## Resource

Episode 1 of Classics Never Say Die takes a trip back to 1985 with Back to the Future, the sci-fi adventure comedy that became one of the most beloved movies of the decade. In this episode, I look at why Marty McFly, Doc Brown, the DeLorean, and Hill Valley still hit so hard, what makes the movie timeless, and why this Robert Zemeckis classic still feels electric all these years later. If you love 80s movies, retro movie nostalgia, and revisiting all-time classics, you’re in the right place.
