Today on the 5: As the pandemic started to ramp up and technology companies sent their employees home, some were criticized for stating that no updates would happen for the time being. I'm actually relieved to hear that. 

Tonight I'm joined by Daniel Barton, who creates music under the stage name HeartBeatHero. We're going to talk about Daniel's background, his musical process, and we play a few of his songs! Show music by Reed Love and OGRE. Support the show!

Today on the 5: Animal Crossing New Horizons launched on March 20th, and the timing could not have been better. This game has been a welcome zen garden in a highly stressful time. 

Today on the 5: As part of my constant viewership of older movies of all types, I watched an action movie from 1986 called Scorpion. It's a perfectly watchable movie that is remarkable in that it's assembled from such strange parts.

This week we're talking about Far Cry 5, The Freakmaker, and Lando reveals that his sense of what makes a sexy vampire is terribly wrong. Show music by Reed Love and OGRE. Support the show!

Today on the 5: While we've been indoors, my wife and I started playing a board game called Horrified. It's a really fun game that is easy to learn and adjust the difficulty on.

Today on the 5: After hearing about the cyberpunk novel Hardwired for years and years, I finally got around to reading the book. I thought that it might come off as an imitator of books like Neuromancer and Snow Crash, but I was happy to find that it had a very unique identity.

Today on the 5: One of the many films in my new collections is a 1989 action film called Laser Mission. It's a perfectly enjoyable and disposable action film that you can laugh at while being entertained.

Today on the 5: This is probably an unnecessary message for our audience, but I've seen and heard some other shows reporting that listeners felt hesitant or guilty about cancelling donations during the current pandemic. Do NOT think twice if you have to do that!
