The Scoop for Jan. 31, 2020

If Pee-Wee get’s his way, we’ll get a new Pee-Wee Herman movie, but not the kind you think. Nope. Paul Reubens, the guy behind Pee-Wee is looking to do a much darker movie where Pee-Wee becomes famous and develops a drug and alcohol problem that turns him into a monster.
Now you might find this hard to believe, but it’s been hard for him to find people who want to take Pee-wee down that road. Honestly, I’d see that movie.


The Property Brothers are a pretty big deal on HGTV. They even have an animated kuids show in the works. But it wasn’t always glitz, and glam and new bathtubs. Nope. The first time around their show was passed over by HGTV here in the states and in Canada. Until one exec at a little network called The Womens Network had this astute insight.
The brothers were hot.
Yep. Being pretty goes a long way.
