Americathon (1979) — Satire or Predictive Programming?

In 1979, Americathon was released as a wacky comedy about a broke America forced to hold a telethon to pay its bills. What seemed like absurd parody back then now looks strangely familiar.

Join me as I explore the uncanny parallels between this forgotten cult film and today’s world.
