A #PantsWorthy #SDCC2025 Recommendation: Before #Superman, #Peacemaker was out here being an inspiration for the kids. Put that in your D.A.R.E. pipe and smoke it. Dude's Hall H Happing with #JamesGunn is on Saturday, July 26 at 3:30 pm.

With #SDCC2025 this week featuring all that nice nerd-TV, Michael Hirsh, author of Animation Nation shares a #Batman story. Right before 1989 Batman? Fox passed on a Batman cartoon. They figured nobody knows who "Bat-Man" is...hah. mysummerlair.com/podcast/michae…

#Galactus invading #Toronto is a fatal movie: even cosmic beings can't escape the Gardiner. #RimShot #FantasticFour
Canada...Galactus is coming. Marvel Studios’ #TheFantasticFour: First Steps arrives in theatres this Friday. Get tickets now!
A #PantsWorthy #SDCC2025 Recommendation: The Special Guests list is impressive: Chip Kidd to Jim Lee! Recently we lost Jim Shooter & Peter David. This ain't guilt. I's a recognition you have a window of time to truly communicate to these creators you value their dynamic work.

Last year #JamesGunn rightly promised the #DCU will not focus on the origin stories: “I’m not telling Batman and Superman’s origin stories again because everyone knows them.” Gunn is right. So applying that logic what does Guillermo del Toro's #Frankenstein offer at #TIFF50?!
#TIFF50 North American Premiere: ⚡ FRANKENSTEIN dir. Guillermo del Toro
More #TIFF50 CanCon: #Degrassi: Whatever It Takes joins the John Candy doc. The #Degrassi doc is directed by #LisaRideout, who killed it with her @sexwithsuefilm. (She's 1 more doc away from a Canadian trilogy.) So? How much Drake and how Kevin Smith should viewers expect??
#TIFF50 World Premiere: 🏫 DEGRASSI: WHATEVER IT TAKES dir. Lisa Rideout
This week’s TV Recommendations range from a Holy War to a Code of Silence. And Happy Gilmore is back…with a (golf) range like that it can only be #SetTheVCR. Check out this week's #couchworthy finds ⬇️ mysummerlair.com/setthevcr/sett…
Oh, like Grunge...#LilithFair was a whole you hadda be there era. It'll be fascinating to put that whole scene into historical context. Lilith Fair: Building a Mystery follows recent old school focused docs like CNN's Live Aid and LL Cool J's Hip Hop Was Born Here. #TIFF50
The World Premiere of Ally Pankiw’s LILITH FAIR: BUILDING A MYSTERY — an Elevation Pictures Production — features Sarah McLachlan, Sheryl Crow, Brandi Carlisle, Erykah Badu, Bonnie Raitt, Jewel, and Olivia Rodrigo and will screen in the Gala programme at #TIFF50.
By writing a novel #WoodyAllen joins Tom Hanks, Ethan Hawke, Tarantino & other famous folks who pen fiction. Woody is a fantastic writer; I'm 100% IN for What's with Baum? when it drops on Sept 23, 2025. Do check out Apropos of Nothing his 2020 memoir. Solid book. #NewBookSmell
.@_SwiftPress is set to publish What’s With Baum?, a debut novel by Woody Allen about a middle-aged Jewish novelist bookbrunch.co.uk/page/article-d… (£)
“The #RobotChicken Nerd embarks on a journey of self-discovery the American way—by going on reality TV.” Welcome back Robot Chicken, the program that’s a TLC ball buster for pop culture. Tonight at 11:30 pm on @adultswim. On @streamonmax tomorrow. #SetTheVCR
Happy Birthday Cory @doctorow! Hanging out with you is the total opposite of Enshittification. Big high five and soft fist bump on your special birthday weekend. (Where the cake at?!)

“Humans are strange.” So says Harry the alien who has become a human played by Alan Tudyk one of the #ResidentAlien Season 4 guests on this #MSL episode. Get weird, get cosmic, get the latest episode on @syfy. 🎧 👇 mysummerlair.com/podcast/alan-t…
If you thought handing over Mission Impossible & F1 promo-marketing to influencers flooded the internet with wretched subpar content, here comes the Fantastic Four. Granted it's easier to throw lousy creators under the bus however there's an entire trash audience that so sucks.
WHERE ARE THE ACTUAL INTERVIEWERS AT ? Can I see someone interview these actors asking them what issues they read to prepare for their role? What is their interpretation of the character they are playing? What’s their favorite fantastic four storyline? Ect WHAT IS THIS ???
I'm doing a series of variant covers for Detective Comics. Here's the first one.
Today #Crave streams #TheOutsiders; classic cinema. You know who is so happy? The guy from House of Pain who wasn't Everlast: Danny Boy O’Connor. On Nov 04, 2025 you can expect Danny Boy's Staying Gold: The Oral History of The Outsiders: oral history with the movie's cast.

New #JudgeDredd, eh? Dredd was 2012, wow that's old. I haven't seen it in at least 10 years or more. It'd be way too expensive but really? Dredd works better as a TV show. Let Mega-City One breathe and be. For now for this Dredd movie? Show me a trailer: not in...not out.
#JudgeDredd. Taika Waititi. Those two names have studio heads and executives sitting up this week as one of the hottest packages of the year hits the Hollywood marketplace: bit.ly/4eWsPZm
