We’re literally a month away from productuon commencing on HEATED RIVALRY season two and three concurrently (expected) in Toronto. And it seems preparations are very much underway! Season two of the Crave series, is slated for an April 2027 release.
With Hudson Williams in town early June, sightings of Connor Storrie began surfacing soon after, including him being spotted walking along The Annex and Yorkville.
In recent weeks, the Actor was spotted at Paris Fashion Week at the Saint Laurent summer show (beside Madonna nonethess!), London, and also back in his hometown of L.A. celebrating the 4th of July.
It was just confirmed also that NBC has submitted Storrie for Emmy consideration in the Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series category for his fantastic Saturday Night Live hosting debut earlier this spring! “Emmy winner Connor Storrie” sure has a nice ring to it, doesn’t it?
It was amazing seeing Storrie again, and he always is so giving and gracious. He was so sweet taking a moment to pose with a peace sign with beanie and I!
We are excited to hear where he’ll be spotted next as he embarks the remainder of his 2026 in our city, Ottawa and Montreal!
Cannot wait to see this next season! Adore him!!

But the game is changed when the wunderkind Founder and CEO of Prodigy Corporation unlocks a new technological advancement: hybrids (humanoid robots infused with human consciousness). The first hybrid prototype named “Wendy” marks a new dawn in the race for immortality. After Weyland-Yutani’s spaceship collides into Prodigy City, “Wendy” and the other hybrids encounter mysterious life forms more terrifying than anyone could have ever imagined.

Today, GRAMMY®-nominated and Diamond-certified superstar Teddy Swims releases his most vulnerable single yet, “Break Up in Reverse.” Out now via Warner Records, the track is a deeply loving breakup song rooted not in regret or resentment, but a wish to relive the relationship all over again in a way that leads to a happy ending. Listen HERE and watch the accompanying official music video HERE.
The new song arrives as Swims plays a series of overseas festivals shortly after he wrapped a stateside summer run that culminated in a triumphant return to BottleRock and Bonnaroo. He was also the only artist to play both Stagecoach and Coachella this year, and made news for bringing David Lee Roth, Joe Jonas, and Vanessa Carlton onstage at the latter. In September, he launches THE UGLY TOUR, a massive North American arena tour. Info and itinerary below. Tickets HERE.
“Break Up in Reverse” is intimate from the start: just Swims’ voice over sweetly intimate acoustic strum as he paints a heartbreaking scene: “Tears on your face climb back into your eyes / A little less on your nerves and a little more on your mind.” Reuniting Swims with collaborators Julian Bunetta, John Ryan, Matt Zara, Mikky Ekko, and Tommy King, the cut builds to a warm swell of instrumentation and a poignant hook: “I wish we could break up in reverse / Every night would get better, instead of getting worse / I’d watch you slowly lip back into my hands / Say goodbye to me in the beginning, and love me in the end.”
Swims spoke on the personal meaning of his new song: “‘Break Up in Reverse’ really hits home for me right now and where I am in my life. Upon writing this song and my next album, I’ve been going through it with my relationship with my baby’s mother coming to an end. With ‘Break Up in Reverse’ we were super inspired by an old Nas song called ‘Rewind.’ We loved how the whole song takes place in reverse. So we thought, how beautiful would it be if we took the same idea but wrote it about my relationship, with the punchline being ‘say goodbye to me in the beginning and love me in the end.’ I hope you feel as moved as I do every time I hear and sing this song!”
The “Break Up in Reverse” video brings the concept to life, opening on Swims standing in front of a pile of rubble. As he sings, a bulldozer moving in reverse reassembles the mess into a cozy room full of meaningful objects: photos, baby toys, puzzle pieces, and kintsugi pottery — broken ceramics whose cracks have been repaired with gold. In time, Swims finds peace.
“Break Up in Reverse” follows April’s “Mr. Know It All,” an instantly catchy and deceptively breezy single about the pain of romantic self-sabotage that, Rolling Stone raved, brought down the house at the 52nd Annual American Music Awards in May — watch HERE. That song officially signaled the start of a new era following an incredible breakout run that saw Swims become a universally beloved star, global hitmaker, and absolute force of nature on stage.
Last year was especially monumental for Swims, who wrapped a sold-out global tour, earned his second career GRAMMY® nod, and made history with his Diamond-certified smash “Lose Control,” which set the record for the longest-running Billboard Hot 100 song after spending 112 weeks on the chart (and it only left due to a rule meant to make room for others). In addition to topping the Hot 100 and five radio formats, the hit has surpassed 5 billion global streams.
Taking a much deserved victory lap, Swims also released his I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy (Complete Edition) in 2025. The definitive and dynamic 32-track collection unveiled the full vision behind his blockbuster two-part debut album, adding extra significance to a tracklist that traces his wild rise across a series of enduring singles from his record-breaking sets I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy (Part 1) and (Part 2). Among those: “Bad Dreams,” “Guilty,” “Are You Even Real” with GIVĒON, “The Door,” and, of course, “Lose Control.”
As he continues to unveil what looks to be his biggest, boldest, and brightest era yet, Swims is preparing for THE UGLY TOUR, which kicks off September 22 in Kansas City and wraps up in Los Angeles on November 18. Supporting artists include Natasha Bedingfield, Avery Anna, Wyatt Flores, St. Paul & The Broken Bones, Mac Ayres, Allen Stone, and MarcLo.
Stay tuned for so much more from Teddy Swims.

