Mock-documentary about the New York clubbing scene in the early 1980s and early 1990s starring Macaulay Culkin as Michael Alig, a real-life club promoter notorious for his excessive lifestyle and drug taking. Alig, who moved to New York from Indiana while still in his teens, soon built up a mini-empire in the underground scene including his own record label, magazine and some of New York's biggest club nights, often featuring bizarre themes and venues. But fame, fortune and a cocktail of designer drugs proved to be Alig's downfall when he viciously murdered his drug dealer and former friend Angel Menendez (Wilson Cruz), and then boasted about it on television.
'Like a superheated kernel of corn, the world has gone Pop... Drag has become mainstream. Being gay became cool. From being the criminal outsider, being queer has even become representative of the way the outsider voice is common to us all.' When he moved to New York in 1982, Fenton Bailey saw the world go Pop. Together with filmmaking partner Randy Barbato, their production company World of Wonder would pioneer the genre of Reality TV and chronicle the emerging Screen Age through their extraordinary programs and outrageous subjects - from Bible Belt televangelists and conspiracy theories to pioneering drag queens. Working with icons such as Britney Spears, Tammy Faye Bakker and RuPaul, the production company's shows tell a wider story of how television has fundamentally shifted our reality. Packed with glorious insider gossip and amazing celebrity stories, these are the riotous tales behind the shows that would make ScreenAgers of us all.
