My dad and Pee wee were the same age. Hard to see someone my dads age doing what he did

I heard Fishburne talk about how he got the gig. It was interesting. He knew PeeWee back in the day which was cool.

We had a time with the first movie. I think Phil Hartman cowrote the screenplay.

Fun fact: John Singleton was a security guard on Pee Wee's Playhouse where he made a lot of connections. He insisted to everyone he met on set that he was going to be a big film maker. Few believed him. One who did was Larry Fishburne.

A few years later, after a long story, John Singleton kept his promise and hired Fishburne for his first major film role; Furious Styles in a movie called Boyz in the Hood. Launching Lawrence Fishburne's career.

Are we all old enough to remember when he was just Larry?

Charlie's mom on It's Always Sunny was Miss Yvonne. She was in The Groundlings with Paul Rubens and Phil Heartman.

I loved Peewee's playhouse when I was a kid. I wore out the Peewee's Big Adventure VHS. Also love the Matrix. I was today-years-old when I realized he was in both.

Cowboy Curtis and Morpheus are two different people to me. You can't convince me otherwise.

I never understood any of this show.

I was 10 when it came out, Maybe I was too old?

Absurdism at its finest. The movie Peewee's Big Adventure was epic as a kid.

So did PeeWee take the blue pill or the red pill?

First one, then the other.

He stuck one up each nostril first, made a funny face, dramatically sneezed them back into his hand and said heh heh before popping them in his mouth.

…and he was like 15 years old when they filmed it. Credited as Larry Fishburne.

Clean...Mr Clean. He was from some South Bronx shit hole, but the light and the space of Vietnam really put the zap on his brain.

I randomly watched an episode of Peewee this morning on YouTube, it was the rain episode where everyone was bored and he showed us how to make paper airplanes, and why making prank calls is bad. It was some intense time travelling nostalgia feels!

But not quite as cool as seeing David Keith on Mr. Rogers.

Unfortunately, no one can tell you what the playhouse is. You have to see it for yourself.

[-]

Taupenbeige@reddit

The Playhouse is everywhere. It is all around us. Even now, in this very room. You can see it when you look out your window or when you turn on your television. You can feel it when you go to work... when you go to church... when you pay your taxes. It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth.

Today’s secret word.
