Today on the 5: I saw news that a years long project to present a more polished version of Alien ³ had released their cut of the divisive film. Lando and I checked it out, and it's absolutely the best version of the movie either of us have seen.

Today on the 5: Aftermath recently ran a great article talking about why the work put into animation deserves more recognition. As someone who has often said this art form is criminally overlooked, I couldn't agree more.

Today on the 5: I saw a list of books that were recommended for fans of the AppleTV series Severance. and thought I'd have a look for something new to read. One of them, also titled Severance, has next to nothing to do with the show but sounded interesting anyway. I've read it, and it has definitely stuck with me.

Today on the 5: Late last year a fantastic art book was released titled WipEout Futurism: The Graphic Archives. It's one of the best art books I've ever seen, and it details just about as much as you could reasonably hope for in covering one of the lovingly designed video game series around.

Today on the 5: I've always loved the title of the manga / anime series Silent Möbius, but I actually checked any of it out because the subject matter just didn't seem like my thing.

Today on the 5: You may have heard that there is a bit of a trade war happening with the US right now. One potential benefit of this game of tariff chicken might be that people examine how they buy things. Not something I feel was intentiional, but that's how unintended consequences work sometimes.

Today on the 5: You likely know friend of the show Ant Pruitt from his guest spots on our show and my 5 on his podcast. It so happens Mr. Pruitt is married to an equally creative artist, Phoebe Pruitt, who creates wonderful pieces called "Plabntastic Potheads".

Today on the 5: Rebellion recently released their first non Sniper Elite game in quite a few years, a survival action game titled Atomfall. While comparisons to Fallout are somewyat ninevitable, this game stands out by having a setting and atmosphere I don't get see very often.
