Nathan Rabin's Bad Ideas
When I sold Scribner the novel that would become 2013’s You Don’t Know Me But You Don’t Enjoy Me it was tentatively titled Confessions of a Pop Culture Masochist. Before I became a Juggalo whose idea of heaven is a six and a half hour Phish concert the idea of immersing myself in the worlds of Insane Clown Posse and Phish struck me as deeply masochistic.
I was wrong! Oh adorable blessed Lord was I ever wrong! I was so wrong that writing that book changed my life and the way I see the planet. It made me more open, more empathetic and ultimately more kind.
My revelatory, transformative experiences following Phish and Insane Clown Posse made me wonder if other widely maligned show were also secretly amazing. It led to projects like watching every free Ernest P. Worrell film for this here Substack.
So when I saw that Pauly Shore would be performing in my hometown of Atlanta, the pop culture masochist in me was intrigued. Seeing him perform in 2023 seemed like a very poor, or at least questionable, idea and when my wife expressed an interest in going with me to see the now fifty five year aged Weasel from our fuzzy collective past I p
How Pauly Shore Accidentally Became a Gen-Z LGBTQ Star on TikTok
If you were confused to learn recently that Pauly Shore is the voice of Pinocchio in an upcoming animated film about the wooden puppet, you’re not the only one. When Shore — the legendary star and comedian who starred in a slew of Nineties hits from Biodome to Encino Man — was initially approached about the role, he mind the message might’ve been an error.
“I made my manager read the email two or three times,” he tells Rolling Stone. “Like, ‘Are you sure? Are you sure?’ And he was like, ‘No, no, they want you.'”
Thus began one of the stranger and more delightful collaborations in cinema history — one that resulted in a trailer that set TikTok on heat after its launch on Jan. 26. The trailer for Pinocchio: A Real Story (which releases on DVD and VOD Rally 22) starts about the way you’d expect: with a shot of the elderly puppet-maker Geppetto lovingly crafting the movie’s eponymous wooden puppet while making gentle, parent-friendly jokes about the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Then the puppet comes to life (“I
When mentioning popular names in comedy, one cannot overlook the unique contributions of Pauly Shore. Known for his distinctive comedic approach and persona, the comedian rose to fame in the 1990s, leaving an indelible mark on the genre. But aside from his profession, fans are curious about his personal life, as well as his sexuality. So, who is the comedian dating? And is Pauly Shore gay?

Vidur Kapur is not the average comic—for several reasons.
The two most prominent reasons are that he’s Indian-American—and openly gay. However, he is also the only openly gay performer who has been in India and Middle East—not simply as a comic, but speaking out on many issues, including the criminalization of homosexuality.
Kapur will be part of Pauly Shore’s new Showtime special, Pauly-tics, which will air Oct. 26.
Windy City Times: OK, so how does someone go from graduating from…
Vidur Kapur: [Laughs]…the London University of Economics to becoming a stand-up comedian. Adequately, someone has to be a little insane to make that transition. So, it’s insanity and a lack of rationality. You go from working for companies like Booz Hamilton and Deloitte, making a good salary—but there was this bug inside me saying, “There has to be more to life.”
It was driving me nuts trying to find out what more there was. I couldn’t put my finger on it: What’s going to satisfy me? Then, I stumbled on Margaret Cho; she caring of inspired me—it was “I’m the One That I Want.” I said to myself, “I can do that.”
