December 21, 2015 | 1 Comment

HO HO HO! MERRY EVERYTHING! It's our FIRST ANNUAL Eric Roberts is the Man HOLIDAY SPECTACULAR featuring special guest (and guest host) Sarah Kurchak talking TWO seasonal Eric Roberts classics. First we dig into the Keith David-starring CHRISTMAS IN COMPTON, where Chistmas arrives with dollops of stereotypes and Eric Roberts as a sleazy music producer. We follow that up with Eric as a ROCK GOD (/w ridiculous wig!) in the redneck-scrooge modern classic ALL AMERICAN CHRISTMAS CAROL. Of course there's also plenty of CHEER and GOOD TIDINGS, as well as talk of pillow fighting, marathons, JESUS and lots more! End your year off right with US!

October 12, 2015

It's a punky ROBERTS party! Episode 11 of ERITFM arrives kicking and screaming and packed to the gills with intense ER-related goodness. Our first film features Christopher Walken, faux-Elias Koteas, DANZIG and Eric Roberts as an ANGEL! How appropriate! It's THE PROPHECY II, and it's not bad. Film #2 stars Jake Busey, Crispin Glover, Jennifer Tilly and some of the worst Eric Roberts hair ever put on film. It's FAST SOFA from 2001, and responses are MIXED, which always makes for the best conversation. We're joined by the amazing writer Matthew Monagle, who tells us some BEHIND THE SCENES FAST SOFA INFO. Come for paunchy Chris Walken, stay for the nerdity. ERIC ROBERTS.

September 28, 2015

It's the episode THE MAN didn't want you to hear! Actually, Episode 10 of ERITFM is coming to you late because of technical difficulties (aka I screwed up the recording) but the wait is, uh, WORTH IT. This episode has it all: a #SPEEDBALL update, music from Dick Maloney, MICHAEL JACKSON, and, of course, Joe Millionaire. We're joined by Shock Cinema's Michael Sullivan, who brings his trademark wit - and awesome voice - to our discussion of the painful spoof MISS CASTAWAY AND THE ISLAND GIRLS and the extremely odd "comedy" WRONG COPS. Praise be to Eric Roberts, it's time to listent! As always, check out ERIC ROBERTS IS THE MAN on Twitter, or come chat ER (or anything else) on our Facebook group.

Episode 9: A Halloween Puppy (2012) & A Talking Cat!?! (2013) (/w Peter Kuplowsky)

September 7, 2015

We get plenty of requests here at the ERITFM ranch, but no film gets suggested to us more often than David DeCoteau’s talking animal masterpiece A TALKING CAT!?! But did you know that before A TALKING CAT!?! Eric Roberts also voiced a talking.. dog!?! Its the battle of the David DeCoteau-directed, Kristine DeBell-starring, Eric Roberts-voiced animals with A HALLOWEEN PUPPY facing off against A TALKING CAT!?! We needed to knock this one out of the park, so we recruited producer, film festival programmer and all-around movie guy Peter Kuplowsky to lend his voice – and expertise – to this deep

Episode 8: The Nature of the Beast (1995) & Doc Holliday’s Revenge (2014) (/w Tonjia Atomic)

August 26, 2015

SIX! SIX! SIX! THE NATURE OF THE BEAST! Yeah, we’re back, and this time.. it’s personal. Fueled by Eric Roberts following us on Twitter (and our inevitably cease & desist letter), Episode 8 finds us in a contemplative mood as we discuss 1995’s THE NATURE OF THE BEAST (along with its controversial director) and 2014 DOC HOLLIDAY’S REVENGE (aka STRANDED), which is only controversial for being absolutely terrible. We are joined by the luminescent Tonjia Atomic, who is really way too talented to be stuck talking about Eric Roberts movies for 90 minutes, yet here we are! This one is

Episode 7.5: Dead Saturday Interview

August 17, 2015

It's a SUPER SPECIAL *BONUS* EPISODE of ERITFM featuring our very first INTERVIEW! We were recently contacted by Director Ben Stark and writer Jeremy Burgess about their new short film DEAD SATURDAY, which just happens to star... wait for it.. Eric Roberts! Of course, we wanted all the important - and not so important - details, so we've invited them onto the show to chat about how the film originated, their experiences with crowdfunding, and - of course - how ER got involved and what it was like to work with him. Both were extremely gracious and honest, and this was a ton of fun. CHECK IT OUT!
