Richard Crouse, joins Shane Hewitt for another edition of Last Call, to unpack three major entertainment stories making waves. He discusses Netflix’s landmark new deal with Sesame Street, which will see new episodes released simultaneously on PBS and Netflix—ensuring the beloved children’s show remains accessible while evolving for a modern audience. Richard also dives into the controversy surrounding Kevin Spacey’s return to the spotlight at the Cannes Film Festival, where he’s set to receive a lifetime achievement award amid lingering public scrutiny. Finally, Richard highlights CNN’s groundbreaking move to air George Clooney’s Broadway adaptation of Good Night, and Good Luck live on television—a first in Broadway history—underscoring Clooney’s continued advocacy for press freedom and democratic values.

Richard Crouse joins Shane Hewitt and the Nightshift for another edition of Booze and Reviews. This week Richard talks all things Lilo & Stitch—the heartwarming tale of a lonely Hawaiian girl and her chaotic alien companion. Filmed on the beautiful beaches of Oahu, the movie inspired Richard to pair the review with tropical cocktails straight from paradise. He serves up the history and recipe behind the iconic Mai Tai, a rum-filled classic born in California but made famous in Hawaii, and the vibrant Blue Hawaii, a layered, ocean-blue drink created in Honolulu. It’s a mix of movie magic and mixology that brings a splash of the islands to your screen—and your glass.
