We’re going back…to That Was Then! Paul, Arlo, and Eric return to their series of vintage movie discussions to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Robert Zemeckis’ 1985 sci-fi comedy blockbuster Back to the Future. It’s a classic beloved by many folks of different generations, but we’re here to answer that most pressing question: Why? The gang unravels every last nonsensical thread of BTTF, finding plenty to love despite how fuzzy everything is beneath the film’s surface. There’s admiration for Zemeckis’ ability to power through even the dumbest plot convolutions, praise for the dynamite chemistry between Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd, confusion about Zemeckis and co-writer Bob Gale’s attitudes toward race and sex, and so very much more.

NEXT: Gobbledygeek will return.
