This week on the InSession Film Podcast, it’s all about childhood nostalgic as we look back at the 1990 live-action film Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (inspired by Mutant Mayhem in theaters) and also take a deep dive into the world of Paul Reubens as we discuss Pee-wee’s Big Adventure! Plus, a little more discussion on Barbie as it crosses $1 billion at the box office.
On that note, check out this week’s show and let us know what you think in the comment section. Thanks for listening and for supporting the InSession Film Podcast!
– Barbie Box Office (9:20)
It was inevitable, but it finally happened over the weekend. Barbie hit $1 billion at the box office and we wanted to briefly talk about its significance, and how the train may not slow down any time soon given its competition over the next few weeks.
– Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (18:42)
The 1990 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles films is especially nostalgic for JD as it was the first movie he ever saw in theaters as a kid. However, we both grew up on these movies and wanted to go back and look at why that first film actually holds up pretty well. Even with all of its 90isms and quirkiness, the film takes itself seriously enough that it’s actually poignant at times.
– Pee-wee’s Big Adventure (1:09:35)
With the passing of the late-great Paul Reubens, we wanted to continue our nostalgic road trip to talk about one of his most iconic movies in Pee-wee’s Big Adventure, a film that is particularly close to Brendan. Early Tim Burton certainly helps, but this is Reubens at the height of his powers in many ways and one of the best depictions of Pee-wee Herman.
