BEAVIS AND BUTT-HEAD DO THE UNIVERSE - ANDREA SAVAGE INTERVIEW

Paramount+ Presents the dumbest science fiction movie ever made…..BEAVIS AND BUTT-HEAD DO THE UNIVERSE.. and Andrea Savage is lending her voice to the cause!

From Creator Mike Judge and MTV Entertainment Studios, comes a tale that technically spans two centuries, BEAVIS AND BUTT-HEAD DO THE UNIVERSE promises to sit atop all future lists of the Dumbest Science Fiction Movies Ever Made. The saga begins when Beavis and Butt-Head wind up at space camp through “creative sentencing” from a juvenile court judge in 1998. Mistaking a docking simulator for something else (huh huh), Beavis and Butt-Head excel at it and are asked to join the space shuttle mission in a PR move. After ruining the mission, they are left for dead in space and end up going through a black hole and reemerging back on Earth in 2022, only to discover a very different world – and find themselves considered Buttholes of Interest by the NSA, the governor of Texas, and a highly intelligent version of themselves from a parallel universe. Also they almost lose their virginity, but don’t.

Andrea Savage provides the voice for Astronaut Serena Ryan who gets entangled with Beavis and Butt-Head when she decides to send them to space!

The original movie BEAVIS AND BUTT-HEAD DO THE UNIVERSE marks the duo’s first on-screen appearance in more than 10 years. Created and voiced by writer, producer and director Mike Judge, the characters of Beavis and Butt-Head originated in Judge’s 1992 short film “Frog Baseball,” which was broadcast by MTV’s animation showcase “Liquid Television.” After MTV commissioned a full series around the characters, “Beavis and Butt-Head” ran for seven seasons from March 8, 1993, to Nov. 28, 1997. The series was revived in 2011 with an eighth season airing on MTV. During its initial run, “Beavis and Butt-Head” received widespread critical acclaim for its satirical, scathing commentary on society. The show’s popularity spawned various related media, including the theatrical film “Beavis and Butt-Head Do America” in 1996. In addition to the new movie, the full library of over 200 remastered “Beavis and Butt-Head” episodes will stream exclusively on the service, along with a new series coming later this year.

Andrea Savage is a comedic actress, writer, director, producer and podcaster, best known for creating the breakout television show, I’M SORRY, which she wrote, directed, produced and starred in. Originally hailing from The Groundlings, Andrea has starred as “President Montez” on VEEP, “Helen Basch” on Showtime’s EPISODES, and “Rhonda” on CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM as well as in STEP BROTHERS, SLEEPING WITH OTHER PEOPLE, the cult hit DOG BITES MANon Comedy Central and two seasons of THE HOTWIVES series on HULU.

I spoke with Andrea Savage about working on the film, her amazing career and her upcoming series Tulsa King in which she starts opposite Sylvester Stallone.
