Watch the Trailer for #AppleTV's Way of the Warrior Kid thenerdstemplar.com/2026/10/… @prattprattpratt @jockowillink #ChrisPratt #LindaCardellini #JockoWillink #WayoftheWarriorKid
I had moved from Massachusetts to Los Angeles a few months prior to this. When @KeithFoulke tossed that ball to Dougie my neighbors learned what a Masshole was. The #RedSox winning the #WorldSeries let out a guttural scream built up through generations. They Reversed the Curse.

Birthday shout-out to Pedro Martinez born October 25, 1971. The Baseball Hall-of-Famer was a 3x Cy Young winner (twice with the #RedSox) and was on the 2004 Boston World Series winner. His number 45 was retired by Boston. The most dominant right-handed pitcher of his era.
.@A24's Tony is one of the most underrated flicks of the year. I loved Dominic Sessa opposite Paul Giamatti and Da'Vine Joy Randolph in The Holdovers, but he might be even better as Anthony Bourdain. A24 needs to push Antonio Banderas for Best Supporting Actor as well.

Today is National Boston Cream Pie Day! Created in 1856 by a French chef at the Parker House Hotel (now the Omni Parker House) in Boston, it's a cake and not a pie. It also makes for a great donut so swing by @KanesDonuts or your favorite shop today! #NationalBostonCreamPieDay

Birthday shoutout to Christopher Lloyd (@DocBrownLloyd) born October 22, 1938 in Stamford, Connecticut. He's been in classics like Back to the Future, Clue, Taxi, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, and Who Framed Roger Rabbit? He's also brilliant in Nobody/Nobody 2!
Sports are so engrained into Boston lives that #MattDamon & #BenAffleck made #RobinWilliams' character in Good Will Hunting meet his wife when Pudge hits his homer in the #WorldSeries. An iconic #RedSox moment. youtube.com/watch?v=6bm288u3…
October 21, 1975, Carlton Fisk hits his legendary World Series homer waving it fair over Fenway Park's Green Monster. The #RedSox win game 6 in extras because of Pudge's dinger. #OTD #MLB #WorldSeries📷

October 21, 1797, the USS Constitution, also known as Old Ironsides, is first launched. She was built at Edmund Hartt's shipyard in the North End of Boston, Mass. She is usually berthed at Pier 1 of the former Charlestown Navy Yard at one end of Boston's Freedom Trail today. #OTD
Holy crap, #ClayfaceMovie might be the surprise of 2026. A body horror fan's wet dream, it will have you squirming in your seat. See it with a crowd and on an empty stomach.
October 20, 1989, Pretty Hate Machine, the debut studio album by Nine Inch Nails was released. It was promoted with the singles "Down in It", "Head Like a Hole", and "Sin" and was later certified triple-platinum by RIAA. #TrentReznor turned into an Oscar winning movie scorer.

October 19, 1864, 20 or so Confederate soldiers raid St. Albans, Vermont after crossing through Canada. The raiders robbed 3 banks of more than $200,000 killed one citizen and wounded two others and tried unsuccessfully to burn down the town. vermonthistory.org/freedom-u…
Oh man Richard Riehle has passed? Of course Office Space comes to mind but his smaller movies like 3 Days of Normal, FDR American Badass, Helen Keller vs Nightwolves and flicks like those are my favorites.

Taylor Sheridan just killed it at the @osssociety gala. Congratulations on the first John Ford award!

✅
can confirm Outside Providence was solid
Plus George Wendt costars in 1 of New England's most criminally underrated flicks, @farrellybros' Outside Providence. @ShawnHatosy, Alec Baldwin, Amy Smart, Richard Jenkins star. The film is based on the book about Peter Farrelly's experience at Kent School in Kent, Connecticut.

Happy 40th to Martin Scorsese's The Color of Money, released October 17, 1986. A sequel to The Hustler, Paul Newman returns as Fast Eddie with #TomCruise and Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio. Newman won his only Academy Award for it. @tomcruise's career continued to skyrocket.
Happy 60th to Bullitt! The Steve McQueen flick was released October 17, 1968. The King of Cool's film features one of, it not THE, greatest car chase sequences in cinematic history. McQueen's green @Ford Mustang became iconic and the movie was nominated for two Academy Awards.
