MADDIE’S SECRET marks a bold new voice in contemporary cinema as the feature film debut of acclaimed comedian and actor John Early (Search Party, Eternity, The Comeback). Written, directed and produced by Early, the film is a pitch-perfect blend of satire and melodrama, about a plucky dishwasher (John Early) who leaps to viral superstardom at a trendy food content creation company. While her life seems picturesque, complete with an adoring husband (Eric Rahill), ride-or-die best friend (Kate Berlant) and a cupboard full of woman-owned ethically-sourced chili crisp to boot — mounting professional pressures threaten to reawaken a hidden secret from her troubled past.

Legendary Actor and Writer Molly Ringwald made an appearance in Toronto last night as part of Toronto Public Library’s Salon Series. She moderated a conversation with JUDY BLUME, A LIFE Author Mark Oppenheimer in an hour-long chat followed by a book signing. The two reflected upon the iconic Author known best for her timeless children’s and young adult novels, of which Ringwald proudly is an avid fan. She also happened the narrate the Audiobook for Oppenheimer‘s authorized Biography.

We learned so much about Blume‘s trailblazing career and life, including her relationships, her fight against censorship, and how today she spends much of her time operating her bookshop in Key West with her husband. Blume was fearless in approaching subject matter many kids were and still are afraid to talk about with their parents growing-up, in effect a figurative “mother” to multiple generations.

Ringwald needs little introduction. Her body of work speaks for itself having delivered us some timeless performances, whether you know her from John Hughes’ incredible Brat Pack films, or even some of Ryan Murphy‘s more recent anthology series. Hearing her speak about something that meant so much to her, and meeting her quickly, meant so much to me!

Some highlights. And yes, I called her “My Judy Blume” because she truly is!

Hollywood Suite is checking audiences back into Hell Motel, announcing a second season that transforms the limited series into an anthology. Currently in production, the instalment titled Hell Motel: Murder at Red Mountain marks the latest chapter from Slasher series creators Aaron Martin and Ian Carpenter. The new season will air on Hollywood Suite and be available On Demand in Canada, and on Shudder and AMC+ in the US.

Set at a mountain resort known for eliminating people’s inhibitions and amplifying their desires, Hell Motel: Murder at Red Mountain continues to reveal the chilling consequences of surrendering to our darkest impulses amidst the unique Cold River landscape. As guests and staff go missing without explanation and violent incidents increase, it becomes clear that Red Mountain has a long, horrific history for a reason—and that no one is safe. 

Canadian actor Devon Sawa (Idle Hands, Final Destination, Casper, TV’s Chucky) stars as Patrick, a man with a thirst for alternative facts and theories who comes to the resort to look into historic mysteries tied to Red Mountain. Further casting is yet to be announced.

“When we were handed the keys for another stay at Hell Motel with Aaron Martin and Ian Carpenter, we checked in immediately,” said Sharon Stevens, Vice President of Programming, Hollywood Suite. “We’re always excited to bring high-quality, Canadian-made storytelling to our screens. Plus, it’s a real bonus to have Canadian fan-favourite Devon Sawa join the cast for this season.”

“I was already a huge fan of Hell Motel. So joining season two, in Canada no less, felt like an honour,” said Devon Sawa. “The amazing people at Shaftesbury assembled an incredible team of creatives. Thank you to them, Hollywood Suite, AMC, and of course, to all my friends over at Shudder.” 

“The first season established Hell Motel as a standout series with strong potential for new stories and directions, so evolving it into an anthology felt like a natural next step,” said Christina Jennings, Chairman and President, Shaftesbury. “We’re proud to continue building this franchise with such strong creative partners at every level.”

Hell Motel: Murder at Red Mountain is a Shudder Original Series, developed and produced by Shaftesbury, in association with Hollywood Suite, with the financial participation of Ontario Creates and the Canadian Film or Video Production Tax Credit. The series is created and executive-produced by showrunners Martin and Carpenter. Additional executive producers include Christina Jennings, Scott Garvie, and Adam MacDonald, who also directs. AMC Global Media holds distribution rights.

Toronto’s iconic THE DRAKE HOTEL is ready to unveil their newly renovated Sky Yard.

Designed for long summer nights and golden-hour hangs that feel like the good old days, Sky Yard returns this season with a newly renovated rooftop transformed into a modern lounge in the sky.

The Drake presents a bold, BBQ-forward new menu featuring smoky bites from the charcoal grill, fresh raw bar offerings, tequila- and rum-forward cocktails, and an atmosphere that feels distinctly Drake.

When golden hour hits, the charcoal grill’s fired up, bold sharing plates hit the table, and drinks follow close behind. Evenings ease into DJ sets and a relaxed rooftop rhythm. From sun-soaked weekend brunch to monthly guest chef BBQ takeovers, there’s always something on at Sky Yard.

The Sky Yard BBQ menu balances charcoal-grilled favourites alongside fresh, vibrant raw plates. We’re serving ceviches and aguachiles with bite, grilled meats with depth, and veg-forward sides for sharing (or not). Our cocktail list leans bright and refreshing, with tequila and rum leading the way, alongside zero-proof and low-ABV options that hold their own from day to night.

Book a table now here.

Patio season has arrived at 4x Michelin-recommended GEORGE in Toronto! Tucked behind the dining room, GEORGE’s enclosed courtyard has always been one of those spots locals know about and visitors stumble onto by accident. This season it officially opens for the summer — last week of May, or sooner if the weather cooperates.

It’s the kind of patio that actually earns the name: creeping ivy, a quiet water feature, sunshades and fans so it stays comfortable past sunset. The full GEORGE menu is available outside, plus a dedicated aperitivo program — shareable plates and cocktails designed for the kind of evening where nobody’s in a rush.

Capacity at George:

Regular dining – 52 covers
Seated dinner  – 60 private events
Cocktail reception – 100 standing
