Speaker 4: My three favorite films are The Prestige, Interstellar, and mcgruber.
Speaker 4: And until this week I had never seen Back to
Speaker 4: the Future.
Speaker 1: Steven Spielberg resents Back to the Future Robertson Macers film.
Speaker 1: Marty leads an ordinary life, normal fly ever a monitor
Speaker 1: anything in the history of Hill Valley.
Speaker 5: The history of this can change to the future.
Speaker 1: Yes, that is some sexy graphic design right there.
Speaker 3: It's nineteen eighty five and Martin McFly, played by the
Speaker 3: incomparable Michael J. Fox, has trying to help his friend
Speaker 3: sined Us and inventor Doc Brown the incredible Christopher Lloyd
Speaker 3: commemorate his first fora in a time travel but things
Speaker 3: go awry when Livy and terrorist in a comedy van
Speaker 3: turn up the gun poor Doc down. Marty manages to
Speaker 3: escape by jumping into a time machine I read decoed
Speaker 3: DeLorean and find himself pretty quickly in good old nine
Speaker 3: PET fifty five before coming face to face with his
Speaker 3: both his mum, the excellent Leader Thompson, and his dad,
Speaker 3: the incredible Crispin Glover, potentially erasing the existence of both he,
Speaker 3: his brother and his sister. The top film of nineteen
Speaker 3: eighty five from director writer at Robert Zemeckis alongside his
Speaker 3: writing partner Robert Gail under the watchful eye of Steven Spielberg,
Speaker 3: Back to the Future is a master piece.
Speaker 1: If you don't think so, you can get Nick Cody.
Speaker 4: Have you ever passed your mum in a parked car?
Speaker 4: I know I'm from the Western suburbs, but I'm not
Speaker 4: that I have not. Unfortunately, no, I didn't know it
Speaker 4: was possible until this film.
Speaker 1: It's possible.
Speaker 3: Why hadn't you seen by the way we had spoken
Speaker 3: about We've been wanting to do this for how long
Speaker 3: it's been a couple of years, and a couple of
Speaker 3: years I.
Speaker 4: Always want to be was there a movie that I
Speaker 4: hadn't seen? And I said back to the Future and
Speaker 4: you reacted how most people do, which is what the
Speaker 4: of you done with your life? And then about a
Speaker 4: year later, you said you still haven't seen it. I said,
Speaker 4: I still haven't seen it, and I don't know why. Yeah,
Speaker 4: I just don't know why I hadn't seen it. Yeah,
Speaker 4: it looks great.
Speaker 1: I haven't seen an Indiana Jones film either. We'll meet
Speaker 1: you back here at.
Speaker 4: A year's time for Nicky watching Indiana jonesters.
Speaker 1: A Lost Dark. But I have seen Scarfe saighty five times.
Speaker 3: Well, let's talk about your three favorite films before we
Speaker 3: bring our guests out. When you mentioned two Christopher Nolan films,
Speaker 3: I wasn't expecting a third to be Macgroober. There was
Speaker 3: a reaction in the room when you said Mago mcgroover
Speaker 3: of fans in the audience view. Yeah, very silly.
Speaker 1: There's the one willer you love Magroover.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a great film based on an SNL character,
Speaker 4: and the character didn't do well on SNL at all.
Speaker 4: Then they made a film out of it, and it's
Speaker 4: just it's one of those films. The reason I put
Speaker 4: it in there, obviously the Godfather one and two are
Speaker 4: better than Macgrober.
Speaker 1: Well, well, not an idiot.
Speaker 4: It's one of those films that if I I could
Speaker 4: watch it from any point, and if I saw it
Speaker 4: on CB at any point, I'd have to watch the
Speaker 4: rest and I don't need to see the whole thing
Speaker 4: to enjoy it, Whereas I feel films like The Godfather
Speaker 4: one and two you have to watch them all. You
Speaker 4: don't just watch a scene and go that'll do you know?
Speaker 4: Whereason Gruber little bind size chunks enough.
Speaker 3: And with Interstellar and The Prestige, why, I mean, Christopher Nolan,
Speaker 3: obviously you've gone past Uppenheimer and you've gone past.
Speaker 1: Up and im Go sucked. I hated it so much.
Speaker 1: I hated it.
Speaker 4: Oh, I saw it at Imax as it was meant
Speaker 4: to be filmed. They had to make poor Imax here.
Speaker 4: They had to change the reels that it could be
Speaker 4: played on because he couldn't cut twelve minutes out of that.
Speaker 1: How could you.
Speaker 4: We've got to see every meeting on the biggest screen, imaginable,
Speaker 4: A lot of effort not to see some bombs come on?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was.
Speaker 3: Surprised had a little of the bomb we said we
Speaker 3: actually saw so the Dark Night right, all that you've
Speaker 3: gone through these two films, why these two films, I
Speaker 3: don't know just the thing about them that I enjoy
Speaker 3: so much there are Obviously, once you know the ending,
Speaker 3: it should make it you never want to watch it again.
Speaker 1: But I still enjoy watching it.
Speaker 4: I don't know if that's because I played Ossie Rules
Speaker 4: and Gridiron growing up and I've had a few concussions.
