- Mike and Jay face the music and review the new 30-ish years later Bill and Ted sequel. Once again, they are joined by their very special guest, the noisy cricket. That guy just loves sitting in on their discussions!

I don't know what it is, but Mike looks really handsome this episode.
That's because he's a goof-a-ball
he's one wild stallion for sure
It's that beard ♥
You look handsome levison
i think the lockdown weight gain has done him some good, he always looked like he needed a few extra pounds
Despite all the controversy, I'm glad they recast Mike Stoklasa, he was looking increasingly senile, repeatedly mumbling about Star Trek
I would actually watch that, though: just Mike telling Jay, ‘you know, they already did this in Voyager’.
Mike Stoklasa is the Joe Biden of RedLetterMedia.
Mike Stoklasa likes Star Trek?
@@johnferguson4869 So you'd watch RLM is what you're saying lol
Its like when they ditched Kes in Star Trek : Voyager and replaced her with 7 of 9.
"It's an okay movie."
-Jay Bauman
That should be the only endorsement they need on the dvd case
actually, I kinda like the idea that their daughters were in Hell for 30-something years, but they’re just so naturally upbeat and cheerful that it never got them down much
I thought that was the idea too, but the other characters that went with them also acted like no time has passed. It would've been so funny if the daughters acted all cheerful and happy and then another character walked up, looking all miserable, yelling about having been in hell for so long.
@@Katyamuffin YES! And that's how you write jokes, you fucks!
That's what I thought too. Fits so perfect for funnies.
It's supposed to be boys not girls I watch bogus journey a few times
I'm no gynecologist, but I don't think that's Mike.
That’s either famous Hollywood celebrity Rich Evans or mike suddenly became really handsome
OOOOOOOOF
I mean, Mike is great and all but have you seen Dick the Birthday Boy? (Edited)
Ophtohawgist*
@@jereXIX thats dick the birthday boy thank you very much.
Jay has absolutely mastered his "caveman staring into the fire" look.
First perfected in the Prometheus review
I thought it was his "Keanu on a parkbench eating a sandwich" look.
He looks like an extra from Quest For Fire.
His hair looks fantastic.
I thought it was his "gazing long into the abyss" look
Keanu Reeves sounds like someones dad trying to do an impression of Ted.
I was going to say that that's exactly what it was, but then I looked up whether Keanu Reeves had kids and now I'm sad
Ted's Dad did a pretty excellent impression of Ted.
@@judasboogie yes
Everyone is overthinking this. Keanu Reeves just don't smile anymore.
He simply had youthful energy and after going through some personal stuff he isn't the same
"It´s a series about these two dumb but good-natured guys who go on fantastical adventures."
Richard Evans about "Half in the bag"
...good natured?
@@elowin1691 it is two friends being there for each other while taking care of an old man's property. So they are good-natured indeed!
@@CanadianVampireProd They were just a couple of songwriters who came to Ishtar to break into show business...
I'm glad Mike has started taking care of himself, he is looking much healthier and virile.
This is what he looks like sober.
Praise the lord, he finally stopped drinking
He traded the bottle for a TUMS festival
He looks much richer. (Get it?)
This comment gave me big larfs
The guy who played Bill in the embarrassing 1992 Bill and Ted TV series is named Evan Richards. Think about that.
Just looked it up. This is the most excellent level of stupid coincidence that I expect from RLM.
Very Cool, I wouldn't have looked it up myself.
Its like POETRY!
Rich couldn't even say his name right...
Isn’t Evan Richards the legal representative of RLM, expert in occupational and recreational asbestos exposure and groinular injury related litigation
