Ozone Nightmare

Today on the 5: Over the Halloween weekend I unintentionally ended up watching a set of horror movies. The first one was actually a sequel, the Len Kabasinski film Swamp Zombies 2.

Today on the 5: There are new reports about Apple developing their own search engine based on changes in iOS 14. Some are pointing at recent Congressional hearings as the reason, but this seems like something Apple would be doing as fast as possible no matter what.

This week we're talking about Wasteland 3, Time Walker, Kolchak: The Night Stalker, and Martial Law. Show music by HeartBeatHero and OGRE. Support the show!

Today on the 5: I was pleasantly surprised to see the first Martial Law film pop up on Prime Video in an apparently restored version. I watched it based on how much I liked the sequel, and this one did not disappoint.

Today on the 5: I watched a movie over the weekend I haven't seen in at least 25 years, 1982's Time Walker. While it wasn't nearly as scary to me now as when I was a kid, it wasn't as bad as I expected either.

Today on the 5: A member of the Google Stadia team made some comments last week that have generated quite a bit of response! Beyond the debate of what he said, I think the lack of action by the game companies on streaming monetization demonstrates that both sides are benefiting equally at the moment.

Today on the 5: Quibi, the streaming service that has struggled from day one, is shutting down. While many have their ideas on what doomed the company, I think it's simply a matter of timing.

This week we're talking about a little more about Ninja III: The Domination, The Hobbit, and Tiger Claws 3. Show music by HeartBeatHero and OGRE. Support the show!

Today on the 5: Adobe recently announced a new content authenticity tool as part of their Adobe MAX event. While this certainly has benefits for creators in terms of preventing theft, I think it's also Adobe building some insulation from a very weird future.

Over the weekend I watched the final movie in the Tiger Claws trilogy, Tiger Claws III. I am extremely sad to report it's not only basically a scam of a movie, but pretty poorly made as well.
