During the COVID-19 quarantine, three friends and I decided to make a weekly ritual of watching critically panned movies. The only criteria being that they had to have really low Metacritic and Rotten Tomatoes scores. And with that, hilarity ensued as the four of us texted each other in a group text and mocked the movies we watched together. So far, we’ve watched Blank Check, Mortal Kombat, Bloodsport, Sidekicks, No Holds Barred, The Main Event, Countdown (2016), Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III, Batman & Robin, You (the Netflix series), and Gotti.

Well, I finished it.

I actually finished a modern video game not named Legend of Zelda for the first time in a long while, although I usually go out of my way to finish any Final Fantasy game (okay, I haven’t finished XII, XIII, or XV yet).

Back to the Future is 35 years old, making your resident reviewer resort to new ways to seem younger than a majority of his favorite films. We all know Back to the Future and everything that comes with it; Marty, Doc, Biff, George, Lorraine, the DeLorean, Einstein, as well as Huey Lewis and the News. It’s a timeless flick… uh... pun somewhat intended.

Okay, I’m going to admit it, this MIGHT be my favorite Batman movie, but I can’t honestly explain why. Is it because it’s a Jim Carrey movie that just happens to have Batman in it? Is it because it has the hottest movie soundtrack of the 90s featuring Seal, U2, and the Offspring? It is because Val Kilmer plays perhaps the dumbest Batman of all time? Or is it because it’s the movie that made Nicole Kidman my first celebrity crush? Maybe all of the above?