Something’s not right with Mike... he didn’t mention Star Trek even once.
The Bill & Ted franchise involves a lot of time travel, and that's not topic that comes up in the Star Trek franchise.
Plus Mike wasn't sipping coffee or wodka out of a weird mug... i think he's been replaced by a Martian clone. 🙃
@@adrianhetmanski1832 so the martian manhunter is Mike, confirmed?
Professor Snape looks strange without his robes.
Mike, depressed that Shatner hates him, took his own life and had to be recast.
And then cackled from the afterlife when his bargain bin replacement went, "Because I'm Mike!"
he haunts the studio to get Rich to call Ghost Adventures. just as planned
@@gabrieltsgardner9942 abandoned and burnt down Wendys
@@onelividguardsman5681 DUDE RUN!!!!!
- Zak Bagans
Eventually both of them will be replaced by Rich talking to himself and mispronouncing words
Also correcting himself, but the corrections are also wrong
I can dream
And laughing out loud
Heh. Wait a minute..... if Rich is Mike then that means Mike must be Plinkett right now and is working on a Plinkett ROS review!
"That's dwight, Jabe!"
The thing they discuss about Keanu not being 'that guy' anymore is probably truer than they realise. Between 1999 and 2001, his daughter was stillborn and he was in a horrific car accident that killed his partner. That clearly shook him to his core - he has been much more introverted ever since.
Behind the scenes facts: The role of Mike Stoklaza is played by celebrity guest star Richard Evans.
Stoklasa
It took seven minutes to make.
@@radoslawszymula6560 Schtoklaszha
Keanu Reeves does not look ageless without a beard
Pretty sure some of it was makeup explicitly designed accentuating his age.
He looks like a chief of a reservation without the beard.
The only person in the world to look older WITHOUT a beard...lol
@@ravenshrike No. He's 55. He looks like a guy in his late 40s - early 50s that takes care of himself. They don't need to make his face look 40+ when he already looks 40+.
for sure. its kinda crazy how big of a difference that makes.
At last, Mike has finally completed his plan and merged with Rich Evans' body.
I watched b&tftm, im really proud of myself. Didnt even hate life afterwards, i felt feelings
Mike Stoklasa is the most powerful scanner in existence.
Master Mikehanort
@J. Curtis Strickland God damn it I was coming to make that joke. Now my morning is ruined...
Don't you mean merged with Mr. Plinkett? 🤔
The "cave that looks like a face" in Hell is a reference to an awesome polish painter named Zdzisław Beksiński. It's hilarious because his art is terrifying and inspired by the horrors of living through WWII in Poland, so whoever thought to put this recreation in a Bill and Ted movie of all things is a genius and a madman.
Thought I was the only one that noticed 🦉
Beksiński really is a genius.
I was hoping someone caught that!
have you by any chance seen Astartes? it's a short film series on youtube and it takes clear inspiration from his work too. If you're a fan of Beksiński you'll probably like it
Too bad they didn’t use more of that genius on the script. Face The Music was an unnecessary snoozer.
The fact that Ted almost never smiles in this movie is proof that Sad Keanu isn't just a meme.
I mean, can you blame the guy? His real life story is tragic and heartbreaking but also inspiring as to how someone so famous can deal with so much awful shit but still be a huge megastar celebrity whilst remaining grounded and down to earth and just living his life quietly using public transport and living in a small flat and giving away most of his movie money to others.
@@NateTheScot youre right, Cyberpunk 2077 release was a real tragedy, could have break anyone
But Keanu smiles in all the interviews for it though. He ain't sad. It's like someone (or studio?) put pressure on him to be serious in this film to not contradict his John Wick persona perhaps?

