Let's talk about the ride that steals the spotlight every time it hits the road. The Volkswagen Teagueon. It's sleek exterior makes the first impression you can ignore, step inside to find available leather seats and wood accents, the kind of interior that makes even grocery runs feel cinematic. Under the hood, the available 268 turbocharged course power engine gives it a fun-to-drive edge.
The refined Teagueon, you deserve more style. Visit vw.ca to learn more. S-C-B-W, German-engineered for all. The Rewatchable is brought to you by the Ringer podcast, Network.
The watch, you're still doing it. Still? C-R-S here. Cousin Sal.
C-R-C-S. Sydney D-C. B-S. S-I.
They'll never be a quarterback with initials that makes it. You said that at this table. Oh, I said that was C-J-M-S. C-J-M-S.
It's one of my worst takes of the decade. Yeah, one of my worst takes of the decade. It's fine. It's fine.
You can hear it because it's down against all odds. You can hear it in less than four months on my podcast because football's coming back. Is that right? Yeah, less than four months.
I looked at it. It's May 10th. Awesome. Opening night's September 5th.
We'll be doing it over under three and a half months. This is very exciting, mostly because I don't now have to call a baby doll and ask if I was renewed or not. That's great. Coming up, we're going to do a sequel.
Back to the future, too. We had to have Sal for this. It's next. You've got to come back with me.
We're at the future. Marty and Doc are on a mission. But they're about to discover that getting back is completely at the beginning. Michael J.
Fox, Christopher Lloyd, and Michael J. Fox. Mom, is that you? Back to the future of R2, Red P G.
A brand new future is coming on Wednesday November 22nd. Alright, a movie filmed in 1989 about people in 1985 who traveled to 2015 and then 1955 to save life in 1985, but eventually end up in 1885. Yes. That's back to the future, too.
It somehow makes sense. Yes, because it's quite an elevator pitch. It's more to it. I promise.
I really enjoyed re-watching this. I hadn't seen it for a couple of years. Seen it a bunch of times. It was on the HBO, TNT, Vortex for 15 years.
And I think because it gets lumped back to the future three, they filmed it together. They didn't do quite as well as the first one. I actually think it's underrated now, Sal. I know why it's not underrated for you, but do you think it's underrated, Chris?
It was much better than I remembered it. I really enjoyed the Back to the Future movies in general, but I hadn't seen two in a while. I feel like I'd seen three the Western one a little bit more recently. But this was pretty delightful.
And all the 2015 stuff is uncanny at this point. Yeah, 2015, now nine years ago. That was the tumultuous year for a lot of reasons. But they almost did.
Almost one year off, I think. But yeah, and in 2015, October 21, we were in Brooklyn, Jimmy Kimmel Live, and we did a bit with Christopher Lloyd and Michael J. Fox commemorating this on that day. And they got together and I got to run lines with them.
And obviously, this is one of my favorite movies of all time. That's like the borderline, like, top 12 careers. Oh, my God. Really amazing.
Amazing crap. And then just like the time machine and I'm not, I don't know what I'm waiting for. Let me just pull this out. I got it.
You brought props? I got it. I got this. I think four people gave this to me on one of my birthdays.
It's not a reprint. Yeah. But it's kind of like cricket scores and crap. I got it.
I got it. Giddy for a second, Chris, but nothing. Nothing. Nothing we could capitalize off of.
That's shit. When did you get that free birthday? Probably like 10 years ago. I think I got more, but I try to give them three minutes.
We'll put that here for now. Let's take that. Show that. Yeah.
But I got to say, this is one of my favorite movies. It gives me more anxiety than blood diamond inside reference. But I'll say, I kind of hate you. I hate you.
I hate you. Cowboys PTSD. Yeah. Rewatchables is great.
The movie is great. But I hate you guys for making me break this down and get through all the nitpicky moments of this because I'm coming from it from a different angle. And it's like, because there's 107 categories with, uh, what's the Rudy Tom Johnovich knockout scene that shouldn't happen. That's a good one.
