Movies, music, and even TV shows don’t just entertain—they change how we travel. Shane Hewitt talks with film critic Richard Crouse about the influence of pop culture on tourism, from “The Girl from Ipanema” drawing fans to Brazil to “Yellowstone” fueling trips to Montana. Richard also shares stories from his personal memorabilia collection, including a signed Jane Fonda book and “Lord of the Rings” autographs.

BOOZE AND REVIEWS!
What happens when a stylish film misses its mark? Shane Hewitt sits down with Richard Crouse for another edition of Booze and Reviews to talk about Honey Don’t, the new Ethan Coen crime drama starring Margaret Qualley and Chris Evans. Richard breaks down the movie’s noir influences, its glamorous visuals, and why its story feels aimless. The conversation dives into the cultural trope of detectives and their go-to drinks, connecting everything from classic private eyes to Jessica Jones and Hercule Poirot—with a side of whiskey.
