On this episode of The Pop Culture Green Room, we’re diving face-first into red noses, rainbow wigs, and a serious cultural identity crisis with the brilliant Guilford "Gilly" Adams — director of the new documentary American Clown and a former professional clown himself.Guilford joins us to talk about the surprisingly emotional and often hilarious journey of making American Clown — a feature-length doc that explores the rise and fall of clowning in America. The film features John C. Reilly, David Howard Thorton (Art The Terrifier), Steve-O, and more.PLUS — we get into David Arquette, who appears in the film and Blair seems think he is on a personal clown redemption arc of his own. Is he trying to revive the clown? Is there hope for the red-nosed rebels? We get into it all.Why are we suddenly afraid of the people who just want to make us laugh? What does life after clowning look like?And what inspired Guilford to turn his story into a film that’s part nostalgia, part heartbreak, and 100% entertaining?If you’ve ever laughed, cried, or screamed because of a clown — this one's for you.
