Episode 367 - Actor Eric Roberts, the legacy of Ozzy & "The Osbournes" plus Eric Bana in “Untamed."

·1 hr 1 min·3 clips

Eric Roberts describes two bottoms: an overdose on a bathroom floor and watching sobriety up close.

Culture Pop starts with Steve Mason and Sue Kalinske swapping summer updates. Sue mentions finishing her fifth triathlon. The swim was rough because the water was choppy. She also says she was getting over being sick. That led to a doctor visit and an x-ray after a hard cough. From there, the show moves into its main pop-culture conversation. Eric Roberts is the guest. He is there to talk about a life that has taken him through a lot of movies and into a memoir coming out now. The hosts frame the interview with the same easy familiarity they use throughout the show. The episode also turns to *Untamed* and its lead actor. Sue says the show grabbed her early. She describes *Untamed* as harrowing. That reaction becomes a major part of the discussion. The hosts go back and forth on the tension and the craft. They talk about how dense the plotting feels. They also point out the writing and the way several storylines come together at once. Sam Neill gets a shoutout. The lead actor gets called terrific. Lily Santiago is praised for playing the partner. The conversation keeps its casual rhythm even when it moves into darker material. By the end, the show has moved from triathlon mishaps to celebrity stories to a tense crime drama without losing its easy pace.
