelines, and he's
a bit manic as he as he tries to talk
to JJ about what he remembers and sees. What do
you think of Michael's performance? Do you think that the
script at this point really used his ticks from his

(22:13):
Parkinson's because he seemed with his manicness, he seemed more
like Doc Brown than Marty McFly.

Speaker 2 (22:21):
I think they did a great job working with Michael J.
Fox during this movie and kind of putting him in
the best life possible, and this scene is no different.
I think his ability to incorporate his tics that the
Parkins's cousme was kind of really it was a brave
and bold choice that I think really pays off in
the end. It has to be it has to be

(22:42):
a hell living with this disease, and just the fact
that he's willing to perform this movie as a testament
to his unwillingness to let it defeat him. So I
thought he used what most people would consider to be
a negative as a positive as part of the character.
And yeah, I think it's just I think it paid

(23:02):
off well.

Speaker 4 (23:02):
I didn't pick up on it because I think it
was just a performance because he opted for that nude therapy,
the deep brain stimulation. It's where it's called DBS, and
it's a treatment and involves an implanted device that delivers
an electric current directly to the areas of your brain.
The current improves how well those parts work. It's most

(23:23):
often used for conditions like Parkinson's and epilepsy, but researchers
are investigating if it can help many other conditions too.
So basically, you tasee your brain through that permanent implant
and then you're basically you operate much better better than
medication can for a limited amount of time, and then

(23:44):
you go you basically go back to normal, where you
know you have an involuntary movement. That's how they did it.
For the scenes where like he doesn't have a complete
body double.

Speaker 2 (23:54):
I wonder how often they could do that though to
the human brain. It seems like that would have it
scar impact.

Speaker 4 (24:00):
Yeah, it's really scary, and CNN did a whole thing
on it, and and in that special, like Michael J.
Fox has not had it done yet, but the guy
who's the anchor who is actually hosting the documentary did
have it done. And then I guess like Michael decided
to do it. But it's it's very risky and it's

(24:22):
very expensive, so you got to do back to the
Future four.

Speaker 3 (24:24):
Huh. That's interesting. You know, it sounds a little bit
like that that book Flowers for Algernon. You know, I
don't know if you guys ever read the book or
saw the movie.

Speaker 2 (24:37):
Not familiar at all.

Speaker 3 (24:38):
Okay, basically it's it's I don't want to go up
on a tangent. But if you get a chance, check
out the movie. It has Cliff Robertson and it's really good.
But yeah, similar principle with with brain activity. So uh,
we're oh yes. So JJ discovers that the timestream is
destabilizing worst. The source of the disruptions appears to be

(24:59):
Marty Himsel, self. So in order to learn about this destabilization,
we get an interesting thing. JJ evidently creates these time
goggles and they look very like steam Punky. It's a
neat visual, but it seems a little too I don't know,

(25:20):
disx mock enough for me. I mean, she just happens
to invent a device that can view chronal energy. I
don't know. It seems more like doctor Who than Doctor Brown.
What do you guys, what are you guys thoughts in
this device? And how JJ explains Mari's you know, tie
to these disturbances and I'll throw it over to you first.

Speaker 4 (25:42):
Joey, I'm sorry, I was gathering my thoughts. The documentary
with Michael J. Fox is called Still and it's from
twenty twenty three and it's on Netflix, which makes sense
because so, no, that doesn't make sense. I thought I
saw it on CNN. Anyways, Yeah, HBO was doing the
Max thing with CNN and then Still. I don't know.

(26:03):
I thought I thought I saw a CNN. I guess
I didn't, So it was good watch Watch Still.

Speaker 3 (26:09):
Okay, well I'll check that out.

Speaker 2 (26:14):
And now for something completely unrelated, Yeah, they looked they
reminded me of the goggles that you see like once
and never again in Jurassic Park where the kids like
just looking through ship in the jeep, except those were
like cooler.

Speaker 4 (26:31):
And I did not like the time goggles. I thought,
I thought it was a very pathetic way to advance
the story. It was, it was lazy.

Speaker 2 (26:43):
I think you have to give them a little bit
of creative license whenever you're watching a sci fi based movie.
I mean, she's a granddaughter of Doc Brown, you know,
so she does have a leg up in the average
quantum physicist. She's probably the only other person on Earth
that even really knows the time travels possible. So I mean,

(27:04):
could she create a set of goggles that could see
you know, you know, would you call chronal energy?

