8 1/2 (1963) & Pee-wee’s Big Adventure (1985) - The beautiful confusion

Movies About Making Movies Month marches onward with a look at two films that might (or might not) be parallel portraits of weirdos undergoing episodic crises and flitting in and out of dream sequences.

Join as Dan and Brian share their thoughts on Federico Fellini, try to make sense of the meta-narrative and weird sexual politics of 8 1/2, and ponder strange Italian film-dubbing practices.

Next, they talk through the Tim Burton joint starring the recently-parted Paul Reubens in Pee-wee's Big Adventure. Join as they relive the wacky highs and lows of Pee-wee's adventure, call out a wide variety of allusions, and celebrate Reubens' distinct and memorable comic voice.
