One of my favorite bands of all time is KISS. They've also been in comic books, animation, video games, toys, etc. I've always wondered why they never had their own proper animated series or movies?

Being a lifelong fan of the Bill & Ted movies, I always loved the idea of an in-depth "Behind the Music" type documentary about the career of the Wyld Stallyns, the fictional band led by Bill S. Preston, Esq. and Ted "Theodore" Logan that was said to inspire an age of universal harmony and prosperity. At some point between "Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey" and "Bill & Ted Face the Music," we learned that things didn't always work out the way they wanted it to. Could you imagine if there were a full-length documentary about the rise, fall, and comeback of the Wyld Stallyns? How did Bill & Ted's band fall into obscurity? What could be the aftermath of "Face the Music"? This was inspired by "This Is Spinal Tap," "Anvil! The Story of Anvil," "Metallica: Some Kind of Monster," and other similar films. Party on, dudes! **Contains SPOILERS for all 3 Bill & Ted films, including "Bill & Ted Face the Music"** Check out my podcast (available on all platforms) about "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure" here: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jack-connor5/episodes/R54---Bill--Teds-Excellent-Adventure-1989-Deep-Dive-Review-04-16-2021-e1lcqve/a-a892v63 Follow me on Twitter/X and Instagram @jackXconnor Follow The Phoenix Report with Jack Connor on all podcast platforms: https://anchor.fm/jack-connor5 Links: jackconnorpodcast@gmail.com https://linktr.ee/vertebreaker www.facebook.com/jackconnormusic www.twitter.com/jackXconnor www.instagram.com/jackXconnor www.facebook.com/newdivideband www.facebook.com/friendsofthe90s www.youtube.com/channel/UC3ZJP1ePfMUy_nXkaFH0aUQ --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jack-connor5/support

As we look ahead to Phases 5, 6, and beyond of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the big question on most fans' minds is: how will the X-Men fit into all this? More importantly, how could the X-Men fit into established MCU continuity (without any time travel/multiverse shenanigans)? I've thought about this for a while and wanted to share my ideas about how it could be done, and how I would do it. Enjoy!