Speaker 4 (27:12):
Sure? Why not?

Speaker 2 (27:13):
I mean in does steampunk look? It's a nice breakaway
from the sleek sci fi contraptions we usually get from Hollywood.
The only other place I've seen that much steampunk was
in that sci fi series Warehouse thirteen, and I thought
it was cool when I watched it there too. I
thought they did a nice job with it. It was
you know, it wasn't a total sci fi show, but

(27:34):
it was sci fi enough, and it was kind of
nice to see something that didn't have that slick Star
Trek look to it, you know, all futuristic and stuff.
It just it had a familiar but yet a familiar
way of taking you know, brass parts and leather and
stuff and making it look futuristic. So though I thought

(27:55):
it was a neat way to kind of incorporate a
cool sci fi wars you know, I guess steampunk, you
know sci fi look to this movie and give it
kind of a fresh perspective.

Speaker 4 (28:07):
Rick and Morty did it first, and they did it better,
and Uh and Morty found out, which, by the way,
if you don't know, Rick and Morty is based on
Doc and Marty, which was a short that became Rick
and Morty. Uh, they did it first, and Morty used
the goggles to get to a version of the end

(28:28):
of his life where the woman he loves is comforting
him at his time of death. But he finds out
that that's she's just volunteering in hospice and they didn't
have a relationship at all, and he's just dying in
her arms because it's her job.

Speaker 3 (28:48):
You know.

Speaker 7 (28:49):
I did see that one. It's it's kind of sad,
Sack and Morty. It's like it's like Parodi has become
the cannon.

Speaker 3 (29:02):
Yeah, yeah, I can see that.

Speaker 2 (29:06):
You know.

Speaker 3 (29:06):
I do want to say I did like the the
aesthetics of the goggles. I just didn't like the idea
of the goggles. Honestly, I saw that and I thought merchandising, merchandising, merchandising.

Speaker 2 (29:19):
Yeah, I mean, there may be some something to that,
but but again, I mean, where do you go with this?
I mean, what else do you do?

Speaker 4 (29:26):
You use?

Speaker 2 (29:26):
You gotta have something, you know, you gotta have something
to tie this plot together. So it's as good as
anything could have been better. Sure, but again they had
to work with a script that you know, was who
know what revision it was in. You know, it was
not a completely refined script. So the point when they're filming,
they have to go with whatever they got, you know,
and maybe maybe it would have changed dramatically, maybe it

(29:47):
wouldn't changed at all, but I think consider what they
had to work with, it still turned out all right.

Speaker 3 (29:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (29:52):
I saw the goggles at Target and they they it's
a repaint of the Jurassic Park toy goggles. I mean,
Mattel just they've just said fuck it. Let's just slop
back to the future four on there and.

Speaker 2 (30:07):
Yeah, but they do that all the time. We've seen
that in a lot of toys where they'll take once,
you know, one intellectual properties toys and then just repainted,
reconfigure them, and then you know, now sign him to
another intellectual property.

Speaker 4 (30:21):
That's correct. Kenner did it with uh the was it
Little John?

Speaker 2 (30:26):
Uh?

Speaker 4 (30:26):
For the ship Kevin Costner's Robin Hood.

Speaker 2 (30:32):
Yeah, they do it with the.

Speaker 4 (30:36):
From Return of the Jedi or something.

Speaker 2 (30:38):
Yeah, well they basically, I know, they reuse the the
Ewok village and they use the e Wok battle wagon
and they use both of those for the Robin Hood.

Speaker 4 (30:49):
Oh no, the big fat green pig monster, it was
like the bottom the bottom half of him is like
Little John. And that's why the Little John character looks like.

Speaker 3 (30:57):
Shiit nice, all right. So Marty and JJ track the
anomaly to a hidden lab where they find an old,
beat up DeLorean one that shouldn't exist. Inside is a
cryptic recording from Doc warning them of a time fracture

(31:17):
caused by some alternative events in twenty forty five. So
it's interesting that you know, everybody associates back to the
future with the DeLorean, But for some odd reason, the
DeLorean in this movie has been like kind of mothballed
for it. What do you guys think of them like
making the DeLorean have such a minor part in this film?

