It's time for one of those huge episodes.

Step into the DeLorean with hosts Krissy Lenz and Nathan Blackwell as they revisit the mind-bending 1989 sequel Back to the Future Part II. This zany time-traveling adventure pushes Marty McFly and Doc Brown to their limits as they navigate multiple timelines, alternate realities, and a dystopian version of Hill Valley ruled by the villainous Biff Tannen.The hosts dive deep into how Back to the Future Part II differs from its predecessor, noting its darker tone and more complex narrative structure. They explore how the film effectively splits into three distinct sections: the retro-futuristic 2015 sequence, the nightmarish alternate 1985, and the return to 1955 that cleverly interweaves with events from the first film. Nathan shares his initial disappointment with the sequel upon its 1989 release, while Krissy maintains her longtime love for its imaginative storytelling.Special praise is given to the performances, particularly Thomas F. Wilson's versatility in playing multiple versions of Biff Tannen and Lea Thompson's range as various incarnations of Lorraine. The hosts also discuss how the film introduced many viewers to concepts like the multiverse and alternate timelines through Doc Brown's simple yet effective explanation of the space-time continuum.Other topics covered:The film's prescient portrayal of Biff as a Trump-like figure in the alternate 1985The extensive merchandising campaign, including Pizza Hut's promotional sunglassesChristopher Lloyd's ageless performance as Doc BrownHow the film serves as part one of a larger story concluding in Back to the Future Part IIIThe practical effects and set design used to transform Hill Valley across different time periodsThe controversial addition of Marty's "chicken" character flawThe enduring appeal of the film's retro-futuristic 2015 aestheticThe Universal Studios clock tower set and its various iterationsWhile rating the film, Nathan gives it a 7.5 out of 10 sports almanacs, noting how his appreciation has grown over time, while Krissy awards it a solid 9, placing it just below the perfect 10s she gives to parts one and three. The hosts conclude that while Part II may be the most divisive entry in the trilogy, its ambitious storytelling and creative world-building have helped it age into a unique and essential chapter in the Back to the Future saga. --We couldn't do this without your support of The Most Excellent 80s Movies Podcast!

It's a pivotal tool that allows the organization to maintain secrecy and adds a humorous element to the plot whenever it's deployed.The Hoverboard - "Back to the Future Part II" (1989) - Another invention from the Back to the Future franchise, the hoverboard has captivated audiences and inspired real-world technology developers with its cool, futuristic appeal and the fun it adds to the movie's action sequences.Iron Man's Suit - "Iron Man" Series - Tony Stark's Iron Man suit is a marvel of movie technology, blending incredible defensive capabilities and firepower with sleek aesthetics.

With no experience, a limited budget, and used car parts, they build an underwater robot that must compete against reigning champions from prestigious colleges at a national robotics contest. The film is inspirational, highlighting themes of perseverance, ingenuity, and teamwork.Sharkey and George, the crime busters of the sea, is an animated series that taps into the charm of underwater adventures and inventive detective work.

Late Nights at Blockbuster Back to the Future Part II Novikov November continues as we hop back into the Delorean with Doc and Marty to head to the future…then back to the present….but it's the wrong present….so we go back to the past….to make it the right present….but it's all okay because we get hoverboards out of the whole deal, so it's completely worth it and not confusing at all.

Great Scott, it's been 35 years since the second instalment in one of the most beloved trilogies of all time – Back To The Future Part II, directed by the great Robert Zemeckis and co-written by our guest today, Bob Gale! Bob first guested on Script Apart in 2021, breaking down his first draft of 1985's iconic debut outing for Marty McFly and eccentric scientist Doc Brown. You may remember that episode detailing how Bob's original vision for that film was quite wildly different – Doc Brown had a pet chimp and the movie featured a huge nuclear explosion. Part II similarly went through multiple iterations, with the film initially expected to include a third act set in the 1960s. Instead, Bob landed on a story full of darkness that broke from the optimism of the first film to depict a dark future – one that in many ways, we've actually come to inherit. In the conversation you're about to hear, you'll discover what drew Bob to that darkness, the secret to Back To The Future's longevity and which of Part II's predictions he's surprised have come to pass in real life. Thanks to Bob for being a brilliant guest once again. Script Apart is hosted by Al Horner and produced by Kamil Dymek.

We don't need a Sports Almanac or a hoverboard to unravel the complex timelines in BACK TO THE FUTURE PART II, but we do need returning guest Andrew McNally. It's the sequel, listeners - something's got to be done about the sequel!

