Movie and entertainment critic Richard Crouse joins Shane Hewitt for Last Call to talk about what’s happening in the entertainment world. This week, Sydney Sweeney is launching a limited-edition soap made with her bathwater. Miley Cyrus expressed regret over most of her tattoos. Lady Gaga will guest star in Netflix's Wednesday series.
On "Booze and Reviews”, Richard Crouse dives into the action-packed world of "Ballerina," the latest installment in the John Wick universe. Richard says that while the film delivers the expected gun-fu and high body count, the story feels overstuffed and lacks the lean, mean efficiency of the original. Richard then helps us explore the places where assassins might hang out, including The 21 Club (New York City): A former speakeasy with a glamorous yet shady history, rumored to have hosted mobsters and influential figures during Prohibition. Finally Richard pairs this film with cocktails named after or inspired by assassins.