Speaker 4: Maybe I forget what happens. But I can watch it
Speaker 4: again and again and thoroughly enjoy it. I find with
Speaker 4: the pressed even this week, I've watched it again. I've
Speaker 4: probably seen it twenty odd times. I just love it,
Speaker 4: really And there was a little line in there that
Speaker 4: I didn't even realize, you know, foretold what's coming up.
Speaker 1: I hadn't realized that line in the past.
Speaker 3: I mean trying not to discuss the film backstage, but
Speaker 3: I'm dying to know if you like Back to the
Speaker 3: Future or not. We're going to bring out our guests,
Speaker 3: ladies and gentlemen. First of all, a man, great friend
Speaker 3: of mine. He first joined the podcast for an episode
Speaker 3: where he'd never seen Sex Lives and Videotape before. His
Speaker 3: three favorite films We're Life at Brian, The Godfather and
Speaker 3: Dirty Rodding Scownges. Please welcome Charlie Bickery. He he, Hey, Charlie,
Speaker 3: we'll keep moving, bring out our guess out. We'll get
Speaker 3: chatting soon.
Speaker 4: Please welcome, fantastic really feel welcome. Do you know how
Speaker 4: to host the show? Charlie, I have a little experience.
Speaker 4: These were good A fantastic comedia. One of the human Beings.
Speaker 4: She joined you went to Nothing Yet to discuss the
Speaker 4: movie Tassi Driver, which he had not seen at the time.
Speaker 4: Her three favorite films are Dumb and Dumber adaptation and
Speaker 4: a movie I hadn't heard of, heart Beeps. Please welcome
Speaker 4: Zoeku's ma.
Speaker 1: Hello.
Speaker 4: I just want to get straight into the heart Beats
Speaker 4: because it is this something to cover up for Dumb
Speaker 4: and Dumber.
Speaker 1: No, it's even worse.
Speaker 6: It's like, it's one of my favorite kinds of movies,
Speaker 6: which is when you find one of these, it's such
Speaker 6: a treat, which is like a big budget turk. It's
Speaker 6: just like a flop, like a big budget flop that
Speaker 6: has a really stacked cast and you've never heard of
Speaker 6: it before, and you're just think, oh my god, this
Speaker 6: must be incredible.
Speaker 1: It's like one of the worst films I've ever seen.
Speaker 6: It stares like Andy Kaufman and Bernadette Peters as robots
Speaker 6: who fall in love and it is.
Speaker 1: Extraordinary. It's so unwatchable. Didn't succeed. Has anyone in the
Speaker 1: audience seen heart Beats? Yes? Did you enjoy it? No,
Speaker 1: it's a shucker.
Speaker 6: I think it's got like three points on like it's
Speaker 6: like three out of ten on IMDb or something.
Speaker 1: It's like nothing wonderful, Charlie.
Speaker 5: I was just gonna say the experience of I know
Speaker 5: of heart Beats, because if it's a very niche thing
Speaker 5: and this some people in the room maybe too young
Speaker 5: to remember this experience, but I believe you would be
Speaker 5: across it when you used to borrow videos from the
Speaker 5: video store and you would watch the.
Speaker 1: Trailers at the start.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and half the time they were movies you'd never
Speaker 5: heard of and they weren't available at the video store,
Speaker 5: and you're always just like, wow, that looks shit, but
Speaker 5: I want it, you know, like you.
Speaker 1: Get that heart beat. So I remember a trailer and
Speaker 1: I never saw it in captivity.
Speaker 6: And they're so like it's so big budget, like they've
Speaker 6: done full prosthetic makeup on all of them, and like
Speaker 6: you can't really see anyone's face and they're all there
Speaker 6: like I.
Speaker 1: Love you all the whole It's so weird and so great.
Speaker 1: It's still three out of ten people like it so
Speaker 1: wild it holding on to that one.
Speaker 4: Charlie, and I asked you to this podcast. You told
Speaker 4: me that you saw Back to the Future on the
Speaker 4: day it was released five.
Speaker 5: Yes, this nineteen eighty five, not an alternate nineteen eighty five,
Speaker 5: And it was the most exciting film experience I'd had,
Speaker 5: Like it was unbelievable and nothing really surpassed it for
Speaker 5: a long time. To go there, it was like first day.
Speaker 5: It was like first day of summer holidays. Went saw it.
Speaker 1: It was like ten am. And to see Michael J.
Speaker 5: Fox rolling around on his skateboard at the start of
Speaker 5: that movie, hanging onto the back of cars, You're just going,
Speaker 5: this is possibly the coolest human that's ever going to
Speaker 5: walk the planet, Isn't it like that?
Speaker 1: As a kid was just like that?
Speaker 7: Is it?
Speaker 1: It's that exact magical moment between childhood and adolescents. That's
Speaker 1: exactly what that movie was, and it's his. I mean yeah,
Speaker 1: because I wanted to ask, was the cinema full for
Speaker 1: the ten am? No reason?
Speaker 4: I asked, Yeah, I saw remember the Titans at Werribe
Speaker 4: Plaza on score Holidays and year nine, I think, and
Speaker 4: no Friday night lights. Sorry, And there was no one
Speaker 4: in there, and the guy running the reel just opened
Speaker 4: up the screen and said, do you want to get
Speaker 4: something neat before we start? I got a foot long
Speaker 4: subway and then he said do you want to see
Speaker 4: the trailers? And I said are they good?
