The HBO documentary "Pee-wee as Himself" offers an intimate look at Paul Reubens' life, filmed while he was battling cancer. The film serves as a type of 'celebrity exit interview,' allowing Reubens to control his narrative before his death. It joins other similar documentaries like "Val" (about Val Kilmer) and others, showcasing a trend of public figures sharing their stories on their own terms.
