Beavis And Butt Head Do The Universe Review Teen Morons Do Multiverse

Picking up soon after the events of “Do America,” director/writer/producer/creator/voice Mike Judge plops his lackadaisical creations right back in Highland, Texas, where pretty much nothing has changed for the pair, despite them being deemed honorary ATF agents by then-President Bill Clinton at the conclusion of the first film (again, truly a different time).
