On an inspiring episode of ERIC ROBERTS IS THE MAN we’re joined by author, teacher and Jeopardy champ Lance St. Laurent to do a deep dive into the 1995 made-for-TV film SAVED BY THE LIGHT, based on a TRUE STORY where town jerk Dannion Brinkley was hit by lightning, died, and came back with MYSTERUOUS POWERS – including a heap of predictions for the future that just might have come true! WOW! Anyway, it’s a bunch of hooey, but let’s talk about it anyway. We pair that with all the latest Eric Roberts news (including an upcoming collaboration with Kevin Spacey (ugh) and some Killer Tomatoes (yay!)). It’s a packed show, so check it OUT!

On a smoky new episode of HOW DO YOU DO, FELLOW KIDS? we’re slamming java and puffing darts with Jim Jarmusch in the all-star black and white anthology film COFFEE AND CIGARETTES. Spun off from a series of previous caffeine-drenched shorts (several of which are included here) from as early as the mid-80s, you get interesting collections of actors and musicians (RZA & GZA & Bill Murray! Steve Coogan and Alfred Molina! The White Stripes! Cate Blanchett!) pontificating about a variety of subjects while downing the titular combo. It’s all good fun, and you get to hear us talk about it, along with the latest Steve Buscemi news. Enjoy!

We’re taking a brief respite from American films on WE DO OUR OWN STUNTS to return to Hong Kong (and Japan!) for the sequel to the wildly popular WINNERS & SINNERS, it’s the even MORE wildly popular MY LUCKY STARS from 1986! Starring the 5 Lucky Stars (minus John Shum, but with extra bonus Eric Tsang), it’s bookended with some wild Jackie Chan and Yuen Biao action sequences and the meaty center is full of silly comedy – and lots of uncomfortable stuff because of course there is. How does it stack up to the first film, and exactly how much Jackie do we get in this one? LISTEN AND FIND OUT!

FURTHER REEDING (the world’s finest Oliver Reed-themed podcast) returns with Oliver Reed’s first starring role: the 1961 Hammer horror classic CURSE OF THE WEREWOLF! Despite Reed’s starring credit he doesn’t appear until the half-way mark of the film, but within minutes he shows his potential for stardom.. and that’s before he turns into a hairy, drooling monster! A much different werewolf tale than the Universal classics, it’s filled with pathos and sadness, but still gives you plenty of carnage in the final twenty minutes or so. LET’S TALK ABOUT IT!

One a very special REMOTE episode of WILD IN THE STREETS, Doug calls in from Newfoundland to discuss the mixed up crime comedy MEAN FRANK AND CRAZY TONY from 1973. Featuring Lee Van Cleef as a tight-lipped mobster and Tony Lo Bianco as the wannabe wise-guy who worships him, the two get into all sorts of trouble, including an impressive car chase (“Mon dieu!”), a factory shootout and more power drill mayhem than you can throw an apple core at. There’s plenty of action, Edwige Fenech and Jean Rochefort pop up in supporting roles, and you even get a horn-heavy score from Riz Ortolani. What’s not to love? Listen and find out!

Our name is Praising Kane (the world’s greatest chronological Carol Kane podcast), you killed our fathers.. prepare to die! We’re finally moving into some iconic films in Carol’s oeuvre, and they don’t get much bigger than the 1987 fantasy-comedy-romance THE PRINCESS BRIDE, adapted from the beloved William Goldman book of the same name. Everyone loves it.. but did WE? Listen and find out. But before that we have a chat about the very first episode of the short-lived 1986 sitcom ALL IS FORGIVEN, featuring Carol Kane in a supporting role as the head writer of a beleaguered soap opera produced by the inexperienced Paula Russell (played by Bess Armstrong). I’m laughing already! And you’ll be laughing too once you start listening.
