Listen Now

I knew for a while that this would be the movie for day 9 - mainly because today is the day Renfield showed up on Peacock. Oh and even though the movie didn't get great reviews or have a great box office - I had a lot of fun watching it. With Nicolas Cage as Dracula - How could I not?

It's been 33 years between Fletch movies and I think it was worth the wait. Any reason to get Jon Hamm and John Slattery in a room talking to each other is good enough for me - but in all honesty, I really really enjoyed this movie. I wish it got more attention so there could be more.

The Rock giveth and The Rock taketh away. This movie left me feeling bittersweet. Sweet because of the cameo at the end. Bitter because it was probably the last time we'll see that man play that character. And also bitter because this movie was just...meh.

I started this movie with a frozen burrito for breakfast and ended the movie during some Hot Pockets at lunch. As you can see, I'm a huge foodie so this movie was right up my ally. In all seriousness, this movie was dark, fun, scary, weird, and with great acting. My compliments to the chefs!

Marvel, Ryan Coogler, and the cast of this movie really could not have done a better job with crafting this sequel - especially under the real life circumstances - as well as they did. I definitely had some chopped onions nearby.

What's your favorite scary movie? I'll tell that mine - is not this. I didn't hate it, and there was a bunch I did like about it - but my eyes did roll more than once as I tried to figure out what crazy person was wearing the Ghostface mask this time...

This movie was everything I expected and more. Bonkers. Crazy. Ridiculous. Absurd. And I am saying those with the highest level of compliment. The most shocking thing to me is the Motion Picture Academy were smart enough to give the Oscar to this wild, fun, emotional - incredibly acted - ride. This movie will definitely have to be rewatched - so I can try to figure out all the things I KNOW I missed....

In a shocking turn of events, I'm watching a Marvel movie! Yup, I'm probably the last MCU fan in the world to see this one.

And just like that it's June again! Welcome back movie nerds to another 30 days of movies. Another 30 days of podcasts. Another 30 days of dear ol' Mikey watching and talking a movie he's never every day this month! And what makes this even crazier is - this is the TENTH year of Movie Month! This year will mark the 300th movie and the 240th podcast (remember those first two years were just boring blogs you had to read.) And yes, there will be multiple times this month you'll say - wait he hasn't seen this movie yet? Including this one! Yup, I missed it in the theaters, and decided to wait to watch for a special occasion. I think this fits the bill....See you tomorrow!

Well, my friends, the time has come. To raise the roof and have some fun. Throw away the work to be done. Let the podcast play on.....We did it! It's here! The Marchy McFly 3 Finale episode! I laughed, I cried, I drank diet soda, and I did my best to recap scene-by-scene with no notes the entire plot of the movie in what I call "The Story of Back to the Future Part III." Thank you to everybody who has listened over this month and over this three year project. Thank you to all the guests that have joined me over the year, and especially to Eric and Jason who were part of all three years. I could have done it without you - yes I said could - but dammit it would not have been as much fun! So Thank you! I'll see you back here on the podcast in June - until then - THANK YOU! Your friend in time, -Mike

This feels weird. There's only one more day of Marchy McFly left after today. I'm not sure what to think. In one way, this month has flown by - but on the other hand it feels like my life now is just watching and podcasting about Back to the Future Part III - so I am not sure how it's going to feel once it's all over. But that day is not today. No, today I talk mostly about what the future held for the primary actors in this movie - and there might be a little singing as well....

It's just another Manic Wednesday....Nah, that didn't work. No wonder Prince changed it to Monday. Anyway - Happy day 29 everybody! Today I talk a tiny bit about some notes, and focus most of the time talking about Doc and Clara's sons, Jules...And Verne. I found a reddit page talking about the actor who played Verne that was kind've interesting. And I look up a little about those Pres-To-Logs (which I guess is how they're actually spelled). I did work on something else for the show - BUT - decided to save it for tomorrow...Ooh a tease! Well you'll have to come back then to see what I'm talking about! Please do, I only have a couple of these left!!!

Normal? Well, most of them are - but one of them still looks like all that time travel Marty went through did end up changing him....But guess what isn't changed - ME watching Back to the Future Part III again! Yes for the 28th day in a row I watched this movie and for the 28th day in a row I am here talking about it. BUT - for the first day in a row, I am welcoming back another longtime friend and frequent guest to show, my good pal Jason - the very man who discovered that Alternate-1985 Biff had a crippling cocaine addiction. Enjoy!

It's Monday! The fourth and final Monday of Marchy McFly! And guess how I spent it? Great Scott, you nailed it! Yes, I watched "Back to The Future Part III" for the 27th day in a row. I mean seriously, what were you expecting? Today I talk about a couple articles that I found. One from the Hollywood Reporter and one from Today.com. That and I still have some notes to go through!

Happy Final Sunday, Everybody! Even though Yesterday’s episode image shows Marty about to give Doc a bit of Chester’s “Wake Up Juice,” I took some time today to talk that crazy concoction. I mention how it is written in the novelization and compare that to how it is written in the “Paradox” script. And even though I don’t take it as far as actually making the drink myself (dammit I can’t believe I didn’t think of doing that!), I did find some YouTube channels that attempt to do just that. Check out these videos from Cocktail Chemistry (which references the Paradox script) and from How To Drink (which looks to just be using what’s on the screen as a reference). Both try to make the drink exactly and then try making some actual cocktails based on Joey and Chester’s mixture. I talk about both of those videos – plus more show notes! Until tomorrow!

Saturday....On the Pod...I think it was the 4th of July...I mean 25th of March! Well here we are - our first "LAST" episode is upon us. This is the last Saturday of Marchy McFly and it's not a Saturday Night party without my longtime friend Eric making his return to the show! I wrote this about 10 hours before we talked to each other - but I assume the episode turned out amazing...

Happy Friday everybody! Can you believe after today it's one week left!? The FINAL final stretch is upon us and I almost can't believe it. I have some fun things lined up and some familiar voices will be returning to Geek Mentality in this last week - but in the meantime I hope you enjoy today's show. I go over some notes, strum the guitar a bit - and figure out just how many times the phrase "Back To The Future" is said in this movie. Spoiler alert, it's a lot.

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 Quiz” online quiz from Zoo.com. It wasn’t as ultimate as it claims to be, but I did get a perfect score. I wonder if my guest on Saturday will be able to say the same…

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!
