I write about inspirational movies to watch when you are feeling down!

“No matter how carefully you’ve mapped out your life, it is still possible to feel lost, as if your life’s compass is spinning in all directions at once. When you’re feeling cut adrift, movies can be more than a distraction, they can be a source of inspiration to help you get back on track…” Read the whole thing HERE!

IHEARTRADIO: LABOR DAY SPECIAL WITH AMANDA MARSHALL + VIGGO MORTENSEN!

On the Saturday August 31, 2024 edition of The Richard Crouse Show we’ll meet Amanda Marshall.

You know the name, but could be forgiven if you wondered what happened to her. After hits like her 1996 single, “Birmingham”, which reached number 3 in Canada and charted on the US, and diamond and certified 3× platinum albums, she disappeared from the charts and the music scene for more than 20 years.

She says the legal battle with her former manager that kept her away from the spotlight for two decades “turned out to be the very best thing that ever happened to me.” We’ll find out why in this interview.

Then, we’ll meet three-time Academy Award nominee for Best Actor Viggo Mortensen. From his film debut in 1985’s “Witness” to the “Lord of the Rings” movies that made him a superstar to his more recent work, like the Oscar winning “Green Book,” he has been a constant, welcome presence on screens for 40 years. Joins me today as the writer, director, star, and composer of “The Dead Don’t Hurt,” a great new Western now available on all major platforms for Digital Purchase and Digital Rental.

Then, we meet Salah Bachir, author of a new memoir, “First to the Leave the Party: My Life with Ordinary People Who Happen to Be Famous,” available now wherever fine books are sold.
