  • “Pee-Wee As Himself” with director Matt Wolf

    “Pee-Wee As Himself” with director Matt Wolf
    Jun 6 2025
    My mother had a long friendship with Paul Reubens, and so by proximity I did too. For me, “Pee-wee as Himself” (now streaming on MAX), directed by Matt Wolf, was at the top of my list to stream when it aired. The two-part show looks at Reubens’ life and career as alter ego Pee-wee Herman, whose irreverent comedy took the world by storm in the 1980s. Matt joins me to talk about what it was like meeting a hero; the great level of control that Paul Reubens brought to all of his work – including this documentary; how Paul tried to rebound from the scandal that nearly ended his career, and how the film’s surprise ending came to be.

  • Liz Garbus Uncovers the Gilgo Beach Murders

    Liz Garbus Uncovers the Gilgo Beach Murders
    May 23 2025
    When news that the bodies of four female sex workers had been found on Long Island’s Gilgo Beach, it captured the attention of not only the nation but the world. Director Liz Garbus examines this gripping true crime case in “Gone Girls: The Long Island Serial Killer” (now streaming on Netflix) and shines a light not only on the families struggling to serve justice for their lost loved ones, but also the rampant corruption within the Suffolk County Police Department and DA’s office. Liz talks to me about what brought her back to this story after writing and directing a “based-on-true-events” feature film about the crime, how the press was instrumental in keeping the case alive, what it was like looking into the twisted mind of indicted suspect Rex Heuermann, and where things go with the case from here.
