Back to the Future Part II

Back to the Future Part II

Posted on March 22, 2026

Started: March 18, 2026
Finished: March 22, 2026

Of course I had to read this while also doing a 31-day podcast about it! I’d never read this before, but I know the movie backwards and forwards (or should I saw past, present and future?), so it was fun to go through the story of the movie and notice the slight differences or included scenes that didn’t make the final film.

Then of course I went back to re-listen to an episode of the I Read Movie podcast that talks about both sequels. I read the novelization for Part III years ago (for my same March long podcast, Marchy McFly) and since Craig Shaw Gardner wrote both of them, they were very similar in tone.

I’m not 100% sure I ever read the original novelization fully. I remember starting it – but I am not sure I ever finished it. That just wouldn’t be acceptable today, ha! Maybe someday.
