Pee-Wee's Big Adventure - re:View

- Опубликовано: 17 окт 2024
- Jay, Mike, and a man known only as Milwaukee Culkin dive into one of the greatest films ever made: Pee-Wee's Big Adventure. A film described as "Lightning in a bottle" by Jay himself. A magical moment in cinematic history when the stars at night aligned deep in the heart of Texas. A movie that plows along at a rapid pace of a haunted semi and takes no moment to indulge in overly bloated CGI trash. The film does fire off a series of short, carefully executed comedic set pieces all the while asking the question of what's really important in life - a physical possession or real life experiences, newly forged relationships and friendships, and growing as an individual. Pee-Wee's Big Adventure is a masterpeewee of cinematic art. R.I.P - Paul Reubens, Phil Hartman, Jan Hooks, and Milton Berle's gigantic c*ck.
Hey they got mike stoklasa back! I hope he becomes a regular on the show. He brings a “liver failure” vibe to the show.
Sometimes I worry about his drinking... like he's acting and not actually drunk
@@patrickglaser1560 Have you ever had alcohol?
After he got into Hollywood and became a breakout star as “Desmond” Mike has been acting too big for his britches
@@FayezButts I highly doubt it. lol.
and man legs
From the humble beginnings of Home Alone to his rise in red letter media infamy. Macauly Culkin really has done everything
You mean Milwaukee Culkin. Did you even read the credits!?!?!?!?
Mr. McCulkin is really making it big these days
He bagged Brenda song
Almost as famous as rich
That's the hamburglar!?
Another detail I love is when Pee-Wee is filing a police report, which begins with the officer asking "What exactly leads you to believe the Soviets were involved?" Later in the film when we are watching the movie within the movie James Brolin says "I've got to steal back the X1 before the Soviets find the secret compartment containing the microfilm."
Just realised how much Colin from Canada reminds me of Pee-Wee Herman
One of the funniest scenes is Pee Wee filing the police report because it starts with a hard cut to the cop asking him, "What exactly leads you to believe the Soviets were involved?" Gets me every time.
Absolutely. The best part is how Pee Wee starts to answer and you can tell it's completely earnest before the sweet cop cuts him off.
Super great
Rich Evans has a Bacon number of 2
I always love that one because even peewee doesn’t even have a reason for that reasoning. Furthermore, everyone hears him out and respects him to a point. Like everyone really gives peewee absolutely respect in this world and he doesn’t really abuse it.
Such a hilarious world
It's even better when in the movie at the end, it's the Soviets who steal his motorcycle
@@opensourceanglers8291pee wees big adventure Tim burton made James wan same thing as being in a lot more information on them before
I've always interpreted Peewee as being a child's idea of the perks of being an adult.
That's a good way of putting it. Spongebob took some cues from this I think
Pee wee is definitely a prototype for spongebob. The high voice, the bow tie etc @@MysteryStew5977
I thought the same thing growing up. Even down to the suit, I thought that’s just what adults wore when I was a kid lol
yeah that's my take too. It's almost like a trip into the world that little kids imagine their adult lives would be like, before their hopes and dreams inevitably get crushed by reality. I think that's part of why it's such a good all-ages movie as well. kids can appreciate the goofy stuff, while adults can appreciate the almost escapist and nostalgic feelings that come from unironically embracing that goofiness.
it's definitely a nostalgia high. His character was also performative to add another layer, similar to Andy Kauffman's Tony Cliffton RIP.
He isn't embracing the goofiness, he IS his goofiness personified in the Pee wee character. In a way he treated kids like adults and adults like kids.
Paul Reubens RIP, @@Gumper30
Macauley makes a really good point about all the one-liners in that movie being very different from what you'll see in contemporary comedies. This movie has so much acting talent going into characters saying only one line, if they even say anything at all (Amazing Larry is one of the most memorable characters and he's in it for a couple of seconds saying nothing). It's a comedy where your laughs *don't* exclusively come from jokes set in setup and punchline (even though there's plently of setups and punchines anyway, like Pee-Wee in the phonebooth proving he's in Texas, or Pee-Wee triumphant splat through a billboard); every one-off character is basically delivering a painting in a moving frame with their acting, whose imagery as an artistic visual expression, and the intent of that expression is to make you chuckle at something dumb. It's incredible, it's the kind of movie that you can't even believe got made from the Hollywood movie system. So much art went into this movie and about a guy in a crew cut, red bowtie, and leather shoes somehow colored white, completely amazing and crazy and unexplainable.
