Show notes

Louis Myles, director of Kaiser: The Greatest Footballer Never to Play Football, a Prime Video documentary which delves into the astonishing true story of Carlos Henrique Raposo, better known as "Kaiser." Despite lacking the skills to play professional football, Kaiser managed to sustain a career spanning over two decades by cleverly deceiving clubs and the media. He signed with numerous teams, including prominent Brazilian clubs, yet remarkably never played in an official match. His tactics included feigning injuries, orchestrating fake phone calls, and leveraging relationships with journalists and fellow players to maintain his facade. Kaiser's charm and cunning allowed him to live the lavish lifestyle of a football star, earning him the nickname "King of Rio.”

Ep. - 1311 - PEE-WEE AS HIMSELF KATHY GRIFFIN May 29, 2025

Show notes

Pee-Wee As Himselfis an HBO Max two-part documentary exploring the life and career of Paul Reubens, known for his character Pee-wee Herman.

Directed by Matt Wolf, Pee-wee as Himself is constructed around over 40 hours of candid interviews with Reubens, conducted before his passing in 2023. The film delves into his early influences in circus and avant-garde theater, his meteoric rise with Pee-wee’s Playhouse and Pee-wee’s Big Adventure, and the deliberate separation he maintained between his personal identity and his Pee-wee persona. The documentary also addresses the controversies that impacted Reubens’ career, including his 1991 arrest and the 2002 charges related to vintage erotica, which were later dropped. In a poignant final audio message recorded shortly before his death, Reubens reflects on the pain of being misunderstood and emphasizes the importance of self-acceptance and non-conformity—a message he consistently aimed to impart to his audience.

Joining Kate is two-time Emmy and Grammy award-winning comedian Kathy Griffin, one of Paul Reubens good friends.