No, I'm not. Yeah. So anyway, um, I love it. See how did this movie create the multiverse?
Uh, did anyone do it before? Like, I think that obviously a lot of sci-fi writers have been working with, like, the idea of, like, butterfly effects and timelines and stuff like that. But I think even like Carl Sagan was like, this movie does the best job of explaining the perils of time travel, at least philosophically and ethically. High praise from Carl Sagan.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
I think Tarantino once listed the perfect movie. He said that we're like four perfect movies. And he said one back in future one was one of them, one of the perfect movies. And so maybe this is a little less perfect, but well, I mean, there's some, a lot of reasons for that.
But one of the reasons you're here, other than you love the Back to the Future franchise is the Almanac, which I don't know, did this plant the seeds for you to be a DeGeneres Gamber? Was this it? Because what are you like? How old are you when you see this movie?
I was like 14. Yeah. I was already in there. You had already started to think about.
And then all of a sudden there's this magic potion, basically, to just win every bet. From 18 when this came out, 14, right? Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. And I don't even know how Marty flying over to the future isn't thinking about this before he even lays eyes on Ray Sports Almanac. Like, this is like, when I'm flying to Arizona and I could play Fandall, I'm six parlays in before I hit the tarmac. You know?
So I don't know. I guess we're just wired differently. So this is why I'd ask you guys. Yeah.
This is the major philosophical question here. Yeah. In this movie, the McGuffin, the totem of the movie is this Sports Almanac that's out, hopefully brought it. You guys are two of the biggest gamblers I know.
Yeah. Is there any part of this that's like knowing the results takes away some of the fun, like would it take away the juice to just win every bet because you knew the results? Isn't the whole point to kind of trust your intuition? You're like reams of research and thinking about all the different permutations.
You want the answer? You want to cheat the test? Well, I know Sal's answer because in round one, he stumbled on bet both teams minus nine and a half. Yeah.
He was winning like 80% of them. And I think he just would do it for the rest of his life. Yeah. You just want to win bet.
I've seen enough games and permutations of games that I can like I'm good with this. But well, what's your answer? For real? Well, my short answer is not all the results are in the book, so you can still gamble on some other stuff.
Yeah. I want you to do a right to bet on the stuff that you don't know so you can still get your Jones on that. I was going to do this later and probably an answer was what we can do now. How many games would you have to throw to keep people off the scent?
What's the exact percentage you would want to, would you want to be like 75% before people get suspicious or think you're like a, you know, like a fucking person from the future or literally or you're practicing voodoo or something? What's the normal other game? 70%. Right.
So first of all, I don't know that I would benefit from this book. Okay. Like as a freshman in college, I had the answers to an American history exam. It was 200 true, false.
And I got to see minus. So I'm like, I don't know. And also like, like Bill says, you have to be careful. Otherwise the casinos will shut you down.
Like if you have this, who do you tell? Do you just tell the two of us? I would probably tell my idiot friend Harry and they're like, see you. Right.
Harry is a drink. I couldn't tell somebody. I couldn't bet anyone. And then Krista, your point, then it's the worst.
Then you don't want it all. Cause now you know the results of all of us. Yes. And you can't.
It takes away. Wouldn't it ruin sports? Right. Yeah.
You just get into like, it's from the 1950s. There's Nick's game three and you're like, who cares? Yeah. And so all the money in the race is in 1958.
And then from that point on, I think he's just picking his spots and trying to go like 17 for 20, every 20 bets, but big bets. Like I'm going to bet the Dodgers to win the World Series in, you know, 1966, whatever it is. And do they win in 1966? No.
No. No. No. No.
No. No. No. No.
No. No. No. No.
No. No. Well, I think you probably don't think about how we might not be able to. First of all, he strikes a big one.
He's 21. So he has his mitts on this thing for three years. Yes. He doesn't follow any rule in society, but he's like, you know what, I'm gonna be cool.
