I was ready to ignore Paramount Plus, which recently launched in the UK, because who needs another streaming service in their life, right? Then I saw there was a new Beavis and Butt-Head movie on there, written and directed by series creator Mike Judge. Damn. They got me. I’m in my mid-30s, and I grew up watching these idiots on Channel 4 every Friday night, so Beavis and Butt-Head Do the Universe—their first feature length misadventure since 1996’s Beavis and Butt-Head Do America—is aimed squarely at someone like me. I’m always wary of beloved characters from a bygone era being revived for a new audience, but I should have known Judge would be able to pull it off. Beavis and Butt-Head Do the Universe is both brilliantly stupid and just plain brilliant.