I've never seen the this movie but I always remember an early Scorsese movie and the lead actor is in a restaurant or a late night coffee shop or something talking to a woman and some random guy is sat at the back mimicking all the mannerism the guy is doing for no particular reason . And in the Al Pacino movie Sea of Love when he's walking down the street towards the end talking to Ellen Barkin character and an extra or just some man trying to get to work literally walks into Pacino and shoulder blocks him out the way, that was definitely unscripted and just got left in. I think the Scorsese scene was planned
Time to go see it!!!!
Harrison Ford winking to Carrie Fisher in time with Little Girls is A+ Mike Stoklasa editing.
Was really hoping for this one, it's one of my favorite childhood movies that still holds wonderfully up as an adult.
Used to watch this almost every day when I was 5
Loved the Godzilla cameo as a kid too, the years before Toho was stingy with the character thanks to the 1998 film…
Macaulay Culkin is the best person for this re view too, this is great
When you makin a guest appearance Vin?
These are some MAN LEGS, right here!
Pee Wee saving the snakes even though he hates them legitimately really touched me, like the joke could have just stayed at he hates the snakes but the punchline turns out to be even though they're icky and scary they're still worthy of saving.
Sneks can be cute tho. Not all are scary and icky
@@cyrollan It's much scarier and icky to be an animal in a pet shop, humans are the worst of all
He's such a good kid.
Yeah I watched that as a kid I interpreted it as because he's the hero he has to save them even though he doesn't like them, which like they say in the vid redeems his character arc instead of making him a total narcissist obsessed with his bike. Big Top Peewee screws this up because Pee Wee is a narcissist but his acts aren't redeemable and the people in the town hate him.
Tim Burton on the other hand is fearful of monkeys and cringed having to film him helping PW save the animals.
That John Carpenter style Star Wars mockup was actually pretty awesome
100% agree, I couldn't believe how well that music actually worked with the scene 🤣
Right. I’d watch that version of Star Wars! I’m one of those blokes that has never seen Star Wars, and have no desire to. I appreciate its impact though
Came here to say this, that kicked ass
Came to the comments for this right here. Yes it was pretty epic
Came here to say that
The funniest thing about Norm Macdonald's death is that it reminds me of his own, "I didn't even know he was sick," joke every time I think about it.
one of my all time favorite jokes
I feel like that's how Norm would have wanted it.
@Shofixi or that's what the Germans would have you believe
It's his penultimate joke. Everyone said that exact thing when they found out.
I'm fairly sure I saw at least one obit quote his famous joke about cancer. He fought it to a draw.
"Do you remember anything?"
"I remember.......the Alamo."
"YEEEEEHAAAAAWW!"
Gets me every time, I lone this movie.
lone star shine down on my home town fill my memory light my way
Does this mean we’re getting another Macaulay Culkin best of the worst? I need to see more of his and Rich’s illicit relationship
I was rewatching Best of the Worst Episodes and was thinking "Man, i hope Macaulay Culkin comes back for some Episodes!" but then thought "He's married and has a Kid now, maybe he's too busy for a while. And now i check my RUclips Alerts and voilá he's back!
I hope you Guys filmed a BOTW with him again! Also i will only call him Milwaukee Culkin from now on because it's easier to pronounce for a Bavarian like me who talks exactly like Werner Herzog when i speak english.
Prost & Cheers from Berchtesgaden in the Bavarian Alps
I’d assume since that’s what Colin usually does when he comes down from Canada
I need to hear Rich call him "Mr. McCulkin" accidentally again, and hear everyone losing it.😂
@@danielbretall2236which BOTW is that from
@newthejsterjacob408 you mean you need to see more of Rich being the Little Spoon.
The Jan Hooks Alamo tour guide scene is one of the best things ever. Apparently Burton just told her to come up with something and she wrote it all herself. Movie magic.