Speaker 1: And he said nah. He said, we'll just go to
Speaker 1: the movie. Then we're in that ten And that was
Speaker 1: the day you became a man. Yes, signed up for
Speaker 1: the Western Crusaders.
Speaker 3: Zoe, you've seen the film. You wouldn't have seen it
Speaker 3: in cinemas because I think you were two.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I was maybe one one. Yeah, I so I
Speaker 6: wasn't if I did see it, I don't remember very well.
Speaker 1: Yeah I don't.
Speaker 6: I don't remember a time when I've not have seen Like,
Speaker 6: it's always a movie I've seen. I don't remember watching it.
Speaker 6: I just have always seen it. Yeah, I don't understand
Speaker 6: how you've not seen it.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I have a theory and maybe, yeah, maybe you're
Speaker 6: like a time traveler from from a from a time
Speaker 6: when back to the future didn't exist.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's get to Miching to know.
Speaker 3: Okay, this is the big question now, from nine eighty
Speaker 3: five Roberts Mechus Spielberg, Market Day Fox, we know it?
Speaker 3: Or did you enjoyn Cody Back to the Future. So
Speaker 3: I'm going to be honest. Thursday afternoon you called me
Speaker 3: Pete and he said, have you watched it yet?
Speaker 1: And I said no.
Speaker 4: And that night my wife and I our kids to bed,
Speaker 4: five year old and two years old, and I said,
Speaker 4: I've got to watch Back to the Future.
Speaker 1: And she said, well, I haven't seen it. I didn't
Speaker 1: know that. My wife also hadn't seen Back to the
Speaker 1: Match Made to Heaven.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I said, we'll put it on it coase
Speaker 4: for two hours. Let's I'll watch half an hour half
Speaker 4: tomorrow night.
Speaker 1: Thanks for your commitment to the podcast. Watch it on
Speaker 1: your phone Mechas intended.
Speaker 4: Yeah, split it up, yeah yeah, put it into TikTok
Speaker 4: three minutes and I'll three minute chunks. We'll watch it
Speaker 4: over a few days, watch it on the toilet, still
Speaker 4: in portrait, not even turn the phone. We absolutely loved it. Yes,
Speaker 4: it flew by, Yes, it was unbelievable. Well both how
Speaker 4: nice is this to have not seen this movie until now?
Speaker 4: Loved it start to finish.
Speaker 3: I feel like you gave it a massive rap, then
Speaker 3: you gave it a bit of a sledge. A couple
Speaker 3: of bits quite funny. I mean, come on, there are
Speaker 3: some funny bits to come bits.
Speaker 4: I know, there's some bits that are meant to be funny, yes,
Speaker 4: and then there's some unintentionally hilarious bits.
Speaker 1: Okay, well name one of those to me.
Speaker 4: The cgi of them reappearing on the photo yes, is
Speaker 4: just hilarious. I don't know why we found it so funny,
Speaker 4: and him just got like the worst fading away. You
Speaker 4: can't play guitar.
Speaker 5: They didn't have the special effects to make him disappear
Speaker 5: a bit, so it just had to be bad at guitar. Ah, yeah,
Speaker 5: he's starting to disappear because he's forgotten this.
Speaker 1: But how good How good is.
Speaker 3: That moment when George comes back and kisses Lorraine and
Speaker 3: then he just he's down and he's back up and
Speaker 3: he's playing.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's good movie stuff.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Too quick of a comeback for him.
Speaker 4: I thought, you know, to regain I am alive in
Speaker 4: the future, that would take the same amount of time
Speaker 4: to get your abilities back. But he was straight back
Speaker 4: in playing guitar. If in the different nineteen eighty five
Speaker 4: where the dad's punch has given him CTE.
Speaker 1: He's cool in the original nineteen fifty five that he's like,
Speaker 1: can I help you with that out? Like he's all
Speaker 1: he got concussed, like checked on bit he hit his head.
Speaker 7: Not well?
Speaker 1: Is not well? In the second patterns as well.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we didn't realize at the start that they hadn't
Speaker 4: used different actors to play them in nineteen fifty five.
Speaker 4: They just used makeup, not knowing that four k Ultra
Speaker 4: was going to be in the future. And Biff looks
Speaker 4: like two face. It's all puckery, and it.
Speaker 1: Looks a bit like you know when you're a kid
Speaker 1: and you put like all BBC glue on your hands
Speaker 1: and like make it all pucker up on your fingers
Speaker 1: like that. I think they've just put glue on their faces.
Speaker 1: You just didn't like that. Everyone's like, no, that's not
Speaker 1: what they did. They probably just use.
Speaker 5: It's funny because a different conclusion. I thought everyone was
Speaker 5: sitting there going, yeah, that's exactly what they did. Like
Speaker 5: I felt like that was just yes, that seems like
Speaker 5: an accurate factoid of cinema of eighty five.
Speaker 4: Probably the mom they didn't even age it or they're
Speaker 4: just like imagine if she's allergic.
Speaker 1: To nuts and there's she's just like a bit the
Speaker 1: same person. You can't change it too. But the dad
Speaker 1: looks different. She's taking part of.
Speaker 3: His hair and giving them thin glasses. Until I've done,
Speaker 3: you're gonna play a couple of scenes. Let's have a
Speaker 3: look at when Marty meets his dad for the first
Speaker 3: time in nineteen fifty five. This is Marty meeting George McFly.
