THE KING OF COMEDY directed by Martin Scorsese (1983).
Rupert Pupkin is obsessed with becoming a comedy great. However, when he confronts his idol, talk show host Jerry Langford, with a plea to perform on the Jerry's show, he is only given the run-around. He does not give up, however, but persists in stalking Jerry until he gets what he wants. Eventually he must team up with his psychotic Langford-obsessed friend Masha to kidnap the talk show host in hopes of finally getting to perform his stand-up routine.



Michael Waxman, a Hollywood professional, will do the post movie discussion because this edgy film is the first Waxman ever worked on (He's done dozens since, including
MIAMI VICE, HEAT, LAST OF THE MOHICANS).