Jan Hooks was so tragic. From what I've read she was so crippled by stage fright and anxiety she basically became a functioning alcoholic just to be able to perform, and then she lost interest in performing and just became a full-blown alcoholic and only worked so she could keep her SAG insurance (and buy booze I guess)
“Can you say ‘tor-til-la?’”
I remember... I remember... the Alamo.
it absolutely kills me when the kid at the very end of the tour takes a picture as everyones laughing at pee wee
Unfortunately The Groundlings Didn't Have More Move Exposure. This Was Probably The Best Groundlings Collab On Film.
I showed Pee Wee's Big Adventure to my kids recently, fully expecting them to not really like it because it's so different that anything put out today. To my surprise, they absolutely loved it and have already watched it several times. That just goes to show this really a timeless classic. 💜
I was wondering how kids nowadays would react to it. My sister and I loved it so much as children.
Oh man that's honestly so good to hear for some reason. Was one of my favorites growing up as well.
you got some good kids there. Go give them a pat on the head for me. Say that a guy from RUclips sends his regards.
One of the few movies that I remember laughing so hard, almost fainting, when I saw it with my sister in theaters as a teen!!! Something About Mary is the only other film I can think of.
@juniorjames7076 There's Something About Mary is a great one too. I'll have to wait a little longer before showing that one to my kids though. 😂
The whole “how old is this guy supposed to be?” thing works way better in this film than it does in The Irishman.
I heard you paint playhouses
l can't watch that movie because of the scene where he beats up the store clerk... It's SOOOO bad...
@@Beavernatorvery bad
@@Beavernator what's so bad about it? I'm ignorant :)
@@crakhaed Its an old actor not in the best shape playing a man who in that scene was much younger. The scene is supposed to sell you this guy beating the shit out of the clerk, but it just looks like you got grandpa to do an action scene. Comically unbelievable basically.
I always felt bad for Macauly growing up; because it seemed like it would be tough to be that young and incredibly famous. So it's really cool to see him get to do just really normal things like hang out and talk about movies.
Learning that the dog is the same dog from Silence of the lambs is the perfect example of why I love RLM.
The movies take place in the same cinematic Universe. Dotty had to sell her dog for crack.
I love how they can’t imagine pee wee being 70, but sit across from 40 year old Kevin McAllister 😂
Best comment right here hahahaha
And Jay is sitting next to 70 year old Kathy Bates
@@javen9693made me laugh! Thanks!
Michael Jackson would be proud 😅
@@zenleeparadise welcome
You know right at the end there, when The Culk mentions they don't make movies like this anymore, where like a hundred different actors come on screen and have one single line (because now that would cost a small fortune), that really affected me for some reason. I got some deep and melancholic sense that we have lost some kind of magic we once had a hold of.
Friendly movies were really funny back in the day, just remember the star-studded cast of the Spy Kids franchise - They got Antonio Banderas, Salma Hayek, Steve Buscemi, George Clooney, Sylvester Stallone and more 🤯
They can do that in independent films but any mainstream movie is going to have the SAG bullshit attached to it
I was feeling the same way when he said that at the end. Funny to think I wasn’t the only one. It just hit different.
yeah, don't want those people making money from their labor. Wont anyone think of those poor studios!@@linkinparkrulz2275
@@linkinparkrulz2275 i mean.... sag is not bullshit. the studios HAVE the money to pay actors. the exec just want to hoard it all though ...
As a native San Antonian, Pee-Wee's Big Adventure has basically become a secondary cultural icon. There are less big-time movies made here than you might think, so it really stands out when one pays such great homage. RIP to a great, funny man.
This is 8 Seconds erasure and I won't stand for it

@@RickR69 Sorry, I think my wording may have been misleading - I'm not Native American, just born and raised in SA 😅
@@ASmidgeOfPidge Oh ok I was confused because of the wording.
To be fair I didn't know that there were any big time movies made there
Never thought I would see Milwaukee Culkin with the lads, I hope he becomes a successful actor
He takes good notes from his hero, mentor, and big spoon, Rich Evans
He has that boy-ish charm to him. Maybe he can use that to his advantage.
