I think Pee Wee also did the voice in Flight of the Navigator. Dude was everywhere. Hell he was dope in Blow. Sad about his Hollywood star getting taken away.
Wow. I am also surprised he didn't like this movie.. considering all the schlock movies he reviewed (gems like Bloodsucking Freaks and Bikini Car Wash) back when he was just a writer in Dallas. It sucks the quality of this was a bit choppy but good overall. The mail section was quite funny. I watched a recent interview with Joe Bob where told a humorous story about being in a meeting at TNT where he said that a large amount of their audience where in prisons. The executives in the meeting responded that there was nothing that they could sell to prison inmates, but a person from advertising chimed in and said that he could sell them phone cards?! Funny stuff... TV has changed so much it really can't facilitate a character like Joe Bob... he should really have a more internet presence, but perhaps he is just getting too old and/or tired of his character...
I read the transcript of Joe Bob Briggs' Monstervision host segments for Tim Burton's Beetlejuice and he gave that four stars and mentioned during it that he gets criticized a lot for bashing Pee-Wee's Big Adventure. It can't be Tim Burton's bizarre style or directing that he didn't like about Pee-Wee's Big Adventure, he just didn't find it funny at all and even says in this video that he thinks the jokes are for little kids which I completely disagree with. It's a way more clever comedy than Joe Bob gives it credit for and it's almost like he can't distinguish Pee Wee's Playhouse (which was a show for little kids) from Pee-Wee's Big Adventure which are in a completely different comedic style from one another. I've listened to the same interview that you're referring too lol, the one recorded a few months ago where he's interviewed by some host in NYC (great interview btw, well worth listening to). Joe Bob mentions that what he loved about Monstervision that he could no longer do today, is not be restricted to a very specific air time for his segments and how long they had to last. TV now is very strict in that you must begin and end any non-commercial segment to a specific start and finish time, and TNT allowed Joe Bob to just kinda do whatever he wanted and if his segments went over the time limit it didn't matter at all. The closest thing today I can think of is The Talking Dead which follows every new episode of The Walking Dead but even that they must go to commercial at an exact minute and second each segment.
The gay subtext stuff is hilarious. This movie has some good moments like Large Marge, but the bicycle story really sucks. The fat guy played Gacy got his ass beat by a leprechaun.. PeeWee's Playhouse is still cool though.
@@NickLMears I remember my mom telling me when I was a kid that Pee-Wee was pretty racy stuff for a kid so she didn't let us watch any of his shows or stand ups. Only way I was able to watch Big Adventure was because of my awesome babysitter haha
Not much love from Joe Bob, even for a movie that ends at an actual drive-in! Although it’s strange to see him without a bolo tie, JBB looks damn good in that suit.
I was in high school at this time, so the setting is perfect. Joe Bob was definitely a teacher for me, and a role model! 😊
Love the summer school intro and theme everytime he points the board pointer.
Rusty! Joe Bob is a legend.
He looks pretty good in a suit. Shame he didn't do it more often.
Only two stars though!?
I love it when he busts out academic papers during the show. It reminds me of the shit I had to write while studying film/media in college.
Pee wee's big adventure one of the silliest movies ever made. I remember pee wee's fun house. Just as silly.
I could probably recite pee weed big adventure word for word. To this day.
Since pee wee's playhouse is a kids flick this movie has been declared an dead body free zone

I loved him in Blow too, Bobcats scene was really good also.

+TheSeph1984 Wow, does that mean that all the letters he read on-air supposedly from inmates were real? I always thought they were meant as a joke.

Hey when you're a 9 year old kid none of it sucks haha
@@bonesbrigader When I first saw it I liked the TV show a lot more. Now my favorite is the PeeWee Hermin Show 1981 stand up video.

Worst crash I ever saw. Right off the Empire State Building. I think?
Not much love from Joe Bob, even for a movie that ends at an actual drive-in!

He was like a vampire 🦇, I couldn't get enough of Joe Bob as a teen.
god, women used to be so gorgeous