I'm not going to bet before I'm 21 and he does it and he pulls it off and that's where he becomes a millionaire at the horse races and stuff. And then how did he bet? So, the horse racing is probably the easiest. But he would have, so we'd had to do like some 20 to 31 parlay.
Yeah. Triple start. They have those, say, $1000. Not a lot.
Yeah. Yeah. I'm coming in and I'm betting the Super Bowl and I'm betting the World Series and I'm betting the Kentucky Derby. To just make it be like, this guy's just touched.
He really knows what he's doing. I don't know. Not that many places to make those bets though. Because Vegas is very early Vegas.
Where else? Is that Linux that he even have? No, you're right. Sports game and like that.
He's working with. We got to the mafia. The mafia just kills it. The mafia is like, this guy's one 10 straight bets.
We owe him $5 million. Kill him. I think so. Yeah, like Benions.
He's in with Benny Benion and that's it. I don't know how long he does it. On the other hand, the Intel isn't as good as like a Fandal has it now where they're like, hey, keep an eye on this guy. Right.
So maybe he could. Like what they did to Reheem. That's what they did to Reheem. Then a couple of bump-ups.
Reheem's in back to the floor. Tripp the John Tae Porter flag. Yeah. Even there's people following him.
Yeah, he dies probably by 1964. Right. He probably bets on Cassius Clay to beat Sonny Liston. Wins that one in the mop is like, take this dude out.
Yeah, right. I never want to see this dude again. Put a bone inside. Yeah.
Might have been in the election with JFK. Is that in the book? No, it's a sports all-in-act. This is a good category.
The nitpicks. But like, how did all the, this is 50 years of stuff fitting in this magazine, basically. Yeah. Because even when you see the magazine, so you have, like it says, like football scores.
I just don't feel like you'll have all the week to week stuff. So maybe that would be to answer your question from earlier. How would he have fun betting on this stuff? There's probably weeks from football and basketballs.
He's going along where he doesn't know what happened. Yeah. College basketball, baseball. Maybe hockey wasn't even in there.
Right. And they had him, I think the original thought was they make it like 500 pages or at least thicker, right? So it looks plausible, but it has to fit in and out of everybody's jacket on the field. This got to be as careless as possible.
Yeah. I did it all the time to drive it. So I asked you guys from things in a, this is actually the rare case where I sent the question ahead. I appreciated that.
You're welcome. Top five things from a movie you'd love to steal in real life and what the rankings are. And is this one of the five? So I wrote, I had four.
But what did you have to do? What did you have for like your top three? I had the Holy Grail from Indiana Jones, I had that as well. I got that.
A general life. Now you are. A general life. You got to stay within the boundaries of the Alexandria or Alexandria where you're like can't go past the seal.
But I am under the pressure that Sean Connery, they poured on the wound and he comes back to life and everything. So you just wait till you're really in need of that HGH shot. Would you pour that on a beat or would you do it on yourself? I think I do it on myself.
So selfish. And then the other one that I had was Peter Bran's algorithm from Moneyball so that we never get advanced stats in baseball. I would steal the algorithm. Wow.
So we're just still just like, hey, we've got to dig in and rub some dirt on it. Back to just arguing about no mar versus. Yeah. With no stats.
Yeah. It was more fun back then. Yeah, really. Yes.
I don't want to do math. That's a good one. I hadn't thought of that. They live glasses is up there.
Definitely. The Raiders stuff. I don't know. I guess I still don't know about the briefcase and Pulp Fiction.
It's just going to be affidavits that are going up or something. I have no idea. Why did it light up? We never.
I guess I'm going to figure it out. In 2027. Yeah. I don't even think this is the most sought after prop in this movie when you take the DeLorean.
Oh, I was going to say the time machine. Oh, yeah. Oh, you take the pink hoverboard? Oh, the hoverboard is great too.
Yeah. Pretty sick. But you're not going to get to 1885 in the hoverboard. Like you can go to any time.
Like Bill, you like Rome. The DeLorean is a great answer. Yeah. I think that the DeLorean though requires a lot of maintenance that I wouldn't have to wear a ball to do.
