Back to the Future Day: October 21 2015 #BTTF

Charge up the flux capacitor and hit the gas… it’s October 21, 2015.

In the 1985 Sci Fi film Back to the Future, that is the date Doc Emmet sets as the destination in his Delorian time machine at the end of the film.

In the sequel, Back to the Future 2, he returns from thirty years ahead and invites Marty McFly to join him on another journey to ‘save the future.’
 

 

In 2015 Marty finds a world of hoverboards, virtual reality glasses, video phones, social media, 3D movies and smart watches.

Some radio stations have this month themed their activities to celebrate the 30 year old film.

In Newcastle, KOFM had a Delorian on show in a recent promo.

 

 

93.5 Star FM Dubbo’s Chris & Juelz paid tribute by going back to 1985 with their own ‘Back to the Future’ 1985 edition of Scoopla. Take a listen here.

And social media is full of #BTTF and #BacktotheFuture references as the world wakes up to October 21st across various time zones.
