Today on the 5: I picked up the Forgotten Gialli: Volume Seven boxset from Vinegar Syndrome based on how much I enjoyed Dagger Eyes. The second film in the set is titled Obsession: A Taste For Fear, and it aims to be a sort of cyberpunk giallo film. Whatrever it is, it's hard to take your eyes off it!

Tonight I'm joined again by Doug Bielmeier, teaching professor, musician, and host of The Process for another Late Night Double Feature!

Today on the 5: Bookshop.org is adding ebooks to their online store. I already liked that this store existed as an alternative to Amazon, but this is a great addition that should being in new customers.

Today on the 5: I've talked about how much I adored the Pebble smartwatch. After the Pebble IP was acquired by Google, that seemed to be the last we'd ever hear of the device. You can imagine how genuinely thrilled I was to read it may be coming back!

Today on the 5: Over the weekend I came across a movie that has an interesting angle in being a blend of a giallo and a spy thriller. The title of the movie is Dagger Eyes, and it managed to merge two styles I didn't think would work well together in a really fun way.

Today on the 5: I read an article about Matter over on The Verge covering efforts this year to improve the newest smart home standard. I've added a few more Matter devices to our home, so I wanted to talk about my experience.

Today on the 5: I happened to come across a pair of Aftermath and Creative Bloq articles about the highly repetitive influence of AI slop. I've talked about the YouTube issue before, and I've absolutely seen the degradation effect in the stock sites I use.

Today on the 5: I came across this piece on Vox about severing social relationships within a few days of Ant Pruitt talking about similar things on his Patreon. I think they both make very valid points onm when to cut people out of your life.