“You kinda have to have lower expectations, this isn’t a Star Wars” is a bold claim to make post prequel AND sequel trilogy, Jay
Yeah I've been approaching star wars with low expectations since I saw the special editions as a kid
I dunno, those big, empty CGI spaces they were walking through really reminded me of the prequel scenes where people would walk and talk.
@@nivekleveb8872 minus the genndy tv series, of course

@@funkybunko That's Mike, silly
Everybody mentioning Mike being more handsome, but nothing about Jay's transition into David Spade.
Yah if he whacks that hair back one more time.. somebody might loose an eye
Jay is trying too hard though.
In times like this there's no need to be cruel.
Are you implying on the next half in the bag, Jay is gonna turn into a llama?
Is Rich Evans replacing Paul Blart: Subplart?
Keanu: Father abandons him at 11. Sister gets leukemia. Best friend dies of an overdose. Stillborn daughter. Wife dies in a car crash. "Grief changes shape, but it never leaves me."
Jay: "Looks like he's struggling to smile!"
We all go through stuff. Why's he still letting that hold him back after all these years? If thats the case then maybe his should have gone to counselling or therapy and chose a different career. Not good to carry personal issues that long. I always hoped he'd improve in acting. Thats just the way he is unfortunately.
@@mpeacraft8585 Yeah, why did Keanu Reeves, star of The Matrix trilogy and titular star of the John Wick series, not choose a different career? He'd have found some actual success, maybe.
UliaAB It only works because his characters from those movies are stoic and don’t require much expression.
@@mpeacraft8585 Being able to portray stoicism and people suffering from grief and depression are extremely valuable acting tools. You don't have to be happy go lucky to be an actor, just a really bizarre take.
UliaAB True but having range is more important. Put him next to Tom Hardy. See whose better.
RLM is unironically selling me on watching this movie
It’s awful save your money
It isnt good
If you aren't already a Bill and Ted fan, you won't get much out of it. I'm a pretty big fan and I thought it was okay, but unlike the previous movies it isn't good enough to ignore the problems it has
I thought it was awful. They really did fuck it up.
@@makasete30 Aw, I've just seen it and I actually unironically liked it, and I'm pretty embittered about most film-making now. At least we both got an RLM video out of it though, huh?
"Is that Mike? He looks a little different"
Credits: Created and Hosted by Mike Stoklasa and Jay Bauman
"Checks out"
Those goof-a-balls
but that's a different guy
He clearly states he is Mike at 34:20
Mike was 47 when Billl and Ted came out, glad to see that he got to view the new one before he passes away.
I'm glad noisy cricket has returned to reprise his role!
As someone who had never seen the bill & ted movies before, I watched them to "prepare" for the new movie. And I am the person they talk about when saying they want to bring it to the new generation. The complaints of it being low budget and not making sense are strange when to me that's a large part of the charm of the series. I'm also not clouded by nostalgia for the first two and don't hold them up as masterpieces as I've seen some reviewers do 😂 that being said, I'm a new bill & ted fan as it's so refreshing to see protagonists who are so positive about everything and never fight. I'd say the movies are all about as good as each other as they all have highpoints and flaws. If they'd never made this movie, I'd probably have never bothered watching the originals but I'm really glad I did. Be excellent to each other. 🤙
"Whoa, dude, you really are from the future!"
As an old fart who watched the first Bill & Ted film in the '90s, I just had to do that, even though it might be considered cringey dad humour.
Glad to see this series works intergenerationally.
Stay excellent, dude!
@@elfsieben1450 lmao my dad showed me these films when I was growing up in the late 90s. Perhaps it's all about the intergenerational time-warping capacity of love and treating one another with respect and care?? Christopher Nolan, I suddenly feel like your movie Interstellar is a conceptual rip off! XD
Party on dudes
Mind if I ask what age you are? I ask as one thing I find odd about young people today is that quite a few of them won't watch anything made before they were born. I imagine both movies (especially the first) would look _very_ dated.
This was fun but honestly I want to hear Rich Evans' opinion on this.
That means Jay has to stop talking 😂😂
Rich is just passive tbh
William Lampke agreed
I understood your joke here.
Rich hasn't been on the show for a while. He's probably out trying to bring about world peace.
Keanu performance seems like Ted has had low key depression for years. He's just tired.
He looks soooo sad...
His fame and wealth aside life really fucked him over with things nobody should have to live with.
The weird thing is you see him in interviews and he's all smiles, so we know he's capable.
I think it was just a weird acting choice where he wanted to appear washed up, like he doesn't have that optimism Young Ted had.
LustyVonSexist I mean he says it in the movie (and trailer) that he’s just tired from all the trying a failing. I felt he was playing up the weight that such high expectation and consistent failure has had on him. they also brought up how he just wasn’t in touch with himself anymore
Flaws and all, to me this movie still has more heart than most mainstream movies nowadays.
If a movie has this much heart and sincerity, it can just be an average movie and still get away with it.
The Keanu Reeves thing reminds me of when Werner Klemperer did a "Colonel Klink" cameo on the Simpsons. Despite being such an iconic roll, he had forgotten how to do the character due to the amount of time since he last played it. The show runners had to find old footage to show him how to do it and practice with him until he could get back into that character.
"Goof-a-balls" has permanently been added to my vocabulary.
I giggle every time I remember this
Mamma mia thems-a spicy goof-a-balls
That's a funny a-goof-a-ball!
One of my favorite parts of the first two movies is, in Bogus Journey, when they propose to the princesses... they say "will you marry us?". No one even bats an eye, and it's great.
Grown up Ted is like the Evil Cooper version of young Ted.
So, I had a good laugh the other day. I was in my car listening to a news radio station, and some commercial ad was playing. I don't even know what the ad was for, but there was this familiar sounding jazz piano music playing in the background. My first thought it was from the Vince Guaraldi, Charlie Brown Christmas soundtrack, then it hit me... "Holy shit, it's the Half in the Bag music!!!!" Made my day.

