Finally getting confirmation that Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter will reunite as Ted “Theordore” Logan and Bill S. Preston Esq for Bill & Ted Face the Music was pure joy. What we’ve heard about the script from original creators Chris Matheson and Ed Solomon over the years has sounded great, and getting Dean Parisot of Galaxy Quest fame to direct is the perfect choice. You can just feel that this will be the fun, positive movie that we all need right now.

Honestly, I can’t believe that it took this long to green-light a film that checks so many boxes for a successful film these days – Keanu Reeves, time travel, sequels, and nostalgia to name a few. On that note, you may feel that sense of nostalgia for Bill & Ted, but your memory of the first two films is a bit fuzzy. If it’s been nearly 30 years or more since you last checked in with Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure and Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey, you might need a bit of a refresher.

The synopsis for both films are as follows:
“Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure finds our non-heinous heroes (Alex Winter and Keanu Reeves) in danger of flunking History โ a most odious proposition! But when the righteous Rufus (George Carlin) arrives in a time-traveling phone booth, the dense dudes discover their destinyโฆ and call on the past’s biggest names for help!“
“In Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey, the titular time travelers aren’t making history โ they are history! When an evil-doer from the future sends eviller robot twins of Bill & Ted to assassinate and replace good, non-robot Bill & Ted, the guys wind up face to face with the Grim Reaper (William Sadler)! Can the now-dead duo escape, defeat their evil doppelgangers, and win their Battle of the Bands contest?“
