 JULY 7 – Crave Original THE DESSERT *Series Premiere*
  • THE KIDS IN THE HALL’s Bruce McCulloch presents the new Crave Original comedy series THE DESSERT. All six episodes written by and co-starring Shane Cunningham (Mike on Much), comedian Jillian Smart, and Isabella Campbell debut Friday, July 7.

JULY 7 – RICEBOY SLEEPS *Movie Premiere*
  • Winner of the Best Canadian Film Award at the Toronto Film Critics Association Awards, Best Original Screenplay at the 2023 Canadian Screen Awards, and the TIFF 2022 Platform Prize, RICEBOY SLEEPS drops on Friday, July 7. After losing her husband, So-young (Choi Seung-yoon) relocates to Canada in the 1990s with their young son, Dong-hyun (Dohyun Noel Hwang as a child, Ethan Hwang as a teenager) in tow. There, they must fight for acceptance and respect. Dong-hyun is brutally bullied by his classmates, and he isn’t helped by the timid, distinctly Canadian racism of his teacher and principal, who consider the family “troublesome.” At work, So-young battles loneliness, and racist and sexist comments. As they negotiate with their separate circumstances, the rift between mother and son grows. Unwelcome news sparks an unplanned return to South Korea,and the in-laws So-young hasn’t spoken to in many years, but the reunion might open up the possibility of mutual understanding.
 JULY 7 – HALLOWEEN ENDS *Movie Premiere*
  • Academy Award® winner and horror icon Jamie Lee Curtis returns to the role that lauched her career, Laurie Strode, in HALLOWEEN ENDS, streaming Thursday July 8. After 45 years, the most acclaimed, revered horror franchise in film history reaches its epic, terrifying conclusion as Laurie faces off for the last time against the embodiment of evil, Michael Myers, in a final confrontation unlike any captured on-screen before. Only one of them will survive.
 JULY 9 – HBO’s LAST CALL: WHEN A SERIAL KILLER STALKED QUEER NEW YORK *Docuseries Premiere*
  • In the early 1990s, with homophobia and hate crimes on the rise as the AIDS crisis worsens, a serial killer preys upon gay men in New York City, infiltrating queer nightlife to find his victims. A gripping, investigative crime story, LAST CALL: WHEN A SERIAL KILLER STALKED QUEER NEW YORK dives deeply into the prejudices and attitudes of the times, when deep-rooted biases in the criminal justice system and the media’s distorted public perception of the victims undermined the investigation and enabled a brutal killer to prey on a marginalized populace. Episode 1 of the HBO docuseries streams Sunday, July 9 at 9 p.m. ET, with subsequent episodes streaming Sundays at 9 p.m. ET.