"The sub-blarp was weak"
- Rich Evans
Fun Fact: Keanu Reeves was a main role (uncredited) in "Freaked" as Ortiz the Dog Boy.
Mike's hair loss progressed hard and fast. Got prettier, though.
Rich and Mike just gave theirs to Jay
I heard on a stormy night.. not so long ago.. in a town like this town... behind the Walmart... Mike was bitten by a Were-Rich Evans.
He lost some weight though.
Cute though. Built good.
Keanu as a person acts like he's turned Ted's stoner-Cali personality into an adult version; he has evolved it into a sort of slackjawed zen. Something respectable in that.
On the other hand, he looks like Neil Breen with a foppy wig.
Thanks, Bro.
I can't unthink that sh1t
He should have never shaved for this role
YES! Neil Breen that's exact! That is how his performance felt in this movie.
Honestly, the robot joke was stupid but got so many laughs out of me. With him apologizing and just saying his name over and over. That shit was hilarious.
I though it was funnier when you realize it's Victor Zsasz from Gotham.

It needed an epilogue
Its demoralizing ‘propaganda’ just like TLJ
Ed Solomon: We cut so much, due to budget. We cut scenes and we cut scope, and sadly, we didn’t really have enough time to shoot it. We had to work pretty quickly because we didn’t have enough money to completely make the movie. Before we started shooting, we lost a series of scenes that, in hindsight, we might miss. We did end up whittling the script down to what people tended to believe were it’s central core elements, simply to make the production schedule and the production budget. We weren’t allowed to have any flights of fancy, or scenes that went off, but didn’t serve the plot. We had to tighten it up. That’s why it’s a 90-minute movie. That was all we could shoot, basically.
Aaaaaand that explains why it doesn't completely suck, most likely!
Honestly, this might have been for the better. Sometimes having constraints fosters creativity more than free reign and a blank check.
@@Luschan Art from adversity
Meanwhile, huge, uncreative piece of shit films and franchises get more money an time than god.
I'm happy with the final product but would've also loved to see the "bigger" version as well. It's a moot point since this is the film they made.
This franchise really is Bill and Ted's Omitted Adventure.
Jay's cosplay of Leon from Resident Evil is looking good.
how about mike's cosplay of barry?
I'm surprised Jay hasn't watched Barry; I think he'd really enjoy it. The character played by the robot actor is fucking phenomenal.
The twist is in Bill and Ted's universe, the past and future coexist simultaneously and effect each other in real time. San Dimas, according to Kristen Schaal's character, is the center of space and time. That's as deep as explanation as you will ever need in a Bill and Ted movie.
Rich: It would be cool if Bill and Ted had a cliche plot about not connecting with their daughters.
Jay: No.
And Jay's right
I agree with Rich. That would have been nice to see.
I hate pointless family drama fluff in movies its always terrible and either unrealistic or not fun to watch cuz it hits to close to home, literally, and they always resolve the plots in the most lazy no shit way like yeah they just needed to talk omg wow, in real life thats either happened but didn't solve anything or they wouldnt suddenly one day decide to talk, like its just a bad thing to write about and then they always try to put it in comedy? Its really a stressful subject its not good comedy material, so yes im very glad they didn't do one of those plots lol
RicoSeattle Why? Sounds like the worst idea of all time.

