Part of me thinks it’s odd that we know have a Bill & Ted trilogy. Then again, there are eight Police Academy movies, so franchise math doesn’t always compute in Hollywood. What I mean by “odd,” though, is that loosey-goosey best buds Bill S. Preston, Esq. (Alex Winter) and Ted “Theodore” Logan (Keanu Reeves) don’t possess many of the qualities on which we expect a franchise to be built. They don’t have super powers. They’re not gear heads embarking on covert CIA missions. In fact, they’re not particularly great at anything, despite visitors from the future often telling them it’s their destiny to unite the world in song.
