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!

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!

Nothing in your education or experience could prepare you for Alejandro Jodorowsky’s THE HOLY MOUNTAIN and on this episode of JodoWOWsky we’re going long on one of the strangest, most unique, most transformative films ever made. We start by discussing Jodorowsky’s career post-El Topo and the preparation for – and influences on – THE HOLY MOUNTAIN, before we dive into the film proper, discussing our thoughts, interpretations and feelings about each section. We finish with the film’s post-production and wide ranging influences: from Kanye West, to Beyonce, to MGMT and beyond!

Your hosts are Cinema Smorgasbord regulars Doug Tilley (@Doug_Tilley) and Liam O’Donnell (@LiamRulz), but they are joined on this adventure by the always wonderful and incisive Julia Marchese!
