As I mentioned on the last Josh Gad video, one of the better parts of everyone being in quarantine is that celebrities aren’t too busy to say no to doing interviews, and more importantly having reunions online, since no one has to leave the house. A few weeks ago, Gad, who already famously got some of the biggest names in Hollywood to troll Daisy Ridley about STAR WARS secrets for online entertainment, trumped them all with a new online show of sorts called “Reunited Apart”, and his big premiere episode brought back together the entire principal cast of THE GOONIES, along with key crew members and even Steven Spielberg and Cyndi Lauper. This week he’s done it again, now with the cast of BACK TO THE FUTURE, or at least most of them. Actors Michael J. Fox, Christopher Lloyd, Lea Thompson, Elisabeth Shue, and Mary Steenburgen join the fun, along with director Robert Zemeckis, writer Bob Gale, score composer Alan Silvestri, and the one and only Huey Lewis. Original “Jennifer” Claudia Wells also appears at the end, since apparently she was having some audio difficulties, and there’s a surprise guest in JJ Abrams, who proclaims himself a BACK TO THE FUTURE superfan. Noticeably absent are Tom Wilson (who played Biff) and Crispin Glover (who played George McFly), though the latter doesn’t look back on the franchise too fondly after contract disputes prevented him from being in the sequels. Gad even got the entire cast of the BACK TO THE FUTURE musical to sing “Power of Love” to end the show, which was pretty cool. Check out the full video below, in which you’ll heard the cast recite some of your favorite lines, and hear their thoughts on a potential sequel.
