Today on the 5: Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga is finally available to rent or purchase digitally. My wife and I have been waiting to see the latest entry in the Mad Max film series, so we set aside the time and watched it this past weekend.

Today on the 5: Last week I talked about the real issue with generative AI in terms of one specific person and their views on creativity. I hate to sound like a broken record, but when story after story after story after story underlines what I was talking about, I can't keep my mouth shut.

Today on the 5: Despite the justified doubt in the initial announcements about Microsoft and Qualcomm's new line of ARM laptops, it appears the new machines are actually pretty good! If nothing else, that's great news for anyone who values having options.

Today on the 5: I am currently almost through another rewatch of one of the greatest shows that ever graced the television landscape, MTV's Liquid Television. While this series deserves a much better quality release than it officially has, at least there are ways for people to enjoy this series either online or via bootleg collections.

Today on the 5: The CTO of OpenAI recently made some comments on the necessity of some creative jobs that got a lot of people upset.

Today on the 5: I've been hearing good things about I Saw The TV Glow for a while now, so when it became avaialble to rent on VOD i jumped on it. As I've come to expect from anything attached to A24, I found it to be a powerful and well made film that's stuck with me since I finished it. 

This week we're talking about Middle English, Agenda 21, Watchmen animated, and Delta Space Mission. Show music by HeartBeatHero and OGRE. Support the show!

Today on the 5: There are reports floating around that Apple is reassessing their plans on the Vision Pro headset. While the obvious reasoning would be the relatively lukewarm reception of the device, I wonder if Apple isn't taking advantage of the AI hype mania to deaden the impact of revising what seems to be their only exciting idea.
