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!

February is a month of LOVE and what better way to celebrate affairs of the heart than by having acclaimed romance novelist Kristin Ross (aka Evelyn Price) join us to chat about two made-for-Lifetime movies starring Eric Roberts? First up is the ripped-from-the-headlines thriller FATAL DESIRE which has Anne Heche seducing Eric Roberts OVER THE INTERNET and convincing him to murder her husband. It's a timeless love story! Then up is the absolutely INSANE recent Lifetime classic STALKED BY MY DOCTOR which featured ER as a surgeon who becomes uncomfortably obsessed with a teenage patient. IT'S AMAZING.

On a VERY SPECIAL episode of Eric Roberts is the Man we welcome VERY SPECIAL guest Jon Cross from The After Movie Diner Podcast to talk about two VERY SPECIAL movies.

It’s.. uh.. something else.  But that’s not all! We follow that with the inspiring modern classic ASSAULT ON WALL STREET from the gret Uwe Boll, which has Dominic Purcell killing a bunch of Wall Street fat cats because they were indirectly responsible for ruining his life.

GET READY FOR THE ULTIMATE CHALLENGE! NO GUTS, NO GLORY on episode 18 of ERIC ROBERTS IS THE MAN as we tear into two carefully chosen Eric Roberts masterpieces. First is the only film featuring Eric and Julia Roberts acting together – as well as Elias Koteas, Michael Madsen and Dennis Hopper’s horrific Irish accent! It’s 1989’s BLOOD RED and it *sucks*! Thankfully, that’s balanced by the glory of Wayne Newton, underground fighting, and a gigantic German man named Brakus! It’s BEST OF THE BEST II, and while it’s missing Eric Roberts’ glorious hair from the first, it adds a TON of goofy stuff to make up for it. ALSO: we announce our new co-host and have a live BLOOD OATH! You’re not gonna want to miss it.

If that wasn’t enough star power, we follow it up with 2003’s THE LONG RIDE HOME starring RANDY TRAVIS as a mustachioed outlaw who is being hunted down by ERNEST BORGNINE.

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.

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.

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 digging discussion of DeCoteau.

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!

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! The post Episode 7.5: Dead Saturday Interview appeared first on Eric Roberts is the Man.
