EPISODE 65 – TRON: LEGACY (2010)



Bill and Ted discuss Joseph Kosinski’s 2010 “TRON Legacy” the action packed
follow up to Steven Lisberger’s 1982 groundbreaking sci-fi cult classic TRON.
Computer programmer, Kevin Flynn (Jeff Bridges), long trapped within his own
digital creation is forced into action when his son Sam (Garrett Hedlund)
surprisingly arrives within The Grid. Together father and son must assist the
“isomorphic algorithm” Quorra (Olivia Wilde) as Kevin Flynn’s fallen programme
Clu (Jeff Bridges) plots to gain complete control of The Grid and access to the
biological world. Less futurist manifesto and more of a contemplative
reassessment of digital life Kosinski’s TRON finds its focus digging into
relationships both broken and restored. Religious themes of incarnation and
forgiveness abound alongside stunning visuals and a pulsing inventive score by
the award winning French Electric Dance Music duo Daft Punk.

City (1998), Oblivion (2013)

EPISODE 64 – METROPOLIS (1927)



Bill and Ted discuss Fritz Lang’s 1927 landmark silent science-fiction drama
“Metropolis” where utopia collides with dystopia and the head of the planner
desperately needs a mediator for the hand of the worker. Gustav Fröhlich stars
as Freder, the privileged son of Johann Fredersen (Alfred Abel), the
technocratic designer and overlord of the futuristic city Metropolis who falls
in the love with Maria (Brigitte Helm), a kind-hearted woman and the spiritual
leader of the workers. Maria and Freder’s dream of a better tomorrow for the
whole of Metropolis meets resistance in the face of a mad-scientist bent on
revenge. Metropolis is a kind of masterclass blueprint for nearly a century of
epic world-building cinema. At every turn there is some archetypical concept,
theme, character, visual image, or moment that viewers will recognize from a
multitude of films. With its mix of politics, religion, science-fiction, action,
futurism, and romance, Lang’s Metropolis is a highly influential film that has
left an indelible imprint on generations of film makers.

EPISODE 63 – TRON (1982)



Bill and Ted discuss Steven Lisberger’s 1982 boundary pushing Sci-Fi film
“TRON,” a futurist film made at the dawn of the personal computer and the
explosion of the video game market. Lisberger envisions a world where analogue
collides with digital in a struggle over what is real and what is programmed.
Jeff Bridges stars as computer programmer Kevin Flynn, who finds himself
“incarnated” inside a computer in a struggle against the Master Control Program
and his formidable minion Sark (David Warner) as they plot to dominate the real
world. Flynn joins the security programme TRON (Bruce Boxleitner) in the fight
against the MCP’s tyranny and expanding dystopia. Filled with eye-popping
images, this innovative, ambitious, and stylish film took tremendous technical
risks unlocking new avenues for the filmmakers that followed.

EPISODE 61 – FERRIS BUELLER’S DAY OFF (1986)



Bill & Ted discuss “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” – John Hughes’ 1986 classic teen
comedy. Fast-talking high school senior Ferris Bueller (Matthew Broderick), his
neurotic best friend Cameron Frye (Alan Ruck), and carefree girlfriend Sloane
Peterson (Mia Sara) put Ferris’ “Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and
look around once in a while, you could miss it” philosophy into action, ditching
school for a whirlwind fun-filled tour of their hometown of Chicago. Narrowly
evading Ferris’ kind but clueless parents and suspicious sister Jeanie (Jennifer
Grey) the trio do their best to help the morose Cameron gain some much needed
perspective. Peppering his film with poignant moments, Hughes also gives
audiences plenty of pratfall slapstick humour as high school principle, Ed
Rooney (Jeffrey Jones), attempting to catch Ferris, walks into an escalating
series of comeuppances.

EPISODE 60 – THE WIZARD OF OZ (1939)



Bill & Ted discuss “The Wizard of Oz,” Victor Fleming’s 1939 adaptation of Frank
L. Baum’s 1900 children’s novel “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.” Dorothy Gale (Judy
Garland), a young Kansas farm girl, finds herself in the magical Land of Oz
pitted against the Wicked Witch of the West (Margaret Hamilton) over a pair of
magical Ruby Red Slippers Dorothy obtained after accidentally killing the
witch’s sister upon arriving in Oz. Joined by a seemingly brainless Scarecrow
(Ray Bolger), heartless Tin Woodman (Jack Haley) and cowardly Lion (Bert Lahr),
the foursome dance and sing their way down the yellow brick road to see the
Wizard (Frank Morgan) in the Emerald City hopeful that he can give each of them
what they desire most in life.

EPISODE 59 – THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RETURN OF THE KING (2003)



Bill & Ted discuss the Extended Edition of Peter Jackson’s 2003 adaptation of
the JRR Tolkien’s 1955 Lord of the Rings Book “The Return of the King.” This is
the inspirational epic conclusion where everything comes to a head and all
obstacles both internal and external are overcome one way or another: the fate
of the Ring, of Middle Earth and all the characters both good and evil conclude
in a poignant and satisfying way. Here Bill and Ted delve into both the deeply
emotional impact of the film and the underlying theological and hopeful nature
of the story in this third film in the epic Lord of the Rings trilogy.

Hobbit-nappingOrcs, Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli meet an unexpected old friend and
become embroiled in the defense of Rohan at Helm’s Deep against the tower of
Orthanc and forces of the Wizard Saruman from Isengard. Meahnwhile, Merry and
Pippin meet the talking trees of Fangorn Forest who end up having business of
their own with Isengard. At the same time, Frodo and Sam, led by the conflicted
and pitiful Gollum, trudge with the Ring toward the dangers of Sauron in Mordor
with its tower of Barad-dûr. Friendships deepen, new characters are added, and

trilogy.
