Geek Mentality

It's Thursday. It's day 23. I watched that movie again. And today I review some Rotten Tomatoes reviews as well as read some full reviews of Back to the Future Part III from back when it first came out: Review/Film; A Trilogy Whose Future Has PassedBy Vincent CanbyMay 25, 1990New York Times (via the Internet Archive) Back To the Future Part IIIBy Ty BurrUpdated November 09, 1990Entertainment Weekly Back To the Future Part IIIBy Variety StaffDecember 31, 1989Variety Back To the Future Part IIIBy Jonathan RosenbaumOctober 26, 1985 (cute, but that can't be right)Chicago Reader Back To the Future Part IIIBy Hal HinsonMay 25, 1990Washington Post

It’s Wednesday, everybody! And as of today we are in the final stretch of shows. The final ten! This weekend will be the final weekend. Next week will be the final week. I feel like it’s been going on forever and at the same time it’s been flying by! I guess that’s how time works though, right? You don’t realize how much has passed until it’s already gone – and there isn’t a DeLorean or stolen train that allows you to go back. Wait, did I just get deep and philosophical? NERD ALERT! Anywho, today I watched Back to the Future Part III for the 22nd time this month and much like the other day – I have no idea what today’s podcast is going to be about since I wrote this out before I did the podcast. Sounds like another gem. Enjoy. BREAKING: I know what I talked about now – because I have since talked about it. After I fill some time talking about bowling (no, I’m not kidding), I take a “Back to the Future Part III: The Ultimate Geek

It's Tuesday, my fellow Time-Traveliers! Today I watched Back To The Future Part III for the 21st time in 21 days – and today I'm here to podcast…about something a little different. It's still 100% related to Back to the Future Part III, but I thought it would be fun to talk a little about this YouTube video I found, “Back to 1885 – A 'Back to the Future Part III' Fan Event ('Doc'umentary).” For more info, check out Backto1885.com!

Much like Buford "Mad Dog" (he hates that name) Tannen, I do my killing before breakfast - and by killing, I mean killing off the 20th viewing of Back to the Future Part III because I was able to watch about 50% of the movie before breakfast, another 25% before I started working - and then the final 25% during a break that I prescribed for myself. Now I am no mathema-whatzit, but I think that means I watched the entire movie before my lunch break so I have to find something else to watch while I'm eating those frozen burritos I keep buying even though I shouldn't.... And what do I talk about in today's episode - well, beat's me!? I wrote this before I recorded it, so I'm as excited as you are to find out what the hell I said today.

Sunday Funday! I'm back for the 19th day in a row and I'm not tired at all...Zzzzzzzz...Wait where was I? Oh - today, I pretty much just talk about some notes I took and also how I need to get the show up and done early tomorrow. I'll be back then - you better be too!

Happy Saturday everybody! Today's episode I focus mostly on the band playing at the Hill Valley Celebration. A little group, maybe you've heard of them - called ZZ Top! And since we're talking music, maybe - just maybe - there's a new Marchy McFly song as well!

Happy St. Patrick’s Day from Seamus, Maggie, Marty, Lorraine, Linda, Dave, George, the future Jennifer, and Marchy…McFly. Today I talk about some of the deleted scenes of this movie – play the only one I could find, and also play a few bloopers. Pour a pint and enjoy the show….And fear not, I’ll be back tomorrow to do it all again! Check out that Tripod (yes Tripod!) web page I mentioned that had some photos of deleted scenes. The pop-ups are annoying but the photos are cool. And here is a video of the deleted scene I played during this episode.

Smile, Doc? How about smile, everyone! Because I'm back for the 16th consecutive day to talk about Back to the Future Part III - and we can now officially say we've passed the halfway point. We're really halfway through the final movie in the series. It seems like only yesterday I was watching Back to the Future Part III....Oh wait.

Happy Thursday - wait it's only Wednesday!? Okay fine then - happy Wednesday and happy Marchy 15th. I'm not going back and editing that honest mistake. Instead, I turned it into a hilarious joke that you're still laughing at. Today - which is totally Wednesday - I talk about the Pohatchee Drive-In, and the Native Americans we see for a good 25 seconds in this movie. Spoiler - I wish there was more.

Happy Pi Day, Everybody! Since today 3/14, I thought I would celebrate Pi Day the only way Marchy McFly can - but talking about the Frisbie pie tin that Marty used to save Doc's life - earning the nickname "Pie Slinger" from Buford Tannen.

It's Monday. Again. Welcome back to day Thirteen! Lucky Thirteen that is! Today, I tried to focus on that biggest character in all of Back to the Future to never utter a word - and no, I'm not talking about Einstein or Copernicus. I'm talking about - what else - The DeLorean!

Happy Oscar Sunday, movie nerds! Today, in keeping with the theme of the day, I talk mostly about the awards that all three Back to the Future movies won or were nominated for. I also talk about another fun scenario I came up with that would've been cool to see - but my favorite part of this episode might be the beginning.

Live From Geek Mentality, it's Saturday Night! Welcome to day eleven everybody. Today I talk a little bit out Doc and Clara, a "fun" little thing I picked up from the novelization, how I wish I knew more about Doc's time in 1885 before Marty got there - and there might be another little special surprise in there.

It's Friiiiiday! I had the day off and was able to record earlier today before taking a ride with my wife to the beach. Sure there's still snow on the ground - but the sun in blazing, and you'd be surprised how warm 45 degrees feels in March. Today I talked primarily about the town of Hill Valley as seen in 1885. See you tomorrow!

Happy Thursday, Time Traveleers! Today I went with no notes again and two talking points that I wanted to get to. Somehow I rambled on for nearly 30 minutes, but that just goes to show the power of Marchy McFly and Back to the Future Part III!

Happy Wednesday, DocBrownigans! Today, well - you guess it - I watched Back to the Future Part III! And in this episode of Marchy McFly, I mostly talk about a WhatCult titled "20 Things You Somehow Missed In Back To The Future Part 3," where many of them I already knew, one for sure was just plain wrong, and one TOTALLY blew me away! I am going to go through all 20 but you should click above to check it out yourself! See you tomorrow, cool kids!

In the future, we don't need horses. We have motorized carriages called automobiles. And today, I recorded the entire episode of Marchy McFly in one such automobile. No notes, no computer, no distractions (unless you count trying to drive safely). Today, I tried to focus my thoughts talking about the third most important character in this movie - the lovely and wonderful Clara Clayton, played by the lovely and wonderful Mary Steenburgen.

Welcome back McFlyers! It’s Monday, it’s a new week, and….well…I once again watched Back to the Future Part III today – surprise! Today I want to talk about the performance that Thomas F. Wilson put in with this movie as he plays the incredibly underrated (at least by me before this month) Buford “Mad Dog” Tannen….He hates that name.

Run for fun? Who would do such a thing? Well actually, the Marchy McFly stars aligned today as I did just that by running a 4-mile race earlier today. But don't worry, I still had time to watch Back to the Future Part III for the fifth time in five days. In today's episode, I focus mostly on the man who said the quote that is today's episode title - as well as his cohorts in the saloon that Marty and Doc find themselves in throughout the movie. Enjoy!

Saturday, March 4th, 2023. I think it's time. After four days of watching Back to the Future Part III, I think there is just no way it can be ignored anymore. I've delayed it long enough. I have to talk about what is going on....at the McFly Farm. I also think I come up with a good alternative for what Lea Thompson could have been doing rather than suddenly being a McFly-by-marriage two different times!
