Today on the 5: I watched a 1986 movie called Vendetta the other day. The description had me expecting one of the standard version of an 80s women in prison film, but it ended being something a little different.
Today on the 5: After watching both of the original series of The Kingdom, or Riget, I went on to watch the final entry in the trilogy. Against a lot of odds, Kingdom Exodus is a fitting end to a weird and wonderful story.
Today on the 5: I've had the new Blu-ray of Alien Private Eye for a while now, and I finally sat down and watched it. While it certainly has issues as a movie, it's actually better than i expected it to be.
Tonight I'm talking all things Quantum Leap with author Matt Dale. Music for the show provided by OGRE.
This week we're talking Black Magick, The Kingdom (Riget), and Glass Onion. Show music by HeartBeatHero and OGRE. Support the show! Joe's Linktree Get up to 2 months free podcasting service with our Libsyn code OZONE
Today on the 5: Following my first series re-watch of The Kingdom, or Riget, I went straight into the second series to see where it would go after the ending of that first 4 episodes. Impressively, it managed to maintain the unique blend of mundane and insane that it delivered in the first arc.
Today on the 5: My wife and I watched Glass Onion, the first in a series of planned films following the formula of Knives Out. I had some concerns on how well the elements that made the first movie would translate to another film, but I'm happy to say we had a great time with it!
Today on the 5: After many years, I recently revisited the Danish series titled The Kingdom, or Riget. It's a show that clearly took inspiration from Twin Peaks and built a bizarre narrative that works just as well. Here is my review of the first 4 episode series.
This week we're talking Willow, She-Hulk: Attorney At Law, and Silent Night Deadly Night 5. Show music by HeartBeatHero and OGRE. Support the show! Joe's Linktree Get up to 2 months free podcasting service with our Libsyn code OZONE
Today on the 5: I'll be honest, I struggled on coming up with a good topic for today's 5. I had just about given up when it occurred to me that just wishing everybody a nice holiday isn't such a bad idea!
Today on the 5: When Elon Musk banned the ElonJet account from Twitter, the criticisms were numerous and loud. Those reactions seem largely based on his past statements and general dislikability as opposed to actual merit.
Today on the 5: Many people have complained about how often Elon Musk tweets and some of what he posts. Regardless of how you feel about the person or his management, this level of transparency from someone at his level is fairly unique.
Today on the 5: Over the weekend I watched Silent Night Deadly Night 5. While I may not agree with others about it being a misunderstood classic, I still had a great time with it.
This week we're talking Not All Robots, Willow, The Believers, and Christmas Bloody Christmas. Show music by HeartBeatHero and OGRE. Support the show! Joe's Linktree Get up to 2 months free podcasting service with our Libsyn code OZONE
Today on the 5: Back in July I reviewed Annihilation, the first novel in the Southern Reach Trilogy. I've now finished the other two books, and I have a bit of a unique review of the trilogy.
Today on the 5: Over the weekend my wife and I finished the fifth season of Cobra Kai, the popular sequel series to the Karate Kid films. The season itself was pretty good, but there is one thing that it left me wondering about.
Today on the 5: Last week Shudder released a new original horror film titled Christmas Bloody Christmas. The reviews have been generally pretty good, so I decided to watch it and see what I thought. I loved it!
Today on the 5: I was wandering through some lists of 80s movies and came across one from 1987 titled The Believers. This is one I know I saw a long time ago, but I doubt I appreciated it as much then as I do now.
This week we're talking Elon Musk, Promethea, Alan Moore, and The Children. Show music by HeartBeatHero and OGRE. Support the show! Joe's Linktree Get up to 2 months free podcasting service with our Libsyn code OZONE
Today on the 5: Some gamers are upset by the recent announcements from Microsoft that "big-budget" games will now cost $70. Not to worry, I have a method that will save you having to pay that amount!
Today on the 5: Over the weekend I watched a movie mentioned in the documentary series I talked about yesterday. It's a movie from 1980 called The Children, and it is far better than you would expect from the poster and synopsis.
Today on the 5: I have backed and watched all three entries in the In Search Of Darkness trilogy. Since these documentaries are dedicated to horror films of the 80s, they have been invaluable in providing me material to watch and review!
Today on the 5: Just about two months ago I upgraded from a phone that I truly loved to the Pixel 7 Pro. While I haven't had it long enough to review, I feel like I can provide at least my initial impressions of the device.
This week we're talking Skybourne, The Golden Ass, Black Adam, and The Cry Of The City. Show music by HeartBeatHero and OGRE. Support the show! Joe's Linktree Get up to 2 months free podcasting service with our Libsyn code OZONE
Today on the 5: Lando and I have been playing through the recently released Evil West. The extraordinarily narrow focus of the game is a nice break from the typical open world approach many games now take.
