Summary
In this episode of the show we are closing our March string of 80's sci-fi comedies (and the entire quarter called Fantastic Winter) with an excellent and bodacious conversation about Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure . Over the course of our chat you will hear us talk about how this movie stands a little bit to the side of the comedy mainstream of the late 80's, how it synthesizes many traditions and lays the groundwork for many other works to draw from. We discuss its impact on the so-called "slacker generation," how it's mostly watched for its excellent vibes, how the two protagonists are just nice all around and how, against all odds, the film's relationship with its own time travel logic is much more rigorous than meets the eye.
