Hello, and action

Hello, dear listeners, and welcome back to What Went Wrong,

your favorite podcast, Full Stop,

that just so happens to be about movies

and how it's nearly impossible to make one,

let alone a good one, let alone a classic in its genre

beloved by many, many millions of people that I think had a famously

terrible production. Maybe not terrible. A troubled production. I'm one of your hosts, Lizzie,

I don't know if it's because the hype around it was so high, and people love this movie so much. And all you hear is like, Marty McFly this, Marty McFly that. And I watched it and I was like, that's it. You know, as Peggy Lee said, is that all there is?

But I actually... this, Marty McFly, that. And I watched it and I was like, that's it? You know, as Peggy Lee said,

is that all there is? But I actually enjoyed it a lot more upon rewatching it for the podcast.

Obviously, I know there's a very famous little switcheroo that happens that I'm excited to learn

more about in terms of the casting in this movie. And I was thinking a lot
