This year Apple TV fearfully pulled #TheSavant over the “political climate.” Last year America buried #TheOrder due to "Trumpian Zeitgeist" junk. At least, #TheOrder is on @hulu for Americans & on Prime Video Canada for Canadians. There’s nothing to be scared off. #SetTheVCR

Shoutout to all the 1939 kids who invested their dimes in #Batman. Your wonderful generation was the seed funding for this quintessential character. When I visit Egypt it's disheartening to see gods & their lore under dust. A fate Batman has avoided thanks to all of us. #BatmanDay

A #TIFF50 #PantsWorthy Recommendation: We lost John Belushi on March 5, 1982. We lost Chris Farley on December 18, 1997. And in between we lost John Candy on March 4, 1994. Comedy is doing just fine. Funny people keep cracking us up. But it's not the same and you know it.

A #TIFF50 #PantsWorthy Recommendation: A 10 year old girl hired a hit man (Mads Mikkelsen) to kill the monster under her bed. Yes! “It was conceived and designed to be an Amazing Story story,” says Bryan Fuller. Remember the 2020 Amazing Stories revival by Spielberg? #DustBunny

A #TIFF50 #PantsWorthy Recommendation: In the silent movie star tradition I offer Kid Koala’s charming Space Cadet: “a musical fable about a young astronaut & her guardian robot.” Wonderfully anti-Pixar: its got so much soul. Plus the soundtrack is fantastic!" youtu.be/0zSzncVprHE
