Fans and brands alike are excited about the 30th anniversary of Back to the Future, the film that started the classic time-traveling trilogy starring Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd. Pepsi confirmed Monday that it had created Pepsi Perfect, the beverage Marty (Fox) ordered when he journeyed to Oct. 21, 2015 in Back to the Future Part II.

The special edition soda will be available for online purchase on the very BTTF-significant date of Oct. 21. Only 6,500 Pepsi Perfect bottles — which will come in a collectible case — will be sold to fans in the United States. Each 16.9-ounce bottle will be filled with Pepsi and be priced at $20.15.

Not all Back to the Future lovers will have to wait till Oct. 21 to get their hands on Pepsi Perfect, though. The special edition beverage will be a gift for certain lucky (and dedicated) Comic Con fans starting on Oct. 8. The venue, New York City’s Javits Center, will have a Pepsi Perfect world, including a Café 80’s inspired booth featuring a DeLorean and Wild Gunman arcade game. The first 200 fans who show up at the Pepsi Perfect Booth (#CP101) dressed in full Marty McFly regalia will be rewarded with the special edition Pepsi.

Not just any McFly imitation outfit will do; fans must be wearing a puffy red vest or Back to the Future Part II jacket, blue jeans, white high-top sneakers, and a watch. If you have a hoverboard, that’s awesome but not required. The film’s special Nike MAG shoes aren’t a must either, but they’d add some serious authenticity. For those who’d rather show off their Wild Gunman skills, fans can play at the booth at 3 p.m. every day for a chance to win Pepsi Perfect.

“Pepsi fans asked and we heard them loud and clear,” said Lou Arbetter, Senior Director of Marketing of PepsiCo in a press release. “The Back to the Future trilogy was as big a moment in pop culture history then as it is now, 30 years later.”

Pepsi hyped its new special edition bottle on Twitter on Monday, saying, “The future is now.”

Watch Pepsi Perfect make its debut in Back to the Future Part II below.

The most surprising horror movie of the decade is streaming now on Hulu
Georgina Campbell stands in an Airbnb in Barbarian.

It's hard to genuinely surprise moviegoers these days. Many of them have seen too many movies. They know the ropes too well. That has especially become the case with certain horror genres. How does someone even try to reinvent the slasher thriller in the year 2024? Or the haunted house movie? There are too many well-known tropes now, and a lot of movies understandably try to focus less on surprising their viewers and more on exceeding their expectations in different ways.

But then there are films that still make unpredictability look shockingly easy. Perhaps no movie of the 2020s so far has done that as well as Barbarian. The horror film from writer-director Zach Cregger came seemingly out of nowhere in the late summer of 2022 and quickly garnered a reputation for being a thriller that you should go into knowing as little about as possible. That's because Barbarian is, to put it incredibly simply, a wild ride unlike any other horror movie in recent memory.

If you have to watch one Netflix movie in October, stream this one
The cast of The Nest.

In part because its goal is to have something for everyone, few streaming services are more awash with movies of all kinds than Netflix this fall season. While checking out all the available titles on the streaming service, you might find yourself suffering from crippling indecision about which ones you should prioritize and which ones to avoid.

If you just want one movie that you should definitely make time for, then we've selected just the movie for you. The Nest was released in 2020 in the midst of the pandemic, and as a result, it flew under the radar. It tells the story of a crumbling marriage that is falling apart largely because the father in the family is in serious debt. Here are three reasons you should check it out in October.

25 years ago, one of the saddest action movies ever made dazzled moviegoers
Terence Stamp in The Limey.

Few directors were on a bigger hot streak from 1998 to 2001 than Steven Soderbergh. The director, who has long been known for his willingness to invent, started that run with Out of Sight, and then made Erin Brockovich, Traffic, and Ocean's Eleven. Nestled in the middle of that run, though, is The Limey, a smaller, pricklier movie than any of the others on that list.

The film tells the story of an English ex-con named Wilson who comes to Los Angeles after hearing that his daughter died under mysterious circumstances. The movie's plot is actually remarkably simple, as Wilson storms his way through Los Angeles's criminal underworld, determined to figure out what happened. Here are five reasons the movie is worth checking out 25 years later.
The movie is reckoning with the 1960s
