What BBN said about it

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentA Swagger Exposed Shorts video on how Back to the Future Part II made its hoverboard has passed five point eight million views, and it's number seven on YouTube's U.S. comedy trending chart.

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorA board that floats. I've never seen one, and I already don't like it.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentWe only know the title and the description, so I'm freezing it right here, and watch the board's whole job: look like it's not touching anything.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentThat's elite.

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorSo something is holding it up.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentTurning point: the making-of shows the trick. And Zemeckis built it, same as Soderbergh just stepped in to finish Batman.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentBoth are guys off camera holding it up.

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorEverything's held up by somebody, Kenji, until they let go.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentFinal score: nine out of ten. Minus one for the floor, because it never shows up in the credits.
