Évocateur: The Morton Downey Jr. Movie (2012)

[Primetimeloser]

"Before entire networks were built on populist personalities; before reality morphed into a TV genre; the masses fixated on a single, sociopathic star: controversial talk-show host Morton Downey, Jr."

Profanity in trailer so probably NSFW:


Saw this at one if its last festival showings and we both loved it. Really interesting while not getting exploitative (well as much as you can with a show that was basically about exploiting people). Right now it's available on demand, itunes, Amazon, and some theaters.

M.D.JR. used to be a fun show to watch. Our cable used to carry WWOR (for some strange reason) and they played it a lot on there. He was very vocal and often animated. I'm sure a good bit of it was staged theatrics, but non the less he could create stirs back in the day. I'd be interested in seeing this.
