Good News, Everyone! the Voice of Professor Farnsworth and Fry Channels 'Back to the Future' in Hilarious Mashup Video
As if you need more reason to adore anything related to Back to the Future.
As if you need more reason to adore anything related to Back to the Future, the good folks over at Nerdist have got you covered. Billy West, best known for his voicework on Futurama, recently appeared on the Nerdist series Talkin' Toons. The veteran voice actor was given a snippet from the classic 1985 film that featured Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) attempting to convince Doc Brown (Christopher Lloyd) that he's from the future.
West channeled his #Futurama characters of Professor Farnsworth and Philip J. Fry to recreate the scene and if Paulsen's giggles are any indication, West managed to pull it off flawlessly.
For those interested in comparing West's hysterical interpretation to the actual scene, check out the clip below and you'll see just how fitting each respective Futurama character is with their BTTF counterpart:
While it's virtually impossible to imagine anyone but Michael J. Fox as Marty or Christopher Lloyd as Doc Brown, listening to what could be with Fry and Farnsworth at the helm of the time-traveling tale is a prospect I am more than okay with. West's enthusiasm in the clip syncs perfectly with the actual scene and I can certainly picture the good Professor rocking Doc's monstrous mind-reading contraption.

Another Fox series, Family Guy, has has their own sci-fi parody success with their take on the Star Wars franchise, so I am all for West and crew potentially reprising their beloved animated roles for a Back to the Futurama (you're welcome, Hollywood) series.

The Pearl by John Steinbeck
‘The Pearl’ is a well-known by under-read classic and, as a teacher, many of my students have absolutely loved it. Not just because it is short, but because it presents a storyline that is interesting and corrupting. Easy to read and easier to analyse, ‘The Pearl’ is one of Steinbeck’s hardest hitting classics with an underlying message about protecting what is actually important. By the end of the book, the reader is left defeated and believing in the wrong thing. The idealism around this book is incredible and it is so dark too. For a long while you are supporting the wrong people, thinking in the wrong way and the whole story becomes one long act of misdirection by Steinbeck to show in a ‘Monkey’s Paw’ fashion why we should never chase wealth and status.

Showcase of the Immortals
The electricity of WrestleMania surges through floorboards and foldable chairs straight to the core of the thousands of fans in attendance. It is somehow intimate and communal all at once. It sustains the body to withstand the freezing cold. Chants reverberating so boisterously they bounce off the clouds. Opposing chants interjecting in response, so there's a dance in the ring and out of the ring.