Mike can never pronounce anything properly, this is proof.
I love watching You Tube clips from the Corona shut downs. It was such a happier, simpler time back then.
In the final scene, when Bill and Ted go into the phone booth, there's a flash of cartoon 80s lighting effect with all the cgi lightning and I really appreciated that.
The daughters never talk to their mothers once in this whole movie.
But the daughters are how you could create a spinoff. Not the forced ghostbusters way.
The Princesses are the most useless characters ever.

But is Mike Stoklasa replacing Rich Evans' diabetes medicine?
It took 12 years
He ate him.
the concept song at the wedding is actually awesome
What a sad state of affairs that we are reminiscing about feel good/positive messages. We really took a wrong turn.
In order for Keanu to become John Wick he needed to remove the “dude” from his soul. But it was too powerful and the dude created a new human vessel which became this actress
Sooooo he pulled a Vergil/Urizen/V from DMCV? dope.
The result being someone I've only seen murdering people in cool ways in other movies as well. Checks out.
Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter patiently waiting for the RLM review to get a "I didn't hate it." so they can tell if it was a success or not
It's not a fuck up.
*EXCELLENT!*
Not a total fuck up.
*Bogus...*
RedLetterMedia videos are such enjoyable, well-edited, well-thought-out, thought-provoking, funny pieces of work that I feel I could select any one of them at random and have an infinitely better experience than if I chose any modern Hollywood movie at random
Mike is off catching up on Star Trek Lower Decks.
"they didn't F it up." is the best review i have heard this year.
They didn't TOTALLY fuck it up.
This is my favorite movie of the year so far. It's so unabashedly optimistic and cute it just makes everything seem like it'll be alright. I was in tears during the climax when everyone was playing music together it was just so so wholesome.
I'm glad we live in a universe with a Bill and Ted Trilogy.
Also I’d love to hear Jay talk more about the Beach Boys, I know he knows a ton lol. Smile is a mystical record.
"Be excellent to each other." The only motto everyone needs to live by.
Party on, dude.
Apparently they cut a scene from the script that explained the time travel issues as time from a different possible future colliding on the main timeline, but they realized how distasteful a Cgi George Carlin would be. Now only if Disney could've learned that lesson.
I feel like they kept the explanation that it is actually POTENTIAL futures they're visiting, but it just gets lost in the frantic speed of the film. Also, my favorite line in the movie that ties in with the explanation: "Oh, I'm also an infinite being now."
@@curtismoore4347 Capped of perfectly with the qualifier, "in case you were wondering." Which no one in the scene has a response to at all.
Thankfully I was actually able to see this movie in the theater. A locally owned large theater in Pennsylvania had it (drove there from NJ) and visually it was a lot better looking on the large screen then on the streaming service.
Y'know, though they cut a bunch of stuff from the script due to the budget, I'm still glad they made it. It has its fun moments and it was nice to see the Stalyns again.
BE2EO&POD!
Jay is literally going through the styles of Captain America
He's gonna be a digitalised old man in a future video, just watch.
Everything except the muscles

Mike's looking a bit different too
Jay has such a good point about how there's no hackneyed internal drama.
The plot made more sense than tenant.

