What to watch this weekend: Canadian horror for Friday the 13th – and the high and low bars for FUBAR on Netflix
Hell Motel, Hollywood Suite On Demand On Friday the 13th comes the first episode of this new Canadian horror whodunit from the creators of the anthology series Slasher (Aaron Martin and Ian Carpenter). A group of true-crime influencers attend the opening weekend of a resort built on the site of a diabolic slaughter 30 years earlier, and you'll be unsurprised to learn that they start to be knocked off one at a time next. Paula Brancati – of Degrassi: The Next Generation and also one of many Slasher alums in the cast – stars as a scream queen aging out of 'crying and dying' roles, while Will & Grace's Eric McCormack hams it up as a TV chef who serves up vegan dishes shaped like severed body parts. Stage greats Yanna McIntosh and Gray Powell play a couple of RV-ing normies who get stranded at the motel during a hurricane. It's solid self-aware Canadian genre TV that doesn't pretend to be anything more that a bloody good time. Though it premieres Friday, new episodes stream Tuesdays. ROMCON: Who the F**k is Jason Porter?, Prime Video More Canadian horror streaming as of Friday the 13th: This two-part doc follows up on the true-crime tale of a Toronto-area romance scammer some may remember from a 2022 Toronto Life feature (by Jane Gerster, who makes an appearance). The man sometimes known as Jason Porter finally met his match in a real estate broker named Heather – who he moved in with during the pandemic, and who persisted until charges were laid once she figured out his scam. I admire the bravery of the many women who speak out on camera about their experience being love-bombed followed by a disturbing mix of gaslighting, fraud and theft. 'You don't want to be known as the woman who got fooled by a con man,' says one. Director Henry Roosevelt keeps things light-ish in this doc being sold as 'the dark side of dating in one of North America's largest cities,' but in the margins is sad commentary of how police can brush off 'domestic' crimes and the glacial pace of the Ontario criminal justice system. Bottoms, Crave When this subversive spin on the teen-sex comedy from Toronto-born filmmaker Emma Seligman was released in cinemas in 2023, The Globe and Mail's Barry Hertz described it as Fight Club meets But I'm a Cheerleader meets Wet Hot American Summer. After a run-in with the football team, lesbian virgin besties PJ (Rachel Sennott) and Josie (Ayo Edebiri) start a feminist self-defence club in order to attract their cheerleader crushes, and the proceedings only get more satirical and surreal from there. 'While Bottoms' final leg dips ever so slightly into genuine emotion – forgetting its detached, ironic cool – Seligman's concoction is delightfully strange and unabashedly, proudly queer,' wrote Hertz in his Critic's Pick review. The film lands on Crave on June 13. FUBAR, Netflix Arnold Schwarzenegger's action-comedy series is back for a second season, with creator Nick Santora having upped neither his action nor his comedy game since the show's first batch of episodes two years ago. The former Governator and Monica Barbaro (seen in the interim as Joan Baez in A Complete Unknown) return as father and daughter CIA operatives Luke and Emma Brunner – their cover blown and now living in an overcrowded house in an undisclosed location with family members, exes and fellow spies. Mostly shot in Ontario, FUBAR's cup runneth over with Canucks from Jay Baruchel to Enrico Colantoni, but only Burnaby, B.C.'s Carrie-Anne Moss, a new addition this season as a former East German spy, manages to elicit so much as a smile from a script crammed with leaden exposition and wan one-liners. So, why am I including it on the list this week, you may ask … FUBAR, Netflix (and CBC Gem and Crave with Starz) … because FUBAR the series is just the latest Hollywood product to unconscionably muddy the search results of an earlier, superior Canadian screen classic by using the same title (see: Paul Haggis's Crash versus David Cronenberg's; Aaron Sorkin's The Newsroom vs. Ken Finkleman's). It's my duty as a patriotic watcher then to remind viewers of Michael Dowse's cult 2002 mockumentary, FUBAR – in which Edmonton metalhead misadventurers Terry (David Lawrence ) and Dean (Paul Spence) have their beer-shotgunning bromance complicated by a diagnosis of testicular cancer. In 2023, Globe film critic Barry Hertz deemed it the eighth best comedy ever produced in this country: 'a high-beer mark of Canadian comedy, as committed to its central bit as it is sincere in its love for its 'just give'r' heroes.' The film is leaving Netflix on June 30, but both FUBAR and FUBAR 2 (2010) are also on CBC Gem and Crave with Starz. The short-lived TV series FUBAR Age of Computer (2017) is, alas, only available for rent or purchase at the moment as far as I can tell.

