As in the first movie, they’re on a quest to lose their virginities (or, in the parlance of their times, to “score”), which, as before, various government officials mistake for something far more nefarious. Eventually, this leads to them getting sucked into a black hole, and popping out in 2022. Written, directed by and starring series creator Mike Judge, it is the second film adaptation of the animated television series Beavis and Butt-Head and a sequel to Beavis and Butt-Head Do America. The movie picks up in 1998, shortly after their show’s 1997 end: When Beavis and Butt-Head (both voiced, as ever, by creator Mike Judge) are sent to space camp in an attempt to rehabilitate their general delinquency, they are improbably recruited for a real mission. Beavis and Butt-Head Do the Universe is a 2022 American adult animated comedy film. Like a lot of the classic Beavis shorts, it’s all predicated on a misunderstanding - a steadfast and mistaken belief that these two eternally snickering, muttering, horny teenage boys must be concealing hidden depths. In between the sci-fi embellishments, the movie has set pieces in such exotic, far-flung locales as a porta-potty and a motel room. Beavis and Butt-Head go on a Space Shuttle mission in 1998, fall into a black hole, and reemerge on Earth in 2022, where they are pursued by the NSA, the Governor of Texas, and a highly-intelligent version of themselves from a parallel universe. Like The Simpsons in its fifth season, it does indeed send its dull-witted protagonists into space - and, unlike The Simpsons (as far as I know I’m not current on the last few seasons), it also gives them multi-versal doppelgangers, smarter versions of the boys who urge them to do their part to save the universe.
