Ep 249: "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure" Revisited
Listen now
Description
Dudes, babes, and Napoleon were among the cast of characters of the 1989 hit, Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure. Alex Winter and Keanu Reeves played the titular dimwitted duo with a radical relish that audiences ate up. But now, decades later, does this adventure feel more dim than witted? Is celebrating ignorance something better left in the 1980's? And what is George Carlin doing in this sci-fi slapstick spectacle? The Old Roommates hop in their podcast booth, hit 1-9-8-9 and revisit all the history and hysteria through their middle-aged lens. Listen to this.