This is my family’s favorite movie. We watch it every time we get together, and I can quote every line. I even made my dad a Pee-wee Herman cake for his birthday last year. RIP to a legend.
Same here. I grew up watching the show with my folks. They appreciated the adult humor and I just liked it as a kid. We can all still watch it and enjoy to this day.
I hope this friendship lasts forever. Milwaukee Culkin is always a great addition.
The secret identity of the Milvarine.
Gonna take a moment to appreciate Mac for coming back. I absolutely love how he clicks with the guys. Seems like such a genuine soul.
Did you take a moment? How was it
@@christopher6267I took two moments and I refuse the return them.
@@christopher6267 It was great. Being appreciative and grateful for things that make me smile is pretty fantastic.
Timecode: 18:04 Mike has an epiphany about getting old. A nice real moment caught on camera. That's why these guys are the best channel on RUclips.
Amazing how he's still learning every single day, even with the dementia ❤
Nothing to do with getting old... Phil Hartman was murdered and Jan Hooks died relatively young at 57. He was pointing out how unusual it was
I cried laughing once when Pee-Wee hissed at the guys threatening him in the rain, this movie has always been a favorite.
I remember that moment when I first saw the movie, it completely undid me and my friend. We had somehow missed it in the theater but watched it together at a Friday night sleepover, then rewound the tape and watched it again.
That was Tim Burton threatening him.
I love that scene. Burton deserved it too 😂
My favourite scene in the whole movie.
These Milwaukee Culkin episodes are so magical. RIP Paul
Would disagree imo Culkin isn't that funny and tends to talk over people alot
@@justme20244 boo this man. Boooo
@@Calavera357 are you saying boo or boo-ulkin?

As a weird cameo, the “red stormtrooper” guys are from Krull- they play royal guards. I always find this a little strange because Krull is from 2 years before pee we’d big adventure. Someone must have liked that movie, or maybe the costumes were just available!
I love when Macaulay Culkin is on, he meshes so well with the guys and their senses of humor
Don't you mean Milwaukee Culkin?
@@PrimarchXThat's Mr. MacCulkin to you, sir.
Yep. The worst thing is when a celebrity goes on a show like this, and feels like they need to be “on”. Macaulay shares their enthusiasm for these movies, and you can see in the vote for BOTW #72- as canned as it was- he’s genuinely funny.
Check the credits again buddy@@landbeforetimeee
THey need to do a skit of the guys breaking into a house to 'fix' a vcr, and Culkin is there, and he's home alone, and he's like, oh, hey. Come on in. And there's all these traps that don't work, spread all over the place, and they sit down and review something.
I used to do the Tequila dance from this movie all the time as a kid. This movie is a pure treasure. I even purchased a red/white 97 Honda Valkyrie because it reminded me of Pee Wee's bike. RIP Pee Wee.
I was so sad when I found out he had passed. RIP
When i was a kid on a ski trip in Colorado, we were eating at ski up restaurant and to see who was from Texas too, i shouted "The stars at night..." and a family clapped and answered back. We sat with them and ate lunch. Thanks PeeWee
Well this is a nice surprise!!! Paul Ruebens and Phil Hartman were geniuses and are missed
I always feel a bit sad when Phil Hartman is mentioned. What a fantastic guy who was a comedic genius.
They hated eachother
Hartman > Reubens by a long long shot
These episodes are so much fun, McCulkin seems like such a joy to be around!
BTW:
"Visitors have asked daily about the basement at the Alamo thanks to the 1985 movie “Pee-wee's Big Adventure.” We're grateful for Paul Reubens' unforgettable contribution to pop culture. There is no basement in the Alamo Church, but there is one under our gift shop!"
This is the kind of stuff I love more than anything
Damn you guys are spewing out content. This is a great start to the day! Cannot wait for the next Spooktacular
Oh fuck yeah
Perhaps Mac will be involved?
@@mattkrause1573He’ll be reprising his role as the scarecrow
I have NEVER in my life clicked a notification so fast, this is the review I have been hoping for for YEARS now. It’s unfortunate that it is in the wake of Paul Reubens’ passing, but I’m so glad we get to see this. What a great way to remember an incredible performer.
And Macaulay is here too!!! What a gift!
