Film Junk Premium Podcast: Back to the Future Trilogy

Posted by on February 3rd, 2012   Filed under: Featured, Film Junk Podcast, Premium Podcast

Great Scott! It’s the fourth episode in our continuing series of premium podcasts, and this time around we decided to double back and rewatch another staple of ’80s cinema: the Back to the Future Trilogy! The first film is obviously a classic, but some people seem to be divided over whether or not the sequels are worthy continuations of the story or just pure cash grabs. In this episode we analyze time travel paradoxes, reflect on Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale’s vision of the future, discuss our preferred Jennifers, and decide once and for all who made the better contribution to the series soundtrack: Huey Lewis and the News or ZZ Top. You guys might not be ready for this podcast, but your kids are gonna love it.

    I’m there! You guys rock!

  • Jay

    Sweet! Just in time for the weekend! Not my favorite trilogy, and I don’t have any attachment to the series but should be a fun listen as always.

    You guys are gonna need an intervention from the amount of coke and hookers you’ve been purchasing with all this premium podcast cash.

    I feel like such an enabler.

  • bard

    Thanks again for a great podcast! I’m looking forward to the next one. I have to ask though, why no top five best/worst parts this time?

  • http://www.seandwyer.net Sean

    We considered it but I think we all realized that we were going to have a hard time coming up with 5 bad moments and it wouldn’t be that interesting.

  • bard

    I wouldn’t be able to come up with five either. Thanks again! Any clue what movies the next one will be about?

  • Greg

    I think we decided on Debbie Does Dallas, Debbie Does Arlington and Debbie Does Fort Worth.

  • bard

    Well, I was born, raised, and currently live in Fort Worth, so I’m DEFINTELY looking forward to it!

  • KeithTalent

    Gah, I’m so far behind. Just bought the Jurassic Park one and I have not even watched those movies yet!

    Ah well, better too many FJ shows than not enough.

    Fantastic! I just saw part 2 and 3 last sunday. Yay!
    Here´s my 4 bucks!

  • patrik

    Awesome.. Indiana Jones, Terminator, Tarantino special and Danny Boyle special, and when I say Danny Boyle special I mean anything that would include Sunshine, are on my personal wishlist.

  • mason

    Around Halloween you guys should do the Night of the Living Dead/Dawn/Day of the Dead trilogy. I also think you should do more like the Christmas podcast where each of you select a film for everyone to watch that fits into the sub-genre or category of the episode.

  • Greg

    By the way, for those living in major cities in Canada, the Back To The Future trilogy is playing on the big screen at some Famous Players theatres.

    I never noticed that Verne Brown thing before. I read somewhere that the child actor may have been signaling to Zemeckis that he had to pee. Or maybe he was being vulgar towards Elisabeth Shue. See here:

    And you guys must be aware that there was a Back to the Future animated TV series, right? Jules and Verne were characters in that.

    Here’s a neat comparison of the end of part 1 and the beginning of Part II: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4QLKKqjk7A&feature=related

    Also, here’s a video of a guy totally frustrated at the blu-ray packaging during his show-and-tell review: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8PSNIuL0XN8

  • Ozymandias

    You should do a Christophe Nolan special. Another one.

  • Xidor

    I would be up for a Rambo quadilogy, but you will need a fresh supply of body bags and more than four stars.

  • KYUSS

    Die Hard Trilogy – Fuck 4.0

    Bought, Worth every penny to support you guys.

    Thanks

    Great listen. Would have liked the best and worst five though (even if you couldn’t come up with 5 worsts).
    Also, glad Jay mentioned the 2 Delorians fuckup in 3. That’s always bugged me. Just take the gas out of the Delorian in the fucking mine!!!
