Bill and Ted are high school buddies starting a band. They are also about to fail their history class—which means Ted would be sent to military school—but receive help from Rufus, a traveller from a future where their band is the foundation for a perfect society. With the use of Rufus’ time machine, Bill and Ted travel to various points in history, returning with important figures to help them complete their final history presentation.
Anchored by the endlessly likable pairing of Alex Winter and Keanu Reeves, the film zips through history with Socrates, Napoleon, and Joan of Arc in tow, but never loses sight of its big heart. Beneath the goofy catchphrases and mall-set mayhem is a surprisingly sincere belief in the power of showing up for one another.
Diane Franklin will also be signing autographs in the lobby before the film, so make sure to get there early!

Grab a slice and skate on down to The Frida Cinema as Moviebusters presents a very special screening of the 1990 cult classic Teenage Mutant Ninja Turles! And make sure to stick around after the screening as martial artist, actor, and the man behind Donatello’s legendary moves, Ernie Reyes Jr joins us for an in-person Q&A!
Before superheroes ruled the multiplex, four brothers from the New York sewers saved the world with martial arts and heart. Director Steve Barron’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was a box-office surprise and a practical-effects marvel. Produced on the edge of indie ingenuity, the film blended Jim Henson’s Creature Shop wizardry with street-level grit, creating a tone that felt mythic. Beneath the pizza jokes and wisecracks was something sincere–growing up in a hard (shelled?) city.
