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.

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