Back To The Future (1985)
Added 2025-11-17 12:16:16 +0000 UTCYour kids are gonna love it...
Back To The Future! Our 1985 season begins in earnest this week with Dave's pick of the year, Robert Zemeckis' layered, heartfelt time-travelling adventure (although do go and listen to our Goonies bonus episode if you can...)
BTTF is a perfect fit with several films the pod has already absorbed, a "Spielberg-ing" of early 1980s life that like ET (and The Goonies) presents a world beset by adult problems to which only children have the answers. Dense with physical gags and cultural references, and tightly plotted around its time travel premise, we are in the presence of another absolute classic.

If you want something good that's along the same lines as the one second in the future thing then check out Beyond the Infinite Two Minutes
