John Lithgow vs Eric Roberts! AT LAST! Critic and podcaster Norm Wilner joins us to chat about 1993's LOVE, CHEAT & STEAL, an erotic thriller with few thrills and even less eroticism!

We also RANK THE PRESIDENTS, discuss Gary Shandling, Michael Flatley's art career, and SO MUCH MORE. Let's listen!

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.