TOHO and GKIDS, the Academy Award®-winning curator, producer, and distributor that was acquired by TOHO in 2024, alongside Canadian distributor Cineplex Pictures, today released a new teaser and poster visual for GODZILLA MINUS ZERO. The new teaser offers a glimpse of familiar faces while debuting an all-new character, and the poster visual offers a fresh look at the King of the Monsters. In theatres November 6, 2026.
GODZILLA MINUS ZERO picks up in 1949, two years after the tumultuous events of Godzilla Minus One, and continues the story of the Shikishima family as they face an all-new calamity. As previously announced, Ryunosuke Kamiki returns as Koichi Shikishima, the hero who stood against Godzilla’s terror in Godzilla Minus One, and is joined by Minami Hamabe as Noriko Shikishima, who miraculously survived Godzilla’s first attack on Tokyo.
Revealed to be joining the film cast is legendary actor Min Tanaka, celebrated for his unforgettable performance in the 2025 blockbuster Japanese film Kokuho. In GODZILLA MINUS ZERO, Tanaka will take on the pivotal role of Kanji Murakami, a biologist carrying deep psychological scars from the war.

Hidetaka Yoshioka reprises his role as Kenji Noda, who fought alongside protagonist Koichi Shikishima in Godzilla Minus One and now battles the new threat as the director of the Disaster Response Bureau.

Furthermore, Sakura Ando reprises her role as Sumiko Ota, Shikishima’s neighbour who now runs a local orphanage, and Mio Tanaka returns as Tatsuo Hotta, the former captain of the destroyer Yukikaze.
Having survived the previous deadly struggle alongside Shikishima, these beloved characters stand ready to face Godzilla once again.
GODZILLA MINUS ZERO is the highly anticipated new film from Director Takashi Yamazaki, following his critically-acclaimed Godzilla Minus One. That landmark film is the highest recorded grossing Japan-produced Godzilla film, earning more than $116 million worldwide and winning
Best Visual Effects at the 96th Academy AwardsⓇ, becoming the first Asian film to take home the award. TOHO will release GODZILLA MINUS ZERO theatrically in Japan on Tuesday, November 3, with GKIDS set to launch a wide theatrical release across North America beginning Friday, November 6, 2026, and as previously announced, Cineplex Pictures will support GKIDS with the Canadian rollout. TOHO also announced today that GODZILLA MINUS ZERO will launch internationally that same week across Latin America, Europe, Asia, Middle East, Australia, and New Zealand. Exact release dates for individual territories will be announced separately.
The Japanese release date of November 3 holds a special significance in Godzilla’s storied legacy, marking the date of the original theatrical release of Godzilla in 1954. Now, 72 years after the birth of the iconic creature, and three years after the global success of Godzilla Minus One (released in Japan November 3, 2023), GODZILLA MINUS ZERO is set to continue the monster’s undeniable legacy, making its debut on Japan’s Godzilla Day 2026.
Shot entirely in Japan as the first-ever Japanese production to be Filmed For IMAX, GODZILLA MINUS ZERO was shot with high-definition digital cameras certified by IMAX, and optimized in sound and imagery unique to IMAX screens. The globally beloved monster returns to movie theatre screens reaching greater and more terrifying heights, making GODZILLA MINUS ZERO a true cinematic event not to be missed.
GODZILLA MINUS ZERO marks GKIDS’ second stewardship of a Godzilla franchise film from TOHO for North American release, following TOHO’s acquisition of GKIDS in 2024. Last year, GKIDS spearheaded a new 4K remaster and theatrical re-release of TOHO’s globally acclaimed Shin Godzilla, directed by Hideaki Anno and co-directed by Shinji Higuchi–creators of the cult-classic anime Neon Genesis Evangelion–introducing the landmark 2016 film to a new generation of audiences outside of Japan. Notably, Shin Godzilla held the record as the highest-grossing Japan-produced entry in the franchise for seven years, earning $78 million worldwide until it was surpassed by Godzilla Minus One in 2023.
GODZILLA MINUS ZERO SYNOPSIS:
War reduced Japan to zero, and Godzilla plunged it into minus. Two years have passed since then, and the country has faced agonizing struggles to achieve recovery and finally reclaim its daily life.
Just as humanity managed to cling to a hard-won peace, a new threat strikes, crushing hope in an instant.
There is no third time. Everything ends here.
GODZILLA MINUS ZERO sees Oscar-winning filmmaker Takashi Yamazaki return as Director, Screenwriter and VFX lead. The film is produced by Toho Studios and ROBOT, with VFX from SHIROGUMI Inc., the film is currently in production.