This week, Miroslav is joined by Bleacher Report's Dan Favale, the host of the Hardwood Knocks podcast, to check on Dan's stock of Denver Nuggets, one week before the playoffs start. He is also talking about the biggest surprises to him on the Nuggets roster, and his biggest concern for the playoffs. After that, Miroslav and Dan take a page out of future Sports Almanach, like in Back to the Future Part II, and deliver a flawless prediction on how the playoffs will unravel.

It’s time again. Time! To go forward in time, then backward—or is it sideways?—in time, then further back in time, and then maybe even further back in time. It’s time for the bland future of 2015, the apocalyptic alt-present of 1985, and a familiar 1955. But most of all, it’s time for a Crisis on Infinite Biffs. It’s “Back to the Future Part II.” Jason Snell with John Siracusa, Dan Moren, Brian Warren and Shelly Brisbin.

He was the voice of Mayor Domino in Final Fantasy VII Remake. He was the voice of, okay we could just keep going but then we'd never get to the interview. He has been in a lot. He also happens to now be the author of Vocal Recall A Life in Radio and Voiceovers, a book you should absolutely read.OSMnotesWe want to thank Neil once again for taking the time to chat with us!

Today we're getting into the festive spirit and talking about one of the most beloved Christmas movies, It's a Wonderful Life. We cover everything including the banking loans, the crappy colorized version, what that fake snow really was, and also we make several misguided allusions to Back to the Future Part II. Also, why we hate spoiled food. (Recorded December 17th, 2023.)

“Wait a minute, Doc. Are you telling me you build a Time Machine… out of a DeLorean?” Can you believe that we are 8 years past the future in “Back to the Future Part II”?! That's right. Marty and Doc went to October 21, 2015. Heavy, right?Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale got FaceTime and flat-screen TVs right. But we still don't have flying cars or hoverboards. Or do we?This week, we welcome back Geek Girl Amelia as we discuss her Favorite Films of All Time: “Back to the Future.” We watched a couple of “documentaries” about the “Back to the Future” trilogy. First up, the real documentary: “Back in Time. This is an excellent look at the cultural impact of the “Back to the Future” trilogy in pop culture. This feature film came out in 2015 for the 30th anniversary of the original film—and in the future year that Doc and Marty went to. The other “doc” we watched was “Expedition: Back to the Future.” Not really a documentary, this was a set-up with Josh Gates and Christopher Lloyd who are tasked with finding the iconic DeLeorean Time Machine to deliver to The Michael J. Fox Foundation for a fundraiser. Totally contrived but still cute. And we do get a glimpse at the amazing collection of father-son BTTF aficionados Bill Shea and Patrick Shea. If you can imagine it, they have collected it… and then some!Finally, Amelia shares with us some of the fabulous array of BTTF memorabilia that she has collected over the years. And, yes, she can indeed quote the dialogue verbatim!Always remember: “The Future isn't written. It can be changed.”-Original music by Garrett ThompsonFollow us on Instagram @GeekGirlSoupContinue the conversation on FacebookListen to Cort's podcast with Brad at PureFandom.comCheck out Susan's movie stats on Letterboxd Email your questions and comments to GeekGirlSoup@gmail.comGeek on!

The Dames talk older films set in the future...that is now the past! It makes sense when you hear it. This week we cover the iconic 2001: A Space Odyssey, the neon-tinted recent past of Back to the Future Part II, and dire environmental predictions in Soylent Green.

