Twitter Facebook Google+Overview
It’s Chicago in the 1980s and ‘90s, and Kevin Matthews has it all as one of the nation’s most recognized on-air radio personalities. He’s partying with celebrities, rubbing shoulders with famous athletes, and the world is at his fingertips. Then everything changes – he’s diagnosed with a debilitating illness and the spotlight gradually slips away. At the height of his anguish, he stumbles upon a broken statue of the Virgin Mary, and his life takes an unexpected turn. In this moment of spiritual awakening, Kevin finds his true purpose and calling, discovering what matters most. Calling himself “Mary’s Roadie,” he offers his fans something deeper: inspiration and hope.

Viewing Notes
Had this circled on the calendar from the moment it was announced. Really surprised to have a full theater but it was clear that the audience were Chicago transplants from their reactions. And more evidence of how many Chicagoans now live in Colorado.
Fascinating look at Kevin Matthews’ career and where he landed in life. Wild to see him and Mancow as friends now. Not sure why this runtime is listed as 95min. It’s under 70min and there was a “bonus feature” afterwards, a rosary prayer with Kevin, that I skipped. Maybe that’s included in the runtime?
I enjoyed his story but I wish we got more from the 80s and 90s when he ruled the Chicago airwaves.
