What didn’t we talk about when Rob MacDougall from Hold My Order, Terrible Dresser joined Dylan and Caroline to talk about Netflix’ relatively new original movie Pee-wee’s Big Holiday.
By tuning in, you can enjoy:
- a few words on the Marvel Cinematic Universe
- an epiphany about how to pronounce “Manganiello”
- insight into Paul Reubens’ pop culture exile
- a deeply nostalgic look at other Pee-wee Herman media
- a queer reading of the movie
- a suggestion that modern children’s entertainment is ready for Pee-wee
- some debate about whether the film is campily positive toward people of size or just plain mean
