One of Pee-wee Herman’s bikes from Tim Burton’s 1985 film Pee-wee’s Big Adventure could soon be yours.

Coming from the estate of Jay Ward, one of the 14 iconic red bikes used during the filming of the movie will go up for sale during a two-day auction on May 3rd and 4th, hosted by Van Eaton Galleries.

According to the listing, the bike was used in several memorable scenes, including one in which Pee-wee (played by the late Paul Reubens) crashes into a curb and is thrown onto a lawn — only to pop up and deliver his signature line, “I meant to do that.” Watch a clip of that below.

It’s also the bike that Pee-wee uses to swing across a lake on a vine, Tarzan-style, while fleeing security on the Warner Bros. lot.

Built by Hollywood stuntman Gary Littlejohn, the bike has been restored to match its on-screen appearance.

HBO has just unveiled the trailer for the upcoming Paul Reubens documentary to premiere on Friday, May 23. The two-part documentary film titled Pee-wee as Himself will chronicle Reubens' lifelong run as the iconic character Pee-wee Herman, and it's based on over 40 hours of interview footage. Director Matt Wolf was able to sit with Reubens before his death in 2023, and the documentary is the result of long interviews where they often clashed over creative control, and Reubens ultimately opened up about his sexuality.

Pee-wee as Himself also includes appearances by Pee-wee's Playhouse co-stars Natasha Lyonne, S. Epatha Merkerson, and Laurence Fishburne. Other stars include Debi Mazar, David Arquette, and Laraine Newman. The film is executive produced by Eli Bush, Ronald Bronstein, Emma Tillinger Koskoff, and Uncut Gems directors Benny Safdie and Josh Safdie.

The HBO-produced project offers an inside look at Reubens' beginnings in the industry as a multifaceted comedian,...

The man behind Pee-wee Herman, Paul Reubens (Blow), is ready to truly reveal himself. It’s just unfortunate that his definitive documentary, Pee-wee as Himself, had to come out posthumously.

The HBO Original two-part documentary directed by Matt Wolf premieres Friday, May 23 at 8 p.m. Et/Pt on HBO. Put together, it’s a three-hour, 20-minute portrait of Reubens. And that’s exactly how the two parts will air on linear HBO — together. You can watch them however you want on Max.

Pee-wee as Himself is centered on “a soul-baring interview” with Reubens, per the synopsis, and is “a window into his never-before-discussed personal life.” It was a particularly lengthy soul-baring interview: Pee-wee as Himself is pieced together from more than 40 hours of interview footage filmed before Reubens’ death in 2023. Wolf also had at his disposal more than 1,000 hours of archival footage and “tens of thousands of never-before-seen photographs” from Reubens’ personal collections,...

Followers of musicals will likely remember the 1955 Oscar-nominated classic Guys and Dolls, directed by legendary Hollywood director Joseph L. Mankiewicz (Herman’s brother). The movie was a critical and commercial success at the time, and while it is not a top-tier musical, it is still a major classic.

Now, in an era when old movies are being remade, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that a remake of Guys and Dolls is currently in pre-production and while it is still in very early phases of development, we have an interesting rumor related to it.

Namely, according to a new rumor, the movie is aiming to land a major A-list actress as its star!

The central conceit of classic sitcom The Munsters was that the family of vampires and ghouls was just like the clan on Leave It to Beaver, except the relatives occasionally transformed into bats. To get the point across, the earliest seasons of The Munsters patterned their opening theme song off another classic sitcom, only with a morbid twist.

While The Donna Reed Show hasn’t stayed in the public consciousness as long as The Munsters, it lasted for a whopping 275 episodes over eight seasons from the late 1950s through the mid-1960s. Families didn’t get much more whitebred than the Stones, and each episode began with Donna Stone (Reed) handing out nutritious lunches to her children and husband as they left for another mundane day outside the family home.

In its first season, The Munsters openly mocked The Donna Reed Show open, recreating each of its beats but with a ghoulish flourish.

Let’s face it, the Russo brothers’ post-mcu career as co-directors in Cherry and The Gray Man lacked the same widespread praise seen in their winning trio of Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame. Before the two returns to MCU for Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars, they are now headlining a brand-new Netflix movie The Electric State, the streaming giant’s most expensive feature ever produced at reportedly $320 million.

At the time of writing, that would be the 13th most expensive movie, trailing just five million less than Avengers: Infinity War. A budget this big, coupled with the dystopian sci-fi angle adapted from Simon Stålenhag’s acclaimed 2018 illustrated novel of the same name that looks right from the Russo brothers’ wheelhouse and not to forget, a recognizable cast both on-screen and voice-only acting, it’s natural to have a high expectation here. Adding a...

