Billy Crudup -- Almost Famous

from We Doing Filmographies Hosted by We Doing Filmographies

This is the loosely biographical story of writer/director Cameron Crowe as a teenager, played here by Patrick Fugit in his first film role, as he tags along with a band as a 15 year old journalist for Rolling Stone. Brad Pitt and Christian Bale almost played Russell Hammond, the guitarist of a fictional band on the rise in "Almost Famous". Pitt said "nah" and our buddy Billy Crudup ended up with the role of a lifetime. In his 11th credit, Crudup plays the coolest person you'd ever meet, and someone so handsome everybody else in the band looks like a bag of trash.

Shut Up I Love It Sasha Feiler and Joe Cabello Many years ago, Sasha Feiler and Joe Cabello met in line for an improv show. They were young, dumb, and full of it. What followed were comedy shows so explicit, “genitalia” was practically a term of endearment.Fast forward 5 dogs, 6 cats, and way too many weird inside jokes later, Sasha and Joe are no longer young or dumb—but they’re still brimming with you-know-what. Here, they’ve teamed up to bring you a podcast where they interview a guest who passionately defends something universally hated, misunderstood, forgotten, overlooked, Mandela-effected, canceled—you name it. The key? They LOVE it. From toupees... to B-movies... to aliens, psychedelics, and the occasional surprise character, Sasha and Joe are here to spread love to the world that birthed them (but maybe should’ve used protection).So come and get that love because no one else will give it to you like we do.Also, don’t forget to check out the Patreon Bonus version of the show:https://www.patreon.com/c/ShutUpILoveItP Explicit
