Where weâre going on this episode⊠we donât need roads!
Back to the Future isnât just one of the most beloved films of all timeâitâs one of the greatest what if movies ever made. A film that may have written the book on time travel in cinema, it thrives on the ripple effect of choices big and small. What if a famous soft drink had been the real power source of the DeLorean? What if George McFly had proof that his old friend Calvin Klein wasnât just a dream? And in the real worldâwhat if Michael J. Fox never took the role?
In this special 40th-anniversary episode, Bry the Movie Guy fires up the flux capacitor to explore the alternate timelines behind Back to the Future, from the actors who almost starred to the moments that could have changed the story forever. Plus, we dig into the filmâs time travel rules, hidden details, and whether one punch from George was really enough to rewrite history.
So set your time circuits accordinglyâbecause once this podcast hits 88 mph, youâre going to hear some serious sh*t.