One of my favorite films of all time. I showed it to my friend recently who had never seen it and they said it was the dumbest thing they’ve ever seen. I guess you either get it or you don’t, but I don’t know how you can’t acknowledge the range of a bunch of different incredible comedic styles in it that are executed perfectly. Great film!
Yeah this is definitely the kind of movie some people (the elderly and women) would totally not understand and just think is stupid.
that person would quickly not be my friend.
@@abstractdaddy1384yeah i could easily imagine a lot of people in your life think the things you do are stupid
@@Solanuma
Why's that?
@@abstractdaddy1384literally every woman I know likes Pee Wee, wtf are you on about? 😂
I also love how there's a deleted scene that explains Amazing Larry a little bit, but even without it, we all just accept, without a second thought, that Pee-Wee knows someone named Amazing Larry.
Yep, it’s better without establishing the character, especially combined with the unnaturalness of referring to him as Amazing Larry in a fit of anger.
The John Carpenter-scored Death Star trench run is really doing it for me
It makes it much more serious and badass
You could even use an existing Carpenter score: the bridge chase and final fight with the Duke in Escape From New York. Would totally fit!
What song was it they used? I like it a lot
It reminded me of every Italian Star Wars rip off of the 80s.
@@crakhaed It's from Escape From NY, the track is called The President is Gone.
Milwaukee Culkin is a class act. do more things man!
He's weird
Pee-wee's cameo in the in-world movie is testament to Paul's acting skill. You have to be _damn good_ to act that badly on cue.
Even him reacting to his role in the movie it's so many layers of brilliant acting and comedy
His "oh yeah, I'm supposed to be doing something" body language take at the end of the scene is absolutely masterful.
You're right, it wasn't over the top bad it was believability bad.
You don't gave to be that good, actually.
That’s my favorite scene.
When he mouths all “PW”s lines, and stares at the camera, it cracks me up.
Mac is back! It's sweet to see how happy Mike and Jay are to be hanging with Mac again.
I couldn’t tell you how far my soul was thrown out of my body as a kid when I first saw large marge make that face, the lit up dinosaurs especially was just such a beautiful shot. It really felt like from beginning to end you are legitimately on an adventure, funnily enough today my pee wees big adventure t shirt came in as you guys uploaded so I’m happy to see you guys finally cover it, rest in peace Paul 💙
The T-Rex scene also scared the shit out of me.
Mike and Jay are two of my heroes. I sensed a bit of melancholy and wistfulness in Mike here. More than I would have expected. We’re all getting older. It’s bittersweet. Mike looked sad. He covers it well. Ever the professional. Hang in there Mike.
Turns out, making fun of the elderly loses its luster once you become the elderly. A tale as old as time. Or Mike.
Mike is sad about jays ridiculous hairstyle
@@aquaticnuke That's Summer Jay to you
Us 40+ers are realizing how spoiled we were now. It is actually sad to me, also an old crotchety fuck like Mike, to witness myself a real decline over the past 20 years. What was entertainment is now a preachy bullshitfest. Give me more PeeWee's.
RIP Speen
My take on it was just honestly Mike and Jay analyzing something with a lot more reverence and respect than usual, but not much more than that. I think Mike's always hid his empathetic streak, but he really let it show here and it's something I really appreciate. Still though I can see where you're coming from too
Pee Wee and Back to the Future both cemented the idea of Rube Goldberg machines being the one missing ingredient to me having lived a life of exciting adventure and derring do.
Also, The Goonies had one.
I was born in 1980. Ghostbusters, Pee-wee's Big Adventure, and Saturday Night Live were formative to my sense of humor.
Later, The Simpsons, my dad's stash of bootleg audio cassette tapes of George Carlin and Richard Pryor, and Late Night with Conan O'Brien.
It was such a wonderful thing to realize how deeply connected all of these things were/are.
God bless Phil Hartman, Paul Rubens, Jan Hooks, Harold Ramis, and all the comics and actors who've left a legacy of wonderful comedy for us all.
this is my mom's favorite film of all time. we were all so sad at his passing, we watched it in his honor. just as funny today as it was the first time! a true classic.
