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!
