00:00SNL sets its second at-home episode, Pokemon is headed to Netflix, and the screenwriter of

00:04Back to the Future is settling a debate once and for all. The first Saturday Night Live will air

00:08its second at-home episode on April 25th. The show made the announcement Thursday with this

00:13video on Twitter. The first SNL at-home episode featuring cast members remotely filming sketches

00:24aired on April 11th and pulled in SNL's second-best same-day ratings of the season. Next, Netflix

00:30has caught them all. The streaming giant has secured rights to be the exclusive home of new

00:34episodes of the Pokemon animated franchise in the U.S., beginning with the first 12 episodes of

00:40Pokemon Journeys, the 23rd season of the show, on June 12th. New episodes will be added quarterly.

00:46What I want is to catch a Pokemon that nobody has seen before.

00:50Finally, a Back to the Future mystery has been solved. A heated debate about an apparent major

01:00plot hole in the 1985 film, why don't mom and dad remember Marty, or Calvin, recently reignited

01:06on social media, with both filmmaker James Gunn and actor Chris Pratt weighing in. But now screenwriter

01:11Bob Gale is closing the case for good. THR's Neha Joy has more. Gale, the screenwriter for

01:16Back to the Future, settled the debate once and for all on Wednesday, telling the Hollywood

01:19reporter, bear in mind that George and Lorraine only knew Marty Calvin for six days when they

01:24were 17, and they did not even see him every one of those six days. So many years later,

01:29they still might remember that interesting kid who got them together on their first date.

01:33The screenwriter goes on to say that not a lot of people will remember every passing person

01:37from their high school years, especially if it had been 25 years and no photo reference.

01:41Gale concluded saying, so Lorraine and George might think it's funny that they once actually

01:45met someone named Calvin Klein, and even if they thought their son at age 16 or 17 had

01:50some resemblance to him, it wouldn't be a big deal. Case closed. For more on all these stories,