(31:40):
And I think I'll throw it over to you first, Joey.

Speaker 4 (31:43):
I think it was a missed opportunity for them to
incorporate the Tesla cybertruck. I think that should have been
the one that shouldn't exist, because let's just face it,
that vehicle shouldn't exist.

Speaker 3 (31:58):
You know. I think I think I might agree with
you there, because the cyber truck is it's it, it's
it's ugly. It is ugly.

Speaker 4 (32:07):
They at least associated it with something that's positive.

Speaker 2 (32:11):
It has that same look though as the Dolory. You know,
it's still that like stainless steel looking stuff of the
same cut to it and everything. So that has actually
been a pretty brilliant choice. Plus, can you imagine the giant,
you know, stuff that you could put in the back
of it to try to justify the new time machine,
you know, equipment that he's putting back there. We'd have like,

(32:32):
what was that food process so they putting there. We're
gonna have like a giant whe where you could put
entire garbage Cansfusion, Yeah, the mister fusion, you know. But
now instead of just dropping in a couple of things,
you can take a whole garbage can just flip it
up there and just suck it in.

Speaker 6 (32:45):
Right.

Speaker 3 (32:47):
Uh okay, so you know the Tesla truck instead of
the DeLorean. What about you, tim what do you think
of the of them? Mothball and the Dolorean.

Speaker 4 (32:55):
Real it's friar tuck by the way, that that uses
the pig okay from Star Wars.

Speaker 3 (33:01):
My bad?

Speaker 2 (33:02):
All right, and now for something completely different, I don't
it's it's interesting that we get to see Delaurian at all.
From what I read, they were actually supposed to have
viewsed an updated version of the Deloreian in the movie,
and an FX company called Imaginary and Productions was contracted
to create the new Delorian, and I guess they were
adding some of the last time travel components onto the

(33:23):
back of the car when one of the Wilders kind
of got careless, and well they caught the car on fire.
So at that point it was almost one hundred percent completed,
and they were pretty much right up against production. There
was very little time left for them to you know,
before they need to deliver it, and they tried to
cover it up. They didn't want to tell anybody, and
they started trying to rebuild a new one, and I

(33:44):
think betrayed, you know, between trying and source the new Delaurean,
because I mean they're out there, but I mean they're
still not readily available. You can't just walk down to
any car lot and find one.

Speaker 4 (33:53):
So see just another reason why they should use the
cyber truck because those those have been catching fire a
lot these days.

Speaker 2 (34:01):
There you go, but I think they really for something
that was going.

Speaker 4 (34:03):
To catch that causes and on natural causes.

Speaker 2 (34:06):
Well, there you go. But I think, you know, because
of the limited time they couldn't they couldn't find one.
Uh they they weren't able to deliver it on time,
so it only ultimately caused them to have to close
their doors. Uh. So I think the studio decided at
that point to just take the scrap the Larean and
use it in this scene to at least have the
car make a showing in the movie. And then they

(34:27):
end up using more of a CG alternative time machine.
Uh and we'll see that they're gonna, you know, they're
gonna bring back the time train, you know, which I
guess if you have to the Lorean, there's the next
most significant one.

Speaker 3 (34:38):
We have is the time train, right, and it's probably
a little easier to well, you know, CGI CGI, but
it's probably a little easier to have it. I think
the the locomotive still is in like Volo Illinois or
something like that. I know it's it's still in a
museum somewhere, so they can always go back to that
to get the to do the CGI ganning of it

(35:00):
with with light art and stuff.

Speaker 2 (35:02):
Yeah. Well, and probably they were like, look, we're already
using some steampunk you know stuff in the movie. Let's
just go ahead and use the steampunk train. It would
make more sense.

Speaker 1 (35:13):
I guess.

