    If he started when he was born, he has seen them over 3 times a day on average. 5000+, sure. 50000+? Not a chance.

      I mean, possibly? Autism can indeed manifest as something extreme. And whose to say it spread evenly? Maybe on his bad day he can watch 5 back-to-back or 3 with breaks in between

      Edit: Out of curiosity I tried to search the movie duration (keyword: back to the future movie duration) and got 1h 56m.

      So, 116 minute × 50.000 = 5.800.000 minutes 5.800.000/(60×24×365)≈11 years

        11 years is doable in 41. 8 years before he heard of back to the future, leaves 33 years. Split the day up into 8 hours of sleep, 8 hours of back to the future, and 8 hours of anything else, that becomes 11 years of each.

      40 * 365 * 3 = 43,800. So, not that far off?

      edit: nevermind, I misunderstood what you were getting at
