About this episode

Brad Gilmore returns to celebrate Back to the Future Day and finally complete the TIJ Back to the Future trilogy breakdown with a deep dive into Back to the Future Part III! Brad and Chris break down why the Western sequel was so divisive when it hit theaters, why it plays more like the original movie than Part II, and how Doc Brown basically becomes the leading man. They get into Marty and Doc switching roles, the Part II Easter eggs that pay off in Part III, Buford “Mad Dog” Tannen, Marty’s Clint Eastwood identity, ZZ Top’s “Doubleback” and surprise cameo, and why Marty never picks up a guitar! Plus, Brad shares the scary story behind Michael J. Fox’s hanging scene, how Mary Steenburgen became Clara Clayton, the time-travel questions that still don’t quite add up, the runaway train finale, and why Back to the Future may be one franchise Hollywood should NEVER bring back. Purchase Brad Gilmore’s Why We Love Back To The Future wherever you get books!Listen to Hall Of Fame with Booker T & Brad Gilmore - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/hall-of-fame-with-booker-t-brad-gilmore/id1458107908 📸 Instagram: @bradgilmore Talk Is Jericho is available on YouTube! https://www.youtube.csom/ChrisJerichoFozzyLike, Subscribe, and hit the 🔔 to stay updated on new episodes! More from Talk Is Jericho: 📸 Instagram: @chrisjerichofozzy | @talkisjericho 🐦 Twitter/X: @IAmJericho | @TalkIsJericho🎵 TikTok: @chrisjericho🌐 Website: https://www.webisjericho.com/
