Today on the 5: On the most recent episode of Len Kabasinski's Forgotten Movie Den, we covered a 1983 film titled Thunder. While the premise might make you think it's just another Italian ripoff film, it's a movie that manages to stand above most entries in this genre.

Today on the 5: I wanted a break from the mental overload that was Mad Bull 34, so I decided to watch something from one of my comfort genres, the early 80s low budget weird slasher. I landed on one titled Mountaintop Motel Massacre. It has a lot of flaws, but it also delivered a rare selection of characters I really liked.

Once the segment concluded, I was left wondering the the purpose of it was.

Today on the 5: Over the weekend I finally got around to watching the first 2 parts of pretty infamous 4 episode OVA titled Mad Bull 34. I knew this series had a reputation for being extreme, but even so I was pretty stunned at how brutal it could be.

Today on the 5: After finishing another run through a drastically better version of Ghost Recon Breakpoint, Lando and I were ready for something a little newer. We jumped into the newest entry in the Borderlands series, Tiny Tina's Wonderlands. We were ready for a kinetic and colorful adventure, but instead we quickly found ourselves bored and annoyed.

Today on the 5: While I've been largely disinterested in much of what Marvel has put out post Endgame, I did read some really promising things about the recently released Echo. It ended up being far better than I expected, and I hope this is an approach to storytelling Marvel starts using more often.
