049 - Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey


Listen Later

We embark on a most excellent (or is it bogus?) journey through the 1991 sequel 'Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey'. In this episode, we navigate the film's convoluted plot, questionable special effects, and inexplicable alien geniuses. Liz reveals her long-standing dislike for the movie, while Scott finds it entertainingly goofy. Together, we dive into fascinating behind-the-scenes information from a documentary about the film's making.

Join us as we:

  • Debate the merits of challenging Death to various board games (Battleship, anyone?)
  • Question the logic of evil robot doppelgangers who can't keep their plans secret
  • Ponder the temporal paradoxes created by Bill and Ted's time-traveling shenanigans
  • Discuss the surprising number of films shot at the Donald C. Tillman Water Reclamation Plant
  • Try to understand why anyone thought a Martian scientist with a huge butt was comedic gold
  • Despite the movie's shortcomings, we agree that William Sadler's portrayal of Death is the saving grace of this sequel. We also touch on the upcoming third film in the franchise, wondering how it will address the timeline issues created by this installment.

    Will Liz's hatred for the movie be softened by the behind-the-scenes knowledge? Can Scott convince her of its entertainment value? How many dumpsters does this bogus journey truly deserve? And most importantly, will we ever figure out what 'Station' means? Tune in for a most non-heinous discussion of this cult classic sequel!
