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!

It's MARCH MADNESS here at Eric Roberts is the Man, so we're joined by former Cineplex pre-show host and all-around man of mystery Ben Gordon to chat about two more Eric Roberts classics! First up is 1996's sweat-stained HEAVEN'S PRISONERS, which was shelved for two years and shows it. It features nude femme fatale Teri Hatcher, Alec Baldwin tears, shotgun murder and ERIC ROBERTS WITH CORNROWS. We follow up with the unwatchable DARK MOON RISING, which proceeded to sap our enthusiasm, coherence and will to live. I fear we'll never recover! All this and the ROBERTS REPORT so stop what you're doing and LISTEN.

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!

Welcome to Episode 4 of Eric Roberts is the Man! This time we’re up to our necks in COMICS as we look at Larry Cohen’s 1990 thriller THE AMBULANCE – featuring Eric Roberts as a Marvel artist – and 2008’s THE DARK KNIGHT – which is about a guy who dresses like a BAT! I KNOW! If you’re wondering if there are filthy Stan Lee impressions here’s a spoiler: YES! THERE ARE! Listen, love, and tell your friends. But don’t tell Eric Roberts. That would be awkward. This episode’s special guest is the INDESTRUCTIBLE Rockie Juarez, who writes for Isle of Cinema,

Welcome to Episode 3 of Eric Roberts is the Man! This time around we’re taking a look at the taekwondo action classic BEST OF THE BEST starring James Earl Jones’ voice, the late (pudgy) Chris Penn, Sally Kirkland for some reason and Eric Roberts’ hair. Lots of people get kicked while great/terrible synthy rock music plays. It’s hard to beat. We follow that up with Christ-tastic faith film REVELATION ROAD: THE BEGINNING OF THE END which is sort of THE BOURNE IDENTITY meets A THIEF IN THE NIGHT except not nearly as interesting as that would imply. Our man ER

It’s EPISODE 1 of the ERIC ROBERTS IS THE MAN podcast! On this episode our hosts Doug Tilley and Todd Rigney meet for the first time and soon begin to understand the immensity of their task. Everything Eric Roberts must be watched: interviews, reality show appearances, soap operas, and – of course – MOVIES. Forgive the haphazardness of things, as they are still finding their feet. By Episode 2 they’ll be off to the races. On this episode they discuss 1983’s STAR 80 featuring Eric Roberts as the unbelievably sleazy Paul Snider, as well as 2009’s FIRST DOG featuring Eric Roberts as the (less
