Podcasts about supermensch the legend

Send us a textLegendary agent and producer Shep Gordon discusses his book THEY CALL ME SUPER MENSCH (From 9-21-16).It started with a punch from Janis Joplin. It was 1968 and Shep Gordon had quit the job that had brought him to L.A. after only one day. He had about a month's worth of cash in his pocket when he checked into a Hollywood motel. The first night, he tried to “rescue” a girl he thought was in distress. That was Janis, who punched him in the mouth. With the kind of serendipity that would mark the next five decades in a remarkable career, Gordon's life as a legendary manager, agent, and producer was launched. Famous among the famous, Gordon came to wider public attention through Mike Myers's “shagadelic rock doc” Supermensch: The Legend of Shep Gordon. Now, in THEY CALL ME SUPERMENSCH: A Backstage Pass to the Amazing Worlds of Film, Food, and Rock'n'Roll, this charismatic original tells his own version of his rollicking, good-spirited life story.

Shep Gordon is a legendary talent manager (he manages Alice Cooper and has done since 1968), film agent, producer, and was the subject of Mike Myers' directorial debut, the 2013 documentary, Supermensch: The Legend of Shep Gordon. As well as managing household names such as Blondie, Eddie Pendergrast, Luther Vandross, to name but a few, the other thing to know about Shep is that he was (according to Emeril Lagasse) single-handedly responsible for creating the concept of ‘celebrity chef'. But, says Shep, none of this was by chance, his destiny was the result of taking action, of using a bit of knowledge and compassion where he could, to get to where he wanted to go. And considering he's cooked for the Dalai Lama, and credits as his mentor (and the man who changed his life), renowned chef, Roger Vergé, he's definitely gone far. From writing Buffalo, NY, history while high, to microdosing, to making Alice Cooper a global superstar, don't miss Shep Gordon's story, in his own words, on this episode of Into The Magic Shop. “I used to look every client in the eye and I'd say, if I do my job perfectly, I will probably kill you. Luckily for you, I'm not perfect. But I'm really good. So you will be maimed. That's the price, you're going to pay for this. You are going to be maimed. And they all laugh. But they all got maimed.”On today's podcast: Do the best you can in the moment Being a star is all about accepting rejection The benefits of microdosing Why Alice Cooper is the embodiment of a good Christian

Do you believe in karma? Why did Shep Gordon beg John Lennon to have his picture taken with Anne Murray? Who created the celebrity chef? What really happened the night Alice Cooper didn’t bite the head off of a chicken? And can *anyone* just drop in at Shep’s home in Maui? Ken and Todd discuss Mike Myers’s endearing (perhaps too endearing) portrait of the king of all the talent managers in a podcast about Supermensch: The Legend of Shep Gordon.***Content Advisory*** This podcast contains some explicit language (a crude sexual term that Shep is wearing on a T-Shirt in one picture is described).

Are you happy with the car you drive? Is vehicular safety your number one concern in life? Do you love sales? Well then episode 20 is for you - Bulletproof Salesman, a documentary about a self admitted war profiteer in the business of selling armored vehicles. This documentary marks yet another blockbuster selection from our friend Stephen here at The Flix Book Club. It's only a little more than an hour long and stars maybe the most charming German fellow you've ever conducted a pseudo arms deal with: Fidelis Cloer. Check out the main page over at www.flixbookclub.com and leave us a comment - what'd you think? Is this dude horrible or just a cold German businessman? Tune in next week where we watch and discuss a documentary about a very different but equally notorious individual titled Supermensch: The Legend of Shep Gordon.

We talk last Sunday's Golden Globe Awards and yesterday's Academy Award nominations. We make our predictions for Oscar's big four categories. John reveals his three big predictions for 2015. Finally, we review three different '80s comedies. Yes, we watched Midnight Madness, Airplane!, AND Real Genius. Be sure to vote which of these films we will review next time: Super Mario Bros. (1993), Super High Me (2008), or Supermensch: The Legend of Shep Gordon (2014). No, we will not be watching all three again. Tweet us at @videoeta or comment on Facebook.

Supermensch: The Legend of Shep Gordon (Mike Myers, 2013) EEUU El debut cinematográfico del cómico Mike Myers es una carta de amor a uno de sus mejores amigos; el manager y agente Shep Gordon. Y este responde con mucho gusto a la convocatoria explicando sus batallitas de veterano. Desde sus fechorías publicitarias con Alice Cooper (al que lleva representando 44 años) a la hostia que le dio Janis Joplin, pasando por su conversión en súper chef y anfitrión perfecto, Gordon explica su historia con una alegría contagiosa. Un lloc on caure mort (Miguel Ángel Blanca, Raúl Cuevas, 2014) España Este es el retrato de la crisis vital de Cándid, un recalcitrante punk de trentaytantos y cantante de un grupo de Hostalric (Gerona) llamado Autodestrucció. Una interesante auto reflexión sobre el hacerse mayor y la dualidad entre la actitud punk (que en el caso de Cándid se basa en alcohol y drogas en generosas cantidades) y la vida en pareja y responsabilidades como padre. Todos hemos conocido a un Cándid, o puede que tengamos algo de el. Todo esto en el podcast de rigor. Con temas de Blondie y (obviamente) Autodestrucció. Solo nos queda despedirnos y agradeceros el haber seguido estos podcast especiales. Hasta la próxima!
