We’re officially into sequel territory.

This week we revisit Back to the Future Part II (1989), the hoverboard-fueled follow-up that promised flying cars and self-lacing shoes… then gave us Biff’s dystopian empire instead.

As kids, this felt like the coolest movie in the trilogy.

As adults, it feels a little more… complicated.

Did this sequel expand the story in brilliant ways?

Or did it pile on too much?

We talk about the 2015 future, the alternate 1985 twist, Marty’s “nobody calls me chicken” flaw, and whether this middle chapter actually holds together.

Plus: we open with a game called Future or Fake, testing which future predictions were actually in the movie.
