On this week\u2019s Richard Crouse Show Martin Freeman stops by. You know the Emmy, a BAFTA and Screen Actors Guild Award winning actor from playing Tim Canterbury in the original British series of \u201cThe Office.\u201d He was Dr. John Watson in the British crime drama series \u201cSherlock\u201d opposite Benedict Cumberbatch, Bilbo Baggins in \u201cThe Hobbit\u201d film trilogy and will soon be seen in \u201cBlack Panther: Wakanda Forever,\u201d reprising the role of Everett K. Ross. Today we\u2019ll talk about his newest project, the critically acclaimed police series \u201cThe Responder,\u201d now playing on Brit Box. \n\nThen, we meet Emmy-award winning documentary filmmakers Dan Geller and Dayna Goldfine who have created a fascinating look at iconic Canadian singer and poet Leonard Cohen called \u201cHALLELUJAH: Leonard Cohen, A Journey, A Song\u201d that uses one of his most famous songs as a starting point. We\u2019ll find out why one of Cohen\u2019s most famous songs was rejected by his record company and more.\n\nLater in the show we\u2019ll meet Gregory Sestero, star of a new found footage film called \u201cInfrared.\u201d In the film he plays the creepy caretaker of an abandoned schoolhouse. If Greg\u2019s name rings a bell, it\u2019s likely because you\u2019ve attended one of the midnight madness screenings of \u201cThe Room,\u201d a movie so deliciously awful, it has become a cult favorite since its release in 2003. Gregory turned the experience of making the so-bad-it\u2019s-a-hoot movie into a book, which eventually went on to become the Oscar nominated movie The Disaster Artist, starring James Franco and Seth Rogen. We talk about \u201cInfrared\u201d and whether or not, twenty years on, if \u201cThe Room\u201d is an embarrassment or a source of pride.
