Rock To The Future | We Won't Finish This Podcast #22

Send us a text

Welcome to the most chaotic writers' room on the internet! This week, Savage pitches Rock to the Future—a time-travel comedy meets stoner rock odyssey that’s equal parts Back to the Future, Bill & Ted, and a fever dream after too many brownies. It’s 1978, and a teenage slacker gets shoved into a time capsule locker, only to emerge in 2008 to chase his rockstar dreams. Will he shred with his idols or get wedgied into oblivion? Let’s find out—sort of!  

0:00 – Intro: Meet the Table  

The gang kicks off with music, applause, and an unhealthy obsession with their new studio table. "It ties the whole thing together!"  

Savage blindsides Spaceman and Zeebz with Rock to the Future. No prep, all chaos—perfect for our writers’ room vibe.  

0:56 – The Pitch: Rock to the Future Unveiled  

Meet Robbie St. Van, a 1978 slacker with long hair, sideburns, and a garage-sale 1959 Gibson Les Paul. He’s obsessed with rock gods like Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, and the heaviest band ever—Feather!  

3:05 – 1978 – The Setup  

Daltrey High School, 1978. It’s the 30th anniversary, and the time capsule locker is the star—until Robbie gets locked inside.  

Whimsy alert: The locker’s magic mutes his screams. He’s got his guitar, his dreams, and a bully named Seth Armstrong with atomic wedgie skills.  

Teaser: Will Robbie woo Janice Chambers or get his Les Paul smashed?

9:22 – Feather’s Stage Disaster  

Robbie fantasizes about seeing Feather live, only for guitarist Davey Bones to crash through the stage and die.

The crowd crowd-surfs his corpse while Robbie shreds a solo. Too bad it’s all in his stoned head.  

13:43 – The Bully Beatdown & Time Jump  

Seth the Jock delivers punches, insults, and a locker stuffing. Robbie’s guitar snaps—ouch!  

Cut to 2008: The locker opens, and Robbie stumbles into a gritty Daltrey High.

From 1978 stoner to 2008 outcast—can Robbie survive the future?

19:49 – 2008 – A New Era, A New Wedgie  

Robbie’s a relic in skinny jeans land. Enter Chuckle Bunny, a vending-machine-robbing wook who loves Feather too!  

New rival: 3rsty, a dubstep DJ with MySpace clout and wet beats.  

25:07 – Band Recruitment: The Oddball Montage  

Robbie and Chuckle Bunny form a band to open for Feather’s “One Last Hurrah” tour. 

Clara, a goth drum goddess, steals the show. Could she be… someone’s daughter?  
43:05 – Juggalo Detour: ICP Chaos  

Robbie crashes an Insane Clown Posse show (thinking it’s Kiss), wakes up with Faygo stains and a hatchet man tattoo. Whimsy overload!  

50:41 – The Band Unites: Peter Returns  

Surprise! Clara’s dad is Peter, Robbie’s 1978 bestie, now 48 with a basement jam space. Reunion hugs and Feather tunes follow.  

Chuckle Bunny’s out, Peter’s in—band practice gets tight, and the Les Paul gets reforged!  

56:48 – Battle of the Bands Showdown  

Time Capsule rocks the stage with originals and Feather covers. Robbie’s unstoppable—until 3rsty's dubstep steals the crowd.  

1:03:10 – The Ending Debate: Where Does Robbie Go?  

Does Robbie meet a washed-up Feather and cry? Jump back to 1978 to shred with them pre-suck? Or stay in 2008 as a nostalgia rockstar?  

1:11:56 – Wrap-Up: Socials & Sign-Off
