Episode 16: Christmas in Compton (2012) & All American Christmas Carol (2013) (/w Sarah Kurchak)

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!

As always, check out ERIC ROBERTS IS THE MAN on Twitter, or come chat ER (or anything else) on our Facebook group.
