Reunited Apart isn’t something of which I was aware until now, but it’s an online series that showcases charities working to provide resources during the lockdown. Hosted by Josh Gad (yes, that one), each episode also reunites (virtually) the cast and crew of classic movies.
The first of these featured The Goonies (1985), which by some miracle I’ve never seen.
However, the subject of the second episode is Back to the Future (1985) and its sequels, which I most definitely have seen and rather love. In it, Gad and co manage to bring together stars Michael J Fox, Christopher Lloyd, Lea Thompson, Mary Steenburgen and Elisabeth Shue, as well as director Robert Zemeckis, writer Bob Gale, and… Huey Lewis!
I’m Rob Buckley, a journalist who writes for UK media magazines that most people have never heard of although you might have heard me on the podcast Lockdown Land or Radio 5 Live’s Saturday Edition or Afternoon Edition. I’ve edited Dreamwatch, Sprocket and Cambridge Film Festival Daily; been technical editor for TV producers magazine Televisual; reviewed films for the short-lived newspaper Cambridge Insider; written features for the even shorter-lived newspaper Soho Independent; and was regularly sarcastic about television on the blink-and-you-missed-it “web site for urban hedonists” The Tribe. Since going freelance, I've contributed to the likes of Broadcast, Total Content + Media, Action TV, Off The Telly, Action Network, TV Scoop and The Custard TV.
