I mean. Okay. Look. Yes, Beavis and Butt-Head are stupid, but also they’re sort of brilliant. Maybe it’s one of those things you have to had been sixteen to appreciate, back in the days when MTV showed this show and Liquid Television and Aeon Flux and whatever, but guess who was precisely that many years old back then: ME.

And so the movie starts in 1998, actually a little bit after I finished watching the show, and it proceeds to put our lads through some adventures that are both totally implausible and yet somehow also right up their fictional alley.

If you never liked the show, the movie won’t win you over; but if you did like it, it somehow manages to feel like a straight-up continuation in a way that’s almost completely impossible. Nothing picked up decades later feels that continuous with the original thing. It just doesn’t happen. And yet, somehow, here we are.

(Really, the only false note is when they walk through a college class, and you get — surprise! — a little bit of woke college politics satirization. Sigh. But it’s like five minutes.)

Recommended to fans of Beavis and Butt-Head, and only to fans of Beavis and Butt-Head.
