Back From the Future: A Celebration of the Greatest Time Travel Story Ever Told

by Brad Gilmore Narrated by Joe Hempel

Overview

The history of the films, cartoons, toys, and more: The Back to the Future series is a timeless collection that is greatly revered by all audiences. The beauty of this book by Brad Gilmore is that it doesn't present the history of the film as textbook information. Gilmore discusses these films from a place of passion and so effectively reveals how the history behind the movies is just as engaging as the films themselves.

Gilmore, a radio and television host, also happens to be a die-hard fan of the movies. As a fan speaking to fellow fans, Gilmore dives into fan theories and provides the answers to all the questions listeners could possibly have-because they are the very questions he himself has asked.



Unheard details and trivia: Not only is Gilmore a diehard fan, but he is also an expert on all things Back to the Future, a fact made evident by the podcast he hosts, Back to the Future: The Podcast. Pairing his knowledge with his passion for the films, Gilmore uses this book to discuss details and movie trivia that reveal just why these movies have stood the test of time.

Editorial Reviews

JULY 2020 - AudioFile

When it comes to BACK TO THE FUTURE, author Brad Gilmore is no dispassionate critic—he’s the ultimate fanboy, and this audiobook is made for people like him. Narrator Joe Hempel has picked up “Future” podcaster Gilmore’s zeal for the film trilogy and performs this audiobook with tenderness and enthusiasm. Gilmore shares behind-the-scenes secrets about the films—the abandoned ideas (like a monkey sidekick) and deleted scenes—and also addresses the video game, the Universal Studios ride, the cartoon series, and the comic books. Hempel is so good that listeners will want to watch the films again to search for all the Easter eggs. There are so many revelations in this work that it’s hard to believe it’s only three hours.

From the Publisher

Brad Gilmore proves you don’t have to be an 80s baby to be obsessed with this trilogy. You’d be hard pressed to find a person more passionate about this trilogy than Brad. His enthusiasm feels just as fresh as when the movies were released. I’m pretty sure he owns shoes with automatic laces at this point. He knows so much about BTTF, you’d swear he was in the passenger seat of the DeLorean the whole time. So strap in, because when this baby hits 88 mph you’re going see some serious sh**.” - Jenn Sterger, Radio/TV Host on All Elite Wrestling
