About this episode
On today’s episode of The Bubba the Love Sponge Show (September 8, 2025), Bubba and the crew delve into the high-stakes drama surrounding the premiere of "Video Killed the Radio Star ." The team unpacks the documentary’s buzzworthy debut, with 508 fans in attendance, despite technical hiccups such as poor sound and a less-than-ideal screen setup. But the celebration quickly collides with looming legal troubles, from Hulk Hogan’s multi-million-dollar settlement coverage to federal lawsuits that threaten the documentary’s future. Bubba vents about heavy restrictions on what can be said on-air, the frustrations of fighting a case with heavily redacted documents, and the fear that legal pressure could shut the film down before it reaches a broader audience. The crew highlights standout performances from the premiere, with Tuttle earning an Academy Award nomination and Mitch sharing his pride in the night’s success. As the legal heat intensifies with venue liability threats and a pending judge’s ruling, the gang debates whether these battles are driven by fear or just money grabs. It’s a raw, unfiltered look at the intersection of media, money, and the courtroom — and Bubba’s not pulling any punches.
