Today on the 5: Recently I went back and watched the NBC sitcom Night Court after not having seen it since I was little. I was expecting to find a lightweight comedy, but a few seasons in I've been amazed at how heavy the show has been.

This week we're talking about The Mandalorian, Lovecraft Actually, Skull Forest, and Kevin Smith. Show music by HeartBeatHero and OGRE. Support the show!

Today on the 5: I was talking with some people on Discord about the tough line a lot of people navigate between being independent operators and finding success. Staying even between those two poles is no easy feat.

Today on the 5: My wife and I just finished a second complete watch of the magnificent series Dark on Netflix. Shortly after, I realized I never reviewed it the first time we finished it.

Today on the 5: As part of my holiday movie marathon, I watched another fantastic fanedit by Job Willins called Lovecraft Actually. It's an amazingly successful melding of three very different films into a cohesive new story.

Today on the 5: As part of my holiday movie marathon, I watched the Len Kabasinski film Skull Forest. A lot has been made about the dutch angle usage in the movie, but I barely noticed it and it ended up being a fun take on a classic idea.

This week we're talking about 2020, the Easter Bunny, Wonder Woman 1984, Prodeus, and Bloodbeat. Show music by HeartBeatHero and OGRE. Support the show!

Today on the 5: Red Letter Media recently did a video talking about the third season of Twin Peaks in which they mention this YouTube entry claiming to explain the entire series. I've watched the whole thing, and while I find it well researched and very interesting, I'm not sure it explains anything at all.
