Episode description

This week, we celebrate the 20th anniversary of Cameron Crowe's 70's rock-and-roll classic Almost Famous, starring Kate Hudson, Billy Crudup, and Patrick Fugit. Loosely based on Cameron Crowe's teenage experiences, the film centers on 15-year-old William Miller, an aspiring rock journalist, who gets invited, sight-unseen, to write an article for Rolling Stone about up-and-coming hard rockers Stillwater, who coax him into touring with them as part of the deal. While on tour, William meets and falls in love with veteran groupie Penny Lane. The film also features outstanding performances by Philip Seymour Hoffman, Frances McDormand, Anna Paquin, Jason Lee, and a host of others. Join us, as we discuss all our favorite moments as well as hidden features and behind-the-scenes trivia.
