Today on the 5: In a recent interview in The Hollywood Reporter, Ridley Scott suggested that Alien: Covenant would be a prime candidate for a sequel. Based on the wonderful fanedit I've seen that blends that film and Prometheus together, I'm all for it!

Today op the 5: The latest news about 23andme doesn't paint the company in a particularly good light. This shouldn't be a surprise, but it does highlight why trusting a company with your data matters and why breaches should be much more painfully punished.

Today on the 5: I saw a new documentary came up on my Shudder recommendation list titled Doc Of Chucky. As you expect from the name, this documentary covers the entire current film run of the Chucky movie series. If you're even a casual fan of the character, it's worth a look.

Today on the 5: I finally made the time to finish Adult Swim adaptation of Junji Ito's Uzumaki. While there was some grumbling a while back over a quality dip after the first episode, I found the series overall was a magnificent realization of the beloved manga.

Today on the 5: In the aftermath of yet another highly polaarized US election, many companies are putting out congratulatory statements for Donald Trump. This has drawn a lot of criticism and anger, but let's be honest about it: They have no other real choice.

Today on the 5: For a long time, I vastly preferred host-read ads over pre-recorded spots. While that's still true when it's done well, one place where it's completely the opposite for me now is platforms like YouTube.

Today on the 5: Over the weekend I was wandering through the Shudder streaming service and came across a 2019 film titled Dogs Don't Wear Pants. It sounded interesting, and it turned out to be one of the more fascinating romance films I've ever seen.

Today on the 5: After watching the latest video from Brian Quarfoth about making a followup to Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, I thought back to a discussion Lando and I had about this exact topic. I largely agree with everyhing Brian said in his video, the only difference being I'd structure a prequel as a streaming series.
