Today on the 5: There has been a lot of discussion over the news that Don Lemon lost a Twitter distribution deal for his interview show after he asked Elon Musk some pointed questions. While I'm certainly no fan of Musk, I'm not sure why anyone is upset over this.

Today on the 5: Over the weekend I watched Black Cat, a 1991 action film that started out as an attempt to follow up La Femme Nikita. While it still feels very much like a remake of the 1990 French film, it works very well as a Hong Kong flavored version of that story.

Today on the 5: Here are a couple of things you've likely heard someone say at some point in your life: "That's the world we live in" or "That's just the way it is". Usually, these phrases are used as a lazy and apathetic way to excuse something that shouldn't be. They also never fail to drive me crazy.

Today on the 5: Thanks to a recommendation from Roejen over at Project Archivist, I watched a Batman ripoff film from 1966 titled The Wide World Of Batwoman. It looks like it was made for $50 and a 5 page script, but if you want to see a bunch of young women go go dancing and marvel at the global threat of an atomic hearing aid you're in for a good time!

Today on rhe 5: I played the demo for Pacific Drive and had a good time with it. It was also great to many positive reviews of the game when it recently launched. I bought it, started platying it, and at first it was the same good time I had with the demo. Unfortunately, I very quickly ran into the same save issue others have, and it's shifted the game into park for me.

Today on the 5: In the latest evidence of a long slide down in quality, Roku is soft locking their devices if users refuse to accept new terms of service with a lousy opt-out mechanism. This is a scummy way of dealing with customers, and I'm increasingly glad I jumped off the Roku train a while ago.

Today on the 5: I knew a reboot of The Crow has been in the works for a while now, and I figured I'd judge it on how it took a fantastically adaptable concept and did somehting interesting with it. Sadly, the remake looks almost impressively lazy and uninspired. Does this thing have a chance at being anything besides a letdown?

Today on the 5: Over the weekend I watched Poor Things, a movie that sounded like a bizarrely good time. It was an excellent film, but far weirder and more intense than I was expecting!
