The Sci-Fi Podcast: S2-E13: “Bill and Ted Face the Music” a Heartfelt Review

Posted on April 18, 2021 by SciFiHost

Welcome to The SciFi Podcast, a wretched hive of scum and villainy issuing a bi-weekly podcast focused on in-depth discussions of all things science fiction. The SciFi Podcast features four hosts—Mattroid, Nick, Solo and Station!—and frequent guests. Each episode we look at a science fiction theme or franchise and take the discussion where no show has gone before.

In this episode the hosts discuss “Bill and Ted Face the Music” as well as welcoming Mattroid back to the crew. Discussion of Nick’s pants, William’s “Loser Reviews”, Station’s gripes and Mattroid’s return from the dead fill in the gaps between takes on what the hosts make of Bill S. Preston Esq. and Ted Theodore Logan’s most triumphant appearance on screen in nearly three decades.

Welcome to The SciFi Podcast, a wretched hive of scum and villainy a bi-weekly podcast focused on in-depth discussion of all things science fiction. The SciFi Podcast features three hosts—Mattroid, Solo, and Station!—and frequent guests. Each episode we look at a science fiction theme or franchise and take the discussion where no show has gone before.

SLC Gaming Con 2018. As with Alien Con, Mattroid is once again out in the field and left to his own devices–never a good sign! Not dissimilar to Comic Con or FanX, Gaming Con embraces nerds, geeks, and particularly gamers of all kinds; throw in vendor booths, panels, and competitive gaming (including collegiate e-sports!).

ALIEN CON: 2018, Pasadena, California. With Solo and Station! unable to attend, Mattroid braves the wonderful and weird outer-space inspired convention alone. The audio quality suffers quite badly in some places (so sorry!) but the content is incredible and, especially in conjunction with the pictures below, you’ll get a pretty good idea of the goings-on at Alien Con.

The Sci-Fi Podcast: IT CAME FROM PLANET X – Weird Science

Some movies are so strange, so bizarre, so ultimately excellent that they belong in their own pocket universe of The Sci-Fi Podcast, known as Planet X! Mattroid will be joined in each of these short episodes by a special guest and together they’ll discuss a relatively unknown movie and any number of related (and unrelated) tangents.

The big 50 is almost here! Episode 50, nearly finished in the editing room, is almost live. Until then you’ve got something to hold you over. This episode’s guest is the subtle, quiet-yet-hilarious Zach Merris. The reason Zach was chosen for this Planet X episode is because Zach is an 80s comedy aficionado, huge John Hughes fan, and 80s era music enthusiast – but he doesn’t know crap about sci-fi movies. It was also his first time watching this movie, which just so happens to rate as one of Mattroid’s all-time-favorite 80s AND sci-fi films – WEIRD SCIENCE.

Have you seen it?

Chat about the movie in the comments section.

There’s a big episode coming up, so until then make sure to check out our friends and family at Movie Podcast Network.

Podcast production and artwork by Mattroid. Music provided by TMMC.

RATINGS:

Mattroid – 8.5/10

Zach – 7/10

Show notes:

Check out the incredible legacy left by John Hughes, and to learn more about the other movies mentioned in the episode, here you go: The Breakfast Club / Sixteen Candles / Some Kind of Wonderful.