Elon Musk 直播玩《流亡黯道2 PoE2》專家模式狂死！第一章教學BOSS都打不過被吐槽
《流亡黯道2 PoE2》（Path of Exile 2）上週迎來首個大改版「狩獵黎明」，卻因為平衡問題遭到大量玩家批評，官方也承諾會進行調整。不過光是 Steam 版就仍有超過 20 多萬人回歸，甚至特斯拉執行長 伊隆馬斯克（Elon Musk）也在第一時間開實況玩專家模式，卻因為玩的像是新手一樣，不斷重複死亡開新角色，甚至連開頭的第一隻教學 BOSS 都打不過，遭到許多網友吐槽。 相關新聞：《流亡黯道2：狩獵黎明》改版技能大削弱、拖慢遊戲節奏還會閃退引玩家大量批評 相關新聞：《PoE2》新職業女獵人來了！上線時間、賽季、更新內容一次看 馬斯克並非第一次玩《流亡黯道2》，先前就曾開過直播打 BOSS，並且有專業的人指導他配裝和使用技能。甚至在今年 1 月時，於專家模式下練出一隻 97 等的角色 Percy_Verence，登上世界排名第 7 的成績，直到角色死亡。不過馬斯克對於角色技能的使用、裝備和通貨的無視，都讓人懷疑他是通過代練完成。另一個被認為的證據，是美國總統川普任職典禮上，馬斯克現場出席，卻被發現他帳號下的角色仍然在線上，還會換圖。 而這次趁著大型改版《流亡黯道2》，馬斯克也久違的開啟實況遊玩，他在私人飛機上使用星鏈網路進行遊玩，玩的則是專家模式。然而整場實況中，馬斯克一直卡在第一章死亡，只能重開換不同職業，甚至有幾場連開頭的新手 BOSS 都打不過，直接拉著 BOSS 繞了整個地圖，被吐槽這樣玩只會更加證明自己是代練。 雖然《流亡黯道2》新改版後難度確實有增加，部分人認為在第一章的各種死亡很正常。但網友們還發現馬斯克在遊戲中根本不了解各個職業的特性，甚至技能流派都是隨意亂點，因此也有出現過傷害打不出來，直接重開一個職業的情況。後來才穩定玩閃電箭流派的弓箭手，順利推劇情到第二章，不過還是在打 BOSS，因為站著不躲招而死掉。 Elon top 10 world ranked poe player Musk is so awful he dies standing still spamming lightning rod and it's only the second most pathetic thing in the clip next to chat — Rod Breslau (@Slasher) April 6, 2025 而在馬斯克實況期間，除了改版後第一次實況死到直接關閉不玩以外，可以看到他的聊天頻道不斷有人密語開嗆特斯拉股價、代練、假玩家等爭議，而馬斯克也沒什麼反應的一個一個封鎖，甚至還封鎖了一個要大家多買特斯拉股價的玩家。 Elon Musk just rage quit his twitter stream after repeatedly dying to a tutorial boss in the new PoE2 patch on hardcore. — DevinDTV (@DevinDtv) April 5, 2025 Elon Musk streaming POE 2 on his private plane while listening to 'The Final Countdown' and everyone in the in-game chat is whispering him to off himself. — Regulator Nemo Nusquam (@SonofBaba_Yaga) April 6, 2025 緊貼最新科技資訊、網購優惠，追隨 Yahoo Tech 各大社交平台！ 🎉📱 Tech Facebook： 🎉📱 Tech Instagram： 🎉📱 Tech WhatsApp 社群： 🎉📱 Tech WhatsApp 頻道： 🎉📱 Tech Telegram 頻道：
