Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure and Pee-Wee’s Big Holiday

"Pee-Wee's Big Adventure", directed by Tim Burton and starring Paul Reubens as the iconic man-child Pee-Wee Herman, is an absolute delight and - despite containing a minimum amount of skateboarding - Kevin and Mike will use any excuse to rewatch it. Pee-Wee returned in the Netflix original movie "Pee-Wee's Big Holiday" a few years ago (Pee-Wee himself rides a skateboard in that one) and that was also screened for discussion. Is "Big Adventure" the best thing Tim Burton has ever done? Should Jan Hooks have gotten an Academy Award for her role as an Alamo tour guide? How, exactly, is this movie so great? All this and more is discussed in the latest episode of GLEAMING THE TUBE!
