First time flying Aeromexico. In J. YYZ-MEX-EZE

Hi FTers!
I'm in the process of planning a trip to Buenos Aires in August in J. Leaving YYZ at 1AM, arriving MEX at 5 AM, 5 hour layover and then a 10:30 AM flight to EZE, arriving that evening.

Just have a couple questions.
1. At YYZ, which lounge will we have access to?
2. What's the IFE like on the 777-200 from MEX to EZE and returning?
3. On either direction, do we have to clear Mexican immigration/customs? In which case, do we have to collect bags?

Sorry for all the questions! Not my first time flying, by any means, just first time on this route.

Both directions, and yes. Bag-redrop to the far right after customs, and then opposite side of hall (without going "outside") is an escalator up to connecting security. Northbound flight, expect up to an hour for your baggage, plus unwieldy customs inspection for South America arrivals. Those flights are segregated (although your baggage carousel can be in either room, notwithstanding the signage).
