First came Raiders of the Lost Ark. Then came the shot-for-shot remake made by a group of boys looking to stay out of trouble. Then came the documentary about their efforts. Now, the history of the "Greatest Fan Film Ever Made" comes to a conclusion on an obscure Canadian podcast.

For all of its memorable gadgets, Back to the Future Part II's future is bleak, pessimistic, and familiar.
