The Back to the Future Trilogy

Of all the pop culture influences in my life, Back to the Future has had the most profound impact on me.  When I heard about Brad Gilmore’s book ‘Back from the Future’, I leapt at the opportunity to discuss my favorite movie of all time.  We talked about the long road to get this movie made, how Family Ties almost destroyed the franchise, and the interesting casting decisions including Eric Stoltz as the original Marty McFly, and Eddie Murphy as Doc Brown.  We also talk about some of the more obscure elements, including the movie novelizations, the importance of Chocolate Milk, and the college level class I took on Robert Zemeckis.
