from Talk Is Jericho · host Chris Jericho

Author and pop culture historian Brad Gilmore returns just in time for the 40th anniversary of Back To The Future! He and Chris break down Brad’s new book, Why We Love Back To The Future, a deep dive into the making, legacy, and ongoing cultural impact of the iconic film trilogy. Brad shares behind-the-scenes stories from interviews with Christopher Lloyd, Lea Thompson, Bob Gale, Robert Zemeckis, Claudia Wells, and more. They talk casting controversies (Eric Stoltz vs. Michael J. Fox), the Broadway musical adaptation, lost scenes, Biff Tannen’s villainy, and why the original film is considered a perfect movie script by filmmakers like Quentin Tarantino.
