Joel Murphy and Andy McIntyre watch maligned movies and find their silver linings. For the month of August, they are watching films that had a great concept but couldn’t quite nail the execution.

This week, in honor of the late, great Paul Reubens, Joel and Andy watch Big Top Pee-Wee, Reubens’ uneven follow up to the beloved Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure.

Theme Song: “Bankin’” by Bronson Scott

[This episode was recorded during the 2023 WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. Without the labor of the writers and actors currently on strike, the film being discussed wouldn’t exist.]
