They’re now middle-aged and no longer remotely famous, and the song that would save the world they were always supposedly destined to write has yet to materialise. (Alex Winter) and Ted ‘Theodore’ Logan ( Keanu Reeves) are coming to terms with the fact that they might not, in fact, have been the most important people in the universe after all. And so 30 years later, give or take, we have Bill & Ted Face the Music – in which Bill S Preston, Esq. Released respectively in 19, the time-travelling duo’s Excellent Adventure and Bogus Journey today feel like relics of another era – one in which a premise that positioned two dim white male American teens as not just the dead centre of the cosmos but its outright saviours wouldn’t have been shredded on social media faster than you can say “Be excellent to each other, and party on, dudes”.īut even a time machine disguised as a telephone box can’t stop the march of history. The Bill & Ted films are nobody’s idea of serious cultural milestones, yet three decades ago they unquestionably captured something of the sunny inanity of the age. Dir: Dean Parisot Starring: Keanu Reeves, Alex Winter, Samara Weaving, Brigette Lundy-Paine, Kristen Schaal, Anthony Carrigan, Holland Taylor.
