Today on the 5: For our final film in this week's selection of "Milla March" movies, we watched 2018's Future World. Based on the fairly low review scores and the presence of James Franco, we were ready for a bad time. Shockingly, this movie is far better than we expected it to be!

Today on the 5: Lando and I have finished playing Gears Of War: Reloaded. It's a very dumb game that was nontheless a fun time, at least for me. If you can find it for less than $20 and understand what it is, it'll probably provide you a good amount of entertainment!

Today on the 5: Lando and I are soldiering on with "Milla March" with 2006's Ultraviolet. A released movie that was never actually finished properly, this one has a backstory every bit as wild as the narrative itself! Weirdly, the butchered end result of this film's production lends it a fascination that it might not have had ifm it had been completed as intended.

Today on the 5: Unsurprisingly, the furor over DLSS5 has continued with some hilariously patronizing comments from NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang. I'm actually pretty happy that there are still CEOs who are so arrogantly dismissive of their customer base that they ignore the wisdom of silence and remind people how little they matter to these companies.

This week we're talking about MSG, Resident Evil: Afterlife, Resident Evil: Retribution, Resident Evil: The Final Chapter, and Hellboy (2019). Show music by HeartBeatHero and OGRE. Support the show!

Today on the 5: The newest release of DLSS has generated a lot of discussion, and with very good reason. DLSS5 crosses an important line by opening the door to changing the nature of graphics in video games that could easily have a significant impact on how players react to them. This is exactly the thing that many people have been concerned would happen, and they're clearly not happy about it.

Today on the 5: I saw an article over on Ars Technica about a bit of a dustup over AI powered OCR usage on a Patreon where the supporters didn't seem to know that's what their money would be used for. I found it to be a really fasincating case where I can see both sides of the arguments.

Today on the 5: After watching the Resident Evil live action films utterly fumble adapting the source material to live action, you might think I was better prepared for what was coming in the 2019 reboot of Hellboy. In almost impressive ways, this movie found new avenues infuriate me!

Today on the 5: As part of our "Milla March" movie marathon, we've now gone through the last 3 movies in the Resident Evil helmed by Paul W. S. Anderson. I wish I could tell you that there was a miraculous recovery to end in quality fashion, but unfortunately the series really never gets anywhere near the entrtainment the first movie managed to provide.
