Journey's End Dec 19, 2019

Show notes

Today on the 5: I have finally finished the story campaign of Death Stranding, the only element I could not fully cover in my video review. Now that I've reached the end of Sam's story, I can complete my review.

Snow Crash The Series Dec 18, 2019

Show notes

Today on the 5: There are reports that a Snow Crash series is coming to HBO Max. Based on the success of Westworld and Watchmen, I'm optimistic that this might be a good adaptation.

Ghostbusters: Afterlife Trailer Dec 17, 2019

Show notes

Today on the 5: The first full trailer for Ghostbusters: Afterlife was released last week. The best part about what they're showing so far is that the new movie doesn't look like it's trying to recreate the parts of the original that can't be replicated.

An Apple Mystery Dec 16, 2019

Show notes

Today on the 5: Apple recently changed their Maps and Weather apps to show Crimea as part of Russia, even though they likely won't be able to stay in the Russian market after next July. Why would they make the change without any notable incentive to do so?

Electric Distillery 80,000 Volts Dec 13, 2019

Show notes

This week I'm talking Crisis On Infinite Earths, The Mandalorian, Dune, and Star Wars Legacy with guest co-host Roejen from Project Archivist. Show music by Reed Love and OGRE. Support the show!

Knives Out Spoiler Free Review Dec 12, 2019

Show notes

Today on the 5: Over the weekend my wife and I saw Knives Out. It's a really enjoyable mystery thriller that has great performances and a well constructed puzzle to try figuring out.

The Golem (1920) Review Dec 11, 2019

Show notes

I recently got around to watching a well known silent film from 1920 called The Golem: How He Came Into The World. It's a wonderful example of how purely visual filmmaking worked before CGI and advanced sound design.

The Bigger Picture Dec 10, 2019

Show notes

Today on the 5: A number of articles have appeared criticizing the Ring video doorbell and the very cozy relationship the company is taking with customer data and law enforcement. While that is a problem, the larger concern is why any company can have this type of relationship.

A Sequel I DO Want Dec 09, 2019

Show notes

Today on the 5: Many of the reviews and commentary on Death Stranding mention that it's a game that shouldn't get a sequel. While I somewhat understand that based on how other IPs handle sequels, I would be all for getting more of this world.
