Pablo Torre Finds Out

Naming Neverland: Michael Jackson, Peter Pan and the Lawsuit That Never Was

10 Dec 2024

Description

What do a notorious $28 million home, a $450,000 oversized check presented to Princess Diana, and a $150,000 wire transfer for a witch doctor to curse Steven Spielberg... have in common? Correspondent Yourgo Artsitas wondered if Michael Jackson — rejected by Hollywood in his prime — made a deal with the palace, for the perpetual rights to re-brand himself as Peter Pan. The answer involves a Spider-Man tombstone, sacrificial cows, Rufio, the Bible, the very idea of innocence, and lots and lots of lawsuits. Learn more about your ad choices.

Right after this ad. You're listening to DraftKings Network. Kennt ihr auch diesen einen Freund, der morgens einfach so ruckzuck aus dem Bett und danach aus dem Grinsen gar nicht mehr rauskommt? Der sogar noch vor dem ersten Kaffee unverschämt gut gelaunt ist und mit der Morgensonne um die Wette strahlt? Furchtbar. Ekelhaft.

Wie kann man nur so... Ausgeruht sein? Ganz einfach. Trainiere deinen Schlaf und werde auch du zum Morgenmenschen. Mit der Galaxy Watch 7 oder dem Galaxy Ring und der Samsung Health App.

Yes, quite challenging, for sure.

63.887 - 71.013 Pablo Torre

I think it has to start with one of my favorite things, which is a video I had previously never seen before.

71.073 - 79.54 Yorgo Artsitas

Well, you have to go through a significant rabbit hole to find it. And yeah, it has two of the biggest icons of the 20th century.

80.504 - 97.435 Pablo Torre

If the sales pitch on this episode is briefly, do you want to see a video of the biggest celebrity in the world in a way you've never seen them before? I'm like, okay, so let's hit play. So explain what we're seeing here.

97.495 - 106.54 Yorgo Artsitas

We are seeing Michael Jackson dressed in his most Michael Jackson-esque leather everywhere. Military-style regalia.