So I would, I would be the guy who gets stuck in the Great Depression. Interesting. Chris would be on his hoverboard going around LA and some homeless person would just throw a beer bottle. I would knock him off.
He'd be dead. My number one. All great choices. The limitless bill to me is number one.
You bring this up a little. Didn't you just bring this up about Carly and Finney towns? Like the other day you were like. Yeah.
It's a bit of an Edward. Yeah. Everything slowed down forever. Yeah.
Yeah. I was doing the analogy of Cooper at the end of that movie with Daenera. I was like, what the fuck is going on? I was like, I see everything Carl.
I would love the limitless bill because I feel like you could also use that for gambling. So I basically get the great sports on. That's right. I can just assess games.
I have an IQ of like 220 and the mental energy to just watch seven games at once. I'm crushing my ass. The first thing you have to do is immediately start making more limitless pills. And that you will now have an addiction to the limitless pill.
That's fine. It's like the movie YouTube channel ringer and the basketball YouTube channel. That would be your life. I have a lot of YouTube channels.
Yeah. You might want that or the pill. So how would you handle the almanac? You're not telling anybody?
You can. I don't think you can. I don't think you could tell anybody. Secretive.
You wouldn't want to be friends with me because I think I would ruin the games for you. You want to see the results. We'd be watching a lot of like preseason because there wasn't the almanac. You get so fucking mad.
Maybe you're right. Maybe you're wrong. I don't know, Bill. I just be reading South Space.
Guess lines if you're just like, that's it. I don't want to do this. Well, tell me all the answers. We'd have to guess lines somehow to you.
I have the weak one results. Things this movie predicted in the future. Rejuvenation clinics. They have those now.
Yeah. Holograms that come out like that Jaws 19 Holograms. That was great. We have versions of that.
We had that Tupac on a stage at Coachella. The scenery channel, which seemed like kind of a goofy thing to have in the movie. But now people have those, right? Yeah.
It's just like a TV like that. Yeah. It's just like a show in Niagara Falls. Yeah.
FaceTime video chat systems. So how is that total recall created this? But total recall is a year after. The concept of just dialing somebody up on your giant TV and talking to them.
Yeah. I don't know if that had been in a movie. Yeah. They also do when Marty's kid comes home, Marty Jr.
Yeah. He turns on six different channels which is basically like, I'm going to have my phone. I'm going to have my iPad. I'm going to have TV.
You're doing that now. Yeah. Benson did that last night when he came home. Yeah.
Yeah. I think that was meant in the movie to be this funny thing about how chaotic the future would be. And I watched that. I'm like, oh, that looks like Tuesday.
Well, the funny thing is Robert Mizzamek is the director was like, I really didn't want to do much stuff in the future. Because I find that most movies that try to predict the future are basically so off that it winds up dating the film. Yeah. And instead he fucking nailed it.
And somebody's like, if they had spent more time in 2015 in this movie, it would have been, I would have loved it because he got so much of it right. I mean, there's even also with Jaws 19 and just all the franchising of culture having Michael Jackson and Richard Nixon and Ayatollah Khomeini and Ronald Reagan in the diner or whatever, as waiters, all this stuff, the idea of taking our nostalgia and selling it back to us. Yeah, you're right. Yeah.
Ubiquitous cameras. That's in there. I don't think we'd ever consider that in 1989. The five panel TVs, I feel like we probably felt like that was coming, but they certainly didn't exist in 1989.
Hands free video games. I don't think I'd ever thought about that before this movie, where like, I forget when the week came to be like mid 2000s, wearable technologies, movie has that, fingerprint scanners. Yeah. Yeah.
Payment on personal devices. We didn't have that in 1989. And then the self-facing Nike's, I feel like I have those down, right? Well, they did the mags, the Nike mags and they're, I think they go for like 30 grand now.
So like they did a limited edition. I don't know if they, I don't think so. So what's the most impressive prediction to yourself? I don't know those things I listed.