The Electric State promised big adventure and even bigger action during a panel at New York Comic Con, which showed off Anthony and Joe Russo’s latest Netflix film.

The footage and discussion with creatives and cast — including Chris Pratt and Millie Bobby Brown — was presented to an electric crowd at the Empire Stage on Thursday, hours after a new teaser trailer dropped online.

The film hits Netflix on March 16 and is a spin on Simon Stalenhag’s graphic novel, which explores a battle between man and intelligent machine set in the ‘90s.

Electric State follows Michelle (Brown), a young woman with a sweet but mysterious robot who teams up with eccentric drifter Keats (Pratt) for a cross-country expedition to find her brother in a retro-futuristic U.S., where an uneasy peace has settled following a human and AI war.

Netflix has debuted a teaser trailer for the retro adventure starring Millie Bobby Brown, ‘The Electric State.’

Coming from the directors of ‘Avengers: Endgame’ set in an alternate, retro-futuristic version of the 1990s. Millie Bobby Brown stars as Michelle, an orphaned teenager navigating life in a society where sentient robots resembling cartoons and mascots, who once served peacefully among humans, now live in exile following a failed uprising.

Everything Michelle thinks she knows about the world is upended one night when she’s visited by Cosmo, a sweet, mysterious robot who appears to be controlled by Christopher — Michelle’s genius younger brother whom she thought was dead. Determined to find the beloved sibling she thought she had lost, Michelle sets out across the American southwest with Cosmo and soon finds herself reluctantly joining forces with Keats, a low-rent smuggler, and his wisecracking robot sidekick, Herman (voiced by Anthony Mackie).

We recently got our first look at the movie via some promo stills, and Netflix has now released the first trailer.

Anthony and Joe Russo, the Russo Brothers, have directed some of the biggest movies of all time, with their film Avengers: Endgame coming in second place just behind James Cameron’s Avatar – and today, a teaser trailer for the new movie, the sci-fi adventure The Electric State, has dropped online! This teaser, which reveals that the movie is set to begin streaming on Netflix on March 14th, can be viewed in the embed above.

The story of this film begins in July of 2017, when Free League launched a Kickstarter campaign to raise funds for a new narrative artbook from acclaimed artist and author Simon Stålenhag – a book called The Electric State, which had the following description: In late 1997, a runaway teenager and her yellow toy robot travel west through a strange USA, where the ruins of gigantic battle drones litter the countryside heaped together with the discarded trash of a...

Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt are taking a road-trip through the post-apocalyptic '90s in the first trailer for "The Electric State." The upcoming Netflix movie is based on the atmospheric visual novel of the same name by Simon Stålenhag, and was adapted by the creative team behind Marvel movies like "Avengers: Endgame" and "Captain America: Civil War".

The film is set in a retro-futuristic version of America, where cartoonish robots have been exiled to an area called the Exclusion Zone following a failed uprising. Brown plays Michelle, an orphaned teenager who embarks on a quest to find her missing brother inside the Exclusion Zone, with a little help from a robot called Cosmo (voiced by Alan Tudyk), a smuggler called Keats (Pratt), and Keats' giant robot sidekick, Herman (voiced by Anthony Mackie).

On the human side, the cast also includes Ke Huy Quan, Jason Alexander, Giancarlo Esposito, the always-delightful Stanley Tucci,...

Millie Bobby Brown may soon be saying bye to the ’80s-set “Stranger Things,” but the Netflix staple star isn’t traveling far in time (or space) for her upcoming film “The Electric State.”

Brown leads the adventure feature alongside Marvel alum Chris Pratt, who reunites with his “Avengers: Endgame” co-directors Anthony and Joe Russo for the 1990s-set film. Brown plays Michelle, an orphaned teen who is navigating life in a society where sentient robots resembling cartoons and mascots live in exile after a failed uprising. Yet after Michelle befriends lovable robot Cosmo, who appears to be controlled by her maybe-dead younger brother, she sets out to find the truth about what really happened to her family.

Of course, Brown’s co-star Pratt seems to be continuing his “Guardians of the Galaxy” alter ego by once again playing a futuristic smuggler.

The official synopsis reads: “Determined to find the beloved sibling she thought she had lost,...

After dominating Netflix in Stranger Things, Enola Holmes and its sequel, and Damsel, Millie Bobby Brown will be back on the streamer in a big way. Not only with the fifth and final season of Stranger Things make its premiere at some point in 2025, but the young star will again headline another Netflix original blockbuster with the forthcoming sci-fi adventure movie The Electric State.

Based on the graphic novel of the same name by Simon Stålenhag, The Electric State comes from directors Anthony and Joe Russo and writers Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely. The quartet previously worked together on the Avengers movies Infinity War and Endgame, which each grossed well over $2 billion worldwide.

