On Wednesday, October 2 join talk-show icon Richard Bey, Mort’s bodyguard David Giegold, Lloyd Kaufman, and the three-headed monster responsible for directing Évocateur:  The Morton Downey Jr. Movie for its DVD release party and screening!

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. In the late ’80s, Downey tore apart the traditional talk format by turning debate of current issues into a gladiator pit. His blow-smoke-in-your-face style drew a rabid cult following, but also the title “Father of Trash Television.” Évocateur:  The Morton Downey Jr. Movie dissects the mind and motivation of television’s most notorious agitator.