I think the hologram would be like, what the hell? What do we even look at? How do they even notice? I'd love to see the Jaws 19 one where it actually scares the crap out of you.
I think we need to work harder on that. But I do feel bad. Like the flying cars to your point, I think he had to put that in there, but it really is so far off. We have like automated self-driving cars or we probably not that far from like in your lifetime there will be flying cars.
There'd be so many accidents. So many. It's such a far. Yeah, you'd have the cars that have to bounce when they fell.
And this is flying cars, hoverboards. We still don't have those. Although we do have those weird segues. Self-driving jackets.
Never seen that. Good idea. Automatic dog walkers. Sounds great.
Like, sign me up if we can ever figure out that piece. Because we have those little things that deliver, those little deliverables. The ritual for you is to go take the dog really hour walk after ourselves. I can't take Murf anywhere.
Murf's angry. Really? He's COVID damaged. He doesn't really like people that much.
Murf has PTSD from the pandemic. I mean, we didn't socialize him enough. He hates everybody. It's the first angry golden retriever.
Get them together with Einstein in this movie. Hydrated pizza? Yeah. I think for everybody for the kids, right?
Yeah. He's just on the road. You can not make dinner quick enough. It's a funny bit when she's got the little bag in there.
We're going to be able to eat all that. Right. I feel like they could have done mac and cheese too for that. Yeah.
It could have been chicken nuggets. I could have had more food. And then the other mess was the Cubs winning the 2015 World Series against the Miami Gators. Who did not exist in 1989 but had them in the American leagues and that was a mess.
And then kind of like the Miami Gators as a name. Yeah. But that was pretty strong. They should change it.
Yeah. Maybe like 1200 people show up. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. Gator culture. Zemeckis only agreed to do the sequel of Fox and Lloyd returned as well. And then as Chris mentioned, did not want to make it Blade Runner-y.
Wanted to make it fun and more difficult. It's kind of like more Epcot Center meets on a shotgun wall. Yeah. That's it for a sequel.
This is this has I think the most not on returning not returning like no second. Yeah. I lost a couple of that. There's three negotiations and other things in the process.
But I remember, you know, at the end of the back of the future one, it says to be continued, right? Like the there is like an illusion to the idea that there's going to be a sequel. But one of the things that's funny about too is that they shot it in conjunction with three. They shot it and like there's great stuff.
And by the way, me and Sal, our generation was very aware they were filming the two movies simultaneously. And I'm not really sure how we knew that. No, I don't know. I definitely knew they were making that.
Maybe Michael J. Fox mentioned and I'm like Letterman or something. Yeah. And he's also making family ties during this.
Yeah. One of the all time like Tom Thibodeau salutes Michael J. Fox for playing 48 minutes. He's shooting family ties during the day and back to the future at night and making two back to the future movies back to back.
For like a year. Yeah. And when you get to the end of back to future two, it ends with a trailer for Back to the future three. And that was the first time when I saw this in the theaters, I remember being like disappointed.
Well, that was the current game of that reaction. Yeah. Everybody was like, what the fuck? This isn't what?
Yeah. And it one is so perfect. It's like a perfect little box. He fixes the future by fixing the past.
He's got his girl. He's got his truck. It's it's perfect. And then there was like, oh, yeah, he's going to go running off into the future.
We're past again, like doc is. So this is the first experience I had with being like, and maybe I don't know if I won't wear this. Like I, and especially at the end of two, you're like, so now we have to go back to pass. It's the anti-Sopranos, right?
Yeah. They should have met in the middle somewhere. And then the final stage is the black. Like, oh, maybe a lot more.
But what the, and this is like, oh, hold on a second. Let me just take this movie in before we go to 1885 and make me, you know, terrible western, you know, a version of themselves. Yeah. Do you like three or no?
I like two more than three. Yeah. I'm not a huge fan of three. Yeah.
I can't remember the last time I watched something. You always hate it. I just had the Wild West. It's like, I always felt like it's corning when there's something kind of childlike about this, the sequels to me where they don't really feel like stories.
