Last Call with Richard Crouse covers several topics. First, the enthusiastic audience reaction to the new Minecraft movie is discussed, comparing it to the audience participation of Rocky Horror Picture Show. Ever wonder about KFC's unusual marketing strategies? These include past items like flavored nail polish and fireplace logs, and their newest product: chicken-flavored toothpaste. Finally, Richard reviews the third season of White Lotus (available on Crave), expressing some disappointment despite praising the performances of the actors.
On Booze and Reviews, Richard Crouse reviews the movie Warfare, a harrowing and realistic depiction of the Iraq War based on the experiences of ex-Navy SEAL Ray Mendoza. Crouse emphasizes the film's immersive, visceral nature and its authenticity, achieved by using only veterans of the 2006 Iraq conflict in its creation. Crouse also explores the historical relationship between alcohol and soldiers, focusing on the origins of "gunpowder proof" rum and detailing the history of cocktails like the Sidecar (linked to a WWI army captain), the Cuba Libre (linked to the Spanish-American War), and the Armoured Diesel (associated with General Patton).