Speaker 3 (35:13):
At this point a nice a nice melding of of
all three movies coming together. We discovered that the DeLorean
is mothballed, and now so uh, Marty and JJ have
to go and do a little investigating, and of course
their their investigation leads them to Griff Hannon played by a. D. H.
Tom Wilson by CGI, Biff's grandson, who claims to have

(35:38):
been approached by a man called the Riftmaster, offering him
power and exchange for a mission to destroy Doc Brown's legacy.
So I think this is this is where I feel
as though the story kind of gets a little I
don't know too many writers, too many cooks in the
in the in the kitchen when they were coming up

(35:58):
with the storyline, because it seems very a mismatched through
here with this whole rift Master storyline and Griffs showing up.
What did you think, Tim do do you think about
this rift Master? Was you know, a character to to
bring in at this part of the movie to like,

(36:18):
I don't know, tie into Doc Brown's alternate timeline. I mean,
they kind of keep this character in the shadows, and
I don't know, I'm kind of second guessing myself as
to who it was. But I mean it might have
been a good giveaway from the poster to show the
rift Master. But you know, what's your thoughts, Tim Well?

Speaker 2 (36:39):
I mean, let's face it, we all knew that Biff
or one of his relatives was going to be involved somehow.
But I have to agree this is this is right.
I agree with you. The d aged Tom Wilson, I
thought that was not done as well. It kind of
pulled me out a little bit. Uh but you know,
getting past that, I do think the addition of the

(37:01):
new shadowy villain was it was a nice twist in
the overall story arc of you know, the Back to
the Future franchise. So, uh, it was well executed. And
I agree with you man I I I didn't realize
that it was an alternate timeline Doc Brown at all,
and I definitely didn't see the whole evil party thing coming,

(37:22):
so it was it was kind of refreshing, I mean really,
because they could have done so many worse things with this,
so I thought was really kind of an interesting way
to to change the direction of the movie, and he
just didn't see it coming.

Speaker 3 (37:36):
Joey, what did you think of of the dh Tom
Wilson and and the whole time rift or the Rift Master.

Speaker 4 (37:43):
I love Tom Wilson. I think he's I think he's
very very funny. I love his his stand up routine,
which about you know, questions that are getting old. But
I'm sure that routine's getting old from him too. Uh
So I think he's great, but he didn't he didn't
look right right. Yeah, he's put on a few pounds

(38:05):
and you know they they should have went for a
middle aged Biff alternate nineteen eighty five Biff. He wouldn't
he wouldn't need a whole lot of makeup, And I
would have I would have gone a hold other direction.
I would have. I would have went with Evil President Biff,
and I would have I would have done up the
hair a little bit more. I would have gone with

(38:26):
those memes and stuff. But again it was just another
missed opportunity. Let's dage him instead of use his age,
and they didn't do it. He's too old to play Griff.

Speaker 3 (38:34):
They probably could have done something a little better with
like putting his head on a on a on a
younger person's body or something like that, kind of like
you said, Chris Evans and Captain America. All right, So
Marty and JJ use a rebuilt time time train to
travel back to twenty forty five the a cyberpunk future

(38:57):
where time travel is outlawed and Hill val he's under
the corporate rule by Brown Tech, a company founded by
our rift Master. So the rift Master outlast time travel,
but he still used it to advance his business in
the cyberpunk future. Typical evil genius. Everyone else has to

(39:19):
follow the rules, but me, he does have an issue
motive as to why he focuses the anomalies around Marty.
I felt that they forgot about the part of the
story until close to the end of the film, even
when it felt like a forced wrap up. Any thoughts
on what you guys think of this, of this possible
future of twenty forty five, the.

Speaker 2 (39:41):
Rift Master, Outlaw and TI Travel is it's a handy
movie trope to lean on to move the story along,
and it's it's really not all that original. I mean,
let's face the countless movies use a not for the
but alright for me plot device, but it's not the
worst way to move us to the next act, you know,
kind of things considered. I do wonder if the anomalies

(40:03):
around Marty was part of a major rewrite of the scripts.
If so, it may have been in an early version
or revision state once it been added, and again, do
the writer strike. They couldn't fully, you know, flesh it
out into further revisions. So it's still an interesting twist
to the story nonetheless, But yeah, I don't know it

(40:26):
gets us where we need to be, I guess, is
what I'm saying. But could have been better, could have
been a lot worse.

Speaker 3 (40:30):
Gotcha. How about you, Joey, what do you think about
about this whole story plot with the Riftmaster and outlining
time travel? Does it really kind of mesh well with everything?

Speaker 4 (40:42):
It's it's a missed opportunity on so many levels. Number
one is lazy that they did twenty forty five. It's
too close to like Blade Runner twenty forty nine. And
then they should have brought back Eric Stoles and he
should have been like an evil Marty. I don't I
don't like this alternate timeline Doc as the Riftmaster. I

(41:04):
just I didn't buy it at all.

