Cinema Smorgasbord – Eric Roberts is the Man – 12th Annual On Cinema Oscar Special (2025) (/w Zach Weiss)

Cinema Smorgasbord, Podcasts on 3 days ago 0Comments 0Likes

I’ve got the OSCAR fever, hope you got it too! On a returning ERIC ROBERTS is the MAN we’re joined by guest – and ON CINEMA, AT THE CINEMA expert Zach Weiss – to discuss Eric Roberts’ recent appearance on the 12th Annual Oscar Special. We go deep on the history of the bizarre franchise created by Tim Heidecker and Gregg Turkington, as well as its various spin-offs, and try to explain just why the heck people would spend hours of their time watching this stuff (a questions we’re VERY familiar with on ERITFM!). Just in case that doesn’t whet your whistle we also have a look at an episode of the action espionage TV show BURN NOTICE directed by Renny Harlin and featuring an ALL-STAR cast including Dean Cain, Kristanna Loken, and – of course- ERIC ROBERTS! All this and the latest Eric Roberts news IF YOU CAN HANDLE IT!

Cinema Smorgasbord – Cinema Smorgasbord Sells Out – The Shrouds (2024)

Cinema Smorgasbord, Podcasts on April 9, 2025 0Comments 0Likes

We can feel ourselves rotting on a brand new episode of Cinema Smorgasbord Sells Out covering Cronenberg’s latest – and perhaps most personal – work THE SHROUDS from 2024. Vincent Cassel stars as Karsh, a businessman who has developed a technology called a shroud, which allows people to view the corpses of their loved ones after they have been buried. After a targeted attack of his graveyard (including the grave of his late wife), Karsh – with the help of his late wife’s sister and her ex-husband – starts to investigate the motivation behind the attack. It’s dark, oppressive, oddly funny and awfully odd, but is it great? Let’s discuss!

Cinema Smorgasbord – You Don’t Know Dick – Used Cars (1980) (/w Mike White)

Cinema Smorgasbord, Podcasts on April 1, 2025 0Comments 0Likes

It’s the long-awaited return of YOU DON’T KNOW DICK and we’ve got a barn burner of an episode featuring cinematic podcast royalty Mike White (from The Projection Booth) joining us to chat about the raucous 1980 comedy USED CARS /w Kurt Russell, Jack Warden, Deborah Harmon, Frank McRae and Gerrit Graham! But before that we go deep on what the heck happened to Robert Zemeckis, and how USED CARS came about – and how it was turned into a mid-80s TV show (briefly). All this and, of course, a close look at Dick Miller’s (brief) appearance, and it’s NON-STOP LAUGHS. Trust US!

Cinema Smorgasbord – Cinema Smorgasbord Sells Out – Anora (2024)

Cinema Smorgasbord, Podcasts on March 18, 2025 0Comments 0Likes

How do you solve a problem like ANORA, the recent Best Picture Oscar winner directed by problematic(?) fav Sean Baker? It seems like everyone has an opinion on the film (about a young sex worker who marries the son of a Russian oligarch), so why not add OURS into the mix? We get down and dirty with some of the controversies surrounding the film, but mostly just talk about what we liked and didn’t like about the film like good little critics. ENJOY!

Cinema Smorgasbord – How Do You Do, Fellow Kids? – Youth in Revolt (2009)

Cinema Smorgasbord, Podcasts on March 4, 2025 0Comments 0Likes

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.

Cinema Smorgasbord – George Kennedy is My Copilot – Uninvited (1988)

Cinema Smorgasbord, Podcasts on February 17, 2025 0Comments 0Likes

On this long-awaited return of GEORGE KENNEDY IS MY CO-PILOT the gang are joining Alex Cord, Clu Gulager and – of course – George Kennedy on a beautiful sea voyage only partially spoiled by the presence of a genetically modified cat that spits up a weird gremlin thing that is killing everyone. Uh oh! There’s murder, mystery, insanity-due-to-hunger, ankle-biting, finger munching and a bevy of horny teens because, heck, why not? All this and a look at George’s time as a pitchman for Schaefer Beer! JOIN US!

Cinema Smorgasbord – Whatever Happened to Vic Diaz? – Black Mama, White Mama (1973) (THE FINALE!)

Cinema Smorgasbord, Podcasts on February 11, 2025 0Comments 0Likes

We knew this day was coming, but it’s the FINAL EPISODE of WHATEVER HAPPENED TO VIC DIAZ?, our glorious deep-dive into the film career of “the Filipino Peter Lorre” Vic Diaz which was one of our first ever podcasts under the Cinema Smorgasbord banner. It’s been a fine few years, and what better way to round things out than with an all-timer exploitation classic starring Pam Grier and Margaret Markov as two women chained together and making their way through a peril-filled “South American” jungle. Add in a truly demented Sid Haig performance and you’ve got a recipe for (filthy) fun. And of course we have a tremendous Vic Diaz performance as the sleazy drug dealer Victor “Vic” Cheng! Let’s end this thing with a bang!