They're like continuing adventures of these characters doing time travel stuff. Yeah. What if I could help my parents? You know, what if I could save my parents somehow, make their lives better by going back and changing at this one crucial moment.
And instead, when you keep adding on to it, it's like, well, then is every moment somehow crucial. Like, if you fix this and you fix that, you fix this, but then this, this and this happens, which is probably accurate to the ideas of time travel, but for storytelling, it's like, you want the idea that like, your dad has to punch Biff at the dance. And that's how like his life changes. That was the, that was the hinge moment of his life.
Yeah. Also, when Marty created rock and roll. That's right. Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. And then we were just like, you know, we were all going to pick it up right where one and two, like, yeah, it's an argument.
It's been through. I was like, Oh my God, I'm exhausted. I've been through the equivalent of 1000 red eyes and talk around, ask the fly right in at that moment. He's like, can we do this in like three days?
I know. Right? I'm taking it to dumpster. I'm taking it.
Right. I mean, I mean, do you guys any minutes? And by the way, can you just tell me what to do with the travel? Like, we have one ending where they're, you know, they're handing a letter every this and 30 years, but I have to jump on with my girlfriend and travel back.
Yeah. That only Russ Meyer was the only other filmmaker by this point in 1989 who ended a movie with a coming attractions from the next movie. But people didn't like it. It made people mad and the third movie didn't do nearly as well as the second movie which didn't do as well as the first movie.
They there's some good research in this about how they landed on going back to 1955. Initially it was supposed to be 1967. They decided they were gonna be protesters. They decided that didn't work.
Well it was also because George and Lorraine would have been too old to be hippies. They decided on 55. Crispin Glover will get to later starts hijacking them for money. That gets fucked up.
All of a sudden now they do 85 in 2015 and then the end going back. And as Chris said he wanted to make the feature like a nicer goofier happy place. Not like a crazy place. The writer of this movie because what's his name?
Bob Gale. Bob Gale. He said they took inspiration from Donald Trump for 1985 Biff. What?
Yeah. I knew it was some kind of casino owner abhorrent you know just Braggart. Tyrant but I thought so twin. Yeah.
I think they're just one of the four traitors. How many movies has Trump somehow? I mean it's home one too. I mean like yeah.
I feel like this is the fifth one we've done. The other thing is they had a and it just doesn't seem like a big deal now but it was then that industrial like magic with the ability to put Michael J. Fox three different ways in the same scene. Yeah right right.
Until 1989 if I'm doing a scene with Sal but Sal's playing me doing my voice doing my voice. Sal they would have to cut it, film it. They would have had to like chop a tree. Nobody calls me chicken.
Right. So then they just were able to do this so much easier after this and that's where we went. Michael J. Fox it's almost over here for him as a movie star.
He had casualties of work came out one month earlier with the John Pan Bryant Fama good Vietnam movie. Not a field group. No. And then he had this in three.
We're about a year and a half away from Doc Hollywood in the hard way. So and then it kind of does this. I think he gets the MS diagnosis. Some probably has some.
He goes back to TV for a while. But he keeps that secret goes back to Spin City. But this is this is before he was diagnosed and there's talk about how he couldn't negotiate the hoverboard because of the early stages. Yeah, but they didn't realize what it was.
I mean, this is an epic. I'll just do it. He's too old in this movie. And so is Elizabeth shoe.
Like it's all the side of the night. To know theory of like you guys are sophomores in college, but I'm zeroing 35. It may have made sense if they had just been like it. Yeah, it should have been Marty isn't at UCLA or whatever.
Yeah, I would have fast forwarded it. He could have been a young adult. Yeah, I think that would have been a better idea. But Zemeckis was so adamant about starting up from the moment that it took off that he recast they had to recast Claudia Wells.
Is that her name? Yeah. That's Jennifer with Elizabeth shoe and they do a shot by shot remake of the ending for part two. Yeah, the last 30 minutes is just the end of back to the future.
