Today on the 5: After 4 (and a bit) seasons of absolutely incredible television, Evil has ended. My wifer and I watched the final episode earlier thios week, so I figured I'd reviewe what was a bit of a truncated finish to the show. 

Today on the 5: Over the weekend I watched a shot on video horror film from the '90s titled Vile 21. While I doubt it would convert anyone into a SOV fan all by itself, it's definitely one of the better example of the genre.

Today on the 5: Over the weekend I checked out the latest adaptation of the classic story of Strange Case Of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. It's titled Doctor Jekyll, and it's a fairly entertaining showcase for Eddie Izzard's acting ability.

Today on the 5: I had missed a new story about an ex Google CEO advocating IP theft a little over a week ago. Thanks to the AI Inside podcast, it was brought to my attention and I have some thoughts about what should be a very unsurprising viewpoint.

This week we're talking about Patreon fee changes, sociobiology, Twisters, and Wild Bill. Show music by HeartBeatHero and OGRE. Support the show!

Today on the 5: In fairly unshocking news, Disney has cancelled The Acolyte after a single season. The series was apparently meant to anchor a number of new explorations of the High Republic era, so the show being axed has led to some uncertainty as to what comes next. Here's an idea! Try making something good that doesn't rely on or lead to anything else!

Today on the 5: The creativity app company Procreate recently made a declaration that they will not be incorporating any generative AI into their current line of products. As you might expect, this has been very well received by many creators. For several reasons, I do have to wonder whether this stance will last.

Today on the 5: Google was recently the subject of some internet ire over some pretty strong language that has since been removed in the terms of their "#TeamPixel" influencer program. While it seems at least some of this was the result of confusion on who these terms were directed to, I'm not sure there's all that much to be upset about here.

Today on the 5: You may have seen or heard that Apple will be enforcing their 30% fee on thr Patreon platform, which means many creators will either have to raise their subscription tiers or absorb that cost. This has led some to claim Apple is turning their backs on creators. Gang, it's not some kind of targeted punsument, it's just what a big company does when it wants to make money.
