RICHARD TO HOST AN ADVANCE SCREENING of “THE RIGHTEOUS” IN TORONTO!

ENTER FOR YOUR CHANCE TO WIN: PASSES to the ADVANCE SCREENING of THE RIGHTEOUS!

A unique and darkly engaging spiritual thriller, strikingly shot in black and white, The Righteous tells the story of Frederic (Henry Czerny) a grieving man struggling with his faith, who helps an injured young man, Aaron Smith (Mark O’Brien) who stumbles onto his property one night, claiming to be lost in the woods. Frederic and his wife (Mimi Kuzyk) invite the man to stay for the night, but Frederic soon begins to have doubts about this enigmatic stranger’s story – and his motives for being there. When Aaron asks Frederic to commit an unspeakable deed, it becomes clear that the man is not who he seems, and has been sent to test the very limits of Frederic’s existence.

THE RIGHTEOUS had its WORLD PREMIERE at the 2021 Fantasia International Film Festival, and is in select theatres, June 3! TADFF and Vortex Media want to send some of our fans (and their guests) to the advance screening at 7:00PM, Tuesday, May 31, 2022, at the Cineplex Scotiabank Theatre (259 Richmond St W, Toronto, ON M5V 3M6).

This week on the Richard Crouse Show we meet author Eugene Marten. His latest powerful new novel “Pure Life” is the sprawling story of the rise and fall of a former professional American Football player, Nineteen, who claws his way from a working-class background to wealth and fame before losing everything.

Then, we get to know Mark O’Brien. As an actor, Mark is one of the stars of Showtime’s “City on a Hill,” starring opposite Kevin Bacon and produced by Ben Affleck and Matt Damon. You’ve seen him on the Amazon series “The Last Tycoon” opposite Kelsey Grammar, and will soon see him in the recurring guest star role of ambitious Los Angeles Deputy District Attorney Thomas Milligan in the second season of HBOs popular “Perry Mason” reboot. Today we’ll talk about “The Righteous,” his debut as a feature film director… oh, and he also wrote it and stars as well as Aaron, a mysterious young man who turns the life of a former priest upside down.

Finally, director Sunnie McFadden-Curtis stops by to talk about “Broken Vows: Stories Of Separation,” a new documentary that takes you into the lives of women experiencing separation.

NEWSTALK 1010: THE ENTERTAINMENT COURT IS IN SESSION!

Richard joins the hosts of NewsTalk 1010’s “The New Rush” with Reshmi Nair and Scott MacArthur for a new segment called “Entertainment Court.” Each week Richard serves as the judge, Reshmi and Scott the jurors, and we render a verdict on the week’s biggest pop culture stories.

This week we ask, Does it matter that Ellen DeGeneres apparently isn’t the ray of sunshine in real life that she portrayed on the television talk show? No matter which way the jury goes, will there be a winner in the Johnny Depp/Amber Heard case? Is the ABBA an innovative digital concert a money grabbing gimmick, or new form of entertainment?
