Veteran producer Mark Wolper, Executive Producer Star Price and renowned
master showmen Penn & Teller deliver a high-octane, weird, wacky, entertaining journey
through some bizarre territory that no one else is brave enough to touch.
Penn & Teller are a couple of eccentric guys who have learned how to do a few cool things.
Together since 1975, their award-winning theater show has been a long-running hit.
Penn and Teller debunk various comical, paranormal or otherwise bizarre phenomena
(e.g. alien encounters, ghosts, alternative medicine, end-of-the-world alarmists, myths about sex,
feng shui, creationism, self-help gurus, ESP, diet program claims, communication with the dead, etc.)
through interviews and hidden camera segments interspersed
with performances of their trademark style of magic.
By their own admission, Penn & Teller have been dying to do a show like this.
Confirmed skeptics and pro-science atheists (they refer to God as "an imaginary friend"),
these magicians are big fans of the art of debunking.
Whether demonstrating how history's most perplexing magic acts are performed in their sell-out
Las Vegas show and TV specials, or producing their own series that pulls the wool off the public's
eyes, Penn & Teller's mission is to expose the truth to an otherwise desperate and gullible public.
In Penn & Teller: Bullshit!, the crusaders utilize principles of magic and trickery,
as well as good old fashioned "hidden camera" sting operations,
to smoke out these nonsense peddlers and reveal how they operate.
They also call upon the scientific community for back-up. Penn & Teller have discovered that the
evidence debunking bogus operatives exists in countless books, scientific papers and
government-sponsored exposés — research that nobody else has presented
to the public with such zeal, passion, and conviction.
As our increasingly anti-intellectual, anti-science culture moves on each day to new crackpot
subject matters, Penn & Teller are there to aggressively shoot down
whack-jobs and fuzzy thinkers, no matter where they originate.
Their attitude of serious, sober contemplation can be summed up in this quote about their current
Las Vegas stage program: "We have been doing magic together for 25 years and are so sick of it we could
spit. So, in the new show, we are moving into the field of religion and will be performing real miracles!"
No matter how popular a form of bullshit is — and regardless of what deep pockets or beloved figures
support it — Penn & Teller are pit bulls for the truth, poised to tear down these myths in the most
jaw-dropping fashion possible with their trademark wit and off-center comic sensibilities.
Beware faux miracle workers, yogis, dervishes, televangelists, zealots and cult leaders.
