This episode of Noise Junkies focuses on the 1980 rock musical The Idolmaker, directed by Taylor Hackford (Ray, An Officer And A Gentleman).  Based on the real-life story of Bob Marcucci, a talent manager in the late-50's who discovered Frankie Avalon and Fabian, this movie features a fiery, Golden Globe-winning performance from Ray Sharkey.  HP discusses the ingredients that comprise this underseen gem, what makes it sing, and how this cult classic has endured for so many years.