Speaker 1: Give me, give me a tab Tah, they can't give
Speaker 1: you a tab lets you order something? They give me
Speaker 1: a pepsi free. You want a pepsi power, you gotta
Speaker 1: pay for it.
Speaker 4: Look, just give me something without any sugar rented.
Speaker 2: Okay, some of that sugar? Ay?
Speaker 1: McFly? What do you think you're doing?
Speaker 2: Hey, I'm talking to you, McFly? You Irish bog?
Speaker 4: Hey there? Hey guys, how.
Speaker 1: Are you doing my homeward finishment?
Speaker 2: Fly?
Speaker 1: Well? Actually I figured since it wasn't due till Monday.
Speaker 2: Hello, Hello, any money home? I think flying?
Speaker 1: I gotta have time to recard, so I mean. The
Speaker 1: framing in these movie is incredible.
Speaker 3: Like Steven fit Spielberg is famous for his framing and
Speaker 3: how good he is, and he's obviously I think looked
Speaker 3: and helped Roberts Americas.
Speaker 1: I think with this good was Michael J.
Speaker 4: Fox.
Speaker 1: Oh he's so good.
Speaker 6: One of my the thing I'm most obsessed with about
Speaker 6: this movie is that it was originally filmed like they
Speaker 6: filmed most of the movie with Eric Stolts Yes, because
Speaker 6: they couldn't get Michael J. Fox, And then they went,
Speaker 6: oh yeah, they filmed like the whole thing, and they
Speaker 6: filmed a bunch of it, and then they were like,
Speaker 6: this isn't working, and then they they re shot it
Speaker 6: all with Michael J.
Speaker 1: Fox regular.
Speaker 5: He was shooting Family Ties at the same time. That
Speaker 5: was his existing contract, and so he was shooting stuff
Speaker 5: at night.
Speaker 1: Yeah, tis in the day and then he shoot this
Speaker 1: at night and be back at work to shoot and exit.
Speaker 6: I think they were on different coasts. Were like he
Speaker 6: was flying, like he was flying all over the shop,
Speaker 6: like I was.
Speaker 1: Away the fly. He had a working DeLorean, That's the
Speaker 1: only way it was possible. No, he was like Hermione.
Speaker 1: He had one of those little necklaces.
Speaker 3: That were so Jamakaus goes to the producers of Family
Speaker 3: Tires and says, we need Michael J. Fox is not
Speaker 3: working out. He finally agrees because backs to Bernie had
Speaker 3: been pregnant, I was pregnant, had come back the set.
Speaker 1: So Michael J.
Speaker 3: Fox was doing a lot of the and he was
Speaker 3: the breakout star Family Tire. So the Family Tires for
Speaker 3: those I haven't seen it, to show about hippie parents
Speaker 3: raising kids and one of them as the Republican Alex
Speaker 3: Peakeaton Michael J. Fox, and it was supposed to be
Speaker 3: really about to parents, and then Michael J. Fox becomes
Speaker 3: a breakout star. So he agreed, but they said, you
Speaker 3: have You're doing both shows. So he was filming Family
Speaker 3: Times during the day, jumping in a camp of van,
Speaker 3: sleeping on the way through the set, and filming Back
Speaker 3: to the Future throughout the night. His first day on
Speaker 3: set is actually the scene in the Twin parker More
Speaker 3: car park when they go back. Eric Stoltz was basically
Speaker 3: taking the whole thing too seriously, sorry, like it was
Speaker 3: It's a wonderful life.
Speaker 1: He was trying to be Jimmy Stewart.
Speaker 6: I would pay so much money to see that version,
Speaker 6: because much money to see Jimmy Stewart do this.
Speaker 3: But Doc, I'm going to the future. So Margaret Fox
Speaker 3: is Crispin Glover. I mean the physicality throughout the every
Speaker 3: performance in this film. Everything, everyone's so physical. Chrispin Glover
Speaker 3: is a freak in this I think he's amazing.
Speaker 1: He's a freaking He's just a freak.
Speaker 6: Is anyone familiar with Crispin Glover's performance art films.
Speaker 1: I'm aware that they exist. Please tell us more.
Speaker 6: Oh, I went to a live screening, like a screening
Speaker 6: of one where he was there and he presented it
Speaker 6: and it was like the worst. And I went to
Speaker 6: art school, so I've seen bad performance art perilments and
Speaker 6: this was one of the worst.
Speaker 1: It was called Clowny Clown Clown. I've seen that, yeah,
Speaker 1: and it was my fourth favorite.
Speaker 6: Was it's just Crispin Glover doing like sort of performance
Speaker 6: poetry going.
Speaker 1: I saw a clown.
Speaker 6: He was walking around clowny clown clown, and then just
Speaker 6: weird shots of like people rolling downstairs and swashing bananas
Speaker 6: into their heads and stuff.
Speaker 1: But he's greating. This is the perfect George McFly.
Speaker 4: I just love how animated he is and brings warm
Speaker 4: just so He's so fun to watch. That's what I
Speaker 4: loved about him.
Speaker 5: His character I think what Nick's trying to say is
Speaker 5: Crispin Glover act good.
Speaker 1: And to one of the best, one of the best
Speaker 1: bullies of all time.
Speaker 5: Biffiff is incredible and also like zero to bully that quickly.
