The 5 best moments from Netflix's 'Pee-wee's Big Holiday' explained by the screenwriter

It's been 31 years, but Pee-wee Herman is finally back with the Netflix movie "Pee-wee's Big Holiday." It's a hilarious reminder that the childlike comedy of Pee-wee creator Paul Reubens still works.

Years in the making, the movie saw Reubens teaming with Judd Apatow, who came on as a producer to help get the latest Pee-wee movie off the ground. One of Apatow's contributions was connecting Reubens with comic Paul Rust.

The star and cocreator of the Netflix show "Love," Rust is also a die-hard Pee-wee fan, and jumped at the chance to cowrite the "Big Holiday" screenplay with Reubens.

Rust talked to Business Insider about how five of his favorite moments from the movie were created.
