In a returning PRAISING KANE we’re doubling up, starting with an first season episode of TALES FROM THE CRYPT starring Carol Kane as a woman who switches bodies with an old crone, much to the chagrin of her gun-nut husband. FUN! Then we pivot from gothic horror to existential satire with John Patrick Shanley’s 1990 cult classic JOE VERSUS THE VOLCANO, starring Tom Hanks as a soul-crushed hypochondriac sent to leap into an active volcano on the island of Waponi Woo /w Meg Ryan in three different roles. Also, Carol Kane is there. For literally two minutes. And we talk about the suitcase guy, because that guy rules. ENJOY!

We’re back in CLASSIC ERIC ROBERTS era with the darkly comedic romantic drama NOBODY’S FOOL from 1986 featuring Rosanna Arquette as a quirky, traumatized waitress who finds her life turned upside-down when a troupe of Shakespearean actors arrive in her small Arizona town, including a handsome, equally messed up stagehand played by – wait for it – ERIC ROBERTS. There’s plenty of odd charm, thanks to a strong script from Pulitzer Prize-winner Beth Henley, and a great supporting cast including Mare Winningham, Louise Fletcher and Stephen Tobolowsky! We’re joined by NOBODY’S FOOL superfan Dan Gorman, making his long-awaited return, and the show is JAM-PACKED with the latest Eric Roberts news. ENJOY!

On this episode of the world’s greatest Steve Buscemi-themed podcast, we’re taking a look at the odd coming-of-age nightmare comedy YOUTH IN REVOLT from 2009 where Michael Cera creates a sociopathic version of himself in order to impress a young woman he meets at a trailer park. Stuffed with great character actors (Jean Smart, Justin Long, Fred Willard, Mary Kay Place, M. Emmett Walsh), its episodic format takes some getting used to, but it’s much more interesting – and stranger – than the marketing would have you believe. Also, Steve Buscemi is in it (as Michael Cera’s father!). All of this and the latest Buscemi news, and all for FREE! You can’t pass up that deal.
