Too Opinionated Interview: Katelyn McCulloch
2025 marks a breakthrough year for Canadian comedy powerhouse Katelyn McCulloch, whose fearless approach to female-driven comedy has already earned her two Canadian Screen Award nominations and international acclaim. Now, she’s capping it off with two major milestones: the highly anticipated season two premiere of her Bell Fibe TV1 hit Everybody’s Meg on November 13th, and the return of Shenanigans on November 27th in Halifax at the Cineplex Park Lane (5657 Spring Garden Rd); a bold, joy-filled celebration of funny, feel-good, and female-driven film and television. With Everybody’s Meg, the Halifax-born creator has struck a rare chord with audiences: a comedy that’s sharp, heartfelt, and unafraid to lean into the messy, awkward truths of millennial life. As the founder of Hey Old Friend Productions, Katelyn has made it her mission to amplify women in comedy on and off stage. That mission comes to life with Shenanigans, the one-of-a-kind comedy showcase and screening series she launched in 2024. Unlike traditional festivals, Shenanigans is more than a screening, it’s a community celebration of female-driven comedy, wrapped in glamour, joy, and connection. On screen, her credits include Law & Order Toronto, Pretty Hard Cases, Hudson & Rex, Roll With It, Avocado Toast, and leading roles in films such as Meet the Killer Parents, Bystanders, and many more. Looking ahead, Katelyn is developing multiple half-hour comedy series, including one with Fiasco Global Media, preparing her first feature film, and making a return to the stage in 2026 as Margaret Cavendish in MAD MADGE at Neptune Theatre.

Too Opinionated Interview: Reagan Elkins
Intellego Media proudly announces the VOD release of FRAGILÉ, a new documentary from filmmaker Reagan Elkins, debuting November 7th. Set in a small Oklahoma town with a big dream, FRAGILÉ follows one man’s outrageous (yet oddly inspiring) mission to revitalize his community by building a 50-foot-tall leg lamp in the middle of Main Street. What begins as a lighthearted bid to boost tourism quickly ignites controversy, turning the town into an unlikely battleground of art, identity, and small-town politics. From fiery city council meetings to viral headlines, accusations of objectification to a cease-and-desist letter from Warner Bros., FRAGILÉ captures the chaos, comedy, and community spirit that arise when good intentions meet cultural flashpoints. “FRAGILÉ is about more than a lamp. It’s about what happens when creativity and conflict collide in America’s heartland,” says director Reagan Elkins. “It’s a story that’s both absurd and deeply human. You’ll laugh, you’ll cringe, and you might even see your own hometown in the reflection.” A sharp and entertaining look at how one quirky idea can divide and unite a community all at once, FRAGILÉ illuminates the delicate balance between progress and tradition with humor and heart.

It has been nearly two years since the anti-monster riots. The inhabitants of Moon have been very fortunate in the intervening months. Inside their hidden monster settlement, they’ve found peace, even as the world outside slips into increasing unrest. Monsters are being hunted everywhere, forced back into the shadows they once tried to escape from. Other secret settlements have offered a place to hide, but how long can this half-measure against fear and hatred last? Over the course of three days, the inhabitants of Moon are tested. The Black Hand continues to search for them and the Cult of the Zsouvox wants to make Moon the last stand in their war against the Order of Asha. This is more than enough to reckon with, but the gods have also placed their sights on Moon—and they bring with them a conflict that may either save or unravel the universe itself.

