Eric Roberts and JOHNNY DEPP?! It happened! On this episode of ERITFM we look at the made-for-Showtime neo-noir SLOW BURN, featuring Eric Roberts as a private detective drawn into the complex and sleazy world of kidnapping, child abuse, forced heroin addiction and all sorts of other unpleasant stuff. Thankfully, we get a game supporting cast including Beverly D’Angelo, Dan Hedaya, Henry Gibson and an impossibly young Johnny Depp! Before he was a weird, abusive sleazeball! We also discuss film preservation, TELEMUNDO, our favorite languages and SO MUCH MORE. You must listen! As always, check out ERIC ROBERTS IS THE MAN on Twitter, or come chat ER (or anything else) on our Facebook group. Don’t forget to head over to iTunes to subscribe and rate the show. If you like it.. tell a friend! Our theme song is (unofficially) officially endorsed by ERIC ROBERTS!
