Listen "Interview - Matt Wolf for Pee-Wee as Himself"
Episode Synopsis
Filmmaker Matt Wolf is here to chat about his Paul Reubens documentary: Pee-Wee as Himself and the challenges of going toe to toe with the bowtied artist himself.More about Pee-Wee as HimselfPee-wee as Himself is the definitive story of the artist and performer Paul Reubens and his indelible alter ego Pee-wee Herman. Rubens’ first film Pee-wee’s Big Adventure and his children’s television series Pee-wee’s Playhouse were cultural touchstones of the 1980s. However, when Reubens was arrested for indecent exposure, the strict separation he created between himself and his alter ego backfired.Prior to his recent death, Reubens spoke in-depth about the kaleidoscopic influences that inspired his groundbreaking work, and the personal tribulations he faced to persevere as an artist. As somebody who lost control of his personal narrative in the media, Reubens found himself at odds with the documentary process. But at the end of his life, he took a leap of faith, and decided that the film should be finished.Find us atwww.werewatchingwhat.com instagram.com/werewatchingwhattiktok.com/@werewatchingwhatTHEDHK can be found at instagram.com/thedhk , twitter.com/thedhk, and facebook.com/thedhkmovies
