If you’re wondering how you can buy Penn Jillette’s Pain Addict, we unfortunately have some bad news for you. (Interestingly, the device is also similar to the machine that Karl Pilkington posited during The Ricky Gervais Show.) Penn said in the podcast that he wanted to play the part of Rolo, but the production was already too far along for him. All those years he was told it was too dark, and it turns out the short story was really just waiting for the perfect fit. And once you see Black Museum, you’ll realize that a big part of the episode was based completely on Penn’s short story. He called Penn about it, and Penn sent him the short story.

He had lunch with creator Charlie Brooker and they were talking about ideas. On Penn’s Sunday School podcast in May, he revealed that a Black Mirror episode would be based on one of his short stories. What is this story and how is it related to Black Mirror?

But just a warning: This post has major spoilers for the finale episode of Season 4, called Black Museum, so don’t read on until you’ve seen the episode. At the very end of Black Museum, we see a note in the credits indicating that part of the script was based on Penn Jillette’s “Pain Addict.” Back in May, we learned that a short story by Penn was going to be included in Season 4.
