The Champagne Room has been pulling an enviable guest list lately: queer punk cinema icon Bruce LaBruce, actor Jay Baruchel with his wife, designer Rebecca-Jo Dunham Baruchel, and award-winning author Téa Mutonji have all taken a seat, with DJ baddie Miss Bashful among the names still to come!
This week the chair goes to Canadian filmmaker Blake Mawson, who came ready to talk horror, queerness, and the pole and wig he worked long before any festival came calling.
What do strippers and independent filmmaking have in common? Both come down to protecting your autonomy and a healthy distaste for censorship. Oh, and he calls his mom mid-taping to get his birth time so the hosts can pull his big 3! 🤩 Check out the latest episode of The Champagne Room above!
Interior Motives brought Hamzah & Martin from Slushy Noobz onto the show for a full Canadian Edition, and the hosts are doing what they always do: staring at someone’s bedroom and fridge photos and trying to guess their whole life from them. Check it out above!
Someone made Pokémon Go but for cats you encounter on the street! CatchCat is a free app that launched in June 2026 and lets you photograph a real cat you spot in the wild, and then turns it into a collectible trading card complete with a generated name, rarity level, and stats.
A neighborhood tabby becomes a Rare. A particularly imperious-looking Persian becomes a Legendary, and so on!
There are approximately a million games about catching fictional creatures and zero (until now) about cataloguing the actual kitties that live behind your local dumpster.
A brand-spankin’ new teaser for The Champagne Room, from the behind Str*pper News (one of the planet’s last-remaining trustworthy news-sources) introduces the upcoming interview series as “the hottest club on the internet,” and is launching next week! With red curtains, coy glances, champagne and big grins, the trailer feels like stepping behind the velvet rope…
Stylish, cheeky, and built around the idea that anyone might have a story worth hearing, the show promises weekly interviews with unexpected guests: Artists, actors, celebrity guests, activists, neighbours, dads, and everyday characters! This feels like more of a late-night hangout than traditional talk show, which we LOVE.

These two friends step the poppers experience into the unexpected with a field trip to Olive Garden! (You better believe Madonna’s gonna post herself doing this next week.)
Remember when being somebody meant letting a stranger paint a white moustache on your face and calling it “health” instead of “humiliation”? The 90s and 2000s were just celebrities lining up to pose with cow juice like it was a luxury skincare line. Your fave probably has gotten milked. The gallery is basically a Who’s Who of “sure, I’ll do dairy propaganda for a cheque”: pop girls, athletes, sitcom dads, that one serious actor who absolutely fired their publicist five years later.
Check out a gallery of all the milky times after the jump! Who was your fave?
