Forget The Haters!
Ozone Nightmare
Today on the 5: I saw an article earlier over on Ars Technica that was warning people away from using AI tools like ChapGPT to pick stocks for them. I think these people are just afraid of technology, and I say people should do as much as they can with these tools!

Battle Royal High School Retro Review
Ozone Nightmare
Today on the 5: For one of our communal movie commentaries this week, the random movie wheel landed on 1987's . What we didn't know beforehand is this is an adaptation of a multi-volume manga of the same name trying to squeeze a lot of story into a OVA. It also has some delightfully bad dubbing, fantastic hand drawn animation and a story so far off the rails we honesatly never knew where it would go next!

The Junk Algorithm
Ozone Nightmare
Today on the 5: In the wake of the latest round of YouTube screwing over the creators who make it successful, a familiar yet utterly garbage justification came up again: the platform simply cannot handle moderation in any way but deeply flawed automation. It occurred to me that if this is true, it does not place Google's technical prowess in a particularly posiitive light.

The Purple Ball Retro Review
Ozone Nightmare
Today on the 5: I came across a Soviet science fiction fantasy film from 1988 titled , and I felt like it might be worth watching with Lando. It ended up being a very entertaining movie with some wild special effects and wildly imaginative storytelling.

Download: Devil Circuit Retro Review
Ozone Nightmare
Today on the 5: One of our selections for a comminual movie this week was one neither of us had every heard of 1992's . For a movie about an amazingly horny monk chasing after an exotic dancer while battling an evil corporation, it's both extremely funny and suprisingly restrained!

Steele Justice Retro Review
Ozone Nightmare
Today on the 5: Via an accident of me picking the wrong movie Lando watched , a Martin Kove Vietnam revenge action film from 1987. It ended up being a happy accident as we got a farily entertaining movie with a few noticeable flaws that left us wondering why Kove didn't have a higher profile career.

The Shrouds Review
Ozone Nightmare
Today on the 5: While I was sick with COVID I decided to watch David Cronenberg's latest film, 2024's . The movie has seen a very mixed response, which is typical for Cronenberg. What sets this movie apart is how clear a way of working through his wife's death this film is, and that gives it a weight far different than any of his other work.

A Quality Of Writing
Ozone Nightmare
Today on the 5: For many years I avoided reading work by because I got the sense that the mythology of the man eclipsed the reality of his life. After seeing a video about his work that made a good argument as to why that might be a mistake, I tried reading a few of his books.

info_outlineToday on the 5: In the past I've talked about my absolutely amazing Oakley Juliet X-Metal sunglesses, which are now well over 20 years old. While the frame itself is in remarkably great shape, the lenses are finally losing their original coatings. As Oakey no longer supplies spare parts or servicing for them, I tried out Revant lenses. After an ordering error on my part, Revant delivered some of the best customer service I'd had in quite a while. I felt like I needed to spotlight that since most of the time all you hear are complaints about companies.
