On "Last Call," movie critic Richard Crouse joins Shane Hewitt and the Nightshift to discuss Madonna's new limited series with Netflix and producer Shawn Levy. The show is about her life and music. Richard also explores a fascinating anecdote about the new Pope, who reportedly watched the movie "Conclave" before being elected, according to his brother. When Metallica performed at Virginia Tech's stadium for the first time ever on Wednesday, the ground shook — twice.

Richard Crouse sticks around for ‘Booze and Reviews’ - The film "Friendship," starring Tim Robinson, delves into the awkward life of Craig, a lonely man who finds camaraderie with his cool neighbor, only to have it abruptly end. The review highlights the film's blend of humor and heartfelt exploration of loneliness, with Robinson's performance driving the story.  To accompany the film, Richard suggested pairing the movie with an "Old Friend" cocktail for its balance of sweetness and spice, and the "Friendship Tea" for its comforting warmth.
