Today on the 5: I picked up Star Wars: Outlaws during a recent PSN sale, and have been playing it in short burst sessions for the last few weeks. For a game that seemed to come and go without much love or hate, I have to say I'm enjoying it as some of the best Star Wars related material in a long while.

Today on the 5: For the latest selection in TWiT's "Stacey's Book Club" series, I read A Psalm For The Wild-Built by Becky Chambers. This might be the most fun I've had reading a book in a very long time!

Today on the 5: As part of "May-be It Won't Suck" month, we watched a 1994 movie I just barely remember titled Dark Angel: The Ascent. Starting a Full Moon production is always a dice roll, but this movie rises above budgetary limitations by presenting a "Heaven & Hell" story that works very differently than you might expect.

This is the bonus content with Andy Last of Beyond Synth that would originally have been exclusive to Patreon. Seeing as how that platform is busy figuring out new ways of flushing their value to creators down the toilet, I figured I'd just post it on the main feed. Enjoy!

Today on the 5: As part of our "May-be It Won't Suck" month, we watched a movie neither had seen in a good 30+ years, 1986's Eliminators. This is story of a group of various warriors coming together to battle a mad scientist, or at least that's what it's trying to be. While the movie has a few flaws, it also does a few things that are remarkably better than other movies of the era.

Today on the 5: As part of "May-be It Won't Suck" month, we watched a 1983 science fiction film titled Spacehunter: Adventures In The Forbidden Zone. It had been a long time since either of us had seen it, and we were both delighted to find it holds up as a fantastic piece of practical filmmaking!

Today on the 5: Last week IndyCar posted and then quickly removed a shirt for sale in celebration of their upcoming "Freedom Race 250" event. Having looked at the shirt design and the company employees that had to be involved in approving it, it becomes hard not to make some concrete determinations about the motives behind it.

Today on the 5: If you're a Patreon member, you may have noticed that our content changed pretty signifcantly last week. That was the result of finding out the scummy direction Patreon is going in regards to age verification.
