The Vision Pro Roadmap
June 08, 2023 19:00 - 5 minutes - 4.87 MBToday on the 5: Apple has finally unveiled their long awaited AR/VR headset. The Vision Pro is coming next year, and it's being proclaimed both a future failure and triumph in the press. To me, both of those views are judging it incorrectly.
It's Not Asking A Lot!
June 07, 2023 19:00 - 5 minutes - 4.87 MBMichael Fisher posted on Twitter that YouTube adding the ability to append existing videos with an epilogue would be "asking a lot". I might be inclined to agree that the request was asking a lot if the division didn't pull in nearly $7 BILLION last year and constantly make moves that are decidedly anti-creator.

June 06, 2023 19:00 - 5 minutes - 4.87 MBToday on the 5: Thanks to the fantastic TheBMovieVault twitter account, I came across a movie from 1991 called Neon City. I was hoping it would at least have Michael Ironside chewing some scenery, but it turns out it's actually a legitimately fun movie!

June 05, 2023 19:00 - 5 minutes - 4.87 MBToday on the 5: After going through all of Robocop: Prime Directives, I was ready for something different.

Assassin's Creed Mirage
June 01, 2023 19:00 - 5 minutes - 4.87 MBToday on the 5: Sony recently held a showcase to preview a variety of upcoming games for their console. Many people went crazy for Spider-Man 2, but for me the most exciting trailer was for Assassin's Creed Mirage. It feels like the series may be performing a long overdue reset.

Reset Resistance
May 24, 2023 19:00 - 5 minutes - 4.87 MBToday on the 5: I was very fortunate that a friend of the show sent me an invite to Bluesky. Bluesky is a very Twitter-ish social media site is one of many trying to establish itself as a natural successor to the bird site, and like all the others has one major flaw that may doom any chance of success.

May 23, 2023 19:00 - 5 minutes - 4.87 MBToday on the 5: One of the co-founders of Pluto.tv, an ad supported streaming service, has a new product coming in the form of a free physical TV.

Back On The MK Train
May 22, 2023 19:00 - 5 minutes - 4.87 MBToday on the 5: I was pretty shocked a few years back when I picked up Mortal Kombat 11 and was really blown away by it. I hadn't played a full entry in the series for a very long time, but that one game got me back in the fold for the new game coming later this year!

May 17, 2023 19:00 - 5 minutes - 4.87 MBToday on the 5: In a typical case of following internet rabbit holes, I found out about a series from 2001 called Robocop: Prime Directives.

This review is for the first episode, Dark Justice.
Gotham Knights Game Review
May 15, 2023 19:00 - 5 minutes - 4.87 MBToday on the 5: Lando and I recently finished playing through Gotham Knights. It's ended up being a very mixed bag, with as much good as bad. If nothing else, it made me like Red Hood a lot more than I ever did before!

Star Wars Visions 2 Review
May 09, 2023 19:00 - 5 minutes - 4.87 MBToday on the 5: The second series of Star Wars Visions was released last week, and I've watched the entire run. It is an immensely wonderful series, and provides further evidence that allowing creators to move away from well trodden ground results in fantastic new material.
Renfield Spoiler Free Review
May 08, 2023 19:00 - 5 minutes - 4.87 MBToday on the 5: Over the weekend I rented Renfield, the vampire horror comedy movie starring Nic Cage and Nicholas Hoult. I'd read a lot of mixed reviews of the film, so I wasn't sure what to expect. While the movie has a few uneven elements, overall I had a great time with it!

The Twenty Percent Solution
May 04, 2023 19:00 - 5 minutes - 4.87 MBToday on the 5: Wired posted an article with a headline that grabbed my attention regarding the future of Star Wars. After reading it, I think maybe there is some bit of hope for my interest in new material from this franchise.

May 03, 2023 19:00 - 5 minutes - 4.87 MBToday on the 5: California lawmakers are advancing a bill that would require companies like Google and Meta to share some of the profits they make from news based advertising with local news outlets. The bill aims to salvage local news businesses, but even in a best case scenario I'm not sure it will do all that much good.
US Seals 2 Review
May 02, 2023 19:00 - 5 minutes - 4.87 MBToday on the 5: For an upcoming episode of Len Kabasinski's movie podcast, I watched a 2001 action film called US Seals 2.

