Episode 50: Deadly Sanctuary (2015) & Inherent Vice (2013) (/w Josh Johnson)

FIFTY EPISODES! They said it couldn't/shouldn't be done, but we've made it FIFTY episodes deep into the life, career and works of actor Eric Roberts, and we're JUST GETTING STARTED. For this VERY SPECIAL episode we've brought REWIND THIS! director Josh Johnson into the fold to discuss two ADAPTATIONS. First up is Sylvia Nobel's young adult mystery DEADLY SANCTUARY, which features Dean Cain, Daniel Baldwin (the best Baldwin, in my estimation) and ERIC ROBERTS.

Episode 21: Heaven’s Prisoners (1996) & Dark Moon Rising (2015) (/w Ben Gordon)

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.
