S2 E2: Eric Roberts

[@james87367]

Runaway Train is one of my favourite films of all time. Eric was a fantastic guest. What a brilliant podcast.

[@tjtenser7828]

Wow, Eric and Michael together - I'm in! Two phenomenal actors and all round great guys.

[@hombrelobomedia3503]

Eric F’n Roberts!!!! The man!!!!! Great actor!!!!! Legendary stuff!!!

[@morganmarston]

Best of the Best 1 & 2 😎 Number 2 is hard to find

[@hawkspeak8592]

this was amazing, as is Eric Roberts, able to play those doomed tortured characters and make us understand them. As he did in Star 80 and Runaway Train, going order his book right now

[@CloisForever29]

Two legends in one room❤ Had the biggest crush on them. Great actors too

[@HaveCheetahWillView]

I'm so impressed you Eric to sit in one place for 90 minutes!!! Great interview Michael and Eric.

[@DanzigDemento]

Eric Roberts and Mickey Roarke made you feel like they weren’t acting. Then I saw Star 80 and can’t believe it isn’t considered one of the best films of all time. Fosse, Roberts and Hemingway were all amazing in so many ways.

[@nevusorton940]

One of my favorite actors in some of the best movies Mr Biehn

[@eddiemcgrath8536]

Michael has a podcast! Glad to be in at the start buddy. I hope its a great success for you.

[@billyjesus5442]

I love how cheap and real everything looks. No fancy set, just two dudes sitting in converted garage.

[@andrewh3264]

Wow.... just now finding this pod... loving it... can't wait to see what's comes next!

[@sanchez501]

Great guest. I first saw him as The Master in the Doctor Who movie from 1996.

[@TheBillPodcast]

Superb interview with a fantastic guest. And as one of the many Comic Con fans who have paid to meet Michael and thank him for changing my life, I'm happy we have all helped make his life easier in return :)

[@axelstone3131]

Loving the arcade gambit with street fighter. Very cool.

[@castle07dw]

Gem of an interview

[@gabbysojourner7086]

What a great conversation! So sympatico definitely helps open up the details. Each subsequent podcast reveals Michael's growth as a conversationalist rather than the far-too-quick and all too brief "interviews" that dominate the airways. Each new podcast feeds our hunger for those yet to come. Eric Roberts is quite open and comfortable with his experiences and insights not only concerning his role as Actor but also in sharing the relationships he's experienced with other actos, directors, and producers. Maybe we'll see Eric and Michael in a movie or two yet.

[@elmonoopinion9641]

another great guy, Eric inspired me to practice karate, his role on best of the best and the sequel rocks, he IS the guy, and then he was an angel on this film the prophecy, and of course the specialist, that was THE MOVIE in the nineties. You ROCK Eric!

[@rjmacready9828]

1:23:50 Dark Knight... love you Michael but you need time stamps

[@screwintuna]

The street fighter machine in the background is my favorite part of the show. Quickly becoming one of my favorite pod-shows, the stories of a Hollywood from yesteryear are always fascinating and I love to hear the breakdowns.

[@woof9408]

For real. I love Street Fighter and these two great actors!

[@sinistervids71]

So glad Michael got Eric to talk about Star 80 so much. I have always been interested in hearing about the making of that film.

[@jessliaudin1004]

That was so cool to listen to. The great thing is that you still feel that Mr Roberts got a real passion for his job and that's inspiring.

[@justinfalzon6854]

RIP James Earl Jones.

[@almudenaandrescarrillo9607]

