I don't know if you knew this, but Back to the Future is kind of a big deal. Its known as a big hit, but that wasn't a forgone conclusion. Robert Zemeckis was not yet a household name, and while Michael J. Fox was a TV star, translating that to movie stardom was far from guaranteed. Many studios had already passed on the project, and time travel comedies weren't exactly in demand. But sometimes a movie arrives at exactly the right moment, and this was one of those times. It became one of the highest-grossing films of the year and launched one of the most cherished franchises Hollywood has ever produced. On this episode of the Retroist Podcast, I talk all about Back to the Future. I start off talking about what its like returning to your hometown after some time has passed. There's something genuinely disorienting about walking streets you know by heart but finding them subtly wrong. The layout is familiar but the details have shifted. You catch yourself navigating toward a store that closed a decade ago, or slowing down in front of a building that used to mean something. Your feet are in the present but your memory keeps insisting otherwise. It's about as close to time travel as most of us are ever going to get. From there I dig into the film itself, starting with how Bob Gale cooked up the idea after stumbling across his father's old high school yearbook. Seeing it, he wondered whether the two of them would have even gotten along back then. It's a surprisingly simple premise for a story that became so sprawling. After that I cover the development, the casting situation that saw Eric Stoltz replaced by Fox after weeks of actual filming, the production, the release, and the reception. Which was pretty positive. The music deserves its own podcast. Alan Silvestri's score is one of those rare things that makes you feel the emotion of a scene before the actors do anything. And then there's Huey Lewis and the News, whose contribution to the soundtrack sent “The Power of Love” to number one and functioned almost like an advertisement for the movie playing on every radio station in the country. The two things fed each other in a way that felt effortless but was almost certainly not. For a while there, the film was a mania. It wasn't just a movie people saw and enjoyed. It was something they returned to at the theaters, then on home video, then on television. Each new viewing of it reminded people why they loved it in the first place. On this episode I try to trace how that happened. I first covered the movie on a podcast way back in 2011. This is a re-recorded version that has new material and better equipment. It is also the start of a larger visit to the franchise. I hope you enjoy it.

Tread Perilously's TV Movie month continues with Michael J. Fox, Nancy McKeon, and Robert Klein in Poison Ivy. When Dennis Baxter takes a job at Camp Pinewood in Maine, he expects his summer will be filled by taking care of his charges and maybe romancing some of the counselors at the girls' camp across the lake. This changes when assistant nurse Rhonda Malone arrives on the scene. Will he find true love while the kids in his cabin learn the true meaning of friendship? Or will everything fall apart when the camp director declares a color war and splits the camp in two? Paul Pakler joins Erik and Justin in another gab session focused on Fox and McKeon. They also try to figure out if Klein is actually funny. Jason Bateman, despite not appearing in the film, haunts the proceedings. Director Larry Elikan's ABC AfterSchool Specials connection leads to a very particular aside. Paul coins "lead poisoning movies" to explain Poison Ivy and second-screen viewing. With a copy sourced from Chicago's NBC station, the trio also enjoy the 1985 commercials. A certain person's case of cancer, meanwhile, dominates the newsbreaks. Paul has a hard time holding onto the plot while Erik finds it difficult to recall the character names. The group can't help but rewrite aspects of the plot and #campgate is revealed.

The first episode of our season on the awesome movie year of 1985 features the box-office champion, Robert Zemeckis' Back to the Future.

This week, the 3 Guys are heading to Grady, South Carolina to review the 1991 rom-com Doc Hollywood starring the endlessly charming Michael J. Fox. When a fast-lane young doctor totals his Porsche in a tiny Southern town, he's sentenced to community service… but what starts as a pit stop turns into a full-on life detour. Small town. Big personalities. Questionable medical ethics. And yes — a certain ambulance driver who might just change everything. We break down the entire movie (spoilers included), debate Beverly Hills ambition vs. front-porch living, spotlight standout performances, and dig into behind-the-scenes trivia you probably didn't know. Plus, we tackle the important cinematic question: is this basically Cars with a stethoscope? With laughs, hot takes, ratings, and plenty of ‘90s nostalgia, we find out whether Doc Hollywood still has a healthy pulse — or if it needs to be left in the waiting room.

