Episode 102: Eric Roberts is the Man Redux – A Karate Christmas Miracle (2019)

5/25/2021
What better way to celebrate the life and work of actor Eric Roberts than watching a film where his performance was pasted in from a different movie entirely? That's the case with A KARATE CHRISTMAS MIRACLE, which is already pretty darn confusing, and then they add in scenes from a horror movie, and then forget to have any karate in it. OOPS! Anyway, this is real bad, but thankfully we have martial arts expert (and author of the memoir I OVERCAME MY AUTISM AND ALL I GOT WAS THIS LOUSY ANXIETY DISORDER) Sarah Kurchak joining us to break it all down in detail. IT'S A MIRACLE! The post Episode 102: Eric Roberts is the Man Redux – A Karate Christmas Miracle (2019) appeared first on Eric Roberts is the Man.
