In this turbo-charged transmission from the fur-lined bunker, Shakin Shaner and Psycho Bob the Cat claw into the legend of JJ Armes—the real-life, prosthetic-powered private eye who rewrote the rules of crime-fighting with chrome limbs and desert swagger.
From a childhood TNT explosion to parachuting into crime scenes, JJ’s story is part pulp fiction, part Cold War allegory, and all attitude. We decode his wild career busting drug rings, rescuing Marlon Brando’s son, and starring in a CBS pilot that aired once and vanished into myth. Plus, we dig into his 1970s action figure—complete with modular hands and a crime van playset—and explore how merchandising turned JJ into a plastic icon of resilience and rogue justice.
