Today on the 5: Perhaps inevitably, automakers are toying with the concept of making parts of your car into DLC. If consumers don't aggressively reject the insertion of micro-transactions into car ownership, it'll go the way video games have.

Today on the 5: I recently finished one of my semiannual viewings of Max Headroom. There have been discussions over the years on whether the series should be revived, with many fans being against it. I think this is the rare example of a show that could be brought back successfully.

Today on the 5: As both a backer of the Indiegogo campaign an a subscriber to Len Kabasinksi's Patreon, I got early access to watch his latest film. It's called Pact Of Vengeance, and it's a highly successful love letter to classic 80s action films.

Today on the 5: Over the weekend I watched a movie called Aniara that will be a tricky movie for me to review. On the one hand, I found it to be a well made and effective film. On the other, it is extraordinarily depressing.

Today on the 5: Over the weekend I took the time to watch a fan edit of the Obi-Wan Kenobi series called Obi-Wan Kenobi The Movie: Episode III.V. I was curious to see if this edit could manage to improve what has sounded like a pretty bloated and uneven series. Once again, my faith in fan editors was rewarded!
