It’s been two years since William “Bill” S. Preston Esq. and Theodore “Ted” Logan traveled back in time in a phonebooth for their school history report and the duo is about to win the San Dimas battle of the bands with their group Wyld Stallyns.
If they win, it will create a distant future utopian society that at least one person isn’t happy with. And that person sends some Bill and Ted robots to the past to kill Bill and Ted and prevent the creation of this ideal future. End result: Bill and Ted are dead and must navigate the perils, pitfalls and comedies of hell before trying to return to the mortal realm to save the world.
The dudes from The Cinema Guys podcast will be on hand to introduce the film and hold a Q&A discussion afterward so you can ask questions like, “Why was a sequel even made to Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure?” This may be one of the only times you can see this 1991 classic on the big screen again.
10 p.m. Friday (Nov. 9). $10 adult; $7.50 senior/child. Esquire Theatre, 320 Ludlow Ave., Clifton, esquiretheatre.com.