What an episode, OMG 🤪! I don't know even how to start! As I said every program better than the last!! The first one, WHAT A FUCKING GENERATION OF ACTORS AN ACTRESSES BORN IN 50's!!! I think you are not concious HOW MUCH IMPORTANT YOU WERE AND ARE FOR MY GENERATION, born in 70's and 80's!! We grow up with the video player and In video clubs!! We were the first gen having an ENTIRE CINEMA WORLD FOR US!! And You, GUYS AND GIRLS, were in the covers in our VHS 📼 that we rented every week! Can you imagine how much you were part of our lives!! For that We are in lines and for that I LOVE THIS SHOW and the conversation between you! Bob Fosse! He was a Genius really. The director and choreographer of ALL THAT JAZZ (what a masterpiece). The anecdote about Peter Bogdanovich didn't know it. I saw Star 80 some years ago and it was a very dark story just as P B looked to me always. MICKEY ROURKE! I totally Agree with Eric and Michael. He is a HUGE ACTOR. He was stoned me with his Motorcycle Boy. You can imagine!! Barfly, that they talked about, is one of the best acting I've ever seen. But i was really bad with his change. You know. Watching him in The Wrestler was a kind of Reconciliation with him. Runaway train is a Great Movie about human condition and totally Breathless. But THE Movie with Eric Roberts I mostly remember Is THE AMBULANCE. I like so much that Movie. I missed it. Finally I went to IMDB To catch up and I see that he has 748 credits 🤪🤪 WTF!! There are soooo life to do that!! How? And one thing!!! OF COURSE WOMEN ARE THE BOSSES. What would you do without us! 🤗

[@KPisce89]

Wow cool seing two actors i've actually met in real life (at two seperate conventions) just having a great conversation. Now Michael Biehn has been my hero since i was a kid (Terminator but especially Aliens was a huge influence). Now Eric Roberts is a legend but check out when he played a serial killer at death row on HBOs "OZ" what a performance.

[@MiNiMeMiniatureDrumCovers]

You really need to watch the specialist Michael! Amazing cast!

[@ericjohnson8326]

I agree with Eric Treat should have been a superstar.

[@LisetteSanabria-Velazque-ne9jb]

Great Interview 💯 Eric Roberts 💯

[@Vaporvice84]

Goodness, I remember the lead up to the first Expendables back in the day. Back in like 1008, 2 years before it was made, and I followed all the viral marketing up until the premiere. I was disappointed that Beihn didn't get involved, but until today, I never knew that Stallone threw him under the bus with words like "Actors that aren't getting work anymore". I only remember Sly saying he was thinking of putting together a "Homecoming of 80s action tough guys". What a missed opportunity.

[@liamoreilly783]

I wanna hear eric tall about the best of the best films ...i love them but never heard him say a word on them

[@justinfalzon6854]

Alex Grady in the house

[@andrewh3264]

Best of the best and part 2... Great!!! 3 and 4 should have been totally different movies outside best of the best and waited and done a 3rd one once the situation was better.

[@jimmyboudreau4207]

I love to see you guys in movies again

[@johnkeogh8601]

nice work there lads, love from Ireland

[@soulstealer82]

back in 2014 i had what the doctors called cervical myelopathy which is basically compression of the spinal cord and i had to have an emergency surgery because one day my legs started to swell and i couldn't walk and after the surgery i was paralyzed and had to do a few years of physical and occupational therapy, i'm able to walk again but it somehow affected my memory, i have a hard time remembering alot of things to the point where t scares the hell out of me

[@deadraider420]

Grew up watching this man. Navy Seals movie made me crawl all over my neighbors tow lot at night pretending it was Isreal shit as an 8yr old. It was awesome sneaking out and sneaking back in. Couldn’t subscribe fast enough

[@Goldstar1113]

This needs WAY more views.

[@conorbrosnahan5464]

Subscribed. Hope you can get Linda Hamilton on for the 40th anniversary.

[@jimmyboudreau4207]

After seeing you for the first time in the movie The Rock you were going places and you sure did right to the top bro AutoZone active duty for 26 years during all your movies and you've been awesome for us

[@stephenszklarski5446]

This is so damn good

[@ExileGilby64]

Michael clearly had a *cough cough* moment with Angelina Jolie... Hahaha

[@steviegbcool]

Eric sounds like a great guy

[@jokerfleckcast3196]

Pop it tommy

[@stephenwilliamson8012]

Wow! I was born at Keesler as well!

[@billlozier5551]

Love MB and love his podcast. He actually felt for Paul S. in STAR 80. SO glad Eric corrected him as Paul being a complete asshole and beyond redemption. What the hell was MB thinking?