Speaker 3 (41:06):
All right, Well, now now we're kind of like in
this in this darker timeline, and Doc's alternate self now
a cold and powerful businessman is obsessed with controlling time
to ensure that he never loses anything again. So evidently
this alternate timeline is where Clara or Clara still goes

(41:28):
into the Ravine after she's neglected by Emmett due to
his time experiments. Seems like Destiny won't let this alternate
Doc Brown be happy. So I'll start off with you first, Joey,
what did you think of Clara? Actually winding up back
in that that Eastwood ravine and it's now the Brown Ravine.

Speaker 4 (41:50):
I'm just glad to see the mom from step Brothers
working again. I don't think i'd seen her in anything
since Last Man on Earth.

Speaker 3 (41:59):
I saw her in a episode of The Good Place.

Speaker 4 (42:04):
She shows up because she guest starred.

Speaker 3 (42:06):
Yeah, she shows up as a as like a short
little guest actresses.

Speaker 4 (42:11):
Almost a guest star in this movie because she's not
in it very long. Will she get like what seven
minutes something like that, I think. Yeah. The weirdest thing
about her casting in a Last Man on Earth was
she went from playing Will Ferrell's mom to being having
adult relations with.

Speaker 3 (42:32):
You don't remember that. I haven't seen.

Speaker 4 (42:35):
He's barely Will Ferrell's barely in that show, but like
their they're partners. And then the other guy, uh, the
lead character, the other guy named Will shows up and
scares him, and then Will Ferrell's character has a horrible
heart attack and dies of fright and then she's mourning
him for like the rest of the season.

Speaker 3 (42:53):
Huh.

Speaker 4 (42:54):
But she just played like a few years before she
played his mom.

Speaker 3 (42:58):
Yeah, that's that's that's that's a little weird. Yeah, So
how about you, Tim, what did you think of of
the the death of Clara Brown.

Speaker 2 (43:07):
Let's face that having a character's love interest parish due
to their lack of attention is the perfect catalyst to
creating a super villain. Apparently, even a character as level
as Doc can succumb to the dark side and become
a mad scientist. See what I did there, Batdam World domination.
Uh you know, uh, starting this movie, who would have

(43:31):
ever seen this coming? I mean, at all level of
Doc Brown super villain? So yeah, it was, it's it was.
It was an interesting transformation for the Doc Brown that
we all know and love from the first three movies.

Speaker 3 (43:46):
You know, I I do have to quote Alan Moore
in uh in the Batman uh comic book. Uh what
was that lonely plate? Not a only pitch die? Uh
the last laugh and the Joker says, you know, strange
things can happen to someone from one bad day, and

(44:08):
it's evidentely here true here. You know, Doc Brown has
one bad day and it changes the future forever.

Speaker 2 (44:15):
Man. Just you know, we're not giving you any more
points for Batman references.

Speaker 3 (44:18):
All right, all right, that's my last one. So JJ
and Marty discovered that this this alternate doc was created. Again,
I think they all change to the unknown suffers from
that fatal there.

Speaker 4 (44:33):
They're young, and I thought it was kind of neat
to have as old as all back what it is,
but they've never seen them.

Speaker 3 (44:41):
What did you think of that? I mean, like, is
a nice way back the third.

Speaker 2 (44:46):
Morm franchise or they can I can say, find yourself
in stay away from that revision comes from it at all.
But again here we have a nice old call back. Yeah,
Toton Ravine and now back we don't have the character
names saying only this time as the vine. So you

(45:08):
know again I like as many times, although you think
they made this movie three or did they make the
original generation that enjoyed the first three? And I think
if they wanted to the franchise, so you know, it
was a nice.

Speaker 3 (45:27):
Everything, no kind of I know who they made this movie.
They made this for the Benjamins.

Speaker 2 (45:33):
Yeah, yeah, there was a little that involved all the
way around.

