Happy Sunday, McButtheads! There are only a few minutes left in this movie which means there are only a few days left in Marchy McFly! I can't believe we're almost through another month long adventure together! Today I talk about a couple newspapers, a matchbook, and wonder why Biff never discusses the fact that he saw a teenage boy hanging from a flying spaceship?

I am home! Yes ladies and gentleman my journey from driving my mother-in-law from Florida to Massachusetts ended today! Here is the pic I meant to post the other day when I recorded some audio poolside in Florida, only for it to sound like crap and scrapping it:

Ah, I remember that guy. So happy. So full of life. It’s surprising what three straight days of driving can do to you.

Anywho, today on Marchy McFly, I take you through Marty’s attempt to steal back the almanac and Biff’s attempt to murder young Martin. I also go on some “what-if” tangents that go in some odd directions.

Ah, classic me…

Today’s episode of Marchy McFly was done. It was over. I recorded it hours and and was putting the finishing touches on it. This was the original title was MARCHY McFLY 6: “You Think That Stupid Disguise Would Get By Me?” (27 of 31) and the original image was this:

But, then I received word from former/future guest Chris that actor James Tolkan, mostly remembered for Top Gun and even more so as Mr. Strickland himself in the first two Back to the Future films (and a distant relative in the third installment), has passed away at the age of 94.

Even though most of today’s episode deals with the 3 minutes and 20 seconds of Marty screwing up again becuase being called “chicken” is so bad. And, even though I recorded part of the episode while eating in a Sheetz near our motel in Fredericksburg, VA – and the second part hiding from the rain behind that same Sheetz. And even though my ego is writing checks my body can’t cash…Wait what was I talking about?

Such a SLACKER! Oh yeah, even though that’s what most of the episode is about, I had to take a few moments in the beginning to pay respects to the man. The image for this episode and the title of this episode do not follow the same theme. They aren’t from the 200 seconds of this episode I was covering.

And that doesn’t matter one bit. RIP James Tolkan.

Greetings, McTravelers! Today marked day one of my traversing up the eastern seaboard of the United States with my mother-in-law and her dog! I am currently typing this in a dark Quality Inn motel room in Walterboro, South Carolina. Never trust a motel by the adjective in its name.

I was able to record today's Marchy McFly after a long day of driving - to the point where I forgot what day it was and had to splice in me saying the correct day in the beginning. If something sounded weird there, that is why.

And after a Cracker Barrel salad and some Buc-ee's beef jerky (my first time visiting that heavenly place today), I am needing to use tether to my cell phone for good enough Internet service to upload this episode.

"Quality" indeed.

Today I cover Marty trying to save Marty from Biff's cronies - that's the majority of the segment. We get another angle of Johnny B. Goode, more "how did they not notice this kid in the leather jacket" talk, and at one point I fear that I am going to be attacked by a kettle of hawks.

Yup. That's what you call a group of hawks - a kettle. I just looked it up. See you tomorrow McNerds!

Hello again from McFlorida! During these road trips home, Wednesdays are generally the buffer day. I fly in on Tuesdays, we start the drive on Thursdays - but Wednesdays are the day I don't do much. Of course I help my mother-in-law pack up her car, and we get ready to shove of in the morning, but most of the day is fairly chill - even the dinner with her and her two brothers (picture Steve Guttenberg in Cocoon) isn't too bad.

And as I type this, I can say I made it through Wednesday unscathed! This morning, I took my traditional walk down to the nearest Wawa for some breakfast burritos, and on the walk back I made sure to get all my 10,000+ steps in on a detour down this long walk/bike path. And do you know what else I did on this path? Eww, no - get your mind out of the gutter. I recorded today's Marchy McFly!

I hope you don't mind my walk-and-talks because you're going to hear a couple more before the week is through! Oh and in the movie today, Biff gets punched twice and Marty goes through a lot of trouble just for a girly magazine!

Greetings from sunny McFlorida! Yes this morning I got to the airport in Boston way too early so on today's Marchy McFly, you will hear from me from my gate hours before departing, and then later I thought you would hear from me poolside before taking my book into the pool with me. I definitely recorded it - but apparently my bluetooth headphones were on and acting as the microphone even though I wasn't close enough for them to actually hear me well - so I scrambled and just recorded me basically whispering from the guest room of my mother-in-law's house. The quality of the recording might not be great - the quality of the content might be even worse - but warned you going in, so if you listen - you have no one to blame but you.

Except for me. You can also blame me.

Happy Monday McListeners! Today is the last Marchy McFly before I head off to Florida until Saturday. I really have no idea how the episodes from Tuesday through Friday will turn out - but that's part of the fun, I think! Or, I think?

Oh and I found something new that I now love and will enjoy every time I see and hear it going forward with this movie.

Happy Sunday, McFriends! Today on Marchy McFly, I have to admit - the segment wasn't all that dazzling. I do talk a little more about the novelization, which I finished today. I also talk about re-listening to an old episode of the I Read Movies podcast that covers the novelizations of both sequels, and I found a clip of Elijah Wood in a recent interview talking a little about Back to the Future Part II and showing it to his son for the first time.
