Ep98 – Kicking Off The Year With Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure

Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure

Today we are discussing the 1989 cult classic Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure. Stephen Derek directed the film and written by film school chums Chris Matheson and Ed Solomon. The film is about two rock n rolling teens who are at risk of failing history class. They take the opportunity to use a time machine to go back and bring back historical figures for the ultimate history presentation. Arizona was the set for many of the locations. The 10 million dollar film’s dialogue includes 70 occasions of “dude” and “excellent” is dropped 30 times. 

Ted: [both get served beers in a saloon bar] Whoa. He didn’t even card us, dude.

Bill: Yeah, we have to remember this place.

• The spacious phone booth
• Classic indie film
• The evolution of the film
• More Montage!!
