Today on the 5: The fantastic review channel The Nth Review recently posted a long form review of the Deus Ex titled The End Of Deus Ex, which I would highly recommend. At the very end the author talks about the hiatus of Deus Ex Remastered, and whether that was a bad thing. That question got me thinking.

Today on the 5: I just happened to hear a report on the amount of money Amazon Studios is spending on the Melania documentary, and I was honestly styunned at the numbers. Many are attributing this to a political motive, but this is hardly the first bad financial bet Amazon has made in terms of streaming.

This week we're talking about Windows Weekly, Masters Of The Universe, Dave Mackey, New York Ninja, Neon Maniacs, and Miami Golem. Show music by HeartBeatHero and OGRE. Support the show! Get up to 2 months free podcasting service with our Libsyn code OZONE

Today on the 5: It's a rough week for anyone who still believed that Tim Cook and Apple were better than mnost ofd other large tech companies. After attending the Melania premiere and issuing a non-statement about the shootings in Minnesota, some folks are finally realizing what the job of a CEO actually is.

Today on the 5: Almost a decade ago I watched a movie from 1986 titled Neon Maniacs. I wasn't sure how it would hold up when I selected it for one of our commentary films for this week, but for a film that was never properly completed it holds up fairly well!

Today on the 5: I was never into the Marvel character Wonder Man when i was younger, so a show centering on the chatacter didn't interest me much. Now that reviews are coming out, I've noticed one very significant element mentioned again and again that made the show a must watch for me.

Today on the 5: For our first commentary film of the week, Lando picked a movie that neither of us had ever heard and I was dreading would be a boring slog to get through. The selection was 1985's Miami Golem, and after the absolute blast we had with it means I'll be asking him to choose more movies going forward!

This week we're talking about J's Little Things, Jackson Pollack, Fallout 76, Black Sunday, Planet Of The Vampires, and The Beyond. Show music by HeartBeatHero and OGRE. Support the show! Get up to 2 months free podcasting service with our Libsyn code OZONE

Today on the 5: I came across a post over on 9To5Google talking about the news that the popular app Nova Launcher has been acquired by a company called Instabridge and won't become depracated as originally feared. Strangely, this article makes a big point of mentioning ads coming to the free version as if that's both a negative and the only option to use it.

Today on the 5: The typical attitude from creators towards AI tools is that they have no place in creativity, for a variety of reasons. The problem with that attitude is that it both antagonistic and untrue, and it's important to spotlight cases where AI actually improves creativity.   

Today on the 5: One of our other commentary films for the week is another Mario Bava feature, 1965's Planet Of The Vampires. Like Black Sunday, it's another visually stunning film from an older style of cinema. This one isn't a gothic horror, instead we get a gorgeous movie that influencesd later classics like Alien.  

Today on the 5: For one of our commentary films this week, we queued up a piece of classic gothic horror in 1960's Black Sunday. If you're a fan of older horror films in the Hammer vein, you'll probably have a great time with this beautifully filmed story of satanic vengeance. 

This week we're talking about Roy Batty's Trench Coat, Volante Design, Pilot Pirx's Inquest, Dreaming The Reality, and Predator: Badlands. Show music by HeartBeatHero and OGRE. Support the show! Get up to 2 months free podcasting service with our Libsyn code OZONE

Today on the 5: I came across an excellent opinion piece over on The Verge about how the CEOs of Apple and Google have done nothing about the Grok image generation problem. It's absolutely worth reading, and further evidence that these companies and their leadership only really care about keeping the money flowing.

Today on the 5: For our final commentary film this week, we did something unusual and watched a new movie, 2025's Predator Badlands. I wasn't really that interested in this movie as it seemed like it was aiming for a different audience, and I would have been just fine passing it by. Then I saw how divisive a lot of reviews were, and at point I knew we had to watch it.
