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.
(airdate: 01.29.26) Michael J. Fox opens up about living with Parkinson's, pushing for more government support for brain research, and sharing emotional scenes with Harrison Ford on Shrinking (Apple TV+). Plus, Ryan Reynolds is reportedly eyeing a return to Deadpool mode as he looks to reset his public image and get back into the role fans love most. Voted 6th Best Entertainment News Podcast!

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. Rick Neuheisel breaks down Indiana's shocking national championship run, explaining why Kurt Cignetti's rapid rebuild deserves historic praise despite the modern NIL and transfer landscape. He details how elite evaluation, culture, and buy-in — including key James Madison transfers — powered wins over Ohio State, Alabama, Oregon, and Miami, culminating in a defining performance by Fernando Mendoza.

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.

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.

Today we are joined by longtime friends of the show, Caitlyn and Cullen of Caitlyn's Conspiracy Corner to talk about not one, but three movies, one of the greatest trilogies of all time, Robert Zemekis's Back to the Future 1, 2, & 3! These movies need little introduction, but for the uninitiated, the films star Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd as they travel back and forth through time to remedy the mistakes they both inadvertently cause for their own past and future selves. We discuss what the films mean to us, how they may or may not be indicative of the culture of Reagan's America, and how the third movie is either a worthy entry to the franchise or a terrible tacked on addition to an otherwise perfect duology. Your mileage may vary on it, and it doesn't seem like any of us got 88 mph out of it.

Michael J. Fox delivers peak ‘80s charisma as Marty McFly, while Christopher Lloyd gives us the wild-eyed, brilliant, borderline-unhinged Doc Brown we all wish we had as a science teacher. We break down the film's most iconic moments: the skateboard chase, the Enchantment Under the Sea dance, George McFly finally throwing a punch that changed the timeline, and of course the legendary 1.21 gigawatts lightning-strike finale. We also dive into its perfect blend of comedy, sci-fi, heart, and pure cinematic magic — plus all the timeline questions that still make fans' brains melt. Support the show
The year might be set to end, but the flow of new movies and TV shows isn't letting up. This week:Nuremberg - in cinemasJay Kelly - NetflixThe Family McMullen - HBO MaxTwiggy - Prime VideoFuture Boy - SpotifyThere's also an impromptu chat about the Netflix acquisition of Warner Bros.It's a lot of show.
Strap in and charge up the Mr Fusion, because this week on Born To Watch, the boys head back, forward and sideways through time with our full Back to the Future Part 2 (1989) Review. Whitey, G Man and Will settle into the DeLorean for one of the most ambitious sequels of the 1980s, breaking down timelines, hoverboards, self-lacing Nikes and all the glorious 80s optimism jammed into Robert Zemeckis' wild ride.The episode kicks off with the crew riffing on 1989 as a powerhouse movie year, then quickly dives into how Back to the Future Part 2 faced enormous expectations. With a to be continued tease at the end of the original, fans were primed, and the pressure was real. As the boys say, sequels rarely outshine their predecessors, but every now and then you get an Empire Strikes Back or a T2. So where does this one land?Whitey shares how the film was a childhood favourite, the one he rewatched the most, and how time has shifted his appreciation back to the original. Gow reveals he saw it at the cinema on release and has clocked well over 15 viewings since, instantly transported by Alan Silvestri's iconic score. Will talks about how the franchise has simply always been there, one of those movies that defined growing up.From there, the episode fires through the good, the bad and the very strange. There's deep love for the hoverboard, the power-lace Nikes, and that brilliant rooftop confrontation where Marty lures Biff over the edge before swooping up in the DeLorean. The crew gives full credit to the groundbreaking split-screen effects, the energy of Michael J. Fox juggling multiple characters, and the perfect dual performance from Fox and Christopher Lloyd, who are operating at peak one-two punch level.They also dig into the weird bits the film never fully explains. Could Old Biff actually operate the DeLorean? Why does he get sick travelling through time when no one else ever has? Why do Jennifer and Jennifer faint from seeing each other, but Biff does not? How does Marty not realise Hill Valley 1985 has turned into a dystopian biker slum the moment he steps out of the car?From Jaws 19 to the brilliant Jaws VHS window cameo, from Indiana Jones nods to manure trucks, the boys unpack every Easter egg this film throws at you. And of course, there's a big chat about whether Biff Tannen's alternate 1985 persona is really just 80s Donald Trump in a green tracksuit. (Spoiler, yes.)The episode also dives into box office numbers, casting trivia, Elizabeth Shue stepping in as Jennifer, and some cracking tangents, including Huey Lewis, yacht rock, Stranger Things, The Little Mermaid, and even John Farnham fronting LRB.By the time the boys reach question time, they've covered everything from the butterfly effect through to whether a single rich bloke can really break the fabric of time. It's pure Born To Watch chaos, big laughs and deep nostalgia for one of the great sequels of our generation.If you love time travel, manure trucks and three blokes talking absolute cinematic nonsense, make sure you follow Born To Watch on Spotify and Apple.

