Bottoms, the blockbuster from 28-year-old Toronto-born director Emma Seligman, stars Rachel Sennott and Ayo Edebiri as two lesbian teens who try to woo their cheerleader crushes by starting a fight club. Here, Seligman talks about imposter syndrome on set, why she’s passionate about shitty queer characters and the closest she got to a fight during her own high school days.

New Raptors coach Darko Rajaković was hired to nurture the rookies and lay the groundwork for a championship team. “My style of basketball is focused on great ball movement,” he says. “The Raptors have a lot of talent, but individual ability doesn’t mean much if you’re not working as a group.” Read our Q&A here.
