Back to the Futures (episode 63)

About this episode

The episode revisits classic time travel movies, focusing on the Back to the Future series and including discussions on other films like Primer and Peggy Sue Got Married.

This time on Science Fiction 101 , we take some trips down memory lane to revisit classic time travel movies. We mostly focus on the Back to the Future series, but also a couple of wildcards: Primer (2004, Colin's pick) and Peggy Sue Got Married (1986, Phil's pick). We also have a listener quiz, and our usual round-up of recommended SF past, present and future.