[@jeffreygouse802]

The part that perturbed me about that comment wasn't that he felt for Paul...it's that he said he DIDN'T feel bad for Dorothy--the murder victim! Why not feel bad for BOTH? Now, I'm coming into this knowing nothing about that story or movie, but it seemed pretty cold to not empathize with a young woman who was brutally murdered. Just very odd.

[@billlozier5551]

@@jeffreygouse802 You're right, it goes without saying that Dorothy was the real victim. Murdered in a most disgusting way.Paul was a complete psycho.

[@dafrog491]

Wat?? Eric roberts was on Michael Biehns show? Two bad-asses

[@axelstone3131]

Michael, get Sly on the show. It would be awesome.

[@morningstarlux]

Wha-!? Michael has a street fighter arcade cabinet!?

[@jimmyboudreau4207]

I'm lost... wen u made Termanator said you were with your mate because of love Sean you said boyfriend had hard time seeing u with woman? Confused from your coma con? Buy? Both ways ? Plus kids

[@bbqnetwork8536]

Michael - Please clarify your comments regarding Bogdanovich.

[@bbqnetwork8536]

Im unclear why you continued to insult Peter and make excuses or dismiss Paul. I think you should explain more thoroughly what you meant by what you were saying. Paul killed Dorothy. Peter dated Dorothy. Are you unclear about the facts?

[@Lifemagic364]

​@@bbqnetwork8536 Why do you care

[@OnlyThe1Son]

@@bbqnetwork8536 I think he made it clear. He disliked Peter as did many people! Peter wasnt well liked by many. Plus , his actions in regards to women shows he was a predator! First Cheating on this wife with a young 19 year old Cybill Shepherd! now Cybill also slept with Bridges on this film... so she was obviously getting around and PETER wanted her for himself. the GUY was married with children! and his WIFE was working on the film.. how do you think she felt? he was doing it right under her nose! and Cybil must have known too obviously. she was young.. ok.. but PETER is mid 30s a family man, that's a real shitty thing to do... then.. Dorothy.... so after Peter got tired of Cybil.. probably cheated on her too.. they break up now Cybil is almost 27. and Peter is 40 something. and now he wants another young GIRL.. a playmate.. and.. she is married. does he care? NO.. did he care that he was married 10 years prior to the production designer and has two kids with her and starts cheating on her with his female lead? NO.. he didnt.. the guy is a scumbag!! so now.. PAUL SNIDER is obviously upset.. pissed off. he is also a young guy.. not even 30... Hugh wanted her too.. probably got her.. Peter wanted her... PAUL was married to her.. many men wanted her.. paul was married to her! so you have a famous hollywood director, hugh Hefner owner of playboy and a nightclub owner husband and they are all after the same woman.. Peter had no business going after her. but the predator on young girls that he is he went for her.. because he had to have her. so he slanders Hugh and tells everyone he tried to rape her. The driver of the car that night kept his mouth shut.. so who knows.. was it rape? or a welcome to playboy casting couch type thing and probably slept with him.. anyway. Peter is a scumbag.. after Dorothy dies.. what does this sick man do? he goes after his younger sister! again ANOTHER 19 year old... girls he can manipulate! 30 years younger than him!!!! many men find that behavior disgusting. he obviously has a fetish for young girls.. now.. Michael probably understands PAUL. so do others.. here is a guy married to his girl. madly in love with her.. married her... and he has this hollywood director trying to steal her.. hugh hefner possibly raping her... and he is young.. not mentally stable.. emotional.. confused.. probably drugs involved.. and killed her out of rage and then kills himself because he knows he will fry for this. and what does Peter do? this is where maybe Michael is wondering .. Did Peter start saying Paul was a scumbag, a dope head, a pimp.. a bad guy... all the press landed on him.. we cant believe the press they create narratives all the time and like Eric said, Peter rings Eric and says, MAKE MY STORY of Dorothy.. yeah probably gonna be full of lies... that makes him out as a nice guy and hugh and Paul as evil..

[@777Nny]

I wish they hadn't spoiled Star 80, I hadn't yet watched the movie. I didn't even know what it was about.

[@Lifemagic364]

It came out 40 years ago. That's on you

[@txsiimk]

It's based on a true story....
