Forget your DeLorean, the Landry family’s time-traveling antics are back, and this time, they’re trading petticoats for platform shoes. “The Way Home” returns for a third season, first landing exclusively on Hallmark+ on Thursday, January 2, 2025, before hitting the linear Hallmark Channel in Fall 2025. Season 3 picks up right where the previous season’s […]

“The Way Home” Grooves Back to 1974 in Time-Traveling Third Season...

After the first three episodes of “Kite Man: Hell Yeah!” focused on the acquisition of the bar Noonan’s and Kite Man and Golden Glider’s relationship, the fourth episode of this “Harley Quinn” spin-off takes a bit of a turn. After helping the couple move in together, Bane uses their new bathroom — and finds himself back in the ’80s, accidentally (or very much willingly) changing the future. That’s right, it’s a time-traveling superhero episode, but instead of a hot tub or a DeLorean, it’s a toilet that lets you go back in time.

“We were trying to figure out what could be an interesting way for this to happen that’s not ‘superhero,'” “Kite Man: Hell Yeah!” showrunner Dean Lorey told IndieWire. “We didn’t want to have somebody with a power that can send you back or something like it. It just came down to,...

In the ever-changing landscape of pop culture, where trends flicker faster than a lightbulb, one franchise managed to stand as a beacon across the generations; and it’s none other than Back to the Future. But while the films’ success was largely credited to the titular star Michael J. Fox, his paycheck spoke otherwise.

Despite earning a staggering amount of money from re-releases, merchandise, and more, Back to the Future surprisingly signed Michael J. Fox as Marty McFly, for a ridiculously low amount. But thankfully, the actor later received a promotion during the sequels and didn’t have to lose any sleep over his initial salary.

Michael J. Fox’s Ridiculously Low Salary for Back to the Future

After setting his records straight with Romancing the Stone (1984), director Robert Zemeckis hit the jackpot with his 1985 classic Back to the Future,...

Good news for people who grew up delighting in the weirdo charms of Marty McFly and the DeLorean: The new, two-and-a-half-hour “Back to the Future” musical — which officially opened on Broadway Thursday night — is an incredibly faithful retelling of the 1985 movie, down to classic lines (“My dad’s a peeping Tom!”) and awkward as hell relationship drama.

As for everyone else? Well, that’s where the trouble begins in this musical that, for better or worse, often feels more like an amusement park experience than an art production. The thrill ride even begins before the show officially starts, with the whole outer stage and wings set up to look like an ‘80s video game, with scrolling neon lights and mechanical sounds.

Of every beloved film from the 1980’s, there are perhaps none more beloved by my inner-child than 1985’s Back To The Future. The film was written by Bob Gale and Robert Zemeckis- Zemeckis also being the film’s director. While we can look back on Robert Zemeckis’ career today and see a wide variety of quality across his filmography, at the time Back To The Future was being made there was no one better for the massive undertaking of bringing this sci-fi adventure movie to audiences.

Of course, the making of this film was riddled with re-writes, re-shoots, and even massive recasting. Famously, Eric Stoltz was cast in the role of the film’s main character- Marty McFly. Through filming, Stoltz turned in a darker and more moody performance that lacked the youthful charm that Zemeckis was looking for. This led to Stoltz being fired from the film mid-way...
