Richard speaks to “CTV News at Six” anchor Pauline Chan about the best movies and television to watch this weekend including Jason Mamoa and Dave Bautista in the second season of “See” on Apple TV+, the political drama “Oslo” on HBO, the Adrian Grenier thriller “Clickbait” on Netflix and the comedy “Vacation Friends” on Disney+.
This week on the Richard Crouse Show Podcast we meet Rachel Yoder, author of a new novel called “Nightbitch,” the story of a stay-at-home mom who becomes convinced she’s turning into a dog. The book is a best seller and has been optioned by Amy Adams to be turned into a film.
Then bestselling author Terry Fallis stops by to talk about the long-awaited follow-up to his chart-topping books “The Best Laid Plans” and “The High Road.” It’s called “Operation Angus,” and it’s a comic spy story that heralds the return of Angus McLintock.
And finally in the show we’ll meet Ali Liebert. She is a Canadian Screen Award winner for her work on “Bomb Girls” and can now be seen in “They Who Surround Us,” a poignant drama about a Ukrainian farmer living in Alberta who loses his wife in a tragic accident. It is getting great reviews and we’ll tell you all about it in just a few minutes.
