Hi there, fellow BTTF fans!
I'm three years older than Marty McFly and four years younger than Michael J. Fox -- right in between them. I've used the name "Western Union" to discuss BTTF on the Internet ever since 1991 on the Prodigy online bulletin board (Hi, Dan!). I'll settle into writing articles about the real-world popular culture of the 19th and 20th centuries. There are a lot of BTTF fans that were born after 1985 who may not understand or even notice all the inside jokes and connections in the movies. Having followed in Marty's footsteps, I'm here to help y'all appreciate this tightly-written detail-packed series.
My article wishlist (I hope we can finish them by 2015):