Speaker 5: Like that's some weird archetypical bully stuff that I, as
Speaker 5: a nerdy child encountered more than a few times. But
Speaker 5: there is something about that rendition of us, like that
Speaker 5: is the perfect group of bullies. Like they want to
Speaker 5: beat Marty McFly up and they've known him for thirty seconds.
Speaker 5: It's like they're programmed to do it. They're just a
Speaker 5: loaming town looking for people to punch.
Speaker 1: The henchman with the like this silly glasses. I'm the
Speaker 1: lucky one. I'm the short one, not the one who
Speaker 1: had cross with Arnetts. I like that. Look.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think Billy's angeing all three of them, but
Speaker 3: only has one gets a line. I think in the
Speaker 3: third one, I think I've never actually seen it.
Speaker 1: Good on him, Good on your billies, ain't you really
Speaker 1: go in places? Let me turn that into the phantom.
Speaker 1: Let's have it. Let's have a little bit. Marty meets
Speaker 1: his mother.
Speaker 3: Now in nineteen fifty five, are.
Speaker 5: You they're there now, just relax, you've been asleep for
Speaker 5: almost nine hours.
Speaker 4: Now, will name.
Speaker 2: Jim now back in time?
Speaker 4: Nos, Terri Stephen sound now back in Good All nineteen
Speaker 4: fifty five, excellent, four.
Speaker 3: It's excellent fall Falling Get me harder than it looks. Yeah,
Speaker 3: to do it comedically, not.
Speaker 6: It's sometimes it's easy. Yeah, it's easy when you don't
Speaker 6: mean to.
Speaker 1: But if you mean to, it can be hard. Amazed
Speaker 1: that she's surprised at her mum being home at night.
Speaker 6: I love the implication at the end there that she's
Speaker 6: taken his pants off and no one else knows. Yeah,
Speaker 6: Like she's just gone up there, taken off the pants
Speaker 6: of an unconscious man, tucked him back in and waited
Speaker 6: for him to wake up, but then gone.
Speaker 1: I hope my mother doesn't find out wherever she is
Speaker 1: Sweet nineteen fifty five Hospitality.
Speaker 3: I like if you look in the mirror as well.
Speaker 3: Only noticed that when I watched it this week. She
Speaker 3: actually cops a bit of a look when she's got
Speaker 3: she cops a look.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: She supervised it, not directed not director Lea Thompson Again
Speaker 1: is amazing in this. She's so Caroline in the city. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I recognize her.
Speaker 5: Most of the movie, I would say, like watching it back,
Speaker 5: I was just like every step of it great. So
Speaker 5: often when you watch a movie from childhood, it doesn't
Speaker 5: live up to what you remember, but this does.
Speaker 1: But have to say, put it out there. The sexual
Speaker 1: tension with his mum is really funny.
Speaker 5: Now I'm a little more aware of that being something
Speaker 5: to talk about. You know, you watch it, and I'm
Speaker 5: not saying it's necessarily but it's worthy of conversation. As
Speaker 5: I say, you know, it's better to have that.
Speaker 1: Stuff out in the open and talk about it. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Sorry, And what sort of prude has to travel back
Speaker 4: in time to their stepmom?
Speaker 1: What are you adore?
Speaker 5: Well, you're nerdy enough to build a time machine, so yeah,
Speaker 5: you're probably a.
Speaker 1: Little bit talk now. I know what movies Nick has
Speaker 1: been watching.
Speaker 3: So there's the whole thing about Back to the Future
Speaker 3: where there's one of the criticisms of the film is
Speaker 3: that why don't his parents recognize him down the track
Speaker 3: when Marty's born, when he's at the age when you
Speaker 3: gets him together, why don't they recognize him.
Speaker 1: I've got a bit of a theory, Go Charlie.
Speaker 5: That thought across my mown last night as I was
Speaker 5: watching it, and I thought to myself, they know him
Speaker 5: for about forty eight hours, Am I right?
Speaker 1: Like eight days? About eight days?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, Oh those movies are shorter than real time, gotcha. Now,
Speaker 1: it's amazing when I get this changes at a week.
Speaker 1: He's got a way, doesn't he. Yeah? Yeah, so it's okay,
Speaker 1: So it's a week. Okay. But at the same time,
Speaker 1: I don't think they've got a photo with him. No,
Speaker 1: they're not spending every minute of the every day, you know,
Speaker 1: that's right.
Speaker 5: And so if you think back to someone you knew
Speaker 5: for okay, I'll admit a pretty dramatic week of your life.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you knew someone for a whek.
Speaker 5: Like I remember there was a weird exchange student that
Speaker 5: was kind of at our school for about a week once.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Did they invent skateboarding and Chuck Berry music?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 1: No, the most interesting he was just German. That was
Speaker 1: the interesting part of him.
Speaker 5: The same with Gerald Hartig and just everything the only
Speaker 5: story had was about something in Germany.
Speaker 1: He's like, oh, you're not in Germany. Everyone goes on's
Speaker 1: the auto barn, you know, Like his stories were just
Speaker 1: about Germany. But what I'm saying is, what were you expecting?
Speaker 6: No, he didn't have any stories from Australia. Yeah, wanker,
Speaker 6: where are your tails from Tanzania?
Speaker 5: The reason I bring it up I remember him very clearly,
Speaker 5: could not tell you what his face looks like, Like,
Speaker 5: I don't remember his face if one of.
