I also don’t remember the first 20 minutes of this movie. I had no idea Marty goes to an audition to play for the school dance. Huey Lewis is in this movie?! He’s in a band called the Pinheads?! All news to me.
It sounds like Back to the Future does the same thing Speed does because the last time I watched that movie I was shocked how long it took to get to the bus!
Will definitely be running to my copy of Shit Actually to revisit the Back to the Future 2 review.
I can find almost no proof of this on the internet, but Thomas F. Wilson is a Catholic (I found proof of this) and you can hire him to motivational speak to your Catholic teenagers (no proof of this, only my lived experience).
Also I really vicariously experienced your pain at the embossing machine incident. That wasn’t fair! Why were small children left alone in a place of adult learning?
Okay, I have never seen this movie (I am the correct demographic, but I pretty much missed most '80s pop cultural touchstones because I just...wasn't interested, and apparently have continued to be uninterested). I haven't even read this whole thing yet, but just got to the part where the Libyans (WTF?) show up and had to say...EINSTEIN IS A DOG????? I was picturing, like...a dummy/sculpture or something. (At first I actually thought you were talking about Christopher Lloyd not "eating his slop".) Reading it knowing it's about a dog (is it? I assume since you did Scooby-speak.) makes...well, at least more sense about this one thing.
THIS ANNOYED ME SO MUCH when I watched the movie again with my kid a few years ago. Chuck Berry was just sitting around waiting for some vanilla douchebro from the 1980s to teach him his own song? GTFO
Another amazing Butt News entry. I watched this movie so much as a kid, but I never knew that the question song existed, and I’ve now watched it 10 times. Justice For It INDEED.
First of all, this was incredible. You are a delight and we don't deserve you or your writing. Thank you. Second. There is a lot about the time travel logic of Back to the Future that doesn't make any sense. We all just suspend our disbelief and try not to think about it too hard because what a great movie BUT I saw your instagram caption asking why Marty and Doc are friends, which is something that always bothered me too...until my husband and I re-watched the trilogy recently and realized they're friends because their relationship exists in a loop. They're friends because they were never not friends. Their relationship doesn't have a beginning.

Thank you for sharing the masterpiece that is the question song. It is a travesty that it's not constantly playing on the radio. #justicefortomwilson
That Mt Dew line fuckin killlllled me, god this was good.

This was so funny and great and I laughed all the way through, but for some reason the giantest honking lol was ‘Marvin Man’

This was incredible—the line about seeing Tay Zonday at Biff’s casino made me cackle and simultaneously took me back to 2007 and forward to 2037

As a lifelong MJF fan, this is the funniest thing I have ever read. A+++ no notes.

What's with the slam of Boston? Cripes-- dissing paid subscribers...
