Pee-wee's Big Adventure (1985)

Kerri Gross prayed for it, and listener CarmelitaValdezMcKoy answered. We're reviewing the 1985 oddity "Pee-wee's Big Adventure." This groundbreaking movie made Paul Reubens a star, put Tim Burton on the map, and was the first time Oingo Boingo's Danny Elfman worked with Burton on an irresistible film score. Gene Lyons argues "Pee-wee's Big Adventure" is the most memorable movie of all time. Who could forget Pee-wee's legendary bike, Large Marge, Dee Snyder, the singing hobo, the pet shop, or the fact Jimmy Smits was not in this movie? The Shat Crew touches on Pee-wee's adult-theater arrest, the failure of Pee-wee sequels, and whether hitch hiking is an Out West thing or a Florida thing. Kerri recalls seeing Pee-wee live while sitting between Andy Dick and Corey Feldman. Dick Ebert asks how this film is so funny when it shouldn't be. And Gene applauds Pee-wee's glorious ensemble ending.  Help Support the Podcast Support with Paypal – http://shatthemovies.com/paypal Support With Venmo – https://venmo.com/ShatPodcasts Shop Amazon With Our Affiliate Link – https://www.amazon.com/?tag=shatmovies-20  Sponsor's Listener Survey – http://shatthemovies.com/survey Leave an iTunes Review – http://shatthemovies.com/review Vote for our Next Movies – http://shatthemovies.com/vote Subscribe & Social Media – http://shatthemovies.com/subscribe-and-follow Leave a Voicemail – (914) 719-SHAT – (914) 719-7428 Checkout our TV Podcasts – https://shatontv.com/shat-on-podcasts Theme Song – Die Hard by Guyz Nite – https://www.facebook.com/guyznite
