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