Speaker 3 (45:37):
Let's go ahead and move along then, So the only
way to fix time is to undo that event, but
doing so means possibly fracturing the timeline even further, as
it is also brings two time machines crashing into one another.
So Clara was in the time train running away from
Doc Brown and shows up in twenty three five, just

(46:01):
as a younger version of Marty from eighteen eighty five
comes screaming across the bridge and colliding with the train
in twenty thirty five from a nineteen eighty five Dolorean.
If I understood that correctly, because Marty was wearing a
cowboy hat and the Clint Eastwood poncho from the scene

(46:25):
the shots inside the car, which obviously they reused scenes
from Back to the Future three. What did you think
of the death of Klara and how it could affect
everyone when they found out that JJ and sorry, the
death of Clara and how it would affect everyone when
they found out I mean JJ losing her grandma. Going

(46:47):
back to witness it, Marty sees a younger version of
himself getting disintegrated and apparently his atoms spread across the
time continuum. Do you think that the performances really showed
the emotional beat of the scene.

Speaker 4 (47:03):
I got one word for you, Egon, we already saw
her in this with her grandfather.

Speaker 3 (47:10):
Okay, oh, I got it. I got it her Her
performance when she sees her grandfather Egon, Okay, she didn't.

Speaker 4 (47:21):
Even know him and then he died and she gets
to know him through the ghost or whatever. But it's
it's still it's just more of this rehash bullshit.

Speaker 3 (47:29):
Gotcha? How about you? Tim?

Speaker 2 (47:31):
I don't know. I'm gonna go the opposite. I mean,
this is a Steven Spielberg movie. If anyone's going to
know how to capture the emotion of a scene like this,
let's face it, it's him. I mean the fact that
he waited to film the scene last, knowing that everybody
in law would know it was not only the last
shot of the production, but it's the last time they
would all be together to make a back to the
Future movie. I mean he took the melancholy atmosphere and

(47:54):
use it to, you know, draw out the best emotional
reactions from the actors. He possibly get it, and it
pays off of space.

Speaker 4 (48:00):
Man.

Speaker 2 (48:00):
I mean you can see it. You can see it
in their faces, you can see it in their performances.
I mean, he he, he.

Speaker 4 (48:07):
He hit it.

Speaker 2 (48:07):
I mean he hit it hard, and he got a
huge paid.

Speaker 3 (48:10):
Ahead of it. Yeah, yeah, you know, I I have
to agree with you. I think I think all the
actors in this in this scene, you know, they really
acted their hearts out. It was it was a very
riveting emotional scene. Uh, towards the end of the towards
the end of this movie, all right, well let's uh,
let's go ahead and move a little further down our timeline.

(48:31):
So Marty and JJ need to fix the timeline. So
Marty makes a quick choice to leap on the train
pull Clara out before his alternate self runs into the train.
So they go back in time. They do a little
bit of jiggery pokery with with the time train, and
they're able to exist simultaneously for a split second, and

(48:53):
Marty's able to pull Clara out of the train, and
then time of course resets, and uh we then returned
to twenty twenty five with one last anomaly. Uh JJ
as a new has a new memory of Doc Brown,
leaving behind one final message, time isn't done with you yet, Marty.

(49:15):
So I don't know, I felt like this movie was
to kind of cap everything off, We're going to end
the franchise, you know, But there's all these little like
subtle innu windows and subtle subtle things where they might
do something more, and I think again that's where the
where the the whole script and the writers strike really

(49:36):
kind of screwed with this movie. The wrap up seems
like it's just it's too easy. I mean, it does
seem like another callback to win Doc saved Clara in
in Back to the Future three, But just the the
fact that there's a message from from Doc Brown, I
don't know, it seems very patchworky. Well what did you

(50:00):
think of that? Tim?

Speaker 2 (50:04):
This is the final chapter of Back to Future and
it's an age old problem. How do you end a
beloved series in the most epic way possible. I'm not
sure you can't. You just have to write the best
ending you can that will satisfy the fans and not
make them absolutely hate what you've done. And going the

(50:25):
safe route will ensure you're not burned at the sake
for you know, wreckoning a belove franchise, and we've witnessed
that far too many times. I mean, hell, I don't
even mind that it sort of uses the same formulas
back to the Future three. So I guess what I'm
saying is is that, you know.

Speaker 3 (50:41):
I think I can live with it, gotcha? How about you?

Speaker 4 (50:46):
Joey.

Speaker 3 (50:46):
What do we think the end where you know, they
quickly save Clara, reset the timeline, and then there's like
this cryptic message and it just kind of like ends
almost peters out.

