About this episode

The episode reflects on the impact of 'Back To The Future' 40 years after its release and imagines a modern retelling with a Gen Z protagonist.

It’s been 40 years since “Back To The Future” was released and we’re still talking about it. We’ll do a rundown of the story, why it worked, and what if it were made today and a young Gen Z Marty from 2025 went back to 1985.
