Episode Description

Hosted by Jesse Blaze Snider, the Coolest Geek Alive, this Saturday Mother Show takes a deep dive into the provocative Showtime series Penn & Teller: Bullshit! from legendary illusionists Penn Jillette and Teller. While celebrating the show’s fearless spirit and its willingness to challenge conventional thinking, Jesse also flips the lens and calls out moments where the skeptics themselves may have been a little too close-minded to ever bother to figure out the real truth, because they were pre-convinced they already knew it. Even with these inconsistencies, it gets it right just as much as it gets it wrong, and some of the episodes still stand out as major calls to attention for most people. It’s a fun, geeky, and critical look at a show that made debunking cool, while asking the ultimate question: who keeps the debunkers honest, if not, the FUTURE GENERATIONS who LOVED the DEBUNKERS AT THE TIME? :)
