Today on the 5: Valve surprised everyone with the announcement of Half-Life: Alyx, a VR exclusive set between the first and second HL games. This has understandably disappointed many fans, but I'm just happy to see Valve still has interest in the series.

Today on the 5: After the disappointing third movie in the Coffin Joe series, I moved onto the Rutger Hauer vehicle Wanted: Dead Or Alive. I hoped this movie would wipe out the bad taste from the previous movie, and it delivered big time!

Today on the 5: I watched the third installment of the Coffin Joe trilogy, Embodiment Of Evil. I wish I could tell you it was a rousing finale to the series, but sadly it's just a trend chaser film.

Today on the 5: I talked a bit about the directional issue for Google last week, and the more I thought about it the bigger an issue it feels like. Does Google have any idea what they want themselves to be?

This week we're talking silly racism claims, The Mandalorian, and  Cosmos. Show music by Reed Love and OGRE. Support the show!

Today on the 5: After giving up on the Mildew movie, I watched another low budget indie film called Cosmos. While it has some serious flaws, it's also does a lot of things very well.

Today on the 5: I started to watch a "comedy" horror movie called The Mildew From Planet Xonader. The word comedy is used very loosely, and I don't have to worry about spoilers because I only made it 20 minutes into the film. 

Today on the 5: Google is launching Stadia this week. The streaming game service is yet another Google property that seems like a diversion that the company will tire of quickly.

Today on the 5: Marvel and Disney are laying out the larger plans for the MCU, and that future appears to be increasingly interconnected. I wonder if that approach to the universe will introduce some storytelling problems down the road.
