Customer Reviews
Loved almost famous podcast.
Always loved the movie but I rewatched it last night with new appreciation because of the mindfulness of every element. I had forgotten how each scene did not feel like a set piece but rather an organic step forward from the scene before.
Almost Famous
Absolutely incredible & so moving. I adored every minute of the Almost Famous season.
Once a great podcast
The new season about HBO is horrible this show used to be amazing I hope the next season is as good as the previous seasons