A good movie made by a bunch of comedic geniuses. Honors to your Mom, as well. I'll toast this next drink to her and her commendable sense of humor xD
@@josephschultz3301she'd be so flattered you think so 😂 my dad can't stand it
BLESS YOU, Mr. McCulken!!! Always making the holiday seasons better with his sheer presence!
It's amazing how naturally Macaulay can just slide into the RLM universe, it's like he's been doing it since the beginning.
He has! It's been well established that he's their behind the scenes intern.
Macaulay Culkin is such a cool dude. I'm really glad he was able to come out of his spiral.
What? The credits clearly say he's Milwaukee Culkin 45:58
Well that's right but you pronounce it Milwaukee Culkin
Out?
You mean... you think he got better? He is doing a movie review with 2 VCR repairmen who have been scamming a poor old man. One day they will get that VCR open.
I love this movie. Its unique and just crammed full of moments I recalled from a kid. From the fun breakfast machine, to the bar dancing, to the spooky truck ride. Everything in this movie stands out for me.
This movie has my favorite scene transition. It suddenly cuts to the police station and the cop says “What leads you to believe the Soviets may be involved?”
Keep in mind, this is the 80s. With the KGB at their height, there's _always_ a chance that the Soviets might be involved xD
I jest, obviously. I love this movie.
Even better, Pee-Wee has an answer! He just gets cut off before he can respond
This is one of the greatest comedies of the 1980s, for sure. Supposedly, the part where he crashes his motorcycle into the sign wasn't supposed to happen, he genuinely crashed and they kept it in the movie.
I would love to believe that but given how far away the sign was from where the stuntman took off I find that hard to believe. Unless of course they hired a stuntman who didn't know how to ride a motorcycle and gave it the ole panic twist haha.
@@averbalin it could be apocryphal but I've definitely read it in more than one place, and if I recall correctly Tim Burton and Paul Reubens mentioned it in the DVD commentary as well.
@@seijunsejuki well shit there you go. Wouldn't have guessed it. Bad stuntman: great scene for us.
I was a kid who liked animals, so I used to watch Big Top Pee Wee more often than Big Adventure. But that one joke where Pee Wee goes "I remember the Alamo," and all the Texans cheer is my favourite joke. Also, when Pee Wee showed up as the FBI in the movie Matilda, I was so happy.
I just rewatched Big Top Peewee and it was pretty awful. There's a reason why it's not talked about in the general movie zeitgeist.
The I remember the Alamo scene is also one of my favorites.
@@snavs420 Oh yeah, Big Adventure is the superior film, no argument here. But as a dumb kid, I watched Big Top a lot more than Big Adventure. Partially because I liked all the animals in the movie, and also because Big Top didn't have a Large Marge scene to traumatize me lol. I totally agree that Big Top is awful, didn't that movie end with Pee Wee's former fiancé hooking with several dudes? (good for her?)
Macaulay Culkin is my favorite guest. We need him on more often. Great video.
He's such a charming lad
He's always super fun. The guy just loves movies, which is exactly the kind of guest you want for this kind of show. The fact that he has great chemistry with Mike and Jay (not to mention Hollywood superstar Rich Evans!) is cool too, but it's basically an afterthought.
I think you mean Milwaukee Culkin, he's even credited as such
Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure is how a young child imagines adulthood.
If I had seen this movie as a child . . . like 7 or 8 years old . . . I would completely understand Pee-Wee and his motivations. I wouldn't even question how his world worked.
That's a very astute POV! Amazingly said.
@@KneelB4Bacon
I saw it around that age. Hate to break it to you but I knew it was bizarre.
Yes, I almost see it as the Bluey almost where it's audience for Kids and adults with kids.
Oof, talk about being set up for disappointment.
I liked the part where Mike and Jay talked. Also, that guy from Home Alone was nice seeing again.
they need to get joe pesci next
This is truly what everyone's been waiting for.... Peewee's big adventure is and always will be my favorite movie of all time
Can't believe none of them noticed the Motorcycles that get knocked down by Pee-Wee are all busted up: (i.e. missing gas tank caps, broken lights, chipped paint, etc.) It's so noticeable! Kudos to them picking up the chain through the bottom of the bike and signs on a track and dolly rig.
