June the 4th be with you! See, I knew it would work every month. Anyway, that has nothing to do with today's movie. Today - well this morning and this evening I watched my first non sequel of the month, but still something that was based on something else. Nothing original yet! I'm sure we'll get to something wholly original at some point. At some point. But not today, today I watched...

Happy Tuesday movie nerds! Want to hear something crazy? Literally ten years ago today, I went to see Mad Max: Fury Road in the theater for my 2015 Movie Month (back when it was only a blog.) I did not plan that at all - it was just dumb luck that it worked out this way. And now, a decade later I see the follow-up prequel giving us the backstory to the best character in Fury Road, Furiosa. This mo...

Daaaaay Two! It's day two, it's day two, it's day twoooo. Day two of twelfth movie month. And yes I use that same joke in the podcast. Welcome back movie nerds! Today's movie was always planned to be day one of this year - until Ethan Hunt took a mission that timed with a June 1st that happened to be on a weekend. So the sequel to Beetlejuice had to wait a day. Hell, we waited thir...

Movie Month is back!!!! Happy June everybody! Today I officially start my 30 day adventure of watching 30 movies and recording 30 podcasts - but in truth, I've been prepping for the past week as I've spent the last seven days rewatching all of the Mission: Impossible movies to be ready for today. And am I glad I did! I love these movies and I am starting to think this is my favorite overal...

We did it, McFriends. Another Marchy McFly successfully in the books. In this episode, we finish out Back to the Future - a perfect movie with an amazing ending. I want to thank my friends Eric and Jason for coming on the show again! Thanks to my wife for putting up for me this month, even though I got you sick! Love you! And thanks everyone who listened to the show and everyone who I interacted w...

Today was a loooong day. I talk about most of it before I actually get discussing today's block of Back to the Future, so buckle up for an adventure! In today's segment, Marty finds out that Doc did in fact read the letter, which allowed him to survive (or at least plan to survive - you never know.) We then find out Doc is heading 30 years into the future, and when Marty wakes up the next...

It’s Saturday Night! The last Saturday of the month – And the last day of Marchy McFly in 1955. We’re finally back to the 80s with Marty, Eric Clapton, Red the bum, porn shops and a new mall name! I also talk about how I’m still not feeling great even though my voice sounds a little better. Kind’ve. I talk about how I did the episode yesterday because I had plans last night. Part of those plans le...

Good morning, McFriends! If you thought my voice sounded bad last night, get ready to think that my show was taken over today by the 7-Up Guy ! Alas, I feel mostly fine - but I sound like trash. Does that stop me from putting out a podcast? Great Scott, no! Today's segment is 95% without dialogue, but I go off on a few tangents, as I usually do - and I end up talking way more than I planned. B...

Hello Future Boys and Girls! Today was filled with some of my favorite things! A Red Sox opening day victory, helping out at an event all about books and reading , and talking about Back to the Future! We're still in 1955 for a couple days, but unfortunately Doc discovered the letter that Marty put so much work into. Emmett ripped it up right in front of his face. I bet Lou would be pissed to...

HAPPY WEDNESDAY MARCHY McFRIENDS! Today I had a blast recording an episode with my long time friend and frequent guest of the show, Jason ! And of course, we stick strictly to Back to the Future talk and don't go off the rails and on a tangent right at the beginning....Or am I just being clever to get you to listen? Did it work?

October 12, 1955 - the day that Marty McFly saved his life. The day he saved his brother and sister's lives. The day Marty McFly saved his parents marriage. The day he invented rock and roll. Big day for Marty, and while it's not over yet - in today's episode, I talk mostly about Johnny B. Goode since that takes up 90% of today's segment. I listen to the original Chuck Berry 1958 v...

"Earth Angels...Earth Angels. The ones I adore....Talking Back to the Future to you one week more. After today - We only have 7 days left...." Yes, please don't read that without singing it out loud. Happy Monday Marchy McFriends! Tonight we see George go full his full mutation from zero to hero. We see Marty almost disappear. We see Biff most likely concussed, and we talk about some P...

