Where we’re going on this episode… we don’t need roads!
Back to the Future isn’t just one of the most beloved films of all time—it’s one of the greatest what if movies ever made. A film that may have written the book on time travel in cinema, it thrives on the ripple effect of choices big and small. What if a famous soft drink had been the real power source of the DeLorean? What if George McFly had proof that his old friend Calvin Klein wasn’t just a dream? And in the real world—what if Michael J. Fox never took the role?
In this special 40th-anniversary episode, Bry the Movie Guy fires up the flux capacitor to explore the alternate timelines behind Back to the Future, from the actors who almost starred to the moments that could have changed the story forever. Plus, we dig into the film’s time travel rules, hidden details, and whether one punch from George was really enough to rewrite history.
So set your time circuits accordingly—because once this podcast hits 88 mph, you’re going to hear some serious sh*t.

This week on In a World!, we’re stepping into the pastel-colored, chaos-filled world of The Royal Tenenbaums—Wes Anderson’s bittersweet tale of genius, failure, and questionable parenting. But this episode is more than just a deep dive into one of Anderson’s best films—it’s also a tribute to the legendary Gene Hackman, who delivered one of his finest (and most hilariously selfish) performances as Royal Tenenbaum.
Join me as I break down the film’s perfectly dysfunctional family, Anderson’s signature style, and why The Royal Tenenbaums still hits just as hard over 20 years later. Plus, we’ll discuss Hackman’s incredible career and why this movie would have been the perfect final bow.
