As much as everyone adores the Back to the Future trilogy, it rates pretty high on the unintentional comedy scale. There are flubs, over the top performances and awkward lines of dialogue across all three films making them great to watch with a bunch of friends. This weekend, a special live USTREAM broadcast will let you do just that. It’s called the Secret Show to the Future 2 and it happens at 10 p.m. EST November 5.

In 2008, several members of the Sirius XM’s Opie and Anthony show did the first Secret Show to the Future, where they watched Robert Zemeckis’ 1985 film complete with live comedy commentary in the tradition of Mystery Science Theater 3000. This Saturday brings the sequel. Anthony Cumia of the O&A Show, producer Danny Ross and comedian Joe DeRosa, all huge fans of the films, will watch Back to the Future Part II live and provide an evil genius commentary that simultaneously pays homage to the film while exaggerating its short comings.

But that’s not it. To commemorate this momentous occasion, one of our favorite poster artists, Tim Doyle, has created a very limited edition poster with all proceeds from its sale going towards Michael J. Fox’s Parkinson’s research charity, TeamFox.

An awesome movie with free, hilarious commentary as well as a limited edition poster for charity? That’s heavy. Read more and see the exclusive reveal of the poster after the jump. Read More »

Cool Stuff: Back to the Future 2 Concept Art

Back to the Future 2 Concept Art

Anyone who regularly reads /Film should know that I’m a huge fan of Back to the Future (it’s my favorite movie of all time, my computer sits underneath a replica of the Flux Capacitor and a signed poster from the original film). Io9 discovered some original concept art from Back to the Future Part 2 on Point Lint, some of which I’ve never seen before. I especially love the detailing that went into the future gadgets. There is even a drawing of a Kodak disc reader which appears to be the original version of the Sports Almanac. Check out the art in the gallery after the jump.
