Favoriting June 11, 2014: Interview with MIKE MYERS, director of SUPERMENSCH: THE LEGEND OF SHEP GORDON!

Listen to this show: Pop-up listen Pop-up player!

Actor/director Mike Myers joins us tonight to talk about his newly released documentary Supermensch: The Legend Of Shep Gordon! The movie tells the story of, yes, Shep Gordon, who managed the likes of Alice Cooper, Luther Vandross and Pink Floyd before ushering in the culture of the celebrity chef through his work with Emeril Lagasse and others. Mike Myers tells the fascinating story of this legendary manager in his directorial debut; tonight he'll share that story, and the story of directing his first film, with WFMU listeners.
