In this time-traveling installment of What If I Don’t Like It?, Kt Baldassaro sits down with Lisa Ponce to unravel her love for the iconic Back to the Future franchise—well, most of it. While Lisa passionately celebrates the brilliance of parts 1 and 3, there’s a surprising twist: she’s never seen part 2!

Why the gap in her cinematic journey? What makes the first and third films so special to her? And does skipping the middle chapter change the way she views the story as a whole? Together, Kt and Lisa explore the nostalgia, characters, and quirks of this beloved series while questioning whether Back to the Future Part 2 can live up to its counterparts—or if it’s better left unwatched.

Grab your flux capacitor and tune in for a fun, thought-provoking conversation that’s perfect for fans and skeptics alike!
