They also critique the character of Doc Brown for his reckless “Silicon Valley-esque” scientific approach, and unpack the flawed sexual politics ascribed to the lead female character, Lorraine Baines McFly. \nA rough transcript of the episode is available here.\nFor next week’s movie, MVC will be watching Michael Cimino’s epic Western Heaven’s Gate.\nLinks mentioned:\nThe Education Myth: How Human Capital Trumped Social Democracy (Cornell University Press, 2023)\nThe Goldie Wilson Conspiracy (Yo!
