Director - Mike Myers
Stars - Alice Cooper, Mike Douglas, Tom Arnold, Emeril, and many more
Story - The life story of super manager Shep Gordon. From a 2 bit drug dealer to one of the most important people in popular culture, this documentary tells the tale of a truly nice guy who managed some of the most popular celebrities of our time from Alice Cooper, to Luther Vandross. It also delves into his personal life and thoughts on life
So what did I think? - You are probably thinking who the eff is Shep? I was thinking the same thing as I was perusing the 99 cents documentaries on Apple TV this afternoon. So I watched the trailer and was hooked.
It was so interesting to see how this man was in the right place at the right time with Jimi Hendricks and Janis Joplin no less, and was able to promote all of these iconic people, and help mold popular culture. Then it delved into his personal life and his interests, and made him even more amazing.
We also have Shep to thank for bringing all of these celebrity chefs into our lives and food TV.
If you like to peer behind and pay attention to the man behind the curtain, this is certainly a movie you will not want to miss. It gives you an insight into a creative mind and a big heart.
Snacks & Bevies - A great snack for this viewing would be loaded latkes and an ice cold Jai Alai IPA.
Will have to see this one for sure!