Too Opinionated Interview: Sarah McCarthy
Born in South Africa during Apartheid, Sarah was dismayed when she first traveled to the United States on a family holiday as a young girl in early 1980s. There, she witnessed her beloved country embroiled in such tumultuous turmoil on TV, she believed she wasn’t able to return home. It was her first lesson in media distortion, and the danger of trusting a single narrative. Twenty-three years ago this week, Jeffrey Epstein arrived in Cape Town with Bill Clinton, Kevin Spacey, and Chris Tucker in tow. That same night, 20-year-old Juliette Bryant was lured into what would become one of the most harrowing and revealing chapters in the Epstein saga. Now, for the first time, her story is being told in her own words—through the diary she kept at the height of her captivity. In Blue Butterfly: Inside the Diary of an Epstein Survivor, author Sarah McCarthy—Juliette’s close personal friend—brings Bryant’s unfiltered voice to light, exposing not just Epstein’s trafficking machine but the darker, lesser-known medical and psychological abuses he carried out on his victims. The book is now available for pre-order at TrineDay.com, ahead of its November 18 release. Unlike previous accounts that focus solely on Epstein’s trafficking ring, Blue Butterfly reveals his obsession with eugenics, artificial intelligence, cloning, and transhumanism—and how he used victims like Juliette as unwitting participants in his schemes.

Too Opinionated Interview: Ben Immanuel
Are We Done Now?, the third award-winning feature film from actor/writer/director Ben Immanuel, will be released on VOD on September 30th and make U.S. Premiere at the SOHO International Film Festival, which runs Oct 7-14 in New York City. The film won the Audience Award for "Most Popular Canadian Feature Film" at its Canadian Premiere at the Available Light Film Festival. Shot between 2020 and 2024, Immanuel brings to the screen a profoundly relatable story following Pamela, a therapist (played by Gabrielle Miller of Corner Gas and Unspeakable: The Murder of JonBenét Ramsey), and her diverse young clients as they participate in a (fictionalized) documentary exploring the impact of the COVID-19 lockdown on their mental health. Through this experience, they—and the filmmaker—gain unexpected self-insight, leading to a deeper understanding of their identities and roles in our transformed world. As a writer/director/producer, Ben has helmed 2 award-winning, theatrically released feature films: Down River (9 wins and 12 nominations) and Moving Malcolm (4 wins and 1 nomination). Gabrielle Miller is one of Canada's most celebrated performers. A professional actor for over two decades, she is widely recognized for her lead roles on two of Canada's most successful series: the runaway hit CTV series Corner Gas (6 seasons), which inspired a feature film in 2014, as well as an animated series, and the critically acclaimed series Robson Arms (3 seasons). Along with her recurring role on Call Me Fitz, opposite Jason Priestley, Gabrielle has also recurred on Hallmark's Good Witch, and guest-starred on CBS's Person of Interest, ABC's Once Upon a Time, and Showtime's popular series Lost Girl.

Too Opinionated Interview: Lily Lane
Genre-blending pop-soul artist Lily Lane makes her much-anticipated return with “Reciprocation.” Blending vintage soul textures, razor-sharp pop sensibilities, and raw, confessional lyricism, “Reciprocation” stands as a bold new chapter in her ever-growing body of work and a can’t-miss release from one of music’s most exciting rising voices. A Boston native now splitting her time between New York and Los Angeles, Lily first broke out as a teen on national tours, opening for Big Time Rush (selling out the House of Blues in her hometown) and Cody Simpson, while quickly finding herself in the orbit of the 2010s pop elite. After graduating with honors from the Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music at NYU, Lily signed with Wilhelmina Models, came out as bisexual, and emerged as a bold voice for body positivity, female empowerment, and LGBT+ representation. Music runs in the family. Lily’s older brother, Tucker Halpern, is one half of the Grammy-nominated electronic duo SOFI TUKKER. Like her brother, her music has earned many sync placements across major platforms, including Netflix, HBO Max, Peacock, and Bravo, bringing her soulful, cinematic sound to screens across the country. Lilly's sophomore EP Queen of Hearts dropped in Fall 2022 and her third EP, Love, Lily Lane, arrived in Fall 2024 as a genre-spanning concept record written during her engagement and released in the lead-up to her wedding. Its lead single, “I Do,” is a soul-infused acoustic love song praised by top bridal blogs as a perfect first-dance track. Now, with “Reciprocation” serving as an auspicious preview into her next chapter, including her upcoming EP, Domesticated, with her signature blend of powerhouse vocals, confessional songwriting, and stylized visuals, Lily Lane’s not just dropping songs. She’s setting the scene. Want to watch: YouTube Meisterkhan Pod (Please Subscribe)
