About this episode
Today, "Naked Lunch" is thrilled to be serving up a very special order of Bacon -- Kevin Bacon, that is. Kevin discusses his famously long and impressive career as an actor, from early classics like "Animal House" and "Diner" (with Kevin's friend and previous "Naked Lunch" guest Paul Reiser) to major hits like "Footloose" and "JFK" to current projects like "City On A Hill," "They/Them" and "Leave the World Behind." Kevin gives great insight into his family life and his lifelong love of music -- including how he and his brother Michael have kept The Bacon Brothers on the road making music while still talking to one another. And Phil & David work through their strong feelings about their individual Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon scores with the man himself. Also this and way more than a side of Bacon.
