I was joined by @andrewjoepotter.bsky.social to discuss more TIFF movies. Tune in to hear our thoughts on La Bola Negra, Elsinore, Your Mother Your Mother Your Mother, Fjord and more!

Took a minute to realize that OP didn't mean this to read as a dire warning.

Modern TIFF is like a strip mall buffet. Yes, there are crab legs. Good luck getting your hands on them before the masses descend. While you bide your time waiting for the loss leaders to be doled out, why not treat yourself to a huge scoop of the most middling pasta salad you've ever tasted?

I'm sure a number of business leaders could've rode the Caitlin Clark (A'ja/Angel/Paige, etc.) wave to success as WNBA commissioner, but it's lame that pitchforks have been out for Cathy Engelbert for the past year. Here's what she navigated in her seven years.

As far as I can tell, two rookies have hit their first career home runs against reigning Silver Sluggers this season. The Pirates' Tyler Callihan took Shohei Ohtani deep on June 10. And Twins outfielder Walker Jenkins hit one off ... Tigers utility man Zach McKinstry last night.

I'm no Engelbert apologist but given the way Cunningham has positioned herself as every Fox News pundit's fav woman in sports, I'm not entirely sure what people want her to do.

Nneka Ogwumike might be closer to being the best women's basketball of all time than the 10th-best. I think there are four people I'd put ahead of her. She's in the 5th-10th range for sure.

Nobody gives a shit about anyone else’s fantasy team, but I’m pushing toward the playoffs with a core of Kyle Tucker, Ketel Marte, James Wood, Rafael Devers, Riley Greene, Will Smith, Bryan Woo and Joe Ryan, and it’s all starting to feel a little too much like the Springfield Power Plant team.

Interesting that Sophie Cunningham started doing all this bad-faith crap as soon as she wasn't teammates with people like Taurasi, Griner and Cloud anymore. Courage!

Nobody made more Odyssey-coded movies than Wolfgang Peterson. It’s like three decades of men against the world, epic fantasy quests, men losing their memory, doomed boats, and literally the Trojan War.

Jackson Merrill capping a two-out, 10-pitch PA with a 103.5 mph RBI single is just not something I would have expected two months ago. Just a completely different player since the all-star break. E-Rod threw the kitchen sink — 5 different pitches — and JM made contact with everything he swung on.

How does using teen girls as props in a highly visible anti-trans campaign align with the “protect girls” ethos, I wonder.

Need the Blue Jays' top Vladologists to study Adrian Beltre's final season in Seattle, where he hit just 8 homers with a .683 OPS in 477 PAs. Or more aptly, study his lone season with the Red Sox — the start of a 9-year run where he averaged 25 homers and 32 doubles with an .872 OPS.

New Frankenstein adaptation but it's a mad scientist at Johns Hopkins trying to combine the Orioles' two interminably banged-up catchers into one elite batter.

What is the argument for allowing sports books to offer bets on outcomes that are as easy to manipulate as "first pitch is a ball" or "player records less than 3.5 rebounds"? Is the industry line just: "If we don't offer these bets, grey or black market operators will — and we provide oversight"..?

@cptowers.bsky.social Kyle Teel took 9 swings across his 4 PAs in his ‘26 debut. Savant says his bat speed avg’d 74.3, up from 69.5. Smallest of samples but something to track, esp. w/ Vargas being the qualified leader in Y2Y bat speed gain (on a pretty good CHW offense to begin with).