“You kind of have to have lower expectations, this isn’t a Star Wars movie” you must not know how low our expectations for Star Wars have become.
The original trilogy and the sequel trilogy were not excellent to each other.

As much as I like listening to Mike, I really like Jay in the active talking role for a change.

Technically.. I think its a Pretzel.. but. eh.. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ sematics

I love it when a series recasts a main character and doesn't even acknowledge it. Truly the quality I expect from RLM.
"BECAUSE OF CORONA VIRUS!" line, as delivered by Rich Evans as 'Mike,' really showcases that this recasting is going to work out. Too bad the last guy drank himself to death.
Didn’t think we’d get a callback to Ryan’s babe but hey.
I love how it continues to haunt Lightning Fast Repairs
Why not? It’s the greatest achievement in the history of cinema
Jay hit the nail on the head about watching Keanu Reeves. He outgrew the dumb guy role, and it's probably hard for him to get back into that headspace he was in 30 years ago.
It was like someone doing an impression of Keanu Reeves as Ted.
He just couldn't get that relaxed face going. He looked different levels of concerned the whole movie and that's not Ted. Ah well.
@@guyjperson He never smiled. Ted was known for his warm, and goofy smile, but he looked dead inside for the whole movie.
Keanu went through a lot of tough stuff and it's clear he outgrew the role both personally and professionally. I still find it admirable that he came back and clearly really wanted to do the movie though.

In the age of unnecessary sequels and soft reboots, the original Bill and Ted movies come out fairly unscathed after their late coming sequel. They could have easily had them travel back in time to meet their younger selves and digitally de-aged Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter (the low budget being a saving grace in that regard). But they thankfully left the originals alone. Which is more than can be said for other franchises, like Terminator for example, that's been royally butt fucked by time travel shenanigans.
right? I thought it was them forgetting how their "future selfs" eventually came back in time after they completed the essay,
to then help their past selfs out at their current moment - like leaving the keys or the tape recorder.
imagine going back 30 years later because you forget to help yourself out
Ed Solomon (in an interview with Midnight's Edge) said they had considered a scene where Bill and Ted go back and meet their younger selves by inserting the current actors into old footage as a way to include Rufus, but they abandoned the idea when they realized it wasn't going to work to their satisfaction.
Low standards we have nowadays.
@@KasumiKenshirou wouldn't work with Keanu anyway.
Jay even mentions how less of an Airhead he sounds in the new one.

it was a good movie.
Are you telling me the whole time I was watching this THE CRICKET WAS COMING FROM THE VIDEO?
After imagining Bill and Ted 3 in my head for all these years and what I would've done with it, this movie is the equivalent of unboxing the Kenner Rancor Monster I got for Christmas in '85. I knew I was getting one because I peeked (don't ever do that, kids), so I'd already been playing with it in my mind for at least a month. Then when I got it out of the box it was like, "It's pretty cool, but is that all it does?" So by the 27th, I was bored with it. It was just one more dumb toy. Bill & Ted FTM is OK, but it never pops off the screen. It doesn't Ebert you out of your seat and into its own unique world. It never leaves the safety of its own familiar territory. Maybe I just can't be surprised or delighted by movies anymore. Oh my God, that's a depressing thought.
First time I've heard "Ebert" used as a verb. Please explain lol
Nice Roger reference haha. Ive been binging old Siskel & Ebert and watching old films Ive overlooked or been unaware of, some surprises are still out there.
What a depressing comment this was, because I completely and utterly feel it. I'm trying to think the last movie I saw that actually moved me or made me excited to talk about it in a positive way.... And twenty minutes later I still can't think of one...

He reminds me of Neil Breen a lot, especially his expressions.
@@666spalony Holy balls, you're right! 😂😂

I don't know about you guys, but I about died laughing when I saw Keanu with a flippin' theremin and when Alex started the Mongolian throat singing (which, I confess, I recognized immediately). That was pretty great.
