* Missing the last train (or ferry if you live in Halifax) home and have to take the bus

* Falling in love with someone only for them to move to Montreal

* Dealing with a quarter-life crisis around responsibility and what you want to do with your life

then you should see SHOOK, a new Canadian film in theatres this weekend!

Justin Trudeau and Katy Perry went on a date. In Montreal. It lasted hours. Lobster and open toed shoes were involved.

We’ve been saying all summer long the 2010’s are soooo back. Fantastic Four is in theatres, everyone is switching to skinny jeans, Katy Perry is on tour and Justin Trudeau is the hottest headline in Canada. And now, they’re DATING?

In this episode I break down the headlines, all the details we know, and give you my best take on what a Heritage Minute Commercial capturing this moment would look like.

If you manage to decipher the videos of them on the date drop your transcripts in the comments. You know as this story develops I’m all over it.

Every week on Late Night Scrolling Canada we’ll be hearing from the newly eliminated teams from The Amazing Race Canada 🇨🇦

I heard your feedback LOUD AND CLEAR after last week’s interview: So many of yall catch up on The Amazing Race over the weekend and got SPOILED by last week’s episode — my bad! Giving y’all until Monday to catch up on the previous week’s episode seems like a fair deal, but keep the feedback coming all season long!

So. many. of you. reached out to say you were rooting for Osas and Esosa, AKA the Short Kings, to win this season. We are ALL sorry you are getting this interview so soon in the season. But even in their short time racing they made an iconic reputation https://www.nytimes.com/2021/11/01/opinion/facebook-social-media-problems.htmlfor themselves, and I see a LONG career in Reality TV ahead of them. Get in the comments with what show should cast them next!

Every week on Late Night Scrolling Canada we’ll be hearing from the newly eliminated teams from The Amazing Race Canada 🇨🇦

Starting with a SHOCKING elimination from two-time racers Sam and Brendan 😱 After a dominating performance in Leg 1 of the race, they just couldn’t get past Smurfs and Snowshoes.

What did their former race partners think of their sudden elimination? And did their romance last beyond the race? They spilled all the tea on their Amazing Race experience and relationship in this conversation.

We’ll be back after the next leg of the Amazing Race with the next eliminated team!

Surprise! A special interview drop that Late Night Scrolling subscribers get first 🪩

Bart Bass, Lorelai Gilmore, Hiram Lodge — what’s a teen television drama without a parent sub-plot? I love the drama parents bring to the silver screen, so sitting down with THE iconic parents of Jeremiah, Conrad and Belly from The Summer I Turned Pretty? Oh, a TREAT.

I never thought I’d say this, but Adam gives Bart Bass a run for his money. Make sure to stay to the end of the interview to hear why.

More new interviews on the way soon!

Nova Scotia has NEVER been so back. One of the most highly anticipated shows of the year, We Were Liars, premieres tomorrow in all her Nova Scotia glory.

Lockhart.

Surprise! A special interview drop that Late Night Scrolling subscribers get first 🪩

Warning: minor spoilers for Materialists in this interview

If y’all have followed my Canadian pop culture coverage over the years, you know how much I admire and respect Canadian Academy Award nominated screenwriter and director Celine Song. Getting the chance to chat with her about her new film Materialists was a challenge in narrowing down a long kept list of questions!

In this special interview we chat about her philosophical approach to writing, her relationship with shooting on 35mm and once sequence in the film that blew me away, and she reacts to Dakota Johnson’s interview on Good Hang with Amy Poehler.

Materialists is in theatres across Canada this weekend distributed by VVS Films. My review is also live on Substack:

Next Week 🌊

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,