Fall back in time with Legends Podcast! All month long, we're talking about time travel, paradoxes, and if my calculations are correct, when this baby hits 88 miles per hour... you're gonna see some serious shit! Forty years ago, director Robert Zemeckis and writer Bob Gale, partnering with Steven Spielberg as producer, introduced one of the most iconic time machines to ever grace the big screen: Doc Brown's DeLorean. But the road to bringing it to life was rocky - their pitch was rejected more than forty times, and when it was finally greenlit, it had a tiny budget, and their dream lead actor, Michael J. Fox, wasn't available. Once the cameras rolled, they quickly realized that their replacement lead, Eric Stoltz, wasn't working out. After a series of false starts, the movie ended up performing well with test audiences, and in a sign of confidence, the studio, Universal, ended up moving up the release date to July 3rd, leaving almost no time to finish the movie's special effects. Nevertheless, the result was a hit. It became the highest-grossing film of 1985, won three Oscars, spawned two sequels, an animated series, and a musical, and is widely regarded as one of the greatest films ever made. Now we're embracing our density, er, destiny and ending time travel month with one of the best to ever do it. We're going Back to the Future… and this is Chronovember!

Remembering Paul Costelloe - Cosima - Future Boy by Michael J Fox review - Steve Wall
For Food & Family Month, the So Many Sequels crew dives into one of the most beloved family films of the 1990s — Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey (1993). This week, Josh, Garrett, and David revisit the heartfelt animal adventure featuring Chance, Shadow, and Sassy, exploring why this simple story about loyalty and family still resonates decades later.From tear-jerker moments to standout voice performances (Michael J. Fox! Don Ameche! Sally Field!), we break down the film's emotional beats, practical animal work, and how it stacks up against today's CGI-heavy family movies. We also debate which pet we'd be in the Homeward Bound universe, share childhood memories tied to the film, and talk about why the ending still hits hard.It's cozy, heartfelt, nostalgic, and absolutely perfect for the season.
[School of Movies 2025] Teenager from 1985 accidentally winds up in 1955 and meets his parents as teenagers, endangering his very existence. Bob Zemekis and Bob Gale made time travel immense and exhilarating, yet fun, intimate and personal, wisely choosing to focus (in a way that was rare at the time) on the everyboy hero's family relationships. And to illustrate quite how the alchemy of casting and crew was so key, they got several weeks into the original shoot with a completely different actor for Marty McFly. Things only finally clicked into place when Eric Stoltz exited the project and Michael J. Fox entered the scene, simultaneously filming day-shoots of the sit-com Family Ties. Three of the greatest movies ever made, and perennial occupants of my most beloved top spots, Back to the Future, both as a trilogy, and as a stand-alone film is so close to perfect that it can be rounded up to perfect with minimal argument. It has been fifteen years since I first recorded a show on each of these, and more than any other previous show, they were in desperate need of a revisit. Guest: Jesse Ferguson @TheDapperDM from the Recorded Tomorrow Podcast Those early Digital Gonzo shows can be found on the School of Movies Archive podcast feed. They are rough as hell, amateur hour on my part and each barely breaks the sixty minute mark. The best bits of all of them are featured at the end of each of these three new shows. Many thanks to my vintage guests, Nikki Taylor and Giles Thomas
Go behind the scenes of two iconic roles — and the wild ride in between — as Michael J. Fox joins longtime collaborator and co-author Nelle Fortenberry to discuss their new book, Future Boy: Back to the Future and My Journey Through the Space-Time Continuum. In the early months of 1985, Michael J. Fox did the impossible: starring in Family Ties by day, and filming Back to the Future by night. These two leading roles established him as a towering talent — Family Ties' Reagan-loving, tie-wearing teenager Alex P. Keaton defined a generation of TV viewers with his quick wit and conservative swagger, while Back to the Future's Marty McFly became a cinematic archetype: instantly recognizable, charismatic, and endlessly enduring in popular culture. The result was a time-bending stretch of work that would define Fox's career. Told with all of Michael J. Fox's warmth, wit and self-awareness, Future Boy is the untold story of that unprecedented time — and of the creative energy, ambition, and joy that fueled both projects. Don't miss this special conversation with Fox and Fortenberry as they revisit those extraordinary months and share insights and reflections on an unforgettable moment in entertainment history.
From Camp Lejeune to Clinical Breakthrough: Mark Burnett's Incredible Fight Against Parkinson's & Alzheimer'sBorn at Camp Lejeune in 1958, Mark Burnett's life was shaped by contaminated water that led to decades of neurological challenges—Parkinson's and Alzheimer's. Misdiagnosed and dismissed for years, Mark refused to accept an “impossible” prognosis. Instead, he approached his condition like a broken system—and debugged it.His journey uncovered a 2,000-year-old plant, a Japanese study, and a revolutionary ultra-chill milling process that preserved its natural compounds. The result? A powerful, all-natural supplement that changed his life.Mark even completed the Michael J. Fox marathon and beat Alzheimer's odds with measurable progress. Today, he shares his story of resilience, innovation, and hope for those facing neurological disease.
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.

