On theSaturday December 20, 2025 edition of The Richard Crouse Show we’ll meet author Joe Hill. His bestselling novels & short stories have inspired hit adaptations like “Locke & Key,” “Horns,” and “The Black Phone,” as well as “In the Tall Grass” (which he adapted for film and co-wrote the novella of with his father Stephen King.) Today we’ll talk about “King Sorrow,” a genre-bending horror epic that spans 25 years. It follows six college friends who summon a dragon using a book bound in human skin. Each year, they must choose a sacrifice—or become one.

Then we get to know Jen Viens. They work in both film and theatre across Canada. When Jen is not wearing one of their many hats on set or on stage, they coach actors of all ages and keep productions safe and creative as an Intimacy Coordinator

Then we spend some time with Will Arnett. The Canadian born actor, comedian, and producer is known for his voice roles, particularly as the title character in the Netflix series BoJack Horseman and as Batman in “The Lego Movie” franchise. He is also famous for his live-action roles, most notably G.O.B. Bluth in “Arrested Development.” He is also the host for the US version of “LEGO Masters.”

He has been Primetime Emmy Award-nominated for “Arrested Development,” “30 Rock,” and “BoJack Horseman.” Since 2020, he has hosted the Fox reality series Lego Masters. Arnett began co-hosting the comedy podcast “SmartLess” alongside Sean Hayes and Jason Bateman.

Today we talk about his new film“Is This Thing On?” In the film, which is already getting Oscar buzz, he plays Alex, who, after many years with Tess, played by Laura Dern, reach an amicable end to their marriage. As they figure out how to live separately while raising two boys and maintaining their friendships, Alex discovers stand up comedy and, in the process, learns more about himself and his relationship.
