5:01

Today on the 5: Last week I heard a discussion on a technology podcast that eventually covered using AI to teach students about great works by individuals like William Shakespeare. The future these folks were outling made me viscerally angry as it would essentially annihilate the value of art is service to convenience.…

Frankenhooker Retro Review 5:01

2d ago5:01

5:01

Today on the 5: The old adage "Don't judge a book by the cover" has persisted over time because it's so often true. That bit of wisdom should absolutely apply to 1990's Frankenhooker, a movie that works far better than the title and synopsis would suggest!By Joe Esposito

Murder By Phone Retro Review 5:01

3d ago5:01

5:01

Today on the 5: I came across a movie that was generally regarded as a well made thriller that has been all but forgotten, 1982's Murder By Phone. Sadly, there isn't a pristine HD version of this anywhere, but it's still good enough that you should try to watch it in whatever form you can!By Joe Esposito

It's Nice Having A Choice 5:01

7d ago5:01

5:01

Today on the 5: I saw a pop-up the other day and then came across a news post from DuckDuckGo about their decision to allow users of the their browser to filter out AI images from search results. I think this is a fantastic move from a company that is not inherently anti-AI but also seems to be trying to respect user choice.…

Hack-O-Lantern Retro Review 5:01

8d ago5:01

5:01

Today on the 5: For our communal movie review this week, Lando and I watched a movie B movie fans will likely have heard of, 1988's Hack-O-Lantern. The movie often gets lumped into "laugh at how bad it is" territory, but the most remarkable thing about it is how lame it makes Satanism look!By Joe Esposito

Beyond The Door III Retro Review 5:01

9d ago5:01

5:01

Today on the 5: For years I've seen lists with Beyond The Door III as a must-see film of the horror boom of the '80s, so I knew eventually I'd watch it. I finally did this weekend, and it went far past any expectations I might have had. This is truly a WILD movie!By Joe Esposito

An Actual Good Use Of AI 5:01

10d ago5:01

5:01

Today on the 5: One thing that people who are skeptical about AI often point to is the lack of genuinely beneficial applications of the technology. The marketing and hype often centers on the least worthwhile aspects of what these tools can do. You can imagine my shock at seeing it put to a truly GOOD use recently!…

Well Here's A Dumb Idea! 5:01

14d ago5:01

5:01

Today on the 5: You may have seen a report about a business analyst suggesting that maybe it's time for Tim Cook to step down as CEO of Apple. This follows a recent string of criticism over the struggles the company has run into trying to create a competitve AI product. The suggestion this analysis led to might be the dumbest thing I've read in a w…

Frankenstein '80 Retro Review 5:01

15d ago5:01

5:01

Today on the 5: The latest movie in our "Communal Cinema" series ended up being 1972's Frankenstein '80, an attempt at a new interpretation of the classic Frankenstein story via an early 70s Italian horror lens. If you're familiar with Italian movies of that era, you might think you know how that would go. Interestingly, it both follows the formula…

Iron Angels III Retro Review 5:01

16d ago5:01

5:01

Today on the 5: As promised, I went ahead and watch the final film in the Iron Angels trilogy, 1989's Iron Angels III. I wasn't sure if the third film would be able to match the energy and entertainment the first two movies delivered, but I'm thrilled to report it's every bit as good as trhe previous entries. All in all, grabbing this box set was a…

Why Do They Bother? 5:01

17d ago5:01

5:01

Today on the 5: I'm sure most of you saw some type of coverage of Prime Day this year. Even websites that don't typically cover product reviews created some variation of a "best of Prime Day" list. In the earlier years of Prime Day, this type of coverage made some kind of sense, but as Prime Day has become junkier and junkier, I'm not sure what the…

What Matters (To Me) In Games 5:01

21d ago5:01

5:01

Today on the 5: In the wake of the latest round of Microsoft layoffs, I've seen some interesting discussions around how bloated the video game industry has become. One aspect of the debate is over the amount of work needed to create AAA games. This got me thinking about how much or how little cutting edge graphics matter to me.…

Maybe Just Shut Up 5:01

22d ago5:01

5:01

Today on the 5: You may have heard about the recent layoffs at Microsoft, a story that you could read about just about every large tech coimpany these days. What makes this story a bit unusual was the incredibly cold and insulting "advice" one of the execs at the company offered to those affected.By Joe Esposito

Iron Angels II Retro Review 5:01

23d ago5:01

5:01

Today on the 5: Following the great time I had with Iron Angels, I was itching to jump into the sequel hoping it could almost match the first film in terms of action and stunts. I say almost since there was one big concern I had for the next film in the trilogy. Luckily, Iron Angels II manages to avoid the sophomore slump while changing a few thing…

History Of The Occult Review 5:01

28d ago5:01

5:01

Today on the 5: Lando and I ended up watching a thriller film from 2020 titled History Of The Occult for our communal film this week. I don't think either of us were prepared for how fantastic the movie turned out to be, and this was before I read about some important things never of us noticed!By Joe Esposito

Iron Angels Retro Review 5:01

29d ago5:01

5:01

Today on the 5: I went ahead and took a chance on another boxset from Vinegar Syndrome, this time for a trilogy of films under the title Iron Angels. I had a hunch I'd at least enjoy the movies, so I popped in Iron Angels and hoped for the best. Good news gang, it's awesome!By Joe Espsoito

The Ethical Fallacy 5:01

30d ago5:01

5:01

Today on the 5: You may have seen or heard about an Anthropic study that showed a large number of AI models behaved "unethically" in order to achieve certain goals or avoid being replaced. I have to admit, I wonder if these people even know what ethics are.By Joe Esposito

Today on the 5: A little while back I criticized both Nintendo and Duolingo over their anti-consumer moves. I got a question on what to usae uinstead of Duolngo, As I considered my answer, I realized that Duolingo doesn't work for me anymore, I can't honestly say it wouldn't be useful for those just getting started.…

Today on the 5: I came across a story over on Ars Technica about a court ruling that some are worried forces AI companies to be mass surveillance outfits. The ruling itself wasn't all that interesting to me, but comments from some users who filed complaints about sure were!By Joe Esposito
