Having seen #ParadiseHulu Season 2 can I make a sweet suggestion? Everyone will blindly binge Episode 1 next week. The smarter play? Season 1: Episode 7 first then Season 2 Episode 1. Episode 7 is the apocalypse and that death and doom feeds neatly into Episode 1. #SetTheVCR

Speaking of hoes... @LisaRideout5's Degrassi: Whatever It Takes is playing tonight at @hotdocs_ so that's #PantsWorthy.

Abortion, AIDS, bullying, addiction...and Drake and Kevin Smith! Come see @LisaRideout5's Degrassi: Whatever It Takes and you’ll instantly understand how soft Euphoria is. The Canadian kids were never alright. #PantsWorthy

Message Me If... Ninjas are cooler than cowboys. It’s strange that for all his tech acumen it's bizarre James Cameron believes the only way to time travel is naked. All Day Breakfast is one of the sweetest English phrases up there with No Pants Parties and Free Food.

This Valentine's Day weekend: Try A Little Tenderness. For its 40th Anniversary Pretty in Pink returns to cinemas; #PantsWorthy #JohnHughes fun unless you’re named after an appliance.

“This is some horrific repugnant shit, man. I have never seen anything like this in my entire goddamn life and I’ve seen some crazy shit.” ~ Joe Keery in a cold sweat. Georgina Campbell is his cold comfort. Liam Neeson is ice cold. This Friday #ColdStorage heats up.

#BAL games have been scrappy fun. The cultural challenges (especially the play by play announcers clearly coming outta soccer) has deepened my #NBA gratitude. Today on @ESPN's App & on @CraveCanada: Origin. The 4-part doc chronicles the inaugural season of @theBAL. #SetTheVCR

The Librarian of TV Recommendations covers old school basketball and international basketball. And with so much in between this week's #SetTheVCR is a slam dunk. Check out this week's #couchworthy finds ⬇️ mysummerlair.com/setthevcr/se...

In Living Color Changed the Super Bowl Halftime Show...Forever. 🏈 Before Prince & U2 & MJ; In Living Color's 1992 Super Bowl halftime special forced the NFL to elevate halftime from a minor act to a cultural event. Before #SBLX: thank ILC. #EarJoy mysummerlair.com/podcast/davi...

It’s chili & chicken wings o’clock. What good & glorious trailers can we expect during #SBLX? Place your bets: #DisclosureDay? #AvengersDoomsday? #TheMandalorianAndGrogu? #StreetFighterMovie? #MortalKombatMovie? #TheOdysseyMovie? #Supergirl? #SuperBowl is pop culture Christmas.

Touchdown alert! 🏈 Before #SBLX, huddle up with this MSL convo with The Dynasty director Matthew Hamachek; you can see the #NFL docuseries on @appleTV. The Patriots are back in the...and so is their legacy. How was their greatness built? #earjoy mysummerlair.com/podcast/matt...

Rod Serling understood human nature better than most of us. A live #TwilightZone fundraiser of The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street proves how timeless that insight still is. And with a #PantsWorthy cast, this is charged yet so timely. Details here 👉 www.dynastytypewriter.com/calendar-squ...

Toronto keeps losing its edges. Fresh after losing the Imperial Pub #Toronto prepares to mourn Filmores. “Oh, but Moe: the dank. The dank!”

Cory Doctorow has spent years asking a simple question: who broke the internet? Now he’s in conversation with Tim Wu at Hot Docs Cinema on January 30, unpacking Enshittification...why digital platforms decay by design. A #PantsWorthy event to be sure.

On Jan 28, 1986, the Space Shuttle #Challenger broke apart 73 sec into its flight, killing all 7 crew members aboard. Sigh. Heavy moment for 80s kids. 2025 kids can enjoy #AdamHigginbotham’s Challenger non-fiction book. Gripping and compelling; out now from @AvidReaderPress. #NewBookSmell

#BubblewrapAppreciationDay is here! Permission to go buck wild...I got some of the strongest pinchers in the East. #MondayMotivation because it’s so therapeutic. Bonus fun: Martin from #Frasier on Eddie & #Bubblewrap: youtu.be/L7lcmzgClfQ?...

That Spectacular Spider-Man run with writer @jmdematteis.bsky.social & Sal Buscema (RIP) is special enough that an Omnibus was recently issued. It is a thrilling #SpiderMan era...even with the Clone Saga forcing everyone outta the pool for cleaning. There's such a beautiful simplicity to Spidey.

😭 6 years since #Kobe's death. It remains a strange statement to admit. Check out Roland @lazenby's #Showboat, his remarkable bio detailing the life of #KobeBryant. I was fortunate to be able to talk to Roland about Kobe & hear special stories. #NBA mysummerlair.com/podcast/rola...

😭#Kobe #WinningIsntForEveryone

Doctor Who has regenerated in San Diego! Worlds of Wonder: Where Science Meets Fiction has been extended at the Comic-Con Museum until 2027. (Well, if you're a Time Lord it's technically on forever...) I'd say this is #PantsWorthy but the exhibition includes a Weeping Angel. Aw hell no.

One of the coolest aspects of @PodCampToronto is you walk into the building all ignorant and you walk out all S-M-R-T. Check out the #PantsWorthy #PCTO26 schedule: what categories are calling you? Community? Social Media & Marketing? Sarcasm?

What does “modern” even mean? @IDSToronto opens in Toronto...a #PantsWorthy reminder that design is never neutral. Our relationship to movies, music & books has shifted: from objects to access. When you hear “modern” what do you picture? interiordesignshow.com

A toast to 45 years of Pac-Man at The Paley Museum. As an 80s kid I've spent my whole life chasing ghosts.

45 years of Pac-Man and it’s never been game over. Cheers to the original Ghostbuster. 45 Years of Pac-Man is on now at The Paley Museum...and oh it's #PantsWorthy. Spanning two a-maze-ing floors of design, play and pop-culture history to gobble up.

Oh yes! I'm not Mad at this because @ryannorth.ca is an excellent idiot. Plus #ChipZdarsky? Yo...it's a good thing I have OHIP because my funny bone is gonna need medical attention. #NewBookSmell

A few images from a roll of Kodak Tri-x 400 shot in Feb 2025. #believeinfilm #bnw #classicmono #Toronto #Canada

At the #StarTrek: Starfleet Academy premiere @picard102.bsky.social and I set our phasers to fun. Then during the evening's reception...thanks to the open bar we turned the safeties off. The entire evening was a successful Enterprise.

"How fun is it to see the string holding up a UFO in a classic B-Movie? For #TalkyTuesday I asked Michael Stasko about his cult-worthy creation: Vampire Zombies...From Space! Is it difficult to be bad? How do you make the B in B-Movie stand for Bad?"
