Cinema Smorgasbord – Eric Roberts is the Man – Violet (/w Mike X Nichols)

What’s THIS? A returning episode of ERIC ROBERTS IS THE MAN with guest Mike X Nichols joining us to talk about all the latest Eric Roberts news as well as an odd AI-centered thriller from 2025 called VIOLET with a WILD backstory that is way more interesting than the film itself? IT’S TRUE! We talk about celebrity chefs, the SPIN cycle, mockbusters, stop motion, and so, SO much more before breaking down the unbelievable story behind VIOLET, which – despite being about the AI takeover of the world – features a ton of AI-generated content! WILD STUFF. CHECK IT OUT!

Cinema Smorgasbord – Cinema Smorgasbord Sells Out – Blue Heron (2025)

OH CANADA! On this episode of Cinema Smorgasbord Sells Out, our hosts have a chat about Canadian cinema having a moment, what the country can do to become a bigger player internationally (and at home) and some of our favorite Canadian films before taking a look at Sophy Romvari’s tremendous semi-autobiographical drama BLUE HERON from 2025. It’s a quietly experimental film about a family becoming increasingly fractured by a child’s erratic behavior, and it’s worth going out of your way to see. And hear us talk about!