Kirk Cameron steps into the Blurry Creatures 80s basement for a conversation that covers as much ground as his career has decades. Fresh off the viral firestorm of what he's calling "Hellgate," a father and son discussion on his show that turned into a two and a half hour scholarly roundtable on the nature of hell, Kirk walks us through the debate between eternal conscious torment and conditional immortality, why he thinks the church needs to stop shutting down hard questions, and how Augustine's Greek philosophy may have shaped what most Christians assume the Bible says about the afterlife. He also opens up about his journey from teenage atheist to believer at 17, right in the middle of filming one of the most iconic family sitcoms of all time.But this isn't just a theology episode. It's a ride through the 80s, Growing Pains behind-the-scenes stories, meeting William Shatner (the man he was literally named after), competing with Michael J. Fox through a cameraman, and the Ambisol-fueled first kiss with the woman who became his wife of 35 years. Kirk also shares a wild supernatural story from his son James on the Crow reservation in Montana, his niece's stunning connection to a twin lost in miscarriage, and why he believes the biggest problem in the church isn't bad theology. It's that people don't believe God actually loves them. From spiritual warfare to Richard Stabone, this one has it all.

For our next President in our Good Presidents month, we hit up the quintessential American President: The American President. Generic name? Sure. Love story or political drama? Both. With amazing performances from Michael Douglas, Annette Bening, Martin Sheen, David Paymer, Samantha Mathis, and Michael J. Fox; witty writing from Aaron Sorkin; and deft direction from Rob Reiner, the American President is a movie that we need right now.

On the latest episode of A Life In Movies, the movie interview podcast by All The Right Movies, we're talking to legendary actor James Woods.With a career spanning five decades, James has built a reputation as one of cinema's most compelling performers. An actor drawn to morally complex characters and unafraid to inhabit the darkest corners of human nature. A two-time Academy Award nominee with multiple Emmy wins to his name, his filmography reads like a masterclass in intensity.Speaking to us from Los Angeles, James takes us through the key moments that shaped his remarkable career. From his early days studying Political Science at MIT before the pull of acting proved too strong, to his film debut working with the legendary Elia Kazan. We dive deep into five landmark films: David Cronenberg's prophetic body-horror Videodrome, Sergio Leone's epic Once Upon a Time in America opposite Robert De Niro, Oliver Stone's raw and urgent Salvador (which earned him his first Oscar nomination), the action-comedy The Hard Way with Michael J. Fox, and Martin Scorsese's Casino where he brought the slippery Lester Diamond to unforgettable life.James also shares insights into his approach to those morally ambiguous characters that have become his trademark, his acclaimed television work, the compelling story behind his Executive Producer credit on Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer and his most recent artistic endeavour in music. A fascinating conversation with one of American cinema's most distinctive talents.Connect with ATRM: To join our fantastic community of film fans, support what we do, access our archive, listen to exclusive episodes, and a whole lot more, become an ATRM patron:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join the ATRM Community⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ We're available on any podcast platform:Listen on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Listen on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to our channel⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠We're across all major social channels too:Twitter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@ATRightMovies⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@allthe_rightmovies ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join our movie group⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Bluesky: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@alltherightmovies.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@alltherightmovies⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠alltherightmovies.com⁠⁠

RUNDOWN   Mitch and Hotshot Scott open Super Bowl week pleading for the rarest gift in sports: a wire-to-wire Seahawks blowout with zero anxiety attached. Instead, they confront history, betting lines, and the uncomfortable reality that Seahawks–Patriots games almost never come easy, dissecting spreads, totals, MVP odds, and prop bets surrounding Sam Darnold, Kenneth Walker, and the Seattle defense. ESPN insiders Mike Reiss and Brady Henderson join Mitch to trace the improbable parallel journeys of the Patriots and Seahawks from offseason uncertainty to Super Bowl 60. Reiss details how Mike Vrabel reshaped New England's culture around connection and accountability, while Henderson explains why Mike Macdonald's Seahawks are thriving on trust, depth, and collective buy-in rather than star power. The discussion zeroes in on Drake May's health, New England's offensive line vulnerabilities, Seattle's defensive front, and why the Seahawks are favored — while acknowledging that Patriots fans view this matchup as dangerous, not nostalgic. Mitch and Jason Puckett wrestle with the strangest part of Super Bowl 60 week: the complete absence of a believable reason the Seahawks should lose. They debate conspiracy theories, historical heartbreak, and why this matchup feels more like a gift than a grind, with comparisons to past Seattle sports collapses adding a layer of unease. Mitch reconnects with Dave Grosby to reflect on a defining week in Seattle sports history, Grosby's decades-long presence behind the microphone, and his upcoming honor from the American Parkinson Disease Association at the March 14 Magic of Hope Gala. Grosby shares a candid, deeply personal look at living with Parkinson's, the lack of a cure despite years of advocacy and fundraising led by figures like Michael J. Fox, and why continued research is critical. Peter King joins Mitch to unpack the shock of Bill Belichick not being a first-ballot Hall of Famer, offering rare insight into how Hall of Fame voting dynamics, strategic ballots, and a flawed system can produce surprising outcomes. The conversation shifts to Super Bowl 49 memories, lingering fallout inside the Seahawks locker room, and why the Seahawks–Patriots rematch echoes past championship blind spots where favorites felt inevitable — until they weren't.

