In 1985, Robert Zemeckis co-wrote and directed Back to the Future, a movie that showed us that an old man hanging out with a high school boy doesn’t have to be creepy, especially when that boy’s mother tries to have sex with him. Made for around $19 Mil, Back to the Future grossed nearly $400 Mil worldwide, and two sequels later, this franchise grossed around $1 Bil in adjusted dollars. Not bad for a movie that saw over 30 script rewrites. But does it hold up? Listen as Jon, Colin and Paul go back in time and see if this movie is still able to harness 1.21 Jigawatts of electricity and power the flux capacitors of our brains, or if it runs out of juice and leaves us covered in manure like a couple of buttheads.
