Today on the 5: My wife and I finished the fifth season of What We Do In The Shadows. As before, I used her as a way to measure what a normal viewer would think of the show. Here's my review of the overall season including her thoughts on it.

Today on the 5: An opinion piece over on Polygon is positoned as being against video game series like Mortal Kombat rebooting their stotyerlines. While I agree that reboots can be terrible, they're not always awful. 

Today on the 5: I came across a Swedish horror movie from 2018 titled Black Circle. I couldn't find any way to watch it other than buying it, so I decided to roll the dice on it. It ended up being a really great film.

This week we're talking about Destro, Star Trek, Baldur's Gate 3, Prey (2017), and The Asphyx. Show music by HeartBeatHero and OGRE. Support the show!

Today on the 5: I've been watching a number of John Carpenter films pretty closey together to prep for some upcoming shows. As a result, I've noticed something about his movies that I never quite picked up on before.

Today on the 5: My wife and I are midway through watching the latest season of What We Do In  The Shadows. Having rewatched all the previous seasons before starting the current one, I've picked up on a change in how the show feels. 

Today on the 5: Many years after release and thanks to a great System Shock review I watched, I finally got around to playing 2017's Prey. I just finished it, and it was a truly fantastic experience. If you passed this one by like I did and you enjoy a game where your chocies matter, go play it!

Today on the 5: I watched a selection from my long list of pending films titled The Asphyx. It's a magnificent example of classic gothic horror, and I can't recommend it highly enough.

This week we're talking about the New York Renaissance Faire, Baldur's Gate 3, Ahsoka, Ant-Man And The Wasp: Quantumania, Necronomicon: Book Of The Dead, and Seven. Show music by HeartBeatHero and OGRE. Support the show!

Today on the 5: I came across an article on Wired talking about distrust of the US Congress and the possible impact of generative AI on that distrust. The real problem is that these generative tools aren't causing distrust, they're just magnifying what's already there.
