With millions still mourning the loss of one dear Paul Reubens, there are all sorts of tributes honoring his memory, especially when it comes to Pee Wee Herman.

So, with that in mind, we hear that the good folks down at Dynasty Typewriter are doing a special free screening of “Strange Man Bicycle Caper” this Sat. Aug. 5th at 10PM. Is that a certain famous movie about trying to find some sort of two wheel dedicated mode of transporation or not? You’d have to (and probably should) go see for yourself.

There is an RSVP, but admission is still first come, first served. No matter if you make it in or not, you should ready a red bow tie, just in case.

TCB Debriefing 7/31/23: RIP Paul Reubens, Friars Club, Daniel Sloss, Two Dykes and a Mic, Barbenheimer

1. RIP Paul Reubens, (1952-2023). Undoubtedly, there will be screenings of Pee Wee movies at a theater near you in his honor. Take the opportunity to pay your respects and honor his memory by treasuring his work with a crowd of strangers in a movie theater.

2. For the first time ever, the venerable comedy institution known as The Friars Club (a group that help perfect the art of roasting far before Comedy Central, Roast Battle, etc.) will be airing their exclusive, legendary roasts for a month on Friars Club Radio (SiriusXM channel 109 and on the SiriusXM App). Specifically, these roasts that were only privy to their membership can be heard from Aug. 6th-Sept. 2nd (and probably will be behind a pay wall afterwards). Don’t miss out on roasts like Sarah Silverman going in on Jerry Lewis if you have SiriusXM.

3. One of the most biggest touring international comedians, Daniel Sloss, has just announced a U.S. tour coming this Fall running from Oct. 6th-Nov. 3rd. It’s about time Americans got a reminder from a Scotsman on how to do dark comedy.

4. Barbie/Barbenheimer continues to set box office records (THR). Perhaps, when Margot Robbie says a movie is going to be a billion dollar movie (even if she doesn’t know if it’s true), maybe there’s something to it.

5. Does Elon Musk resigning to remove a giant X sign on a building mean the death of the letter “X” being cool?

From either side of the comedy spectrum, Netflix has got you covered.

The UK’s Jimmy Carr new hour special Funny Business and the Judd Apatow-produced and John Lee-directed Pee-wee’s Big Holiday movie are Netflix’s latest comedy offerings.

If you’ve finished up with Netflix’s Characters and Love, binge watching the two might actually be less of a time commitment than going through an entire first season of a Netflix series.

Netflix has already nabbed up The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt from NBC and now they’ve gotten distribution rights from Universal, the film side of NBC Universal, to the upcoming Pee-wee Herman movie that will start shooting sometime next year.

Judd Apatow is producing and Paul Reubens and Paul Rust are co-writing the movie together, which makes for another big score for the online streaming giant and yet another sign of where movie and TV distribution is headed.