Speaker 4 (50:57):
It's more garbage, just more garbage. What am I supposed
to say? It's like, it's it's like this movie should
have never been made.

Speaker 3 (51:09):
All right, Well, that that kind of leans it brings
us to the end of the film. You know, we
kind of like fade to black and that's about it
gets some cool sound, there's cool original theme songs, and
then that's that's the end of the film. Final thoughts,
Tim on on what you thought of Back to the
Future for.

Speaker 2 (51:30):
Is it a perfect movie? No, but I never thought
we were ever going to get another one of these films.
And again, most of the time, when a franchise waits
what over thirty years to create a new film, they
usually lose the overall field the original movies and the
actors have a hard time reconnecting with the characters. This movie,
I don't think really suffered from that. It did it

(51:54):
suffer a little bit, probably from a poor script. Yes,
did they have some problems because the actors are sold
They had to use a little CG that takes you
out of it. Yeah, yeah, there's some of that too,
but uh, you know it was I still blame it
mostly on the inability to alter the script, you know,
doe to the writers' strike that caused most of the

(52:16):
problems that we see. And I think Fielberg did a
great job with it. I mean, you know, for what
he had to work with, it was a stunning final performance,
you know, for the cast and characters, for Michael J. Fox,
for you know, for Christopher Lloyd. I think I was
happy to see them get to go on one more
venture together. And it's I've just seen far worse. So

(52:40):
I'm satisfied. I'm satisfied with where this movie ended and
how they they went about making it.

Speaker 3 (52:47):
Okay, Yeah, I can I can see that, you know.
I do have to. I have to echo your sentiments
as well. I mean, I I like the movie from
a nostalgic point of view. I like how they were
able to infuse some of the classic elements. It did
seem a little odd, the CGI stuff, because it didn't
have that same glow as the classic feel of the movies,

(53:09):
the other movies, you know, because the other movies had
more practical effects along with the c along with the
early CGI effects or early you know, uh science or
FX stuff. But yeah, I thought this movie I wanted more, honestly. Uh.
But you know, I'll dive more into that when we
do our death clock. How about you, Joey? Any any

(53:29):
last thoughts on the on the movie before the death Clock?

Speaker 4 (53:33):
Uh? You know, I feel like this is just uh
trash written by Ai and I did. I did find
out though, that they did have a deleted scene where
Jewels excuse me, JJ's a father of a vern does
show up. It's a very brief part. I'm going to

(53:54):
share my screen right now and show you guys. There
here we go. There's the day, all right, And that's
what I think of this movie.

Speaker 3 (54:09):
Oh man, but.

Speaker 4 (54:10):
Yay, you know JJ. You get to find out where
JJ came from?

Speaker 2 (54:14):
Right?

Speaker 3 (54:16):
Uh? Did not need to see that, Joey? All right?
Well that brings us to our death clock. So, gentlemen,
is it worth taking the two hours and twenty three
minutes off your death clock to see back to the
future four? And you know what, I think I'll go
over to you first him all right.

Speaker 2 (54:33):
Well, I'm gonna say absolutely In fact, I don't say
this very often, but I felt like it was so good.
It feels like you're not taking any time off your
death clock at all. So how about you, Matt?

Speaker 7 (54:48):
What did you think?

Speaker 3 (54:49):
Uh? You know, like I said, I enjoyed it from
the nostalgic point of view. Is there better movies out there?

Speaker 1 (54:57):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (55:00):
I take this, take this time off my death clock
to watch this movie. I'm gonna say yes, I think
it is. I mean, it could have been worse. They
could have made you know, I don't know Star Wars nine.
Oh wait, they did make a Star Wars nine, didn't they?

Speaker 2 (55:18):
Did they?

Speaker 4 (55:18):
Though?

Speaker 3 (55:19):
Did they? How about you, Joey? Is this worth taking
time off your death clock? You know?

Speaker 4 (55:27):
I think I think there's somebody out there who is
in a hospital bed and they're you know, someone someone
had the the good nature to try to like put
on some entertainment for them, and I think their algorithm

(55:48):
is going to because they like back in the future,
it's going to bring up this podcast. And I think
that's the only person who's gonna make it to the
end because as they can't change the content that they're
listening to.

Speaker 3 (56:04):
Well, that's been back to the Future.