Today on the 5: Several times lately I've heard news orgs referring to their output as "unbiased news" or "unbiased reporting". Folks, I hate to repeat myself but there's no such thing as unbiased anything where humans are involved!
Today on the 5: I wanted to follow up my weird experience with Black Adam with something I was sure would be better. I watched Cry Of The City, not only was it better but it was flat out excellent.
Today on the 5: Over the weekend I watched Black Adam. You may remember I thought it was going to be awful. It was, but amazingly not in the ways I would have expected.
This week we're talking the iOS security issues and Diplomatic Immunity. Show music by HeartBeatHero and OGRE. Support the show! Joe's Linktree Get up to 2 months free podcasting service with our Libsyn code OZONE
Today on the 5: Over the weekend I watched the 1991 action film Diplomatic Immunity. While the Bruce Boxleitner vehicle isn't a great movie, I think with a bit more money and polish it could have been.
Today on the 5: Apparently the Alexa division over at Amazon is losing some serious cash, as is Google's Assistant. I have to admit I'm somewhat surprised by this.
Today on the 5: You've likely heard that Apple has some leaky data issues happening on their devices. Is it intentional? Is it a colossal error? I have no idea, but either way I think it'll be a great story!
Today on the 5: I stopped playing Fallout 76 a while back on the Playstation after running out of things to do. Incredibly, getting a free copy on the PC got me playing again because wiped out all my progress and made the world a blank canvas again.
This week we're talking Kevin Conroy, Quantum Leap (2022), Strange Behavior, and Evilspeak. Show music by HeartBeatHero and OGRE. Support the show! Joe's Linktree Get up to 2 months free podcasting service with our Libsyn code OZONE
Today on the 5: Quantum Leap 2022 has just entered a winter break after airing 8 episodes. I'm all caught up, so I wanted to review the first half of the first season.
Today on the 5: I took a break from the Criterion Channel horror collection to watch a delightful slice of low end 80s horror, 1982's Evilspeak.
Today on the 5: My wife and I have been looking for something to play that has the same laid back magic that Stardew Valley did. We found an early access game called Core Keeper, and so far it's delivering what we're looking for.
Today on the 5: Over the weekend I watched another entry from the Criterion Channel's 80s horror film list. This time it was 1981's Strange Behavior, which is an enjoyably odd little horror film.
This week we're talking Westworld, The Human Target, Next Of Kin, and Wolfen. Show music by HeartBeatHero and OGRE. Support the show! Joe's Linktree Get up to 2 months free podcasting service with our Libsyn code OZONE
Today on the 5: If you still use Twitter, you've likely seen posts by people advocating going over to Mastodon instead. Once you get there, you might find a much less welcoming tone.
Today on the 5: Westworld has been cancelled after four seasons. While many outlets are reporting this means the show may not have an ending, I'd argue the show already had two endings!
Today on the 5: I followed up the sensational Wolfen with another winner from the Criterion Channel's 80s horror collection. This time I'm reviewing 1982's Next Of Kin, an Australian film that occasionally felt very Italian.
Today on the 5: The Criterion Channel's 80s horror collection continues to provide movies that I absolutely love. The latest entry in that list is Wolfen, a movie from 1981 that looks like a werewolf film but is in fact something quite different.
This week we're talking Pantone colors, car safety, I Like Bats, and Shock. Show music by HeartBeatHero and OGRE. Support the show! Joe's Linktree Get up to 2 months free podcasting service with our Libsyn code OZONE
Today on the 5: It seems like Sony is having trouble getting people to stick with the revamped Playstation Plus offerings. As a subscriber, I can understand why people don't stick around.
Today on the 5: Along with I Like Bats, I also watched Mario Bava's final film, 1977's Shock. It's a visually fantastic film with a riveting performance from Daria Nicolodi.
Today on the 5: I watched a pair of horror movies over the weekend that are a really perfect pairing. First up, a Polish film from 1986 called I Like Bats. Not the best title, but an absolutely fascinating movie.
Today on the 5: Elon Musk now owns Twitter, and he is now free to pursue the dream of the digital public square embedded in the X app! That's what he says anyway. Let's see what we actually get.
This week we're talking Breakworld, Black Magick, and The Peripheral. Show music by HeartBeatHero and OGRE. Support the show! Joe's Linktree Get up to 2 months free podcasting service with our Libsyn code OZONE
Today on the 5: A recent article on Wired made several good points on how Doctor Who needs a shakeup. While I don't necessarily agree with everything in the post, it's pretty undeniable at this point that the series needs some big changes.