It’s nice to see that RLM has the technology to clone Jay now.
Well if they start cloning Rich Evans we’re in BIG trouble
Especially after original Jay was killed by all those cats as an act of revenge for their fallen brothers and sisters.
😂😂😂😂 fucking funny
The Elfman score is up there with Star Wars as one of the greatest, most effective scores in cinema history. You feel something as soon as you hear it.
Even more impressive when you realize it was Elfman's first major studio film score, and only his second film score overall (the first being "Forbidden Zone", an independent film written and directed by his brother Richard).
Growing-up, my mom was typically the one to introduce movies to my siblings and I. This was one of the few movies my dad showed us and helped me get closer to my dad; since he loved Pee-Wee. It's been one of my favorites ever since.
I was born in '84, so I was right there for the cultural impact of Pee-Wee. I can't even remember the first time I saw this movie, nor how many times I've watched it still to this day. I'm almost 40 and yet anytime I meet anyone named "Andy" (male or female), you already know the first thing I hear in my head.
🦴🤚
This is one of the few movies that I remember laughing so hard, almost fainting, when I saw it with my sister in theaters as a teen! This, Something About Mary and Tropic Thunder.
FWIW on Large Marge, teachers played the film for a few elementary school classes in 1986. The claymation face terrified me but most of the assembled kids screamed in laughter. They loved the thrill.
Definitely a highly re-watchable film. Nothing else like it. So many great set pieces and performances
From the thumbnail, I thought Mike and Old Jay were doing a re:View with Young Jay. That certainly would have been ambitious.
I couldn't ask for anything better than RLM and Macauley covering, "Pee Wee's Big Adventure"! The thing I didn't know I needed in my life. Thank you everyone involved in making this happen!
That John Carpenter music added to the Star Wars clip actually worked really well. Gave it a serious Logan's Run style, post apocalyptic vibe.
I guess it sorta worked, but when I try to imagine extrapolating that style to the score of the entire film, my heart shrinks two sizes.
Idk, maybe it's just so similar to EFNY, and I love EFNY too much, but I really wanna see star wars by John Carpenter now.
Those few seconds they showed give me this vision of a much more suspenseful version, where we actually feel like there's a chance the whole attack fails and the hero might have wasted the whole journey.
Pee Wee being one of Letterman's performance art guests was an important introduction to the character prior to the movie's release.
Letterman should have cameo'd as a sock monkey salesman
...And now I'm picturing Pee-wee and Brother Theodore in a scene together!
mike continues to swell with alcoholism, whereas jay's body pushes all toxins out through his hair follicles. incredible.
Pee-Wee's Big Adventure is one of the few movies that's truly magical, and arguably the only one that's magical without being fantasy or sci-fi.
This was one of the 'magical' movies from childhood that was so different and interesting and full of feeling. Great reView.
The police pulling Pee Wee over while he's dressed as Micky's girl friend and stating "I want to get a better look at that cute little outfit you are wearing" is so great.
That’s one of the things that just went over my head when I was little that now makes me cackle like a psycho 😂
@hithere4719 I think Mickey smiling at the sight of PeeWee in drag went over our heads as kids too.
i know im not the only one that harbours this but i absolutely adore having Macaulay on the show
Me too. He’s such a cool guy despite his rough childhood. He made it out ok, I’m so glad.
@@brightspacebabehome alone was just fiction, fyi. It wasn't a documentary.
It's always great when they get a celebrity on. It must've been thrilling for Macaulay Culkin to meet the real Mike & Jay
You mean Milwaukee Culkin?
Honestly, as a Texan, that "Deep in the heart of Texas!" gag, I'd have joined in. That will legit work depending on the crowd you try it with.
We all know. We ALLL know.
The Texas Theatre recently did a screening of this movie and the entire audience sang along at this part.
Was having a terrible day & at exactly the moment i was ready to go to sleep, this pops up. Instant moodlifter, thank you for all the recent content 🙏🏼
Seeing the notification that Re:View has a new episode is like welcoming your grandma into the kitchen, putting on some coffee and you know its going to be fun, warm and wholesome.
