In part two of our live and lively discussion at the Miller cottage of Pee Wee’s Big Adventure, we continue down the über-weird rabbit hole of Pee Wee Herman. We share some really great listener recasting suggestions, reveal our recasting winners, and then dive into what makes this movie what it is, including a breakdown of the singular character of Pee Wee and what makes him and this film special, some Andy-brand gentle umbrage, how we all accepted Pee Wee into our hearts, our strange interest in lady Pee Wees, a strange realization that the band Creed was actually good, and appreciation for the magical year-in-film that was 1985. Whew!
