Welcome back to Late Night Scrolling 🪩

There’s a lot of debate about what the song of the summer 2025 might be — but when it comes to the country song of the summer, I think we have a strong contender in Devin Cooper’s new single MEMORIES THAT MADE US.

And I swear I’m not biased just because he’s this week’s guest! The lyrics really nail the whole rural-Canadian-summer life that most of us have lived. I asked him to tell us what really happened with some of the lyrics in this song, and of course how he’s thinking of adapting it into his summer tour and Calgary Stampede shows.

Now don’t skip this episode if you don’t consider yourself a country music fan! One of Cooper’s greatest strengths as an artist is his rock influences and absolutely killer songwriting. Check out some of his acoustic sessions on streaming or live show versions of his singles — he really knows how to turn it up for a live audience.

Next Week 🌊

Yall, summer in Canada is peak pop culture season. Every streamer is releasing new Canadian shows and films, or filming new seasons, or planning fall shoots, and of course we’re counting down to the mega blockbuster TIFF50 happening in September — there is so much for us to talk about and catch up on.

At the end of this episode I spill some secrets of what’s coming up, but let’s just say, time to beg the TV gods to lift the embargo on some of the interviews I’m holding back for ya! As soon as I can release these, they’ll be yours!

Catch the behind the scenes in real time on Instagram and get ready for tell-all behind the scenes episodes coming as fast as we can get them recorded for ya next week!

See you then,

Welcome back to Late Night Scrolling’s Canadian Screen Awards Coverage! 🪩

Nominated for Adapted Screenplay at the Canadian Screen Awards this year, Nova Scotia film Sharp Corner stars Emmy-award nominated actor Ben Foster (The Survivor, The Punisher, X-Men: The Last Stand) and Cobie Smulders (How I Met Your Mother, The Avengers)

The best part about having a director on the podcast? I get to ask all my burning questions about how they shot the film — and when it comes to Sharp Corner, there’s no shortage of technical questions I had for director Jason Buxton. Sharp Corner is a masterclass in action choreography and technical set design, and he stopped by the Late Night Scrolling podcast to share all the behind-the-scenes of bringing this shocking film to life.

Support Canadian cinema by seeing Sharp Corner in theatres! Playing now across Canada.

Welcome back to Late Night Scrolling 🪩

What happens when two giggly Canadian pop culture girliepops grab their mics and talk shop for an hour? Well, apparently this episode, which includes:

* An argument in favour of giving Jack Quaid and Chad Michael Murray Canadian citizenship

* Stories from the red carpet we’ve NEVER shared on the internet

* Exposing our longstanding crushes on Jay Baruchel, and Becca using her theme park expertise (literally) to expllain how his voice came to be in the How to Train Your Dragon theme parks

Becca aka the FilmTripper is such an original creator, with a twist on pop culture that I SO respect and admire. She’s the real deal, and I know if you don’t already know her you’ll adore her as much as I do by the end of this episode!

Next Week on Late Night Scrolling 💃

It’s Canadian Screen Awards month! We’re getting ready for Canada’s biggest night in film & television with a MONTH of special interviews bringing you closer to the stars of the season. And at the end of the month? Yall… get ready to eat. We’re cooking up some SPECIAL coverage that has me losing sleep — and the behind the scenes to bring it all to life starts now:

Welcome back to Late Night Scrolling!

Icon of stage and screen Wayne Burns joins me this week to, first and foremost, celebrate Aries season. The first time we met in person was at TIFF, at the premiere of SHARP CORNER which is now coming to theatres May 9. In this episode you’ll hear all about our crazy worlds-colliding red carpet moment, but you can watch it here

When I tell you Wayne is iconic, I mean Wayne is iconic. Two of his projects made waves at Canadian film fest, his new short EEL in post production, and film FAST LOVE soon to announce Toronto premieres and of course, SHARP CORNER.

We got real about how our Nova Scotian roots inform our work as producers and our province’s cinematic language — and no matter where you’re from, I think you’ll find the conversation cathartic. Everyone knows their hometown better than its misconceptions and headlines, and the beauty of film is that it captures those nuances and preserves them in time so we never forget what we’ve gone through. I loved this conversation and I know you will too!

Wayne’s gofundme for EEL is still live, you can check it out here: https://www.gofundme.com/f/eel-short-film-fundraiser?attribution_id=sl:95db8035-b10a-4fd8-863b-1dca4f2fb5a5&lang=en_US&utm_campaign=fp_sharesheet&utm_content=amp13_t1-amp14_c&utm_medium=customer&utm_source=copy_link and check out all of Wayne’s work at wayneburns.ca (we love a Canadian website domain!)

May is around the corner, and yall… we’re taking this show on the road. That’s right — we’re heading back to Toronto at the end of the month to meet up with friends and cook up some very special interviews ahead of the Canadian Screen Awards. I can’t wait for you to see what we’re cooking, get ready to EAT this month!

We’ll see you back next week!

After Season 1 of North of North finished airing on CBC and APTN, Anna and I reunited to chat about the twists of the season and bringing the North to the world with (at the time of recording) it’s upcoming Netflix release.

Plus: on Instagram you wrote in your messiest stories for a game of What Would Siaja Do? and y’all, Anna did not disappoint with her advice.

Heads up: Anna and I picked up right where we left off from our last conversation. If you haven’t listened to that episode yet check it out first — it’s the very first episode of this pod!

Welcome back to a special edition episode of Late Night Scrolling!

Canadian Screen Award season is upon us with hundreds of nominations dropping this morning, and I break it all down for you (and have a few breakdowns in the process) in this episode:

* Our friends from now 4x Canadian Screen Award nominated digital show EVERYBODY’S MEG stop by to react to their nominations and talk about Season 2 about to go into production.
