Press Conference: Just Mercy
updated
Rumours is ribald, playful, and an expansion of the Maddin-Johnson-Johnson oeuvre. The trademark oddities, like a glowing brain and bog people, are there; there’s a brief foray into black and white; and it was partly filmed in Winnipeg.
Co-produced by Ari Aster among others, it was also filmed in Hungary, with a stand-out international cast. Cate Blanchett is German chancellor Hilda, the host of the gathering; Roy Dupuis is the passionate Canadian prime minister; UK Prime Minister Cardosa Dewindt (Nikki Amuka-Bird) doggedly tries to keep this ragtag group on task, and, inexplicably, English actor Charles Dance keeps his accent as the president of the United States.
The G7 leaders are so lost in working on a provisional statement filled with platitudes and nonsense and addressing an unnamed crisis, that they don’t realize they’ve been abandoned by their servers. It’s only then, when the cameras and aides have left, that things really go off the rails and each of their shortcomings comes glaringly into focus.

SATURDAY NIGHT dives headfirst into the frenzied hour-and-a-half before a clutch of unknown, untrained, unruly young comedians took over network television and transformed the culture. Saturday Night Live would go on to become the late-night institution that brought John Belushi, Dan Aykroyd, and later Eddie Murphy, Tina Fey, Will Ferrell, and others to our screens. But tonight, it’s barely contained madness backstage, with Canadian Lorne Michaels (Gabriel LaBelle, The Fabelmans, TIFF ’22) desperately trying to channel the chaos towards a vision even he’s not sure of.
On the eve of SNL’s 50th anniversary, it’s a particular pleasure to watch how unlikely it all was at the beginning. Chevy Chase honing the frat boy charm that would make him a movie star. Garrett Morris saying America’s racial quiet part out loud. Belushi a bundle of Id in the corner. Jane Curtin, Laraine Newman, and Gilda Radner holding their own against a tide of comedy testosterone.
Director Jason Reitman (Juno, Up in the Air, Ghostbusters: Afterlife) has made certified classics, but he’s never made a film like this. Fuelled by the same anarchic energy that drove the show to air, he orchestrates this tour de force as a glorious circus of talent, ambition, and appetite for risk, with the clock ticking down to showtime.

The duo’s growing fanbase connected with one another over various online forums and platforms like LiveJournal, sharing concert videos and stories of meeting Tegan in particular, who spent the most time chatting with fans and signing merchandise. Around 2010, social media profiles claiming to be Tegan started popping up. An anonymous, catfishing person — eventually known as Fegan, a portmanteau of “fake” and “Tegan” — connected with people in the fan community, forming friendships, online romances, sharing personal information of Tegan’s and fabricating stories of her bad behaviour.
More than just a portrait of Tegan and Sara’s global ascent and their influence and advocacy in the music industry, Erin Lee Carr’s film FANATICAL: THE CATFISHING OF TEGAN AND SARA charts the evolution of social media’s impact on fame and fandom through the duo’s years-long victimization and harassment at the hands of this “fan.” It’s a must-see for those familiar with the duo’s music and a cautionary tale for everyone about the dangers of parasocial relationships and the vulnerability of our personal information on the internet.
