Shane Hewitt catches up with film critic and pop culture commentator Richard Crouse for a fast-paced tour through movies, music, and the stranger corners of the news. They preview the Toronto Film Festival, weigh the buzz around a possible Johnny Depp “Pirates” comeback, and unpack the trend of celebrities eyeing a European escape—like Jimmy Kimmel’s new Italian citizenship. Along the way, they talk Shania Twain’s unexpected McDonald’s collab, debate the merits (or madness) of a ketchup smoothie, and daydream about life on the road in Europe.

Then, on Booze and Reviews, Shane Hewitt and Richard Crouse hit the road—at least in conversation—imagining a European motorhome movie tour while swapping stories from Richard’s bartending days. They review Nobody 2, the action-comedy sequel starring Bob Odenkirk as an unlikely assassin dad, and debate whether it delivers enough fresh twists. In their “Booze and Reviews” segment, the duo mixes things up with Manitoba-themed cocktails, from the zesty Manitoba Mule to the Golden Boy, before daring to imagine the ultimate wildcard: a ketchup-infused drink.
