"This was such a good introduction to sampling, and the idea that modern music could be made from the past. It inspired me in a big way. I applied to Harvard, and I wrote an essay about Endtroducing. It was based around the idea that bringing things together in this way could be applied to all art forms. I went to Columbia University because I knew I wanted to go to a school that was academically rigorous. I prided myself on getting good grades but I also hated it. I used to wonder why I was busting my ass at calculus when I was interested in the arts, but I felt that there was a relationship between working hard at school and taking your dreams seriously. I still think that if you're excited about something, you have to work at it."

I really loved this film! It was my first time watching it and I thought it was super good! I am a sucker for the 80s, especially in film so I'm not entirely surprised I loved this one but I'm super happy I did. I definitely want to finish this series and I'm excited to see where it goes!

I enjoyed the characters a lot, I think Marty is my favorite, duh. But I also really loved that they embraced the change between the '50s and the '80s. I loved that Doc talks about what it was like to be where the mall was before it was a mall and then we see it happen. I like the details like that. Same with Marty's neighborhood.

Overall, I think this film is a great watch and definitely one I'll come back to!
