Today on the 5: After watching this video about a video game studio closing after admitting to their use of AI, I started thinking about what it means to see these stories popping up fairly regularly. If companies keep trying to deflect customer reaction to their use of AI, what should that tell them?

Today on the 5: For one of our commentary films this week, we watched a 1987 film titled Bloody New Year. This one tries to create a sci-fi horror movie somewhat based around New Year's Ever, and it almost works! There are a few problems holding it back from being an overlooked gem, but even so we were never bored and ended up having a good time with it.

Today on the 5: Late last week I saw a documentary on The Crtierion Channel titled Goodbye Horses: The Many Lives of Q Lazzarus that looked interesting, so I decided to take a chance on it. It turned out to be a truly moving story about an artist that deserved a bigger spotlight in life.

Today on the 5: Over the holidays I came across this Verge article making the case that the term "podcast" should be retired. Not only do I think the argument the author is making is weak to beign with, but the second half of the piece contradicts the entire idea!

Today on the 5: For our commentary film this week, Lando and I watched 1987's Uninvited. If you only heard the synopsis and looked at the box art, you'd probably expect a low effort junky monster movie. Instead, this is a surprisingly fun and well paced B movie about a monster that isn't really all that evil!

Today on the 5: The selection for the next episode of Stacey's Book Club over on the TWiT network is a very recent release titled The Heist Of Hollow London. It's been quite a while since I've read a book I'm this conflicted about in terms of recommending.
