The 50 Specials Of Christmas - "Pee-Wee's Playhouse"

Yikes. The Pee-Wee's Playhouse Christmas Special is... well it's gay. It's very gay. And I don't mean that in some derogatory, mean-spirited sense. I mean it in a Cher and the B-52s way. Because they're in it.

Is it good? Fuck yes, it's good. It's insane and campy and odd. It's as if the entire 1980s were trying to have a Christmas special and converged on one singular point. All we're missing is Ronald Reagan and New Coke. The rest of it feels like a nightmare I had after watching The Wedding Singer with a fever.
