Episode Details

Great Scott! For this episode we don’t just listen to movie music—we generate enough sonic energy to send us back in time! Today we’re celebrating the electrifying soundtrack to Back to the Future, and joining me on this temporal experiment is my special guest Becca Andrews, co-host of the film review podcast Do You Expect Us To Talk? and occasional contributor to Set The Tape! The moment Huey Lewis & The News unleash The Power of Love, we’re talking a full 1.21 gigawatts of nostalgia! So climb aboard the DeLorean, set the destination circuits for 1985, and hold on tight—because when this soundtrack hits 88 miles per hour… you’re gonna hear some serious music!
