Forget The Haters! 09/25/2025

Forget The Haters! 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.

Battle Royal High School Retro Review 09/24/2025

Battle Royal High School Retro Review 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! /episode/index/show/ozone/id/38330580

The Junk Algorithm 09/23/2025

The Junk Algorithm 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. /episode/index/show/ozone/id/38310885

Download: Devil Circuit Retro Review 09/18/2025

Download: Devil Circuit Retro Review 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! /episode/index/show/ozone/id/38230265

Steele Justice Retro Review 09/17/2025

Steele Justice Retro Review Today on the 5: Via an accident of me picking the wrong movie Lando watched , a Martin Kove Vietnam revenge action film from 1987.

The Shrouds Review 09/16/2025

The Shrouds Review 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. /episode/index/show/ozone/id/38186225

A Quality Of Writing 09/15/2025

A Quality Of Writing 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. /episode/index/show/ozone/id/38202605

Alien: Earth Review (Part 1) 09/09/2025

Alien: Earth Review (Part 1) Today on the 5: Lando and I have watched the first 4 episodes of 2025's series. We were both skeptical that it would be much beyond another forgettable IP product, but that cynicism disappeared pretty quickly. This review covers the first half of the 8 episode season, and while there's no guarantee things won't go south this is a boldly original take on a nearly 50 year old franchise. /episode/index/show/ozone/id/38092415

Service Worth Spotlighting 09/08/2025

Service Worth Spotlighting Today on the 5: In the past I've talked about my absolutely amazing , which are now well over 20 years old.

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. /episode/index/show/ozone/id/38092385

Witch From Nepal Retro Review 09/04/2025

Witch From Nepal Retro Review Today on the 5: The latest spin of the movie wheel landed on , an early Chow Yun-Fat vehicle that is loaded with magic, mysticism, and some questionable morality.

Popularity vs Groupthink Today on the 5: While talking to Lando about my experience watching Superman (2025), he questioned whether I have an inherent bias against things that are popular.

Superman (2025) Spoiler Free Review 08/26/2025

Superman (2025) Spoiler Free Review Today on the 5: I've been looking forward to watching the newest iteration of Superman from James Gunn, 2025's . After the depressing and fundamentally flawed version of the character that Zack Snyder delivered, the concept of a hopeful superhero was exactly what I needed.

Demons Retro Review Today on the 5: Lando is not generally much of a horror fan, so it was a bit of a risk picking for our communal film series.
