Tuesday Jan 13, 2026
Out of all the tropes that pop up in family / kids movies, what's up with the wacky scientist? And do they engender the same respect as other mentor characters like wizards or martial arts masters? In Part 2, we ruminate on Back to the Future, Part II (1989). Stick around until the final segment when the panelists try their hand at a mash-up that incorporates story elements from BttF, Flubber, and Honey, I Shrunk the Kids. What wild new movies will we come up with?! Guests: Mitch & Jon.
