The explanations are stupid. In order to appreciate the references, we should already understand them.

@demboyswashuge That's hardly a constructive comment. This video is celebrating the cool references in the show, and explaining them to those who did not already understand them. It's an annotation. That's what annotations ARE.

Another commenter did point out I missed "Eastwood Ravine," also a cool shout out.

AWESOME! - but ye missed a good one - the Rendezvous Point was near "Lyon Estates" - an upscale neighborhood being built in 1985 in the first movie, and shown as kind of a place for upscale losers in 2015 in the second movie! :)

[whardcastle]

ACK! You're right! I didn't start paying attention for references until the "Twin Pines Mall" line. That's when my ears perked!

[marxwatch]

no worries-Awesome vid! there're a few others too like Eastwood Ravine and MM feedin his car garbage and running clean. Probably others I missed as well. I've even seen some people list Wendy waking up like Marty at the beginning of the show, how closely the saucer resembled one on the cover of the old magazine, and Gil's shooting of the Aliens not being unlike the Peabody's shooting at alienMarty. those might be stretching it though. harder to be certain unlike previously mentioned ones.

Alrighty then. NEXT time I'm going to rewatch these with a fine-toothed comb. We may have to have viewing parties. I hope each episode has some sort of running reference gag. This could be fun.

Back to the Future is my favorite movie!!!

[demboyswashuge]

@Beatlebug60 Best movie ever.

[demboyswashuge]

@whardcastle Yes I appreciate the video post thank you. Never heard of the show but can always use a nice BTTF reference :)

creepy

Wow. I bow down to your superior eye for detail and knowledge of movies.

The writer just loves to add little things in his script. That isn't to say that the actors do poorly. They (the actors) do a great job at hiding these things along with what they do or say. I applaud the writer. I bet he hides things in every episode.

I've seen all the back to the future movies and seen all these episodes and I never once caught it. I've caught some of the ghostbuter ones though. Yea me!

[MarvelroxDCsux]

twin pines, Dr. Emmet brown and hill valley i got. but i didn't get the Tannen or the Clara clayton one or the strickland! lol.

also, in a later episode with ghosts, there are mentions of Egon spangler, the ghostbusters, and Ivo Shandor(the dude who built the Zuul building)
