As a special feature of The Fanbase Weekly podcast, the Fanbase Feature focuses on and celebrates a specific element of geek culture.
In this Fanbase Feature, The Fanbase Weekly co-hosts Bryant Dillon and Drew Siragusa are joined by special guests Rylend Grant (Ringo Award-winning writer – The Peacekeepers, The Jump, co-host of The Writers Block podcast) and Tilly & Susan Bridges (writers – Monster High, Star Trek: Voyager: Homecoming) to participate in a thorough discussion regarding Back to the Future (1985) in light of the feature film’s 40th anniversary, with topics including why many consider it a “perfect” film, how a beloved film can play so blatantly with an incestual attraction between mother and son, how the film set the standard for America’s pop culture understanding of how time travel works, and more. (Beware: SPOILERS for Back to the Future abound in this panel discussion!)
Cast members: Rylend Grant (Ringo Award-winning writer – The Peacekeepers, The Jump, co-host of The Writers Block podcast) and Tilly & Susan Bridges (writers – Monster High, Star Trek: Voyager: Homecoming), Drew Siragusa (Fanbase Press Senior Contributor, The Fanbase Weekly co-host), and Bryant Dillon (Fanbase Press President, The Fanbase Weekly co-host, writer – Something Animal, Identity Thief)
