Last Call: Shane Hewitt catches up with film critic Richard Crouse for a wide-ranging look at the entertainment world. They talk TIFF highs and lows, including the grind of festival days and the buzz around The Roses, a Benedict Cumberbatch–Olivia Colman drama drawing criticism for its handling of food allergies. The conversation revisits Charlie Sheen’s infamous past as Richard previews a new documentary about his turbulent rise and fall, reflecting on how media amplified the chaos. They also highlight how social media is reshaping careers, spotlighting Veronica Slawikowska’s leap to Saturday Night Live. To close, Richard teases a playful segment on pairing movies with drinks.
Booze And Reviews: Shane Hewitt and Richard Crouse mix movies with cocktails in the debut of Booze and Reviews. Richard reviews the remake of The Toxic Avenger, celebrating its quirky nods to the cult original, while Shane shares his discovery of Empress 1908 gin and its striking violet pour. The conversation drifts back to 1984, when drinks like the Long Island Iced Tea and Piña Colada were at their peak, blending pop culture, nostalgia, and mixology.
