Big announcement! This is the first episode of Season 2 of Read it and Weep. We’re going to be experimenting a bit more with the format of the show to try to create something better and more exciting. As always, we’d love to hear what you think!

To start out the new season, we’re doing a series of episodes on the theme, Does It Hold Up? We’re inviting really cool, funny people on, asking them to pick a topic that meant a lot to them as a youth, and trying to decide if they still feel the same way about it. We started things off with comedian Simon Gibson (catch him on the Amazon original series Inside Jokes) and he made us watch Pee-wee’s Big Adventure. Alex had never seen it before. Will he like it? Find out!

Mentioned on this episode

Jimmy The Raven — the crow actor from It’s a Wonderful Life.
