Hey there friends and weirdos! This week we decided to mix up the formula a little bit and watch a sort-of-documentary, sort-of-mockumentary, sort-of-reality, sort-of-fiction film. We watched and discussed the 2016 movie Operation Avalanche, co-starring the director and writer of the film, Matt Johnson. How exactly did the two CIA agents come up with a plan to fake the moon landing? How does a blending of reality and fiction lend to a conspiracy theory narrative? We discuss all this and more!

On this week's Richard Crouse Show: It's hard to remember now, but there was a time when we were not tethered to our smart phones. A new film, “BlackBerry,” starring Jay Baruchel and Matt Johnson, and now playing in theatres, vividly recreates the scrappy story of friendship, betrayal and hubris that began our obsession with our phones. Today, we going to focus on that story, courtesy of the film BlackBerry, which opens in theatres on May 12. There was a time when the Canadian made, odd little phone, with a QWERTY keyboard, encrypted messaging and low data cost, was a status symbol, used by some of the world' most powerful people. In the hands of everyone from President Barack Obama and Justin Timberlake to Katy Perry and Vogue Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour, the phones helped the world communicate in a whole new way. They were the original smart phones, which makes their Canadian creators Mike Lazaridis and Doug Fregin, visionaries, the men who gave us the future. Recently I sat down with BlackBerry co-writer, co-star and director Matt Johnson, and Jay Baruchel who stars as the awkward genius behind the BlackBerry tech, Mike Lazaridis. Matt is the director of The Dirties, which won Best Narrative Feature at the Slamdance Film Festival, Operation Avalanche, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival and mockumentary television series Nirvanna the Band the Show. You know Jay from his voice role as Hiccup Haddock in the How to Train Your Dragon franchise, and for roles in Knocked Up, Tropic Thunder, The Trotsky, Fanboys, She's Out of My League, Goon, This Is the End, and the action-fantasy film The Sorcerer's Apprentice. You can also see him as the host of We're All Gonna Die (Even Jay Baruchel) on Crave. BlackBerry is the story of the company Research in Motion, Jim Balsillie, the hotheaded businessman, played by Glenn Howerton, who was there for the rise and fall of the iconic company. “BlackBerry” isn't just a business story or the story of innovation. Instead, it is an underdog tale that emphasizes the human foibles that led to RIM's downfall, not just the financial ones. We began the interview with the idea of talking about the film, but were soon sidetracked by a discussion inspired by the lessons learned from the film, about what it means to be Canadian, why we don't celebrate our own stories and much more. Stay tuned, it often doesn't sound like an interview as much as a conversation we might have had over a drink or two. Like the movie we were supposed to concentrate on, before the conversation took a few left turns, the interview is passionate, patriotic, funny and not quite what you might expect.

Ethan and his best friend Justin are students trying to make sense of their high school existence. In what will be the last chapter of their teenage lives and the beginning of adulthood and beyond, they decide to make the ultimate senior video in the search for answers. Exploring teenage suburbia in a no-brakes adventure, questions arise whether there's more to their lives than simply growing up. Director, writer and lead actor Ethan Eng joins us for a conversation on the remarkably accomplished debut film that masterfully blends together documentary, narrative, skater punk and high school “senior project” elements to create something wholly unique and compelling, as well as how his collaboration with fellow lead actor and producer Justin Morrice and enlisting Matthew Miller and Matt Johnson (The Dirties, Operation Avalanche) to be THERAPY DOGS executive producers.

For this episode I had a chat with DIY filmmaker Matt Johnson. Matt has found critical acclaim with his 2013 film The Dirties, a found-footage mockumentary film tackling the much discussed topic of gun control and bullying in a high school, which went on to win the Grand Jury Prize at the Slamdance Film Festival. His following film Operation Avalanche saw him and his team infiltrate NASA to shoot another found footage project based around the topic of the Apollo 11 moon landings. Were the moon landings fake? Watch the film AND YOU DECIDE. But most recently, he has co-written and starred in the Vice comedy series Nirvanna The Band The Show with Jay McCarrol, where he plays a helpless musician, possibly with a large chip in his brain coming up with plans and schemes to play at his favourite restaurant.

I’m familiar with Miller through his work with filmmaker, Matt Johnson and their projects Operation Avalanche and The Dirties, as well as the t.v. series, Nirvana the Band, the Show. But I feel like I know him even better after chatting with him about the academic mayhem that is Wonder Boys (Miller has a pretty extensive academic life himself) and the ironically hip culture in High Fidelity (his other film choice).

Lily Rabe is terrific as the quiet, socially-awkward but thoughtful teacher, and her performance won her Best Actress at this year's SXSW Film Festival. Directed & Co-Written by Julia Hart, the film is now in theatres & coming soon to VOD, from The Orchard. For our "Not Yet in Theatres" segment this week, we interview director Paul Taylor about his film "Driftwood," a dialogue-free thriller about a mysterious woman who is rescued and/or kidnapped by an older man for unknown reasons. The film won the Narrative Feature Jury Award at this year's Slamdance Film Festival, and it screens on September 18th at the Arclight Hollywood as part of the Slamdance Cinema Club.

1967: the height of the Cold War, Tte CIA suspects there is a Russian mole inside of NASA, sabotaging the Apollo program. They send two young agents on a mission to go undercover, posing as documentary filmmakers to capture NASA’s race to the moon. The real mission – use their access and technology to hunt down the leak. But what they discover is far more shocking than soviet spies… Their government may be hiding a secret about Apollo that could define the decade, and the White House will stop at nothing to silence anyone who learns it. Operation Avalanche, Director Matt Johnson’s follow-up to the widely-acclaimed The Dirties, is another fake documentary film starring Johnson and collaborator Owen Williams, once again as young would-be filmmakers. This time, though, the DV cameras and school-shooting plot are swapped out for 16mm and the faking of the moon landing.

RECORDED AS POP CULTURE CLUB:  Welcome to an exciting edition of Pop Culture Club, in which I interview two filmmakers whose past and present work I've rather enjoyed quite a bit.  Matt Johnson is a sprightly young Canadian working in mainly a mockumentary framework for both of his wide-eyed tales of potentially misguided ambition. His latest, OPERATION AVALANCHE, is not unlike his first film only this time we are in a different era with similar characters. Recruited by the CIA in 1967, young filmmakers shoot footage of a fake moon landing after learning that NASA is losing the space race to the Russians. I had the tremendous opportunity to talk with Matt about this incredibly entertaining new film.  In addition, I also welcome Joshua Marston to the show, who had a huge hit back in 2004 with MARIA FULL OF GRACE. His latest recruits two of my favorite actors working today, Rachel Weisz and Michael Shannon, in a gradually paced story about identity and building a personal narrative.  COMPLETE UNKNOWN is a bit of a mystery wrapped in a tender story about love past and present. I was honored to learn more about Joshua's process that also made me appreciate the film a little bit more in terms of themes and context.  Stay tuned for some more great episodes of Pop Culture Club to come, including talks with a director whose film changed my life and a musician whose work continues to inspire me!   Check out OPERATION AVALANCHE: http://xyzfilms.com/operation-avalanche/ Check out COMPLETE UNKNOWN: http://www.protagonistpictures.com/films/complete-unknown