We shot from different characters POVs. Yeah, I don't know. I wonder if Zemeckis would do that over again. Well, so to the Fox point, you're just up against the thing that I think also kind of happened to Matthew Broderick where, and to some extent, yeah, I think I would leave it at those two more.
Craig, I was going to say he's actually cut goes deeper into his like late 20s and early 30s of just like you have this essential boyish charm. And as you grow out of it and probably make different choices for the kind of movies you're doing, you know, obviously you've got a legion of actors coming up behind you who are doing the Ferris Bueller and Marty McFly parts now. And they just never graduate into the angry young man, middle-aged man kind of roles. And obviously Fox's ownness had a lot to do with that.
But he, I think, was awesome. Well, yeah, so look young and he was, yeah, but that's why I have to shoot these quickly, right? Like if there was a Ferris Bueller sequel, they're like, all right, let's get on this now. And those kids are like, you know, yeah, they look like stranger things are a great example.
You for is another good example where there's just no way those kids can be high. There's no way those kids can be high 20s that all that said and everything he's been through Michael J. Fox. He looks better.
The 2015 Michael J. Foxy actual Michael J. Fox looks better than Marty McFly in 2015. Yes.
They like age him and he's working on everything else. Yeah. Ageing stuff. That's pretty good.
I like the Cusack point. Because he was in high school movies in like 1982 and then in say anything, he's back in high school in 1989. Yeah. That was just the era where we just cheated with stuff like that.
Well, Bruce, Grace made it all open up. He's 30 years old seniors in high school. She's a soccer chain. Yeah.
$40 million budgeting, $332 million. Third highest grossing movie of 1989, which was a movie year. That was super fun. And also a good kind of snap shadow where movies were going.
Yeah. A lot of sequels. And maybe the script wasn't there. I think the year, maybe another 48 hours of this year, next year.
It was like, I just want to see. It's like Bob Gale's finishing two. Well, as a Mac is his writing is shooting three. It's like kind of what you see a lot with like big blockbusters today where it's like, we got these actors for this window.
We got to do it. We'll fix the script while we're doing it. We'll fix the script and post. We'll fix the script.
You know what I'm missing in 1989? Cocaine. It's like in 83. You could do it.
Tell Bob. Like send him a bag and he can go to the show. They don't want to line in the hot tub. And they're in the hot tub scene or something.
He's shooting them 20 months. Yeah. He says, Roger Ebert, three stars. Back to the future part two is an extra rising goofiness.
And excursion of various versions of the past and future is so baffling. Even the characters are constantly trying to explain to each other. He had some complaints and then said, and yet the movie is fun. Mostly because it's so screwy.
Yeah. They have these pretty long expository scenes all the way down to having a chalkboard to explain time travel. Yeah. But then all the action scenes and all the comedy is basically like Buster Keaton.
It's like almost slapstick comedy like that. Which I kind of miss. Like I will get to the rewatchables after the break. But like that whole 20 minute sequence of him just trying to get the magazine back.
I feel like I don't do that enough in movies anymore. He's like, oh man, he's got it. Oh, he almost got it. Now he's stuck under the desk.
Music helps with the car. Yeah. You're just the whole. And I know it's going to happen with the whole time.
I'm like, all right, let's take a break. And then we'll do a rewatchable scenes. All right. Most rewatchable scene.
Would you put the Shopeye Shop remake of the ending? Because I would not. Oh, yeah. You would?
Yeah. The last half hour of this where it recreates back to the future. No, I'm saying at the beginning of the movie. Oh, not really.
Yeah. I'm already putting on the self-lacing Nikes, which gives us, you get to see downtown Hill Valley in 1985. He gets to see Biff's grandpa. The nostalgia store with the perier.
Yeah. The cafe 80s, which is hilarious. Two McFly's in the cafe 80s. We got a hoverboard chase.
Really strong seven minutes. Specifically, I thought the cafe 80s was great. But I also love that stuff. You're talking about the Romanian and Reagan and MJ or waiters and just the video game.
