Today on the 5: The once dominant phone maker Blackberry ended service on Blackberry OS this week. While I don't particularly miss that OS or those phones, I would love to see the keyboard return to phones in some form.

Today on the 5: I recently had the chance to test drive the Jaybird Vista 2 wireless earbuds for a few weeks. I liked them so much, I bought my own set.

Today on the 5: I followed up the hilariously bad Pieces with something of immensely better quality, The Bird With The Crystal Plumage. The directorial debut of Dario Argento contains much of what would come to define his best works.

Today on the 5: For my first movie review of 2022, I've picked a 40 year old slasher titled Pieces. Does this notoriously bad movie deserve the reputation it has?

This week we're talking about Blades, Sniper Elite 4, Resident Evil 2021, and The Matrix Resurrections. Show music by HeartBeatHero and OGRE. Support the show!

Today on the 5: I wanted to use the last 5 of the year to spotlight a creator whose work I really enjoy, Maggie Mae Fish. Her Tim Burton and Stalker videos are fantastic, and her analysis of Beetlejuice in particular really resonated with me.

Today on the 5: The first episode of The Book Of Boba Fett is out, and I just finished watching it. It's only one episode, but I like what I'm seeing so far.

Today on the 5: The Matrix Resurrections is out, and I have watched it. Is this a sequel with something to say, or a perfect example of an unnecessary followup to a highly regarded franchise? The answer is yes.

Today on the 5: Over the weekend I watched the new reboot of the Resident Evil series, Resident Evil: Welcome To Raccoon City. While the title is absolutely terrible, the movie itself isn't too bad.
