Larry David Told Obama No. Canada Said Yes to Fox

Entertainment journalist Richard Crouse of http://richardcrouse.ca joins for two conversations that together cover everything worth knowing about pop culture right now — from Canada's biggest honour going to one of its most beloved exports, to a new comedy that Richard says will land on his best-of list by year's end. Michael J. Fox, Larry David, and a 21-Year-Old Who Saved the ShowMichael J. Fox has been promoted to Companion of the Order of Canada, recognised not just for his career but for his decades of Parkinson's advocacy. Larry David's new HBO series premiered this week, and his on-set exchange with producer Barack Obama — who gave a note, got brushed off, and had to remind David he once ran the country — is exactly what you'd expect from Larry David. Plus: a 21-year-old politics student sight-read an entire film score in front of a live orchestra in Sydney with no rehearsal and no warning. Booze and Reviews: The Invite Olivia Wilde directs and stars in a chamber comedy with Seth Rogan, Penelope Cruz, and Edward Norton that Richard calls a movie for adults — sharp, uncomfortable, and genuinely funny. Then Richard sets the table for your next dinner party with a run through of batched Negronis, Aperol spritzes, gimlets, and espresso martinis. Topics: Canadian entertainment, Michael J.