I'd passed through six other ski areas en route – all were partially open, stapled together, passable but clearly struggling. Then this:After three days of melt-out tiptoe, I was not prepared for what I found at gut-renovated Timberline. And what I found was 1,000 vertical feet of the best version of warm-weather skiing I've ever seen. Other than the trail footprint, this is a brand-new ski area. When the Perfect Family – who run Perfect North, Indiana like some sort of military operation – bought the joint in 2020, they tore out the lifts, put in a brand-new six-pack and carpet-loaded quad, installed all-new snowmaking, and gut-renovated the lodge. It is remarkable. Stunning. Not a hole in the snowpack. Coming down the mountain from Davis, you can see Timberline across the valley beside state-run Canaan Valley ski area – the former striped in white, the latter mostly barren.I skied four fast laps off the summit before the sixer shut at 4:30. Then a dozen runs off the quad. The skier level is comically terrible, beginners sprawled all over the unload, all over the green trails. But the energy is level 100 amped, and everyone I talked to raved about the transformation under the new owners. I hope the Perfect family buys 50 more ski areas – their template works.Perfect North is one of the most incredible ski areas in the country, a machine that proves skiing can thrive in marginal conditions. Timberline is Exhibit B, demonstrating that an operating model built on aggressive snowmaking and constant investment can scale.Which seems obvious, right? We're not exactly trying to decipher grandma's secret meatloaf recipe here. But it's not so easy. Vail Resorts has barely kept Paoli Peaks – Indiana's only other ski area – open two dozen days each of the past two seasons (Perfect North hit 86 days for the 2022-23 winter and 81 in 2021-22). And Canaan Valley, next door to Timberline, is like that house with uncut grass and dogs pooping all over the yard. Surely they're aware of a lawnmower. And yet.Skiers, everywhere, want very simple things: snow to ski on, a reliable product, consistency. That can be hard to deliver in an unpredictable world. But while their competitors make excuses, Timberline and Perfect North make snow.What we talked aboutSnowmaking, snowmaking, snowmaking; applying an Indiana operating philosophy to the Appalachian wilds; changing consumer expectations; 36 inches of snow in May and why the ski area didn't open when the storm hit; night skiing returns; when you fall in love with an uncomfortable thing; leaving Utah for Indiana; The Perfect family and Perfect North Slopes; fire in Ohio; what happened when Perfect North bought Timberline; a brief history of Timberline and why it failed; why this time is different; Mid-Atlantic and West Virginia ski culture; “you bought a ski area with no chairlifts”; why Timberline installed a six-pack to the summit to replace two old top-to-bottom triples; deciding on a fixed-grip quad for a mid-mountain lift; coming tweaks to smooth out unloading; why Timberline moved the beginner area over toward the lodge; whether we could see a mountain-top beginner area; the surprising trail that was a major factor in the decision to purchase Timberline; big plans for the terrain park, including a surface lift; how the trail footprint evolved from one ownership group to the next; trail map as marketing tool versus functional tool; expanding the glade network; potential trail expansion; considering a second summit lift for Timberline; a spectacular lodge renovation; adding up the investment; assessing local and destination support three seasons into the comeback; growing Timberline into more of a Southeast-style resort a-la Snowshoe or Wintergreen; reception so far for the “Perfect Pass” combo pass with Perfect North; the Indy Pass; and Timberline's unique day-ticket price structure.    Why I thought that now was a good time for this interviewThis has been one of my most-requested interviews since the Perfects bought the place back in 2019. The splash and kazam of Timberline's renovation inspired awe and jealousy among skiers, who couldn't believe how easy the new owners made it all look and resent the 60-year-old Hall doubles spinning at their local. Despite the fact that It's three-decades-old technology, a high-speed six-pack still stirs up a thrill in most skiers, an emblem of prosperity and seriousness, amplified by the fact that some of America's wealthiest resorts – Jackson Hole, Deer Valley, Aspen Mountain and Highlands, Beaver Creek, Alta, Snowbird – still don't have a single sixer between them.Which, OK, great. Throw a $20 million renovation at a trailer park, and it will start to resemble Beverly Hills. But do you want to live there? That's what I needed to figure out: was Timberline a flashy gamble for an out-of-its-league Midwest operator, or proof-of-concept for an industry that needs to fortify itself for life in a different sort of world than most of its ski areas were born into?Obviously, I think it's the latter. But it's hard to explain. Most skiers outside of the region refuse to take Mid-Atlantic skiing seriously. But it's time to start paying closer attention. There are some seriously talented operators in Appalachia. Wintergreen, Virginia just finished a season with exactly zero inches of natural snowfall. Massanutten, Virginia and Wisp, Maryland both opened in November despite temperatures in the 70s for most of the month. The climate catastrophes that loom over skiing's future are the realities that Mid-Atlantic ski areas just spent three decades adapting to.Timberline had the advantage of starting over with all of its institutional knowledge, the hard lessons of the region's recent past, and the low-energy, high-impact technology of the current moment. It's a powerful combination, and