Dave & Cody fire back up Watch-Alongs with Shrinking Season 3, Episode 1 — going scene-by-scene through an episode that's equal parts hilarious banter and quiet dread. The guys zoom in on Dr. Paul's rapidly progressing Parkinson's (and why that opening needle drop hits so hard), geek out over Harrison Ford doing some of his best work in decades, and celebrate the arrival of Michael J. Fox as “Gerry”… right before the episode rips your heart out with that final reveal. Along the way: crow trauma, “Racist Pam,” soulmate debates, "The Field” (aka the universe/Force/God-adjacent metaphor), and a standout growth moment that proves this show isn't just about shrinking...it's about learning how to grow when life gets heavy.

In this episode of It's the Pictures, hosts Max Covill and Evan Crean discuss the life and legacy of Mel Brooks, touching on his impact on comedy and film. They also remember the late Catherine O'Hara, explore Brandon Sanderson's new deal with Apple TV+, and reflect on the significance of Brooks' work, including films like Blazing Saddles and Spaceballs. The conversation highlights the timelessness of Brooks' humor and the influence he has had on generations of comedians.Chapters00:00 Introduction and Snowmageddon02:58 Super Bowl Excitement and Grammy Thoughts05:45 Tribute to Catherine O'Hara08:51 Brandon Sanderson's New Deal with Apple TV+11:53 Franchise Challenges in Film and TV14:51 Michael J.

Episode 276 of Tom Clark's 6M Podcast is a review of Teen Wolf from 1985. Tom and Phil Lindsey revisit the Michael J. Fox cult classic that mixes supernatural comedy with 1980s high school sports drama, exploring how Scott Howard's werewolf transformation works as a metaphor for adolescence, popularity, and identity. The discussion digs into the film's oddly casual treatment of its supernatural premise, the shifting friendships and basketball dynamics once winning becomes dependent on the wolf. Does this movie hold up as an 80's coming of age flick, even 40+ years later? Dive into that and a lot more! Subscribe on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@boinkstudios Appreciate the content?

RUNDOWN   Mitch and Hotshot Scott react in real time to the Seahawks' thrilling NFC Championship victory over the Rams and the surreal reality of Seattle heading to Super Bowl 60 as betting favorites. They reflect on preseason expectations, the emotional weight of surviving the Rams for a third time, and why this team feels like it's peaking at exactly the right moment. The segment also veers into classic Mitch Unfiltered trivia, from Alberta, Canada connections to Michael J. Fox and iconic musicians, before setting the table for a Super Bowl-centric week ahead. Ray Roberts breaks down why the Seahawks' NFC Championship victory over the Rams wasn't luck, but proof of a fully connected, resilient team built to withstand chaos and pressure. He explains how Seattle survived defensive breakdowns, Riq Woolen's near-disastrous penalty, and Matthew Stafford's efficiency by leaning on internal leadership, timely stops, and Sam Darnold's poise in the biggest game of his career. Brady Henderson and Jacson Bevens break down how the Seahawks survived another wild showdown with the Rams, praising Mike Macdonald's evolving brilliance and the team's collective resilience under pressure. The discussion highlights Sam Darnold's career-defining performance, late-game heroics from Devin Witherspoon and Nick Emmanwori, and the near-disastrous Riq Woolen penalty that could've changed Seattle sports history.

