Welcome to the Retroist Back to the Future Podcast. On today’s show I talk all about the 1980s mega hit movie, Back to the Future. I talk about the pre-production, the stars, casting issues, production and much much more. This is one of the most important films to be released in the eighties.
I almost feel like you could have a 12 part podcast just on this film.
This episode recording has been replaced with my revisited version of the podcast that I recorded in 2026.
