Amber Dowling It all started in 1988 with an obsession: Canadian comic Carolyn Taylor, now known as one of the stars and co-creators of “Baroness Von Sketch Show,” was a “closeted 15-year-old” watching Olympic figure skating in her aunt’s living room. She recalls Katarina Witt performing a free skate to “Carmen” in an iconic red costume. At the very end, Witt performatively lay down on the ice — and Taylor just wanted to lie next to her.
“It was one of those foundational moments,” Taylor tells Variety. “But then I went on with my life, and didn’t pursue skating or Olympics in any capacity.” Fast forward to 2016. Taylor was driving in the car with her girlfriend when Whitney Houston’s 1992 song “I Have Nothing” came on the radio. “It was as if I had heard it for the first time,” she recalls.
She had a vision of “a professional pairs, gold medalist skating routine,” Taylor says. “And I was the one who was going to choreograph it.” A version of that dream comes true when the aptly named “I Have Nothing” makes its debut Sept. 23 on Bell Media’s streaming service, Crave.
The six-episode docuseries follows the comedian as she learns to skate, recruits gold-medalist skaters, choreographs and attempts to clear song rights to put on the performance that until now has lived in her head. She does so with the help of her friend Mae Martin, and key skating professionals, including Sandra Bezic, David Pelletier, Ekaterina Gordeeva, Kurt Browning, Paul Martini, Barbara Underhill and Kristi Yamaguchi. The series was officially born from one of Taylor’s stand-up routines, in which she would act out the choreography and play the song on stage.

Jordan Moreau SPOILER ALERT: This article contains minor spoilers for “The Exorcist: Believer,” now playing in theaters. Released 50 years after the original “Exorcist,” Universal and Blumhouse’s follow-up, “The Exorcist: Believer,” pays homage to the horror masterpiece in some grotesque ways. Just like the original, there’s vomit, head-spinning and not one, but two demonic possessions. “Exorcist: Believer” follows a pair of girls who go missing in the woods and return three days later under a supernatural influence.
Daniel D'Addario Chief TV Critic Some 25 years ago, Todd Solondz had a hot hand, and he knew it. His film breakthrough, “Welcome to the Dollhouse,” was a Sundance sensation and a surprise hit — surprising, in part, because of its scabrous and brilliantly profane view of life among the petty thugs known as middle-schoolers. So he set out next to write a script as close to unproduceable as he could.
Woody Harrelson, Andy Serkis, and Derry Girls star Louisa Harland have signed on to star in Ulster American, a new stage production from Irish playwright David Ireland (Cyprus Avenue) and directed by Jeremy Herrin (A Mirror, Best of Enemies).

William Earl Horror Film School is a new feature in which talent in front of and behind the camera share the ins and outs of creating the biggest onscreen scares. Creative duo Lee Roy Kunz and Cru Ennis wrote and directed the religious indie horror film “Deliver Us,” which was just released in select theaters and VOD. The story — a nun mysteriously gets pregnant with twins and is investigated by a representative of the Vatican (played by Kunz), worried that one will be the Messiah and one will be the Antichrist — sounds like it would touch on many of the same ideas as other films released this year, such as “The Pope’s Exorcist” and the upcoming “The Exorcist: Believer.” But the visually-stirring work relies on impressive sets, creative camerawork, dynamic lighting and an appreciation for Biblical images in order to maintain a constant sense of fear and unease.

Lukas Gage has racked up a bunch of buzzy roles in film and TV recently, including “The White Lotus,” “You,” and “How To Blow Up A Pipeline.” But his next project to hit theaters is partially his own: a sex comedy he stars in and co-writes that premiered at SXSW earlier this year. “Down Low” features Gage as a sex worker who’s determined to give a Zachary Quinto‘s recent divorcée exactly what he needs to kick off the newly single life, whether that deeply repressed guys want it or not.
