Dave and Elise go on a most excellent adventure... that's right, it's BILL AND TED'S EXCELLENT ADVENTURE (1989), paired with Terry Gilliam's TIME BANDITS (1981), two comedic tours through history. But do these films have anything interesting to say about history? How about modern life? Why does everyone have it in for Napoleon? Why would Joan of Arc want to lead a jazzercise class? Why is Sean Connery so cool? Elise runs into trouble trying to avoid the buzzphrase \u201con point.\u201d (Seriously, where did that even come from? A confusion of the ballet term with \u201csticking to the point\u201d? Please write in with your urban etymology.) Dave protests the Twinkie treatment of Genghis Khan.

As discussed in our feedback section - please check out Craig Richardson's righteous new project: The Time Travel Nexus (which has already sucked Paul Wandason of time2timetravel into its temporal vortex).
