What to do this weekend

What to do this weekend

Eat like you’re at a Swiss ski resort. Whether or not you’re hitting the slopes this weekend, you can indulge in the delicacies of a Swiss après-ski meal: for the appetizer, fondue (obvi); for a main, Zürcher Geschnetzeltes (a savoury veal ragout); and for dessert, Swiss nut cake.

Read Accidental Tyrant by Fyodor Tertitskiy. From a leading expert comes a comprehensive new biography of Kim Il Sung — the founder of modern North Korea — plotting his rise from guerilla fighter to dictator. It’s just as much a cautionary tale as a history.  

Watch The Monkey, now in theatres. *In our best ’90s trailer voice* From the director of the terrifying smash hit Longlegs and master of horror Stephen King comes a new frontier in fear… a movie about a cursed toy monkey that goes on a killing spree. Yes, we’re serious.

Listen to So Close to What by Tate McRae. Fresh off of scoring five Juno nominations for her sophomore album and a surprise Drake shoutout, the rising Canadian pop star has a new LP out. Spin it, dance to it, and then talk about it with your Gen Z co-workers.—QH
