Today on the 5: For our movie review this week, Lando and I watched Black Cat 2, the 1992 sequel to Black Cat. You'll find sharply divided opinions on whether the first movie or the sequel is superior, but in my view it all comes down to what kind of movie you're in the mood for.

Today on the 5: I was looking through the magnificent Criterion Channel film selections and saw one titled Gypsy 83. I'm not typically much of a "coming of age" film person, but this looked different and since it's Pride month, I figured why not see how it is. Turns out, it's pretty good!

Today on the 5: There's a lot of back and forth online right now over a supposed quote from David Lynch. Whether it's true or not will likely never be known, but if he did say it I think it makes complete sense. AI IS just a pencil!

Today on the 5: You've likely heard self-important tech blowhards talk about creating the "Everything App", a concept that is incredibly stupid and likely impossible. Surf social is trying to so something smarter by trying to collate only similar things in one place.

TRoday on rhe 5: Between the latest episode of Everyday People and one of the newer RLM videos, I started thinking about how people might react to the probably increasing flood of junky AI video. Is it possible we'll see demand for a video focused version of something we're already pretty familiar with: the ad blocker.

Today on the 5: About 6 months back I picked up the AirFly Pro 2, a product that is generally used by travelers but had one particular feature that made it appealing to me. The AP2 is typically used as a way to send audio to 2 Bluetooth devices at once, but I use it in the reverse and it's fantastic!

Today on the 5: OnePlus recently announced they will be retiring the Alert Slider that has been a hallmark of their phones for over a decade. The new button has the now expected "AI first" angle, which in my initial reading was a negative. After taking the time to look into it more cloesly, I think this change might be a great update.
