Fasten your bowties! Writer, director, actor – and sometimes DJ – Diallo Riddle joins us for his favorite movie, the Tim Burton classic, Pee-wee’s Big Adventure. We’re talking Paul Reubens’ legacy, comedy legends, Amazing Larry’s questionable backstory, and the moment Large Marge traumatized a generation.
We dig into the lines that shaped our childhood and chase every turn of Pee-wee logic – the panic, iconic locations, the film-noir mood Diallo insists Burton baked in, Elvira’s boobs and the surprising number of actors who took their final bow after this movie. There are impressions, callbacks, and yes…we find the bike!
It’s nostalgia, movie madness, and a dark-comedy deep dive into one of the greatest oddball films ever made – just how we like it.