Even though The Electric State was first intended to be released in 2024, the film will now make its streaming debut on Netflix in 2025. On Oct. 17, Netflix announced that the movie will release on March 14, 2025. More than anything,...

This article contains spoilers for Mr. Crocket, now stremaing on Hulu.

For Halloween, Hulu is serving up a creepy treat with a new horror movie thats the Pee-Wee's Playhouse and Terrifier cross audiences never knew they needed. Horror is an expansive, sometimes fickle genre, where it can be difficult for new names to find their stride. However, the beauty of horror lies in its boundless creativity, from its characters to its plots, and in what people find terrifying. As Mr. Crocket slinks onto Hulu for the Halloween season, Terrifier 3 slashes its way across theaters, and nostalgia continues to dominate TV; the three collide to create a perfect storm of horror. But this also raises questions about what Mr. Crockets arrival says about how horror icons are born and how far such a bizarre concept can go.

Inspired by the short that premiered on the horror anthology series Bite Size Halloween,...

The 1980s might seem like a weird time from a distance, but if you were there for the decade, it was a largely ten-year stretch of mind-numbing conformity.

Pop music mostly sounded the same, television was dominated by rote sitcoms and nighttime soaps, and the movies were chasing the high-concept dragon. Formula was king. So anything or anybody that broke with the status quo was a godsend to those of us who weren't good, undemanding consumers. We needed off-kilter, mainstream-friendly visionaries like David Byrne, the Kids in the Hall, and Paul Reubens — artists who could be weird without offending the conservative sensibilities of the era's rank-and-file (which created problems of access if you grew up outside a major media market).

I'll forever be amazed that Reubens' Pee-wee Herman, a funny-talking dweeb who could switch from ingratiating to irritating on a dime, became an entertainment phenomenon. But I also don't think...

Jared Fogle, former Subway spokesperson, was revealed to be a child predator engaged in child pornography and child sex tourism. Rochelle Herman, a radio host, became an integral part of exposing Fogle's pedophilic nature and recorded their conversations. Despite the evidence, it took years for Fogle to be arrested, but he was ultimately sentenced to 15 years in prison.

When the Discovery+ series Jared from Subway: Catching a Monster was first released, many horrifying revelations and facts about Jared Fogle played out throughout the documentary. Fogle initially gained recognition when he revealed that he lost around 245 lbs thanks to a rigorous diet plan in which he exclusively ate turkey and veggie subs at Subway every day between 1998 and 1999. Fogle's fame eventually convinced Subway to hire him as a spokesperson. Between 2000 and 2015, he appeared in over 300 commercials.

What are your thoughts on Arizona's big return? Do you feel like there were some missed opportunities?

It's amazing to see how far her career has come. But yes, I definitely think there were some missed opportunities. Why didn't anyone ask about how Callie and Sofia were doing?

After watching the latest episode of 90 Day Fiance, viewers are convinced that Citra Wilson is expecting a baby.

The reality TV newbie is sharing her storyline alongside Sam Wilson this season on the flagship series.

Sam and Citra met on a dating app, and after some initial hesitation, the two fell for each other and met in person for the first time after two years of online, long-distance dating.

Sam traveled from his home state of Missouri all the way to Citra’s native country, Indonesia, where they fell even more in love and got engaged.

In Sunday’s episode of 90 Day Fiance, we watched as Citra’s father, Herman, a police officer, arrived in America and discovered that Sam has a bit of a checkered past and is potentially facing jail time.

Although Sam’s potential time behind bars was the focus of his and Citra’s storyline this week,...

Sam and Citra may consider leaving America after getting married. Sam wants to have a family and decide if they should live in America or Bali. Sam plans to visit Indonesia again soon and wants his family to meet Citra's family.

90 Day Fiancé star Sam Wilson is revealing he could leave America for good with Citra after getting married. Sam is a 30-year-old from Cameron, Missouri while Citra is 26 and is from Bogor, West Java, in Indonesia. Sam and Citra met on a dating app. Sam had flown to Citra’s country to propose to her where he met her family and learned that he had to convert to Islam before getting married. Sam brought Citra to America on a K-1 visa. Citra had accepted Sam’s drug past and was aware that he could land in jail for having missed his deadline to apply for a diversion program.

Upon learning about Sam’s secret,...

Quiz Lady director Jessica Yu remembers Paul Reubens as a joy on set.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Yu recalls hiring the comedy icon best known for his Pee-wee Herman character in her new comedy starring Awkwafina. As Reubens' final movie role, Yu remembers the comedian as a dream to direct. "It was on our first day of shooting that we had him," Yu said. "I felt like it was such a good omen because the moment everybody knew that Pee-wee was on set, everyone's spirits lifted. He meant so much to people, and he was just so delightful. Bringing this moment of magic to the film is such a lovely memory, but is now quite bittersweet. No one knew what he was going through at that time."

