Bicycle Thieves vs Pee-wee's Big Adventure

Get your hands off my bicycle! This week we're comparing two movies about bicycle theft and so much more. Representing the arthouse, it’s the 1948 Italian Neorealist classic Bicycle Thieves directed by Vittorio de Sica. And representing the mainstream, it’s Tim Burton’s 1985 feature film debut Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure starring Paul Ruebens. Which one will enter the canon? And which one will be tossed in the trash canon? Listen to find out! Plus we play a round of the fun new movie game Theft or Homage!
