Congratulations on having once watched Akira and Iron Giant and Back to the Future. High fives to everybody who remembers those Tears for Fears and Twisted Sister tracks. And big thumbs up to everyone who recognizes the name Zemeckis, and can spot a Beetlejuice suit, and who knows where Faber College is located (in Animal House). Have we got a movie for you.
I don’t mean to be snotty. Fandom is fun, and probably all of us have staked out little swaths of pop-culture history for the enjoyment of ourselves and our fellow cultists. But it’s hard not to be a little annoyed by a picture that seeks to salute its audience for something as passive as pop-culture consumption—as if the accrual of vintage minutia were some sort of achievement, writes Kurt Loder.
