Pee-Wee's Big Adventure - re:View

Jay, Mike, and a man known only as Milwaukee Culkin dive into one of the greatest films ever made: Pee-Wee's Big Adventure. A film described as "Lightning in a bottle" by Jay himself. A magical moment in cinematic history when the stars at night aligned deep in the heart of Texas. A movie that plows along at a rapid pace of a haunted semi and takes no moment to indulge in overly bloated CGI trash. The film does fire off a series of short, carefully executed comedic set pieces all the while asking the question of what's really important in life - a physical possession or real life experiences, newly forged relationships and friendships, and growing as an individual. Pee-Wee's Big Adventure is a masterpeewee of cinematic art. R.I.P - Paul Reubens, Phil Hartman, Jan Hooks, and Milton Berle's gigantic c*ck.

Thanks, now I want Star Wars with a John Carpenter score to be a real thing.

schopi

Mack is back! Nice!

FOOT-LONG: Genius edit.

Like Mike, I also thought Jan Hooks died just a couple of years ago, so I looked her up. Turns out she passed away in 2014. Mike might have been thinking of John Paragon, who played Jambi in Pee Wee's Playhouse and was one of the movie lot actors in Pee Wee's Big Adventure. He died in 2021.

Some thing tells me there’s a Junka rematch incoming…

Regarding Big Top PeeWee, the problem with it is a problem with comedies set in a circus (I’m thinking of the Marx Brothers’ “At the Circus”: Circuses are already filled with strange, zany people; there’s no contrast between our zany protagonist(s) and circus folk. (As opposed to, say, an opera company.)

"Star Wars" with a John Carpenter score sounds amazing to me...

Re: Murphy Brown, if the reboot had any courage, they would have acknowledged that Quayle was right and her fictional son would have been better off with two parents! (My alternate pitch was that they should’ve done it like “The Brady Bunch Movie” she still acts like it’s the 90s (Big hair! Comically large cell phones! Quayle jokes!) but somehow thrives in modern times…

Only about 8 minutes before Mike goes to Star Wars. Bravo.

Kim Luu

This 1985 and Little Shop of Horrors 1986 had such an impact on me as far as comedy and fantasy world building it was great to see Re:Views for both back to back like this.

Jerome

One of my favorite movies as a kid that had a huge impact on me as well

Mike St Louis

I’m with Jay. The Headlight Glasses bit in the dark is probably one of my favorite scenes ever. The “I remember the Alamo” is a close second. Excellent film. Tim Burton’s best.

Mike St Louis

Off topic sort of. I’d love to see a Re:View of “Back to the Future”. Just part 1. This is a film i’d love to show to my kids someday. A perfect film (like Pee Wee) that didn’t need a sequel.

Back To You

Speaking of comedies you reference all the time and is overdue a re:View :: Wet Hot American Summer

Marvin Falz

After having watched this re:View I want to watch Pee Wee's Big Adventure. Looks like a lot of fun!

JTruts

Nothing will take BotW from my favorite series you do, but re:View I think has now secured the second place spot after this genuinely great heartfelt episode. It's so nice to watch you guys talk about something you truly enjoy, and Mac is always a bonus. Hopefully Tim or maybe Jack will detrone him as Junka champion...

Eric Anderson

What a lovely review! So happy they mentioned the open matte “errors” on the vhs version (the bike chain, and road signs pulled by ropes). I always thought those were intentional until I saw it on dvd in the proper aspect ratio.

Yeah Yeah yeah.. Maclay Calkin ffs it’s Paul Ruebensandwich menu special.. even Maclay gets it .. you fucks. Loved the entertainment btw. Love your works.

I appreciate Jay admitting the Large Marge scene scared him as a kid. That scene scared me so much as a kid I was half terrified the rest of the movie.
