Nostalgia Trap - Episode 225: Trap to the Future w/ Danny Bessner, Courtney Rawlings, and Bill Black

On our first live podcast episode, Danny Bessner, Courtney Rawlings, and Bill Black join us for a detailed look at the 1985 pop culture nostalgia monster Back to the Future (dir. Robert Zemeckis). We take on the film's weird political economy, sexual psychology, and engagement with 20th century American history, discovering a disturbing, often racist, conservative vision at the heart of Zemeckis' insanely popular filmography. And of course, we find out if Back to the Future really did predict 9/11.
