Just recently in from Netflix is the first season of Penn & Teller's Showtime series.
Here's the deal. They use a lot of strong language on their show because to call some one a quack, cheat, and a liar opens you up for lawsuits. Of course, you can call some one an emm effer, a BS'er, or an SOB for some reason. Therefore, they tackle lots of topics such as alien abductions, reflexology, and psychics using these highly unscientific terms.
It's not your typical Penn & Teller. I didn't find it as funny as their typical specials, but there are a lot of heartfelt moments. It's pretty bad taste to have a yuk fest one moment and then dealing with some guy who is crying over his dead mother the next moment. I guess I should expect it to be a more serious subject.
I'm off to watch Kingdom of the Spiders starring the late, great James T. Kirk. It's a movie that I recommend to no one. I expect it to be bad, and only own it because it came as two pack with Night of the Living Dead. That was two years ago, and I have still yet to watch it.