one that has made Timberline a showcase for what a ski area of the 2020s can be. With three seasons of operations behind it, it was time to check in and ask how well all that was working.What I got wrongI said that Perfect North had 200 snowguns. The actual number, according to this SMI case study, is 245.I stated that the vertical drop of the now-removed lower-mountain beginner chairlift was “a couple hundred vertical feet maybe.” It was 90 feet, according to Lift Blog.Why you should ski TimberlineTimberline has one thing that its competitors don't: legit, border-to-border terrain. As Price tells me in our interview, there are “probably 100” trails on the mountain when it snows, which it does more in this pocket of high-altitude West Virginia than anywhere else in the region. Most Mid-Atlantic ski areas are all-seasons resorts with ski areas attached. Timberline, however, is more ski than resort. It's a badass little mountain, with a thousand vertical feet of expansive, imaginative lines. That makes Timberline an indispensable character in the regional ski cast, the sort of bruiser that any ski state needs as a foil to its more manicured neighbors (think Mount Bohemia, Michigan; Berkshire East, Massachusetts; Plattekill, New York; Magic Mountain, Vermont; Wildcat, New Hampshire). Yes, parks are important. Grooming is essential. But so is tree-skiing. So is opening up the wide and wild world off-piste. This is what keeps skiing interesting, and what sends locals out into the wider world, north and west, to explore the vastness of it all.Podcast NotesOn Perfect NorthThe other day, my family watched Back to the Future Part II. My daughter hadn't been with us when we'd watched part one a few days prior, and so she was a little confused. Similarly, if you listen to this Timberline episode before the episode I recorded with Perfect North GM Jonathan Davis last summer, you'll be starting behind. Not only does that episode contain important background on the Perfect family's accidental but fierce entrance into the ski industry, but Davis discusses how the family bought Timberline in a 2019 auction. The story starts at the 1:30:33 mark:On Timberline's renaissanceDC Ski also wrote a comprehensive article on Timberline's comeback:On the lodge fire at Mad River (not that Mad River)Price was general manager at Mad River, Ohio – which was at the time owned by Peak Resorts and is now a Vail property – when a fire destroyed the lodge:Peak Resorts quickly built a new lodge, investing $6.5 million into a facility that was almost twice the size of the old one.On the lift accident at TimberlinePrice discusses a lift de-ropement that marred Timberline's reputation. The local ABC News affiliate wrote about the incident shortly after it occurred, in February 2016:About 25 people fell to the ground after a ski lift derailed at the Timberline Resort in Davis, West Virginia, this morning, an official told ABC News.The drop was about 30 feet, according to Joe Stevens of the West Virginia Ski Areas Association, of which Timberline is a member.Two people were hospitalized with non-life threatening injuries, Stevens said.About 100 skiers were left stranded on the ski lift after the derailment, Chief Sandy Green of Canaan Valley Fire Department Chief Sandy Green told ABC News.The lift in question was Thunderstruck, a triple chair that, along with the resort's other two chairlifts, the new owners demolished in 2020.On the old trailmaps/lift configuration/trail footprintPrice and I talked extensively about Timberline's new and old lift and trail alignments, which differ significantly. Here's a circa 2016 trailmap, showing the mountain with two top-to-bottom triples and several trails that no longer exist:And here are the old and contemporary maps side by side:On White Grass and Canaan ValleyTimberline is adjacent to two ski areas: White Grass Touring Center and Canaan Valley. Here's how they stack together on the map:White Grass is widely considered one of the best cross-country ski areas in the East, with 50 kilometers of trails:Canaan Valley is owned by the state of West Virginia. It's an 850-footer with 95 acres of terrain:Both Canaan and White Grass are Indy Pass partners. You can ski between all three ski areas, Price says, on cross-country skis, though a peak separates White Grass and Canaan.As impressive as this three-resort lineup is, the region could have grown into something even more spectacular, had a planned resort been built at nearby Mount Porte Crayon. Blue Ridge Outdoors profiled this ski-area-that-never-was in 2010:Porte Crayon has all the right ingredients for a resort: an average of 150 to 200 inches of snow a year, a unique hollow shape that helps push much of the windblown snow onto the northern slopes, and big vertical drop.“From top to bottom, we were looking at a true 2,200 foot vertical drop, making it the sixth largest vertical drop at a resort east of the Rockies, with weather similar to southern Vermont,” Jorgenson says. “It would have been the largest resort south of Lake Placid, New York.”Bright Enterprises started buying up land on Porte Crayon over a decade ago. The plan called for a 2,000-acre resort with more than 2,000 feet of vertical drop on a north-facing slope that got plenty of natural snow. Skiers salivated over the prospect of skiing that kind of terrain below the Mason Dixon, while environmentalists cringed at the thought of a mountaintop village, golf course, and second home development scarring the pristine landscape.For ten years, a debate brewed with locals and skiers coming down hard either for or against Almost Heaven. Eventually, Bright Enterprises failed to purchase a significant piece of private land at the top of the mountain, and resort plans fell apart.Today, the mountain is a well-known backcountry ski zone.
