ACTION! Did I get your attention? Well, on the latest episode of ERITFM, we’re all about the ACTION! And what better way to communicate our love for explosions than featuring a film starring 90s DTV action mainstay Olivier Gruner battling members of a mercenary group hired to HUNT HIM DOWN by a bespectacled AND bearded Eric Roberts?! None, I would say. Thankfully, we have Brian Saur (from the Rupert Pupkin Speaks blog, and co-host of the Just The Discs and Pure Cinema podcasts) to guide us through all the mayhem. We also continue to put Verizon ON BLAST, do a

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.
