No, I’m afraid I’m not going to be talking about the Whoopie Goldberg movie, but instead a film that I found to be a very successful sequel to an already solid achievement in monumental filmmaking. Of course, I could only be talking about Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey. We only recently received a copy of this movie, and I only remembered foggy blips of it from the last time I saw it, but with my owning Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure, I knew I had to give this movie a fresh spin (in my DVD player, that is… HAHAHAHALOLROFLTH)

So anyway, Bill and Ted are pretty well-known as the masterfully 80s spaced-out slacker teens played by Keanu Reeves and the legendary Alex Winter, who not only reprises his award-winning role of Bill S. Preston, Esq., but also that of Granny Preston. While the first Bill & Ted film, Excellent Adventure, delved into the heavily controversial topic of time travel, and featured appearances by Socrates and Beethoven, Bogus Journey travels down darker roads, where evil Bill and Ted cybernetic organisms are sent back in time to terminate the two future-rockstars whose music is destined to one day unite the world. Do Bill and Ted make it out of this “hell” of a situation? Spoiler alert, they totally don’t. They go to Hell. Which is why I used the quotation marks around “hell”… See, I did it again.

So if you, like me, are curious what happens to Bill and Ted in the deep depthy depths of the underworld of non-living death, you should probably check out Bill and Ted’s Bogus Journey. It may not be on par with sequels like Terminator 2 or The Dark Knight, but maybe it is…
