Indecent exposure in an adult theater, then a separate charge, years later re: photos. There was no "child pornography". There was gay porn/smut, and "indecent" art-type photos. Framing it as "child porn" was wildly inaccurate.

The indecent exposure was him masturbating in a theater showing porn, not like he was just whipping it out on the street.
The child porn was a few pieces of "vintage artwork" in his huge collection of art. That was actually dropped.

What a ride the Christmas special was. Grace Jones - everything about her was fantastic.

I had also forgotten about Penny. I loved those shorts. I could almost feel my polyblend NKOTB pjs from when I watched at my dad's house before he got up.

Side note, I couldn’t help but notice a doppelgänger resemblance between Paul Ruebens and Alan Cumming.

Was a setup to "cancel" him to the soccer mom crowd. He made some rich insider industry enemies.

Cancel-culture is such a malignant cancer in American society.

Hope is disappears forever.

Omg. You're insufferable.

Also very likely some of the same people that went after him are producing or profiting from this program.

Hollywood always waits until someone famous is dead to make their movie so they don't have to pay royalties and such. All about that money.

This was SO good! Tons of archival footage and interviews. The man was a creative genius, wrongfully "cancelled" for something he didn't even do.

As an 80s kid, his show was a huge part of my childhood. Glad to see the behind-the-scenes. RIP Pee-Wee!
