Overview

Marty and Doc are at it again as the time-traveling duo head to 2015 to nip some McFly family woes in the bud. But things go awry thanks to bully Biff Tannen and a pesky sports almanac. In a last-ditch attempt to set things straight, Marty finds himself bound for 1955 and face to face with his teenage parents -- again.

This week we're back from rejuvenation clinic in an effort to look younger on this, our first birthday.  Join us as we head to Hill Valley in 2015 in search of Pepsi Perfect, self lacing Nikes and our very own hoverboard.  Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting crew – Ian, Liam, Ellie, Georgia - and Ethan from Talking The Mickey – as we travel all over the prime and alternate timelines in search of cinematic glory.  It's a celebration of a 59th episode as we hear from 21 of our fledgling fandom through audio birthday wishes.  Also, we discuss:

  • Why Jennifer had to be recast and we ask why the boys are so terrible to her
  • Which of the 2015 predictions made did we really wish had come true
  • Ian explains some faults in the time travel logic that make our brain hurt
  • How great Thomas F. Wilson is in this film
  • The specifics of the Crispin Glover lawsuit
  • Where Robert Zemeckis got the cars for Hill Valley 2015
  • How much a Pepsi Perfect will cost you today
  • Whether or not Back To The Future Part II is the Best Film Ever
