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.

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.

From Facebook: “Last night I hosted the @CCE_editors gala live and in person for the first time since the lockdowns began. It was also my birthday. It was a great event, and not just because the CCE president Stephen Philipson convinced the audience to hum–not sing because that is COVIDy spitty–happy birthday to me. Hundreds of people simultaneously humming sounded incredible and made me feel very special. Thanks for having me in to host and thanks for the hums! #CCEawards“
Richard and CTV NewsChannel host Marcia MacMillan discuss the untimely passing of Ray Liotta.
“There’s not a day that goes by that I don’t hear somebody mention Goodfellas,” said Liotta, “unless I stay home all night. It’s defined who I am, in a sense.”
