    Lainey chats with #ColinFarrell all about #ThirteenLives, the biographical survival film directed and produced by Ron Howard, chronicling the events of the 2018 Tham Luang cave rescue that saw a junior football team and their coach trapped in a cave for a period of 18 days. The Prime Video movie also stars Viggo Mortensen, Joel Edgerton, and Tom Bateman. Colin explains how someone who doesn’t know how to swim, like him, ended up in this role, how he came to enjoy running since playing the part of John Volanthen, and his experience with the Thai people while filming. Plus, how he didn’t want to make the Thai rescue tale another white savior story.

    Anchored by Tyrone Edwards, senior correspondents Lainey Lui and Traci Melchor, reporters Chloe Wilde and Sonia Mangat, and L.A. correspondent Liz Trinnear, Etalk is Canada’s #1 daily entertainment show, shining a spotlight on home-grown television, film, fashion, and music and providing a unique perspective on breaking entertainment news and the hottest headlines.

    It’s funny to think that spinning – that is, sitting on a stationary bike! – became one of the most popular forms of exercise in the last decade. We have SoulCycle and Peloton, among other brands, to thank for that. They turned the individual hamster wheel into an engaging, entertaining, and community-driven form of fitness. You no longer feel alone when in a SoulCycle studio class or Peloton streaming class. It’s a magical result of innovative technology and human psychology: the desire to be part of something bigger, to find inspiration and instruction in a team setting.
