[PREVIEW] 🎙🧚‍♀️ #091 - Back to the Future

from Commentary Fairy

A film with a perfect screenplay... just received a perfect commentar3h^&%#N}*fa$Z@)SH||||PH!! holy cow that was so untrue I wasn't physically able to type it. But seriously, how does a film that contains these story elements - a mum who wants to ride her son's pony; successfully coercing someone into making a move by pretending to be from outer space and threatening to melt their brain; a scheme to fake an act of heroism by creating a real victim of molestation; pine breeding; reefer addiction; and Kombi-driving Libyan terrorists with AK-47s and RPGs - become one of the most acclaimed and beloved family-friendly sci-fi adventure mega hits of all time? I'll tell you how: by being straight-up LIT. Discussed in this episode: Titles de-crispifying 4K quality How Marty met Doccy Joe's majorly flawed "nested problem" story structure thesis Doc miraculously managing to reverse the Delorean out of his van when the interior is inexplicably filled with an entire fire-extinguisher's-worth of opaque smoke Doc and Marty's transgressive she'll-be-right attitude towards a cell of Libyan terrorists eager to detonate a nuclear device on American soil The 50s signage "S" that's halfway to being an underscore Christopher Lloyd's ageless agedness Dave McFly's life without a head Marty's obliviousness to Lorraine's raging hornyness for him and George's obliviousness to her raging un-hornyness for Biff (although he catches on in the car scene) Biff's weirdly prolonged pre-rape(?) warm-up routine The ultimate One Punch Can Kill / BTTF crossover commercial campaign The Pimply-Gingernut-Dance-Hijacking-Butterfly Effect in action Chuck Berry, plagiarist Australian terrorism Doc's unforgivably amateur cabling Universal Studios queue-jumping a-holes, family-size The no-second-hand-on-the-clock potential plot-hole [that dissipates when you realise, post-commentary, that the clock would of course still have a second GEAR, allowing the exact second that the clock stopped to be determinable] Doc's complete abandoning of his no-messing-with-the-future principle Marty's living nightmare as a complete stranger to everyone in his life Back to the Future Part IV - The Dark Night of Marty's Soul Doc's radioactive sploogetonium (if you want to sync it up to the film, we hit PLAY @ 5:51)
