*Bonus* – The Gong Show in Cinema

Let’s be serious:  The Gong Show was a national phenomenon!  Unfortunately like a lot of things in the 70’s, once a movie was made, the fad was over.  This is true of The Gong Show Movie which was really a therapy session for creator and host Chuck Barris.  So was his book “Confessions of a Dangerous Mind” which became a movie as well.  It is safe to say that Chuck used Hollywood as a way to get free psychological help.  In this bonus episode, we discuss this as well as the movies that came out of the popularity of this game show.
