On the heels of last week's Conversation with a Curator Paley talk about the Super Bowl Halftime Show, I'll be at it again on Thursday, talking about the most memorable Super Bowl commercials of all time (& a few fun ones you may have never seen). I'm putting my Adweek past to good use for this one
A week later, on Thurs 2/5, I’ll celebrate the Super Bowl’s most memorable commercials, show some of the best (and worst) Super Bowl ads of all time and preview which of this year’s commercials could join the pantheon www.paleycenter.org/events/conve...

So glad this is coming back for a second season - and if you haven't watched Season 1 yet, what are you waiting for?
The Lowdown is the best damn show not enough people are watching. I can exclusively report that FX has ordered a second season of the delightful Ethan Hawke comic mystery series: www.whatsalanwatching.com/the-lowdown-...

This feels like a good time to point out that Apple News+ (either solo or better yet as part of the Apple One bundle) is one of the best deals in media as it gives you access to dozens of amazing publications (including Sam's)
FYI this is an immediate block. You’re under no obligation to pay for my or anyone else’s work, but you won’t come onto my feed to complain about us earning a living.

This was such a fun event. Thanks to @connorratliff.bsky.social making this an unforgettable afternoon—and to everyone who came out to watch with us. I’m with Connor: I don’t think I’ll be able to watch the Special in full again bc it will never be as enjoyable as it was in that packed theater.
Super-smart, super-thorough and superfun Q&A btw @jasonlynch.bsky.social and George Lucas Talk Show host @connorratliff.bsky.social after. Complete with clips of Donnie & Marie Star Wars special and #StarWars cast bemoaning the special.
