Bill & Ted Face the Music (2020)

This is the most triumphant film fans have been waiting for!

[9/10 · 31 August 2020]

Being a huge fan of Bill & Ted since 1989, this movie is everything I hoped it would be. My only fear was that it could not be executed well, and it could have been really lame (Jay & Silent Bob Reboot, anyone?). That is most definitely not the case here. The excellent story and writing took the movie in more directions than I could imagine. Alex Winter and Keanu Reeves bring Bill & Ted to life just as we've always known them. All the returning characters from past files were great...especially William Sadler as Death. Their daughters Thea and Billie were awesome! They totally nailed their characters to the point I could actually see them leading the way for more Bill & Ted films to come, if they possibly decide to do so. Anthony Carrigan playing the robot Dennis Caleb McCoy was hilarious. Overall, no characters or historical figures seemed out of place at all. This is a most non-heinous finale to the Bill & Ted trilogy. I don't see how fans of the first two films wouldn't love it.

Cobra Kai (2018–2025)

Everything this Karate Kid fan could ever want...and more!

I never thought this would be so awesome, but it is just that. Daniel LaRusso and Johnny Lawrence bring their rivalry back to life, and it's all fans could ever want. Bringing back original characters, storylines, flashing back to clips from the original movie, and even bringing back the original soundtrack music really brings the nostalgia full circle. On top of that, it's extremely well acted, well written, and downright addicting. I've watched the whole series twice in a matter of 2 weeks. Highly recommended to fans. It's probably the best show I've watched in 10 years or more. I can't wait for season 2!
