Today on the 5: Following my first series re-watch of The Kingdom, or Riget, I went straight into the second series to see where it would go after the ending of that first 4 episodes. Impressively, it managed to maintain the unique blend of mundane and insane that it delivered in the first arc.

Today on the 5: My wife and I watched Glass Onion, the first in a series of planned films following the formula of Knives Out. I had some concerns on how well the elements that made the first movie would translate to another film, but I'm happy to say we had a great time with it!

Today on the 5: After many years, I recently revisited the Danish series titled The Kingdom, or Riget. It's a show that clearly took inspiration from Twin Peaks and built a bizarre narrative that works just as well. Here is my review of the first 4 episode series.

Today on the 5: Many people have complained about how often Elon Musk tweets and some of what he posts. Regardless of how you feel about the person or his management, this level of transparency from someone at his level is fairly unique.

Today on the 5: Over the weekend I watched Silent Night Deadly Night 5. While I may not agree with others about it being a misunderstood classic, I still had a great time with it.

This week we're talking Not All Robots, Willow, The Believers, and Christmas Bloody Christmas. Show music by HeartBeatHero and OGRE. Support the show!

Today on the 5: Back in July I reviewed Annihilation, the first novel in the Southern Reach Trilogy. I've now finished the other two books, and I have a bit of a unique review of the trilogy.
