It's WONDERFUL! It's MARVELOUS! It's ERIC ROBERTS IS THE MAN, featuring special guest Will Slater (from the Exploding Helicopter blog/podcast) helping us fulfill our BLOOD OATH! Will decided we needed a break, so first he's chosen the completely crazy modern action classic THE ALTERNATE, which has Ice-T, Michael Madsen and AN EXPLODING HELICOPTER. We follow that with an episode of OZ which tackles the difficult topic of capital punishment, but more importantly features Eric Roberts with a BEARD. IT'S ALL TOO MUCH. STOP READING AND START LISTENING.

February 7, 2017

This episode of Eric Roberts is the Man is DIVERSE as hell! Not only do we have (returning) guest Sarah Kurchak back with us to lend her expertise on MMA and Robert Vaughn, but we're covering an episode of the TV show GLEE, as well as the 2014 star-studded spook story A CRY FROM WITHIN. We're without regular co-host in blood Liam O'Donnell, so things are bound to fly off the rails even more than usual. SO MUCH ERIC ROBERTS, but is it too much? Listen and find out!

Your REASON FOR LIVING returns! It's ERITFM episode #41, and we're getting spiritual! AGAIN! This time we've kidnapped writer and illustrator Evan Munday and forced him to watch a 1980 made-for-TV adaptation of Willa Cather's short story PAUL'S CASE (featuring an impossibly young Eric Roberts). Then we finished him off with an episode of TOUCHED BY AN ANGEL featuring Eric Roberts as a traumatized, racist Vietnam vet who is running a sweatshop! That is, until he's hit by a beautiful big chunk of the holy spirit. You've got nothing better to do! Let's listen together!

In the latest FREAKY DEAKY episode of ERITFM we're joined by the always terrifying Jaime Burchardt to moan about two more Eric Roberts cinema classics. First up is the gleefully bad-taste extravaganza CHILLERAMA, which briefly features ER as General Bukkake in the anthology segment WADZILLA. Then we slow things down a little to investigate the Hitchcockian pleasures(?) of star-studded borefest THE HOUSE ACROSS THE STREET. It's all here, and it's all spooky. ENJOY!
