Back to the Futures (episode 63)

This time on Science Fiction 101 , we take some trips down memory lane to revisit classic time travel movies. We mostly focus on the Back to the Future series, but also a couple of wildcards: Primer (2004, Colin's pick) and Peggy Sue Got Married (1986, Phil's pick). We also have a listener quiz - Silverberg/Tolkien/Bradbury - and our usual round-up of recommended SF past, present and future. Among the items mentioned in this episode: Robert J. Sawyer's short story collections The premiere of the movie version of  Project Hail Mary  is imminent BFI releases 4k UHD Blu-ray restoration of Peter Weir's early SF film  The Cars That Ate Paris   (1974) ...and likewise of  Invaders From Mars  (1953) Physical media strike back  Shades of  Cocoon  and  *batteries not included  with Netflix's new series  The Boroughs   Find our new episode on your podcast app of choice (see list of suggested pod platforms below), or play it right...
