Today on the 5: Replaying the amazing Control video game got me looking around for other media that had similar elements. I stumbled across The Lost Room, a miniseries that is far better than I expected.

Today on the 5: I watched a 1986 movie called Vendetta the other day. The description had me expecting one of the standard version of an 80s women in prison film, but it ended being something a little different.

Today on the 5: After watching both of the original series of The Kingdom, or Riget, I went on to watch the final entry in the trilogy. Against a lot of odds, Kingdom Exodus is a fitting end to a weird and wonderful story.

Today on the 5: I've had the new Blu-ray of Alien Private Eye for a while now, and I finally sat down and watched it. While it certainly has issues as a movie, it's actually better than i expected it to be.

Tonight I'm talking all things Quantum Leap with author Matt Dale. Music for the show provided by OGRE. 

This week we're talking Black Magick, The Kingdom (Riget), and Glass Onion. Show music by HeartBeatHero and OGRE. Support the show!

Today on the 5: Following my first series re-watch of The Kingdom, or Riget, I went straight into the second series to see where it would go after the ending of that first 4 episodes. Impressively, it managed to maintain the unique blend of mundane and insane that it delivered in the first arc.

Today on the 5: My wife and I watched Glass Onion, the first in a series of planned films following the formula of Knives Out. I had some concerns on how well the elements that made the first movie would translate to another film, but I'm happy to say we had a great time with it!

Today on the 5: After many years, I recently revisited the Danish series titled The Kingdom, or Riget. It's a show that clearly took inspiration from Twin Peaks and built a bizarre narrative that works just as well. Here is my review of the first 4 episode series.
