"THIS IS BOTH VERY DUMB AND VERY SATISFYING" — BIRTH.MOVIES.DEATH

If the Safdie brothers (Uncut Gems) directed Paul Reubens’s dark Pee-wee Herman script (synopsis below), it *might* look something like this.
“…Pee-wee emerges from prison to become an unlikely yodeling star; then moves to Hollywood and becomes a movie star; then he develops a severe pill and alcohol addiction that turns him into a monster. ‘I’ve referred to it as the Valley of the Dolls Pee-wee movie,’ Reubens says, dead serious. ‘It's about fame.’" . . . “…he's been pitching studios on The Pee-wee Herman Story, a very un-Pee-wee-sounding screenplay that takes his puckish TV persona into dark and unexpected territory (Pee-wee gets sent to a mental hospital for shock treatment for his alcoholism, no joke).”