Frankenstein Unbound Book Review
May 01, 2023 19:00 - 5 minutes - 4.87 MBToday on the 5: Over the weekend I finished Frankenstein Unbound, the book that was adapted into the 1990 film I reviewed recently. For a long while reading the book, I thought it was going to be a solid but unremarkable experience. Then the last 25% of the book slammed into me like a freight train and made me change my estimation of it.

Brain Noodling
April 27, 2023 19:00 - 5 minutes - 4.87 MBToday on the 5: News in the health wearables market got me thinking about some of the promises these devices aim to deliver on. By the time we get to the future where health is maximally analysed and predictable, will we be beyond caring?
The Shooting (1966) Retro Review
April 26, 2023 17:48 - 5 minutes - 4.87 MBToday on the 5: While I'm not generally someone who enjoys Westerns, I saw one recently added to the Criterion Channel that sounded interesting. It's titled The Shooting, and it was a wonderfully different type of Western that I liked quite a bit.
The Future Of Streaming
April 25, 2023 19:00 - 5 minutes - 5.43 MBThe Daily 5: Netflix recently announced the end of their physical DVD service. Along with the upcoming changes to HBO Max, this has me wondering what our streaming future will look like.

It's Not HBO, It's MAX
April 20, 2023 19:00 - 5 minutes - 4.87 MBToday on the 5: Warner Bros recently announced the rumored changes to the HBO Max streaming service, now called just Max. There wasn't a lot of positive response to it, which was predictable since the decline of HBO has seemed inevitable for a while now.
Building Better Trials
April 19, 2023 19:00 - 5 minutes - 4.87 MBToday on the 5: Lando and I recently picked up Gotham Knights after playing a one hour free trial of the game. While the PS5 trial for the title wasn't completely worthless, it certainly wasn't a good representation of the game.
Legion Book Review
April 18, 2023 19:00 - 5 minutes - 4.87 MBToday on the 5: I finally got around to reading Legion by William Peter Blatty. The book started out as the story that formed the basis of The Exorcist III. While the overall story is largely identical, I really enjoyed the book as an independent work.
Neptune Frost Spoiler Free Review
April 17, 2023 19:00 - 5 minutes - 5.44 MBToday on the 5: Over the weekend I watched a film titled Neptune Frost. While it's definitely not going to be for everyone, I found it to be visually striking with a powerful group of themes.

Empty Promises
April 13, 2023 19:00 - 5 minutes - 4.87 MBToday on the 5: The upcoming game Redfall got a less than glowing response after some recent gameplay footage was published. While you can debate how much of the audience anger is justified, one thing you should absolutely not count on are promised improvements post launch.
The Voice Assistant Deathwatch
April 12, 2023 19:00 - 5 minutes - 4.87 MBToday on the 5: The news items around the decline of the smart assistant don't show any signs of slowing down. While I'm not surprised by them, I am disappointed that this space never took off in better ways.

April 11, 2023 19:00 - 5 minutes - 4.87 MBToday on the 5: Western Digital My Cloud customers have been dealing with a service outage for a week now, which has impacted their ability to access their files.

April 06, 2023 19:00 - 5 minutes - 4.87 MBToday on the 5: You've probably seen a story or two around about Tesla employees sharing videos of customers that were recorded off their car cameras. While many of these stories seem focused on criticizing Tesla, the real issue is far bigger than one car company.
The Sound Of Pointlessness
April 05, 2023 19:00 - 5 minutes - 4.87 MBToday on the 5: Spotify has killed off the Spotify Live app, which was one of many Clubhouse imitators. While I personally love the idea of live audio, I'm not sure Clubhouse or any of the apps that have followed have made that concept any better than what we already have.
Hangar 18 Retro Review
April 04, 2023 19:00 - 5 minutes - 4.87 MBToday on the 5: Over the weekend I watched a science fiction film from 1980 titled Hangar 18. It's a movie that feels like the product of a bygone era of filmmaking, but I felt like it was still a largely successful movie overall. It may feel dated in places, but there's also a lot to enjoy here!