Speaker 6: Your children grew up and looked exactly like that guy,
Speaker 6: because he wouldn't look like him immediately, Like you grow
Speaker 6: up and then look like that, you might go got
Speaker 6: our kids. Sort of, he looks like that guy. He
Speaker 6: kind of looks like that guy that we yeah, then
Speaker 6: invented chuck Berry music.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And he's got a German accent. Yeah. And he plays
Speaker 1: the guitar and skateboards like that guy invented.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Do you think that's why the mum drinks heavily because
Speaker 1: that she's like, looks.
Speaker 6: Like the guy because she's slowly realizing that she tried
Speaker 6: to fuck her son.
Speaker 2: That is.
Speaker 1: That big vodka?
Speaker 3: Oh, it's huge that bottle just a I can't think
Speaker 3: of many movies where the turning point in the movie
Speaker 3: is based on a mom fucking her son.
Speaker 1: That's what this movie is. Basically.
Speaker 5: It's true and if you look at the movie. There's
Speaker 5: so much pressure on Marty McFly to not change history.
Speaker 5: She's the one out trying to fuck her son. No
Speaker 5: moral culpability on her part at all. It's as much
Speaker 5: her fault as is It is funny when you rewatch it.
Speaker 3: When I think of Back to the Future, I think
Speaker 3: of the bully's kind of being kind of cartoon hey,
Speaker 3: kind of bullies, and then you're watching.
Speaker 1: Go oh, I'm not biff. He is like a rapist.
Speaker 1: He's actually like a rapist. He is a rapist, yeah,
Speaker 1: straight in, no hesitation.
Speaker 7: At a point, he is a rapist. Yeah, but also
Speaker 7: just like so casual about it, going this seed, no
Speaker 7: peep show. Wow, let's let's have a look at the sea.
Speaker 3: Because for the hero moment that George McFly gets out
Speaker 3: of the look, hey, you get.
Speaker 2: Your damn hands off. I think you got the wrong
Speaker 2: Come and fly, George, help me, please.
Speaker 1: Just turn around and fly and walk away? Are you deaf? McFly?
Speaker 2: Close the door and feed it? No bitch, you leave
Speaker 2: her alone?
Speaker 5: All right?
Speaker 1: McFly. You're asking for it and now you're gonna get it.
Speaker 4: Help your give me a hand a raise.
Speaker 2: Man, who's these as that's a lie, you're gonna break
Speaker 2: your arm?
Speaker 1: Leave him alone? What oh? Someone does check on bif
Speaker 1: too many? Check on bif many, way too many? Check yeah,
Speaker 1: no one. No one goes up and says, did he did?
Speaker 1: Are you all right? Do you want to make a
Speaker 1: statement to the police. I've never noticed how many people
Speaker 1: win the biff This stray in there. It was half
Speaker 1: a dozen good punch there from Dad is good.
Speaker 3: You really feel it, don't you. We're not going to
Speaker 3: show any other scenes the final act. I think the
Speaker 3: final act is maybe one of the finest final acts
Speaker 3: in cinema history. I mean, I'd be happy after the
Speaker 3: enchairment under the Sea Dance if it ended there, I'd
Speaker 3: be like, obviously I have some questions, what did he
Speaker 3: get home?
Speaker 1: Blah blah blah.
Speaker 3: But it's a perfect movie up until there, and then this,
Speaker 3: this final moment of him getting back to nineteen eighty
Speaker 3: five comes along, and that's mind blowing as well.
Speaker 5: Because you've got you've got three story strands going yep,
Speaker 5: and it's like the Chairman of the Seed Dance would
Speaker 5: be enough, or getting the lightning to strike the connect,
Speaker 5: you know, like the timing that dramatic scene in the building.
Speaker 1: Of that tension.
Speaker 5: That'd be enough, yep, But stop Doc getting from a
Speaker 5: multi purpose foreign threat, the Libyans, the foreign threat du.
Speaker 3: Jure in the eighties, the bad guys were never American,
Speaker 3: never American.
Speaker 5: It's like they would have been Iranian, but it was
Speaker 5: just a couple of years too late, and Gaddafi was
Speaker 5: getting a bit of action on the table, and Libyans
Speaker 5: look like they're a bit of trouble. Hey, let's make
Speaker 5: it Libyans, right, Who've got a comby in a rocket launcher.
Speaker 5: But to save Doc from the Libyan each of those
Speaker 5: would be enough of a climax in a movie.
Speaker 1: This was like Lord of the Rings, done faster, more entertaining,
Speaker 1: just so many.
Speaker 6: Stories finishing, and then when he gets back the changes
Speaker 6: like the thing. I got a bit emotional went because
Speaker 6: I've forgotten he gets the car.
Speaker 1: Drive at the end. I was like, you got the car, car?
Speaker 5: But also what was weird the experience of seeing the car.
Speaker 5: I remember when I was a kid, that was the
Speaker 5: biggest ute I'd seen in my life. I was like,
Speaker 5: what's with this American monstrosity of a car, And now
Speaker 5: you look at it and that's cute.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but this maybe came out. It was it was
Speaker 1: just so cool. I remember being very cool.
Speaker 3: You remember came out Charlie, Like the skateboarding one of
Speaker 3: the greatest scenes scenes ever. Maybe want to learn how
Speaker 3: to scape, but I never did it have a good
Speaker 3: senate protender of gravity and.
