We’re not worthy! It will be mine. Oh yes, it will be mine. Now we know what to get our Babe-raham Lincoln this Valentine’s/Palentine’s Day! Wayne’s World is getting the SteelBook treatment this February. Mike Myers and Dana Carvey ride again in the SNL skit turned movie classic that took movie theaters by storm in 1992.
Paramount announced, “Celebrate the world’s most endearing slackers when Wayne’s World arrives in a Limited-Edition Blu-ray SteelBook on February 1, 2022, just in time for the film’s 30th anniversary. Originally released on February 14, 1992, it marked the feature film debut of Wayne and Garth, the wildly popular characters originated by Mike Myers and Dana Carvey on Saturday Night Live, a hilarious send-up of pop culture, the film also features Rob Lowe, Tia Carrere, and Alice Cooper (we’re not worthy!). Directed by Penelope Spheeris and written by Mike Myers and Bonnie Turner & Terry Turner, Wayne’s World follows Wayne and Garth as they try to promote their public-access cable show. A hit with both critics and fans, it ultimately earned over $183M at the worldwide box office and spawned the sequel Wayne’s World 2. A double feature of the two films will also be available on Blu-ray with access to digital copies on February 1.”
This would be our first time in his career to see the sharp comedy timing of Rob Lowe, which he is literally now known for. He’s gone on to cracking folks up on his ‘Literally’ podcast and be the one laughing the hardest at his Comedy Central Roast. “What a thrill to once again be following in Justin Bieber’s footsteps. I look forward to a night of hilarious jokes recycled from the James Franco Roast. I would like to express my gratitude to the members of my family who have passed away and therefore will not have to endure what promises to be a very special evening.” Lowe slayed that evening!
Lara Flynn Boyle would also flip the script, and her bicycle, trading her Twin Peaks serious persona to dazzle us as the ‘psycho hose beast’ who purchased ‘aah’ gun rack for her ex, Wayne (Mike Myers), when he doesn’t even own ‘aah’ gun, let alone many guns that would necessitate an entire rack.
After you’ve fallen down the Wayne’s World rabbit hole on Youtube, do yourself a solid. Pop the movie in, and surprise yourself by just how many lines you remember from the classic, while simultaneously being delighted by all the parts you might not have remembered. It’s been thirty years, after all! Then amaze (or baffle) your friends and family by uncontrollably quoting the blockbuster classic.
Bring the red licorice! Join in a raucous rendition of ‘Bohemian Rhapsody,’ be dazzled at Alice Cooper’s limitless knowledge of Milwaukee (pronounced meeleewahkay, which is Algonquin for the good land), and start saving up for that Fender Stratocaster, ‘cause you’re gonna need it after revisiting Wayne’s World for the twentieth time.