Send us a textGreat Scott! Some movies don't just age well, they keep gaining power like a clock tower in a storm. We unpack why Back to the Future still crackles: a script that pays off every setup, characters who change in ways you can feel, and time travel rules that invite geeky debate without derailing the fun. From the Save the Clock Tower flyer to Uncle Joey's “bars” and the Twin Pines to Lone Pine switch, we map the film's breadcrumbs and show how tight writing creates timeless rewatch value.We get obsessive about the timeline, too. Marty's trip to 1955 unfolds over a week we can actually chart, and the story's paradoxes: bootstrap loops, butterfly ripples, the photo fade, work together instead of fighting each other. We also talk texture: why the DeLorean is the perfect sci‑fi icon, how Biff's blundering menace gives the story bite, and why those Hill Valley sets feel alive in both eras.Then there's the alchemy of performance and music. Michael J. Fox plays panic as propulsion. Christopher Lloyd turns technobabble into wonder. Crispin Glover's physical comedy makes George's punch land like a symphony. And Alan Silvestri's score glues it all together, blasting heroism during the lightning strike and winking when history pivots. It's the rare blockbuster that mixes teen comedy, family drama, and sci‑fi puzzle with confidence, reminding us how bold 80s filmmaking could be without franchise safety nets.If you love film craft, time travel logic, or just want that rush of cinematic joy, you're in the right feed.

Sally Wolf is back in the studio and this time we left cancer at the door. She turned 50, brought a 1993 Newsday valedictorian article as a prop, and sat down with me for a half hour of pure Gen X therapy. We dug into VHS tracking, Red Dawn paranoia, Michael J. Fox, Bette Midler, and how growing up with no helmets and playgrounds built over concrete somehow didn't kill us.We laughed about being Jewish kids in the suburbs, the crushes we had on thirty-year-olds playing teenagers, and what it means to hit 50 with your humor intact. This episode is part nostalgia trip, part roast of our own generation, and part meditation on the privilege of being alive long enough to look back at it all. If you ever watched Different Strokes “very special episodes” or had a Family Ties lunchbox, this one's for you.RELATED LINKSSally Wolf Official WebsiteSally Wolf on LinkedInSally Wolf on InstagramCosmopolitan Essay: “What It's Like to Have the ‘Good' Cancer”Oprah Daily: “Five Things I Wish Everyone Understood About My Metastatic Breast Cancer Diagnosis”Allure Breast Cancer Photo ShootTom Wilson's “Stop Asking Me the Question” SongFEEDBACKLike this episode?