Speaker 7: Peter's alright and having a warment like that was the
Speaker 7: first time seen of a warkman to control cars.
Speaker 1: Like oh, it was all just very cool.
Speaker 5: It was a time of possibility that the technology looked yeah,
Speaker 5: kind of like you could put that together from a radio,
Speaker 5: you know, like nothing was too like Minority Report swiping
Speaker 5: shit in midair like all that.
Speaker 1: It was like, oh, yeah, that's that's what a crazy
Speaker 1: signist might be able to cook up. The eighties was
Speaker 1: like that. It was possible. Yeah, I think because of
Speaker 1: the Russians.
Speaker 5: I don't know that all the Libyans, all the Libyans
Speaker 5: I need at on hard rubbish day.
Speaker 1: And I can't going back to the set exactly right.
Speaker 3: One of the I think the strongest things about this
Speaker 3: film is that you never feel like the exposition, you
Speaker 3: never see it. There's a lot of information in this film,
Speaker 3: but it's always entertaining. You watch the opening sequence that
Speaker 3: opening sequence.
Speaker 1: You learn so much.
Speaker 3: I've actually have come of clocked that so part of
Speaker 3: the punt. So you start with all these clocks, so
Speaker 3: you got to we know that time is going to
Speaker 3: be a theme, that somebody's obsessed with time. There's an
Speaker 3: article on the walls and the mansion. Doc Brown has lost,
Speaker 3: the mansion burned down. Platonium has been stolen. We've learned
Speaker 3: that from the TV newsed by Libyan terrorists. Well, we
Speaker 3: know this guy's an inventor, he's not necessarily a great inventor.
Speaker 3: And he's also that this missing that the coffee, there's
Speaker 3: no coffee mug. When the water comes down, the food,
Speaker 3: the dog food goes in. There's already it's overloading with
Speaker 3: dog food. And then three minutes in, nothing's been said
Speaker 3: yet Marty McFly comes in. We don't even see his
Speaker 3: face for another couple of minutes, but we know he's
Speaker 3: obviously young. He knows dock as he's a key to
Speaker 3: the to the house or the garage, and that he
Speaker 3: loves skateboarding, and he knows the dog named Einstein's obviously friends.
Speaker 3: But we can discuss how creepy it is that he's
Speaker 3: two friends. But at some point, by the way, and
Speaker 3: the doc has the plutonium. It's under the bare the
Speaker 3: skateboards come the tracks along.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that shot that goes across with the skateboard to
Speaker 6: the platonium.
Speaker 1: It's just so beautifully done. Any great scientist, he's got
Speaker 1: a massive guitar ramp. He guess at that point you go,
Speaker 1: this is just okay, this is just cool now.
Speaker 3: But it's telling us that he's a musician if he's
Speaker 3: gonna come and he likes loud music, so that's going
Speaker 3: to come in handy.
Speaker 1: Everything's there for a reason.
Speaker 5: And then the moment with the guy at school, the
Speaker 5: headmaster or whatever, Yeah, Strickland Strickland, and Martin mply says
Speaker 5: to him, the history is going to change.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's just going, oh yeah, history is gonna shore. Right.
Speaker 5: It's just a cool moment. Everything's laid up and everything
Speaker 5: pays off. It's so beautifully done. Absolutely, I think they
Speaker 5: put a lot of thought into it.
Speaker 1: I think they did. Was rejected forty four times, Are
Speaker 1: you serious? That's right. Yeah.
Speaker 3: There was an executive called Sid Sheinenberg who kind of
Speaker 3: stood in the way a little bit. He had some
Speaker 3: ideas he wanted to rename the movie Spaceman from Pluto.
Speaker 1: Yeah, which was also Chrispin Gloverer art pro Jets at
Speaker 1: one point. Oh yeah, I saw that at art school. Yeah.
Speaker 3: It was based on when Marty scares George by saying
Speaker 3: his Darth Vader from the planet Vulcan. He wanted them
Speaker 3: to change and say I'm a Spaceman from Pluto, and
Speaker 3: that was going to be the name of the movie.
Speaker 3: So Steven Spielberg, they were like, we're not changing the name.
Speaker 1: The name's great.
Speaker 3: So Steven Spielberg replied basically saying, hey, Sid, we got
Speaker 3: your note. Very funny, mate, We are cracking ourselves laughing
Speaker 3: over here. Keep the jokes coming. And he went, okay,
Speaker 3: it was a joke. It was a joke, And so
Speaker 3: they kept the name. Back to the future. In the
Speaker 3: original there's so many in the original scripts like the
Speaker 3: dog was an ape. It's one good thing since Schineberg said,
Speaker 3: he said, it can't be an ape. No movie has
Speaker 3: ever succeeded with an ape. And they said, what about
Speaker 3: the Clinicewood movie, And they said, it's a.
Speaker 1: Check mate. So we got a dog. I was going
Speaker 1: to say, Dunstan checks in. That's an orangutang too. Yeah. Also,
Speaker 1: I believe Kong did some business, did a bit of business. Well,
Speaker 1: he's a gorilla. It's gorilla. Yeah, there's a gorilla name. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I guess I guess he is. Yeah, but he's not real,
Speaker 1: is he?
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, but could I want to play one
Speaker 1: more clip? And this is the clip again?