San Francisco, Aug 27 (Ians) Global cybersecurity company Fortinet has reportedly laid off employees in roles related to sales, business development and channel partners.

According to Crn, Fortinet had 13,677 employees and contractors as of June 30.

Some of the affected employees of the US-based security company took to professional network LinkedIn to post about the job cuts.

“I’m writing to share some difficult news that I was affected today by a round of layoffs at Fortinet, that has also affected many others in the Cdr/Bdr org,” posted Noah Herman, a channel development specialist with Fortinet.

“While it is hard, I understand that this is also difficult for the company and that this isn’t personal. Thank you to everyone who supported me and helped me develop during my time in the role,” Herman added.

The director and co-writer of Weird: The Al Yankovic Story now has his sights set on exploring the life and career of another comedy icon with a Paul Reubens biopic — and he even knows who to cast.

Serving as more of a parody of musician biopics than an accurate portrayal of "Weird Al" Yankovic, Weird: The Al Yankovic Story was released on The Roku Channel last year. Having since been nominated for the Primetime Emmy Awards, the film was co-written by the real Yankovic alongside director Eric Appel. Speaking with ComicBook.com, Appel was asked about what he'd like his follow-up project to be. He shared his hopes to make a Paul Reubens movie, though he clarified that it'd be a more serious biopic compared to Weird.

Aporia is a time travel film that focuses on the drama and emotions of its characters, rather than the sci-fi elements. Judy Greer delivers an excellent dramatic performance in Aporia, stepping out of her comedic comfort zone. The film understands its limitations and delivers a sensible and well-executed story, without relying on flashy visuals or gimmicks.

Editor's note: This piece was written during the 2023 WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. Without the labor of the writers and actors currently on strike, the movie being covered here wouldn't exist.

Writer-director Jared Moshe’s third feature is his first that is not a Western. For Aporia, he turns to the world of time travel and family tragedy. The film boasts some of Judy Greer’s best dramatic work to date and familiar faces like Edi Gathegi help to solidify the film's supporting cast. There are many time travel films with similar plots,...

"Ghostbusters" famously went through many iterations behind the scenes before it became a blockbuster hit in 1984. John Candy could have played Louis Tully, John Belushi was originally envisioned as Peter Venkman, and Eddie Murphy would have joined the team as Winston Zeddemore. But as we all know, Rick Moranis, Bill Murray, and Ernie Hudson stepped into those roles and cemented themselves in Hollywood history. However, there's another intriguing piece of casting you might not have heard about, and it involves the late, great Paul Reubens.

If you've seen "Ghostbusters," you know that the primary villain turns out to be Gozer the Gozerian, a shapeshifting, inter-dimensional, apocalyptic entity, who has been worshiped as a Sumerian god. Though Gozer can appear however it wants, they take the form of an intimidating woman in an ethereal body suit with terrifying red eyes and a flattop haircut. In the movie, Gozer is played by Yugoslav model Slavitza Jovan,...

Exclusive: Well Go USA Entertainment has acquired North American rights to Aporia, a previously unannounced sci-fi thriller from Armian Pictures starring Judy Greer (Halloween Kills), Edi Gathegi (The Harder They Fall), Payman Maadi (A Separation) and Faithe Herman (Shazam!). The film, written and directed by Jared Moshé (The Ballad of Lefty Brown), is slated for release in theaters in August. (Check out the first still from it above.)

Aporia follows Sophie (Greer), who since losing her husband Mal (Gathegi) in a drunk-driving accident, has struggled to manage crippling grief, a full-time job, and the demands of parenting her devastated teenage daughter (Herman). When her husband’s best friend (Maadi), a former physicist, reveals he and Mal had been building a time-bending machine that could restore her former life, Sophie will be faced with an impossible choice — and unforeseeable consequences.

The film is produced by Neda Armian (Rachel Getting Married) and...

Grey’s Anatomy hit a turning point in Season 11. The season included the passing of April and Jackson’s son, Callie and Arizona’s divorce and most notably, Derek’s death. It also featured one of the show’s more famous and impactful guest stars: Academy Award winner Geena Davis. Davis’s Dr. Nicole Herman was involved in three of the season’s major storylines and was instrumental in the show's narrative and emotional shift. The culmination of Davis’ guest arc came in Season 11, Episode 14, "The Distance."

The majority of the first half of the season focused on Herman’s brain tumor and the urgency with which she trained Arizona to be a world-class fetal surgeon, in her anticipation of death. Her involvement in the main characters' lives created the emotional impact of the episode, which followed Arizona and Amelia through two career-defining surgeries. In addition to being one of the most well-structured episodes,...
