20th Century Pop! is a podcast where hosts Bob and Tim take a sociological look at the pop culture of the '80s and '90s.
RETRO SHOCK: “Calculating the horse power for 88MPH required too much math for the joke.” (1990)
With its beloved characters, iconic set pieces and epic score, Back To The Future is considered one of the greatest family films of all time. So Bob and Tim are going to talk about ...the third one ... with all its horses ... and cowboy hats... and... ahm ... dirt. Seriously, this is how they discuss one of the defining trilogies of the 1980s? Double-back and consider why its not the second one as they revisit Back To The Future Part 3.
00:00:00 PRE-SHOW PRATTLE -some pressure
00:01:09 ISN’T IT SEMANTICS? - two sequels verses a trilogy
00:06:34 MAY 25TH, 1990 - and Bob’s seen this one the most?
00:10:54 MODERN DAY - trilogy intentions
00:14:10 DEJA BOO - and what’s up (with) Doc?
00:23:12 TACKED IN TIME - and an actual train wreck
00:28:21 THE CLAYTON PARADOX - Tim takes a little too long to not quite explain time travel
00:34:14 SPACE TIME CONTINUITY - and that dastardly DeLorean
00:39:00 SPACE TIME CONUNDRUM - where did all this character development come from?
00:47:14 GOOD REALITY/BAD REALITY - and maybe that particular conversation was off mic
00:49:34 CLOSING - contacts, plugs and no catch phrase
Relive the end of Back To The Future Part 2 with the ORIGINAL TEASER FOR BACK TO THE FUTURE PART 3 that played with its release.
Read how screenwriter Bob Gale envisioned the Brown family’s first time travel adventure together in Graeme McMillan’s BACK TO THE FUTURE WRITER FINALLY ADDRESSES THE LAST LINE OF PART 3 as originally published in THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER.
Travel to an alternate timeline where Marty gets stuck in the ‘60s to ensure his parents do it with NUMBER TWO: THE FIRST DRAFT OF THE BACK TO THE FUTURE SEQUEL BY BOB GALE.
Question the canonicity of Doc Brown's appearance with this ULTIMATE VERSION OF BACK TO THE FUTURE: THE RIDE.
Make some sort of “Knowledge is power” “Power of Love” pun with BACK TO THE FUTURE: 88 THINGS YOU MISSED IN THE TRILOGY by Seb Patrick and originally published at DEN OF GEEK.com.
Grow painfully tired of Kirk Cameron reading mail with the 1990 behinds the scenes special SECRETS OF THE BACK TO THE FUTURE TRILOGY.
And, finally, maybe don't bother with the movie soundtrack staple of ZZ TOP'S OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO FOR DOUBLE BACK.
