A new biography of Canadian comedy legend John Candy delves into the private battles he faced away from the cameras.

According to close friend and fellow "SCTV" alum Dave Thomas, those darker dimensions are a key reason Candy stirred such strong affection from fans and critics alike, allowing him to transcend even schlocky scripts that dot his resume.

It's among the insights Toronto-born author Paul Myers posits in "John Candy: A Life in Comedy," which Myers said is his attempt to dissect the creative drive that led to indelible Candy performances in films including "Splash," "Uncle Buck" and "Planes, Trains and Automobiles."

On May 15, Gen Z director Curry Barker's "Obsession" hit theaters. The psychological horror film follows a young man whose wish for his longtime crush to love him comes true in far more intense and unsettling ways than he had hoped.

The film was an instant box office phenomenon, grossing over $285 million worldwide despite its humble $750,000 budget. Its popularity is driven largely by Gen Z viewers; audience data shows roughly 75% of ticket buyers are ages 18-34.

Dubbed a "Gen Z Fatal Attraction," the mainstream take is that the movie resonates because it warns against toxic "nice guy" dynamics. In Zoomer internet culture, "nice guys" are men who believe they deserve romantic interest simply because they're polite and friendly. When rejected, they grow resentful and angry, convinced they're entitled to a woman's affection. Their niceness is viewed as a manipulative tactic rather than an offer of genuine friendship.

I watched a Netflix miniseries called I Will Find You. It was damn good. Eight episodes you cannot stop watching until the end.