And you get inside and Macaulay Culkin is sitting at the kitchen table

This and The Blues Brothers are my all time go-to movies when I need some comedy. Just so damn good.
"Paging Mister Herman"
"We have the Dom Perignon '61 at a hundred and ten dollars."
i somehow read this as "the third blues brothers" and i was so confused for a second
Comedies need to be gigantic adventures of epic proportion like peewees big adventure and The Blues Brothers.
I love The Blues brothers to death but although it’s a fun film I don’t find it laugh out loud funny. Never have.
I haven't seen Pee-Wee's Big Adventure as an adult, but I watched it many times as a child. I absolutely loved his house, with all the crazy inventions everywhere, similar to the 'Honey! I Shrunk the Kids!' house. I always wanted to have a house filled with one-off inventions I made. Large Marge scared the bejesus out of me, but fascinated me at the same time. And while I didn't notice the duct-tape cover to the garage door lock, this movie was the only one I can recall actually catching one of the effects. When he locks his bike up to the animatronic clown, he is pulling tons and tons of chain from the side storage on his bike... but you can see the chain being fed up through the bottom at the bottom of the frame.
I also was interested in magic props solely due to the magic store scene in this film. When my family went on vacation to Florida to go to Disneyworld, I found a magic shop that, in my memories anyway, was just like it. Small, cramped, full of random stuff. I bought fake melting ice cream cones, fake ice cubes with a fly in it, some stinky goo that if you put it on your fingertips and brought them together and apart in a pinching motion it would look like wisps of smoke coming off your hands.... a bunch of junk. As an 80s kid, Pee-Wee's Big Adventure was phenomenal.
Grew up watching this movie, and even at 29 my mom and I still watch it once a year and it just gets better and better. Thanks for covering this classic. Also great to see Mac back on the crew again!
Great video, thanks Kevin and Jay, also really nice of you guys to roll out your elderly grandfather Mike to talk with you guys, very wholesome.
Holy shit the realization that it was the STAGE SHOW that my dad had taped onto a VHS tape is insane, I always thought it was the actual show
Who would want to lookup a girl's skirt without underpants? Weird
The years-long absence was rough, but feels incredible to end. Glad you're back, Mac.
30:02 I don’t know why I laughed so hard at Mike’s interpretation of Buffalo Bill
Jay's hair has reached singer-songwriter length, is he going to break his pandemic-era record and go full hippie?
Its good to see Macauley getting out from Rich Evan's shadow.
Oh this is perfect for shutting my brain off for almost an hour, thanks Mike and Jay and Macauley Culskin. I typo'd it accidentally but I'll leave it in.
I recently found out that it's very hard to have a basement in most parts of Texas so it would actually make sense for that to be common knowledge for all of the locals around The Alamo
Phil Hartman is a legend and he would have been an incredible comedic director
He would have been amazing on Community.
F
@@marcen12imagine a world where Phil Hartman played Pierce instead of Chevy Chase. We would have six (real) seasons and a movie
@@cryptiddy A professional actor who appreciates his cast mates? That would be beautiful. But let's not wish Chevy ill will.
@@marcen12 This is an amazing “what if”
The best part of RLM is watching Jay slowly turn into the Unabomber.
Mailing people black spines and 90s infotainment/video manuals.

After watching a tape sent by Jay you die in 7 days
The Wheel of the Worst and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race.
The Milton Berle "footlong" sight gag at 22:45 was such a perfect Peewee type joke in that you have to already know the joke in order to get the joke. Well done, sirs.
This was one for the wishlist. Thanks for putting this together Guys, and Mac was a great choice as a guest.
The truck driver scene legit gave me nightmares when I was little. I went and watched it back now I'm 40 and I don't see why it creeped me out so much.
The cut to a video clip of Milton Berle as Mack says “how the sausage is made” is one of my favorite rlm visual gags of all time
Mike's impersonation of Buffalo Bill was frighteningly brilliant 😂
My perfect movie. Always brings a smile to my face.
I remember being in elementary school, we would all recite all the lines.
It had never occurred to me folks my age in the US didn't know about Pee-Wee Playhouse. I was obsessed and asked about it every day... Especially watching it now, my ADHD feels very at home and loved. I also like the Christmas special.