Programa de Par-Impar dedicado a la comedia de acción Colegas a la fuerza, con Michael J. Fox y James Woods. Nuevo programa del podcast de cine de esRadio, Par-Impar, dedicado en este caso a la comedia de acción de 1991 titulada en España Colegas a la fuerza, donde el duro policía de Nueva York interpretado por James Woods debe soportar a un actor de Hollywood que le quiere tomar de modelo, papel que recae en el pizpireta Michael J. Fox recién salido de las secuelas de Regreso al Futuro. En el programa, Juanma y Dani conversan sobre la comedia dirigida por John Badham (Cortocircuíto, Fiebre del sábado noche), una muestra típica del cine de colegas o buddy-movies de los ochenta y noventa, sobre todo policiales, pero que esconde todo tipo de placeres para aquel que sepa y quiera apreciarlas. En el caso de Colegas a la fuerza, la incorrección política típica de los títulos de la época, al menos desde la mirada actual, y sobre todo un componente paródico de Hollywood y el propio género que anticipa lo que otras películas harían después.

We break down the performances, iconic moments, time-travel logic, and why Back to the Future remains one of the most beloved films of all time.So buckle up, check your flux capacitor, and join us as we ask the real question: does Back to the Future still hit at 88 miles per hour?

Welcome to Multiverse News, Your source for Information about all your favorite fictional universesThe second Avengers: Doomsday teaser trailer dropped everywhere on Tuesday and features the God of Thunder himself, Chris Hemsworth as Thor. Where the Captain America trailer played much like a silent film, this one gives us a monologue's worth of dialogue from Thor as he prays for strength to fight one last enemy. On the Happy, Sad, Confused Podcast this week, Ryan Coogler detailed what Black Panther 2 might have been before the death of Chadwick Boseman. T'Challa and his young son would have fought Namor side by side, with Namor being an “insanely dangerous” version of the character. Coogler reiterated that the film they made meant he “got a chance to make a movie about women…I love that movie so much.” Boseman was too ill to even read the original script that Coogler finished. Though he's working on resurrecting The X-Files for television, Coogler said of Black Panther 3 that he has “this movie on my heart.” With a fairly quiet Christmas at the box office, Avatar: Fire and Ash continued to wear the crown, climbing to a global total of $760 million, while A24's Marty Supreme starring Timothee Chalamet had a studio best opening to $27.1 million. Other films with big names opened including Anaconda featuring Paul Rudd and Jack Black; The Housemaid, starring Amanda Seyfried and Sydney Sweeney; and Song Sung Blue, which was star-studded with Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson. None did as well as Chalamet's period piece and certainly not James Cameron's continued epic.Danny Ramirez will not return to HBO's The Last of Us season 3 due to scheduling conflicts. His role will be recast.The highly anticipated Peaky Blinders feature film, now officially titled Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man, has been set for theatrical release in select cinemas on March 6, 2026. Netflix also released the first teaser trailer for the film.Apple TV and Legendary Entertainment are expanding the “Monsterverse” universe, announcing a new show starring Wyatt Russell, who will reprise his role as Colonel Lee Shaw in a prequel series. Writer/producer Joby Harold is set to serve as showrunner.Apple TV has released the first trailer for season 3 of Shrinking, which shows the first look at Michael J. Fox, who was added to the cast alongside Jason Segal and Harrison Ford.

With a career spanning over 50 years, Helix have lived through the highs and lows of the rock world — and Brian's been there for every single step.

You'll hear stories about: The truth behind the story of Michael J. Fox trying out for Helix What it was like touring the U.S. in the '80s with little money but big ambition How “Rock You” almost didn't make the album The chaos around a beer commercial that nearly derailed a hit single And we dig into Helix's brand-new album, Scrap Metal — out January 23rd — including how it evolved from unfinished demos, the emotional ties to late drummer Fritz Hinz, and the stories behind key tracks like “Stuck in the 80s” and “Fast and Furious.” Whether you've followed Helix from the early days or you're just discovering them now, this is a deep, honest and engaging look at one of Canada's hardest-working rock bands — and the man who kept it all going.

Moved by his speech, he finds Michelle and her mom and invites them over for Christmas Eve. Miraculously, Michelle's dad appears at the Keatons's door. All's well that ends well!Mallory and Jennifer in elf costumes? Check. Skippy as an abominable snowman? Got it. Michael and Elise decorating a cactus? It got better.

Alan revisits a conversation he had with Michael seven years ago, at a time when Fox had been grappling with Parkinson's Disease for 27 years and Alan for three. As Alan says in this updated episode, both have been fighting Parkinson's with attitude – plenty of attitude. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
