Pee-wee Herman Part 2 with Jamie Loftus

from You're Wrong About · host Sarah Marshall

In the second part of our series, pop culture historian Jamie Loftus takes us through the meteoric rise of Pee-wee Herman and the withering of Paul Reubens' world as dubious allegations surface that threaten to turn a beloved children’s character into a real life villain. Jamie tells us about his struggle to reconcile the character of Pee-wee with the real Paul Reubens, and how his longtime friendships became his sanctuary until the very end.  Content Warning: This episode contains discussion of explicit materials involving minors  More about Jamie Loftus: https://www.jamieloftus.xyz/ Support You're Wrong About: Bonus Episodes on PatreonBuy cute merch Sarah's other show, You Are Good Support the show Learn more about your ad choices.
