At Stream Tracker, we keep an eye on where to watch films that trade in obsession and the hunger for the spotlight. Martin Scorsese’s The King of Comedy (1982) follows aspiring stand-up Rupert Pupkin as he stalks his idol — a reclusive late‑night talk‑show host — in a darkly comic bid for applause, fame and a single break on stage. In the piece below, the team checks whether you can stream this unsettling look at show business on Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video or AppleTV+, and how to find it if it’s currently hiding backstage.
