Beavis and Butt-Head Do the Universe (2022)
“Beavis & Butt-head” creator Mike Judge will again revisit the animated MTV franchise in a new, untitled feature for Paramount Plus. Judge will serve as executive producer and voice the main characters. ViacomCBS announced last year that a revived “Beavis & Butt-head” series would be coming to Comedy Central as part of its refresh of the cable channel.

re: Beavis and Butt-Head Do the Universe
Incredible. I'm there!
When I was in middle school, our small town didn't have MTV yet, but I had visited my cousin for a week that summer and recorded something like six episodes and brought the VHS tape in and we watched them on a TV at the school that fall during the lunch hour. The audience grew and grew as people heard about it, even though we kept watching the same six episodes. Every once in a while, I was cool.

Before they take on Gen Z, Beavis and Butt-Head are headed to space: Paramount+ has revealed the title and plot for the slacker duo’s upcoming film, Beavis and Butt-Head Do the Universe.
The sequel to 1996’s Beavis and Butt-Head Do America sets the table for the return of Mike Judge’s cartoon series, explaining how the woefully ill-equipped Gen Xers arrived in the present thanks to an accidental trip through a black hole that began just before the turn of the century.
“In perhaps the dumbest space movie ever made, Beavis and Butt-Head are sentenced to Space Camp by a ‘creative’ judge in 1998,” reads the official logline. “Their obsession with a docking simulator (huh huh) leads to a trip on the Space Shuttle, with predictably disastrous results. After going through a black hole, they reemerge in our time, where they look for love, misuse iPhones, and are hunted by the Deep State. Spoiler: They don’t score.”
Paramount+ hasn’t set an exact release date yet, but said Beavis and Butt-Head Do the Universe will be premiering on the streamer in July ahead of the series revival.

I'm glad it's not that one where they are in their 40's. Wonder if that was scrapped or just going to be another one

Just a very casual fan of the original show and movie, but this looks fun.

Wow, that's an impressive start for a property like this. Good to see Judge still knows how to have fun.

Might check this out. To be honest though I was never a huge fan of Beavis and Butt-Head. I like a lot of other stuff by Mike Judge though (especially King of the Hill and Office Space).

A score of 96/90 on Rotten Tomatoes for a B&B movie, that's utterly unhinged, we'll have to watch it this weekend.

I loved this. If you're a fan of the original show you'll probably like this. I also liked that it didn't overstay it's welcome. Only an hour and 20 minutes. Goes by quick.
