Today on the 5: You may have heard that Reddit is having a bit of a fight with parts of the community and third party developers. Whether you agree or disagree with what Reddit is doing, I think the CEO has it right in terms of the long term impact of the current outrage.

This week we're talking

Today on the 5: Microsoft will begin directly selling parts for users repairing their Surface machines. Along with other programs from companies like Apple and the Framework laptop, could this be a slow return to the days of devices users can fix themselves?

Today on the 5: Ubisoft released a new gameplay trailer for Assassin's Creed Mirage as part of the Xbox showcase. I was already looking forward to this game, and the 7 or so minutes shown off in this trailer make me seriously optimistic it will be the promised return to the series roots.

Today on the 5: My wife and I recently watched the Freevee reality show Jury Duty, and we both thought it was a pretty neat concept. I'm not sure it can ever be done again and you always have to wonder about how truthful it is, but it's worth watching!

Today on the 5: In advance of meeting up with Len Kabasinski and doing some shows together, I watched a shot on video movie from 1985 called Justice Ninja Style. It's unmistakably a SOV production, but I think it's a cut above typical entries in the genre.

This week we're talking Hilma af Klint, Thirstastic, Escape From L.A., The Super Mario Bros. Movie, Neon City, and Road Games. Show music by HeartBeatHero and OGRE. Support the show!

Today on the 5: Apple has finally unveiled their long awaited AR/VR headset. The Vision Pro is coming next year, and it's being proclaimed both a future failure and triumph in the press. To me, both of those views are judging it incorrectly.

Michael Fisher posted on Twitter that YouTube adding the ability to append existing videos with an epilogue would be "asking a lot". I might be inclined to agree that the request was asking a lot if the division didn't pull in nearly $7 BILLION last year and constantly make moves that are decidedly anti-creator.

Today on the 5: Thanks to the fantastic TheBMovieVault twitter account, I came across a movie from 1991 called Neon City. I was hoping it would at least have Michael Ironside chewing some scenery, but it turns out it's actually a legitimately fun movie!
