On a brand new ACTION PACKED episode of Eric Roberts is the Man we're joined by Cinapse co-founder and editor Ed Travis to discuss Jesse V. Johnson's 2017 throwback actioner THE BEAUTIFUL ONES from 2017. Does the film stack up to the films and filmmakers it constantly references, or did the distributor's choice to abandon its intended black & white aesthetic undermine its intentions? Let's find out!

RUSSIANS? THE SOUTHERN BORDER? No, it's not the hellscape that is 2019, it's 2004's BORDER BLUES, a semi-sequel(?) to a television series starring Gary Busey as a psychic police chief, and Eric Roberts as COYOTE LARRY. It's pretty darn strange. Thankfully, we have ThatShelf.com editor-in-chief Will Perkins joining us to talk about title sequences, Boys II Men, Henry Winkler, Kaiju and all things Eric Roberts.

Look, I don't know how to write about THE CIVILIZATION OF MAXWELL BRIGHT. It's ostensibly a comedy, though is rarely funny and is often downright depressing. It's also a drama, but featured a completely unhinged Patrick Warburton performance that has to be seen to be believed. There's also a bevy of famous faces who make small appearances, including Jennfer Tilly, John Glober, Norah Dunn and Carol Kane. It's a crazy, crazy, CRAZY movie, but is it any good? Don't ask me!

What better way to celebrate the life and work of actor Eric Roberts than watching a film where his performance was pasted in from a different movie entirely? That's the case with A KARATE CHRISTMAS MIRACLE, which is already pretty darn confusing, and then they add in scenes from a horror movie, and then forget to have any karate in it. OOPS! Anyway, this is real bad, but thankfully we have martial arts expert (and author of the memoir I OVERCAME MY AUTISM AND ALL I GOT WAS THIS LOUSY ANXIETY DISORDER) Sarah Kurchak joining us to break it all down in detail.

DIE HARD.. in a MALL? In WINNIPEG? It happened! In 2002's CHRISTMAS RUSH (aka BREAKAWAY) Dean Cain is no John McClane, but he does his best as he takes on a gang of criminals, including Eric Roberts who is trying to make a big score to pay for his son's bone marrow transplant. No, I'm serious. Scott Weinberg (from the 80s All Over podcast) joins us to chat cats, Die Hard rip-offs, Michael Flatley, and all things ERIC ROBERTS. OHHHHHHH WHAT A RUSH!

You wanted the best, you got the best!

Before they head to CINEPOCALYPSE to interview ERIC ROBERTS, Liam and Doug sit down with the wonderful Elbee Bargeron to chat about an episode of the lame children's horror anthology series DEADTIME STORIES, along with the 2013 Linda Lovelace bio-pic LOVELACE! There's lots of laughs, a few tears, and everyone gets to talk about PORN! HUZZAH! Let's listen before it's too late!

A wise guy, eh? We're classing up the joint on episode 59 of ERIC ROBERTS IS THE MAN. Not only do we have special guest Daeron Wilson (from the Psychosemantic podcast) bringing his trademark mix of wit, punk and politics, but we've got a movie written by David Mamet! Before he went crazy! Not only that, but this made-for-HBO flick was directed by HENRY: PORTRAIT OF A SERIAL KILLER'S John McNaughton and stars Richard Dreyfuss! Sure it's boring, but WHAT A PEDIGREE! Oh, and did we mention that it features Eric Roberts walking away with the whole movie as Bugsy Siegel? Well, now I have! TURN IT UP.

On this SURPRISINGLY LATE episode of Eric Roberts is the Man, we welcome writer and podcaster Brendan Foley to JOIN US in celebrating two more Eric Roberts CLASSICS! First we look at a Season 3 episode of THE L WORD with absolutely no context, and you can hear us struggle to understand the seemingly dozens of plotlines and characters, including Pam Grier getting pregnant! APPARENTLY! Also, Eric Roberts is there. Then we look at the 2002 thriller WRONG NUMBER where ER is murdered again and again, RASHOMON-style, and then the whole thing ends in one of the most ridiculous TWISTS in the history of cinema!
