May 28, 2025 The Prestige of Pee Wee Herman
With Ben Rogers out on vacation, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina take the mic and dive into everything from magician movies to the legacy of Pee-wee Herman. Krystina kicks things off with a surprising revelation: she finally watched The Prestige—and it blew her mind. That sparks a hilarious back-and-forth about The Illusionist, why 2006 was the year of dueling magic movies, and how her magician-loving boyfriend roped her into a Memorial Day movie marathon.But the real magic comes when Skin passionately breaks down the new HBO documentary Pee-wee Herman as Himself. What starts as a nostalgic trip turns into a heartfelt exploration of Paul Reubens’ life, his creative genius, and the surprising influence Pee-wee had on SpongeBob SquarePants. From his early days in The Groundlings with Phil Hartman to the character that thankfully didn’t age well (a lounge-singing Native American), the doc reveals a side of Pee-wee most never knew.

May 28, 2025Box Office Bombshells

The irony? That’s literally the plot of the movie. The reactions are priceless:
“They probably thought Tom Cruise was about to parachute in.”
“I’ve seen a goldfish kill a kid in that movie. A ceiling collapse is tame.”