Speaker 4: That just it's there's lots of stuff happening here, but
Speaker 4: it never feels like it's forced down your throat. This
Speaker 4: is when we learn about the lightning strike the bell tower.
Speaker 4: This is saving the bell tower. Does your mom know
Speaker 4: about Tomorrow night, get out of town?
Speaker 1: My mom thinks of God Campbell with the guys.
Speaker 4: Well, Jennifer, my mother would freak out if she knew
Speaker 4: I was going up there with you.
Speaker 1: When I get the standard lecture about how she never
Speaker 1: did that kind of stuff when she was a kid.
Speaker 1: I mean, look, I think the one was born and none.
Speaker 1: She's just trying to keep you respects. The clock tower
Speaker 1: saves the clock tower.
Speaker 4: Mel Wilson is sponsoring an initiative to replace that clock.
Speaker 4: Thirty years ago lik being struck that clock tower, and
Speaker 4: the clock hasn't run since we at the hill.
Speaker 1: Valley Preservation Society.
Speaker 6: Think it should be preserved exactly the way it is
Speaker 6: as part of our history inheritage.
Speaker 1: I'll call you tonight, I'll be my Grandma's here. Let
Speaker 1: me give you the number.
Speaker 3: But it's so brilliant because I mean, he leaves me
Speaker 3: throw out that that's a thing that gets you back
Speaker 3: to the future at the end of the movie.
Speaker 1: Thatthing that is the power of love. That is the
Speaker 1: power of love. That is and that's the lesson thank
Speaker 1: you for joining us today. Also what a sexy line
Speaker 1: before she goes I'll be at my Grandma's. Yeah.
Speaker 5: The other thing, obviously, they're the presence of Huey Lewis
Speaker 5: and the news Power of Love, which was the biggest.
Speaker 1: Song of that year. It was unbelieving.
Speaker 5: Huey Lewis lovely cameo in the movie is the guy
Speaker 5: auditioning the bands for the for the ants. But that
Speaker 5: what I also remember very clearly from seeing it at
Speaker 5: the cinema was at the movie ends and they go
Speaker 5: to credits and they go hard to Power of Love
Speaker 5: again at the end of the movie, right, And it's
Speaker 5: amazing and it has such an impact because the song
Speaker 5: is so good and the credits hit and you know
Speaker 5: it's the end of the movie. And I since then,
Speaker 5: I've always thought all movies should end just cutting to credits.
Speaker 1: Power of Love.
Speaker 4: After that scene where he gets rejected from Battle of
Speaker 4: the Bands and he's only pretty much just kicked off,
Speaker 4: he's walking with his girlfriend and she's comforting him, saying, Hey,
Speaker 4: it's all right, Marty, it's all right. You know there's
Speaker 4: another chances you'll be fine. This is how Marty goes
Speaker 4: with that situation.
Speaker 1: Reelect or Goldy Wilson.
Speaker 2: Progress is middle name full out. You're never gonna get
Speaker 2: a chance to play it, frontay all mighty one. Injection
Speaker 2: is at the end of the world.
Speaker 1: Now, I just don't think I'm cut out from music.
Speaker 1: But you're good, Marty, You're really good. And this audition
Speaker 1: tape of yours is great.
Speaker 2: You've got to send it into the record company.
Speaker 1: It's like doctor Yeah, I know, I know, if.
Speaker 4: You put your mind to it, you can accomplish any.
Speaker 1: That's good advice, Marty. All right, okay, Jennifer, What what
Speaker 1: if I send in the teap and they don't like it?
Speaker 1: I mean, what if they say I'm not good?
Speaker 2: What if they say get out of your kid, You've
Speaker 2: got no future.
Speaker 1: I mean, I just don't think I can take that
Speaker 1: kind of rejection.
Speaker 4: I'm obsessed with that scene. He's failed. She's trying to
Speaker 4: pump his ties up. He purves are two asses and
Speaker 4: she's like, oh, Marty, shaky dog that in twenty twenty four,
Speaker 4: you're getting a slap and it's fucking game over.
Speaker 1: What a time.
Speaker 3: I didn't say anything. If you want any clips, let
Speaker 3: me know. I was very surprised that was the one
Speaker 3: you came back with my.
Speaker 4: Wife and I lost it. She's trying to help him
Speaker 4: out and it's not even as subtle. He's got Sonny's
Speaker 4: on and it's a quick sideways glance. He's like, oh,
Speaker 4: a couple of asses over here.
Speaker 1: Sorry, wait for a saying about I'll have more chances. Okay?
Speaker 3: Nick, who was who told Marty during the Pinheads audition
Speaker 3: this has been mentioned in the show already today that
Speaker 3: their music was just too damn loud.
Speaker 1: Huey Lewis.
Speaker 3: Huey Lewis is correct, Nick Currdy on the board where

Speaker 5: Crack. You know. It was weird though, I don't know
Speaker 5: if you noticed. It was like three Back to Future.
Speaker 5: Three was the one that Charil ten would play like
Speaker 5: once a month. It was obviously much cheaper than one
Speaker 5: or two.
Speaker 3: Well Channel Tenner's famously, I'm afraid they still do it,
Speaker 3: but when the election would be on the federal election,
Speaker 3: they wouldn't do an election coverage. They would like play
Speaker 3: an Adam Sandler movie and it would always win because
Speaker 3: not everyone wants to watch an election. Yeah, you know,
