Summary:
Long absent from home video formats, this one-of-a-kind cult film has at last taken its act to Blu Ray. Inspired by the TV talent(less) show, it presents a week in the life of beleaguered game show producer and Gong Show host Chuck Barris (played by Mr. Barris himself, in a masterstroke of casting.) Between a ratings-obsessed executive, out-of-control contestants and judges, and a seemingly endless string of auditions and encounters with "fans", Chuck's got his hands full
