He meant to do that. The late-great Paul Reubens character, Pee Wee Herman, made his cinematic splash in 1985's Pee Wee's Big Adventure. The film was coincidentally the feature film debut of director Tim Burton. The happy marriage created a beloved box office hit. But now, decades later, is the titular "man child" just too much or not enough? Is "Dotty" now endearing or desperate? Is "Large Marge" still as menacing? The Old Roommates pour two big bowls of Mr. T cereal and give it all a rewatch through their middle-aged lens. Listen to this.
