Dudes on Movies

The Dudes attempt to save the world, and their marriages, in 2020's "Bill & Ted Face the Music"! This legacy sequel finds our most excellent heroes at a low point in their lives, not having lived up to their expectations. However, they get an opportunity to make things right with the help of their loving daughters and several other versions of themselves. Although it has its fair share of problems, B&T's charm is impossible to resist. Station!

The Dudes go into hypersleep, and are again greeted with terror with 1992's Alien 3. This famously troubled production almost ended David Fincher's career before it got started, but time has been semi-kind to most of it, mainly due to still impressive practical special effects, and the always awesome Sigourney Weaver.

The Dudes broadcast their pirate signal to angsty high schoolers in 1990's Pump Up the Volume! Get ready for some pre-grunge rebellion led by Christian Slater and the always amazing Samantha Mathis in her first major role. It's filled with poignant drama, still relevant social commentary, and a feast of excellent underground tunes! So get your bubble gum, turn it up, and talk hard. Other movies discussed: The Outsider (1983) - Directed by Francis Ford Coppola Dead Birds (2004) - Directed by Alex Turner QUESTION OF THE WEEK: What are your favorite teen angst movies?

The Dudes pray for a Game 7 miracle and put Boston fans on blast with 1996's Celtic Pride. While this sports-based comedy can be frustrating at times with unwanted athlete cameos, it still features decent humor and some fairly realistic basketball scenes. It's also a mostly harmless good time at the movies that we don't get much of anymore, so kick back and enjoy one of Scott's most played VHS tapes.

The Dudes can't recall one key Commandment with 1996's The Crucible. Arthur Miller's masterpiece was both a dramatization of terrible historical events as well as a powerful allegory against McCarthyism and the HUAC. Such witch-hunts unfortunately carry on to this day, and if this were a just world, the swine who start them would receive swift retribution. All that aside, this is a great movie and you should watch it.

The Dudes spread a message of love in 1988's The Last Temptation of Christ.

The Dudes don't often find themselves pondering mediocrity, but that's the case this week with 1998's Sphere, an atmospheric but often tedious Science Fiction adventure.

The Dudes attempt to explain an experimental surgery gone wrong in 1997's Face/Off! This unhinged action film from acclaimed director John Woo is just as awesome as it is ridiculous.