Happy Sunday you reefer addicts (that makes sense when you listen, I swear - and I do swear.) Today's segment of Back to the Future is a huge one! We see the exact moment where Lorraine never looks at Marty the same again and I think the exact moment where Lorraine will never look at George the same either. Whether Biff will ever change his thoughts on George remains to be seen. We also talk a...

Happy Saturday, party animals! Yesterday was a big day in my life. We celebrated my wife's 50th birthday party - and everything went perfectly - AND frequent podcast guest (and party guest) Eric sent me an awesome pin that I mentioned in an earlier episode! Thank you Eric! Oh and in this episode, I sing a little more, we see and hear Marty write a letter, we discuss a deleted scene where we le...

Dammit, yes swear! And I swear that today is NOT the last Friday of Marchy McFly. I also told you that today was going to be an early one - since tonight we are partying to celebrate a milestone birthday for my wife. And just like us, this segment ends with Marty getting ready to go to a party of his own - where he is planning on shenanigans taking place. It seems like that is the only plan that w...

Happy Thursday McFriends! Ooh, did I just come up with a name for all you loyal listeners? Or maybe I've used it before - who can remember? Today I once again cut the segment to have an extra second - but unlike yesterday (even with that extra segment) this one has a memorable moment, but it also slows things down and gives us time to breathe. Unless your Lorraine, then you can barely catch yo...

Happy Wednesday Future Friends! I had quite an ordeal today with the podcast feed disappearing, but nothing is going to stop Marchy McFly! If I say I'm going to be back today with a show - then golly, I'm gonna be back today with a show! New feed. New podcast host - hopefully you still find it! Today we get the greaaaat chase scene, we have a wonderful moment of George doing his best to wo...

Happy Tuesday Everybody! Today is a long one as we focus on a few things in George McFly's bedroom, talk about where that Edward Van Halen music actually came from, AND talk about how the Darth Vader scene was originally much longer and much more criminal. A big thank you to whoever decided to edit most of that out!

Happy St. Patrick’s Day you Irish bugs! Today is a short one because of…well I talk about it on this episode. Don’t want to spoil the fun. Today I talk about Marty  finally  realizing that his mother has a crush on him, and what he must do in order for his parents to connect and for him not to – you know, never exist. That  and  Marty gets on Biff’s radar for all the wrong reasons. Oh and Biff is...

It’s Sunday March 16th – do you realize what this means!? It means that at the exact halfway point of this episode we are actually half way done  Marchy McFive ! It’s crazy when I think of the all the anticipation I have before doing these month long events, and then I reach a point where I’m like – wow I’ve been doing this every and and…oh I still have 25 days to go! Well not anymore I don’t. Aft...

Live from Marchy McFly! Wait, I used that joke last week . Um, oh jeez and I guess I used it two years ago as well . But look when you have such an original, tried and true classic joke like that - you milk it for all its worth. So, without further adieu - IT'S SATURDAY NIGHT! AGAIN! Today, Doc finally believes Marty, finally invents something that works, and can't believe how much power t...

Happy Friday Time Bandits! Today we say goodbye forever to the Baines family (don't worry, Horny Lorraine will be back) and say hello for the first time to the 1955 version of Doc Brown. I wouldn't call him Horny Doc Brown - you don't see that until Back to the Future Part III. Marty gets his big chance to tell Doc who he is, where he's from, and that he needs his help! However, Do...

I am trying to think if I ever wore purple underwear before. Probably yes, but I am 100% positive I've never worn Calvin Klein ANYTHING before. If I went back in time and my hot-to-trot young mother started calling me by the name on my tighty-whities, she'd be very confused as to why my name was "Caldor." Luckily that has yet to happen. But today, it happened for Marty in another c...

And on the 12th day, Mikey reaches out and uses the extra second in this segment (yes he accidentally cut it to be 3 minutes and 36 seconds) to bring on an extra voice. Good friend Eric returns to talk about today's segment which includes Goldie Wilson being inspired to become mayor, George McFly, being inspired to peep into windows, and Marty being inspired to save his dad from being mowed do...

Happy Tuesday McNerds! Today's episode we meet young Biff, young George, we get some jokes about sodas that haven't aged well - and I talk way more about music than I was planning to.
