Naked Lunch

Phil and David welcome the brilliant director, writer & legendary Rolling Stone journalist Cameron Crowe to "Naked Lunch" to discuss the release of "Tom Petty: Heartbreakers Beach Party," Crowe's long lost and now wonderfully expanded directorial debut that hit theaters last week and will be streaming soon on Paramount Plus. Kate Hudson -- who famously gave a Golden Globe-winning, Academy Award-nominated performance as Penny Lane in Crowe's autobiographical classic "Almost Famous," for which Cameron won an Oscar -- makes a very special "Lunch" appearance to ask Cameron a glorious question about the music in his movies.  This episode will have you at "Hello" with fantastic stories about Cameron's "Jerry Maguire" and "Vanilla Sky" leading man Tom Cruise, Sean Penn, Billy Wilder, Paul McCartney and so many more.
