Episode 7: Rude Awakening (1989) & Doctor Who (1996)

Everybody must get stoned! On Episode 7 of ERITFM we are joined by Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada’s Jason Whyte to chat about two MORE illustrious Eric Roberts performances. First we discuss the late 80s hippy-dippy comedy RUDE AWAKENING which involves huge, ridiculous beards, talking fish and a CRAZY ending that almost redeems the whole big barrel of nonsense. Then we TIME HOP back to 1996 and the ill-fated DOCTOR WHO TV MOVIE which was meant to launch a new era for The Doc, but instead it went over like a wet balloon. Or a broken TARDIS. Or something. It DOES feature Eric Roberts hamming it up as THE MASTER, though, so YAY!

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