Every week, The Press scan the TV offering to identify four titles to watch.




The surprise : LOL: who will laugh last?

The second season of LOL: who will laugh last?, this closed-door competition led by Patrick Huard, where 10 comedians must make others laugh without laughing themselves, starts with a bang: a first yellow card is given after 1 minute 49 seconds! In the second episode, a particularly fit Stéphane Rousseau, decked out in a costume which will lead to the early elimination of a competitor, delivers a number of stand-up deliciously silly thanks to which – new this year – he will win an immunity hat. The departure is less conclusive for Roxane Bruneau and Tai TL, a star of social networks, who seem rather faded alongside Mariana Mazza, Pier-Luc Funk, Rosalie Vaillancourt and company.

The return : Food shots

Sébastien Benoit hosts Food shots in Zest.

Our favorite pun show begins its 10the season, and although he has welcomed 135 guests and visited 540 restaurants since 2015, Sébastien Benoit carries out his gourmet trips with as much enthusiasm as a hungry person at Pacini’s bread bar. Directed by Olivier Tétreault and produced by Déferlantes, this new collection of episodes presents us with the good gastronomic addresses of personalities like Geneviève Guilbault, France D’Amour and Chantal Fontaine. This week, we discover Nathalie Simard’s favorite places. On the menu: a questionable gibelotte recipe with slices of Kraft Singles cheese, puns, lots of “I love you” and a few alcoholic slip-ups at chef Jean-Michel Leblond’s Kabinet.

The essential: Killers of the Flower Moon

Lily Gladstone and Leonardo DiCaprio in Killers of the Flower Moon

With the gala season in full swing, the arrival online of Martin Scorsese’s latest feature film comes at just the right time, especially for those who did not have the courage to go and enjoy it in theaters due to a slight detail: its duration of 3 h 26 min. Revealing a part of American history that we ignored (the tragic destiny of the Osage people, in Oklahoma, at the beginning of the 20the century), this captivating western starring Leonardo DiCaprio (brilliant, as always) and Lily Gladstone (very accurate) deals with issues that still resonate very strongly, 100 years later: systemic racism, the patriarchal system, corruption and greed. And yes, we would have taken more.

After dropping the Gala Québec Cinéma, Radio-Canada announced that it was preparing a program dedicated to Quebec films in the works. Produced by France Beaudoin, this special program is finally on the air. For 90 minutes, Karine Vanasse visits the film sets of the feature films which will be released in theaters in 2024, including 1995 by Ricardo Trogi and Mshe Ankle bootinspired by Bach and Bottine, which stars Antoine Bertrand and Marguerite Laurence. The actress turns out to be a good interviewer. We feel that she is really interested in local cinema, and her enthusiasm is contagious. She even reveals a first: the identity of the actresses who will play in Two women in goldthe new version that Chloé Robichaud will soon shoot.
