Welcome back to the Four Takes Movie Podcast! It only took us six months to find an actual floor to record on (thanks for building it, Adam; way to supervise, David). Join Martin, Adam, Luke, and David as they stave off their impending demise to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Robert Zemeckis's 1985 classic, Back to the Future.

Before we hit 88 miles per hour, enjoy a completely baffling detour into Jeff Goldblum's lack of an acting "switch", a defence of the Devil Wears Prada cinematic universe, and a surreal tangent about The Sheep Detectives, a movie where a flock of sheep try to solve a murder.

Once we finally fire up the flux capacitor, the guys gush over the sheer majesty of seeing the DeLorean in glorious IMAX and Dolby Atmos. Expect passionate, old-man-yells-at-cloud rants about how modern 4K movies look like they've been slapped with a cheap Instagram beautification filter, a deep dive into the magic of '70s Foley artists crushing lettuce to make alien sounds, and a logical breakdown of why time-traveling in a DeLorean is way more believable than Indiana Jones surviving a nuke in a refrigerator.

Stick around for the real behind-the-scenes drama, including Crispin Glover's righteous fury over face-stealing and '80s capitalism, David's absolute refusal to accept the dystopian nightmare timeline of Back to the Future II, and a collective roasting of Michael J. Fox’s catastrophic attempt at an Irish accent in the third film.

Next time, we'll be doing a Mel Brookes classic, because it’s going to take us until at least November to convince everyone to sit through Dune!
