    If Back to the Future we’re remade today, he’d be going back in time to 1995.

    I’d like to see a remake of Back to the Future just so we can have a scene where Doc Brown refuses to believe Donald Trump will be president.

        In retrospect, the standard of what seemed ridiculous and over-the-top at the time was a bit higher.

        Idiocracy isn’t even remotely funny nowadays, it’s genuinely just very anxiety inducing now. And it’s honestly too fucking positive. A government actually trying to fix issues? Yeah, right.

      Even better: Make the alternate timeline a utopia with doc Brown saying he hasn’t had time to analyze the differences and leave it at that. Throughout the movie have framed portraits of Bernie Sanders ifrom 1995 n the background of any scene indoors.
