Today on the 5: A bit of curiosutoy coupled with a very good sale price led me to suggest to Lando that we roll the dice on Gears Of War: Reloaded, the remastered edition of the 2006 game. Neither of us had played any of this series, so we weren't sure what to expect. What we've gotten so far is a truly unique experience!

Today on the 5: When Lando and I tried out FBC: Firebreak, we both agreed the game had the potential to be comething really fun if some of the existing issues were addressed. Based on recent events, it seems unlikely that will happen and I think that's a shame.

Today on the 5: I've talked before about my frustration that many generative AI proponents see no problem with existing art being subsumed into a new money machine without the permission or compensation of the original creators. Anyone making those arguments should maybe shut up until Netflix and Disney can't sue other companies for doing exactly that.

Today on the 5: As part of our Black History Month commentary lineup, Lando selected a 1976 film titled Dr. Black And Mr. Hyde. I wasn't sure what we were going to get with a title like that, but Lando came through again with a really entertaining and impressively layered spin on the classic story.

This week we're talking about Airwolf mashups, Frankenstein, Trouble Man, Killpoint, and The Spook Who Sat By The Door. Show music by HeartBeatHero and OGRE. Support the show!

Today on the 5: I've mentioned a few times before that I was reading Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, which I've either never read or read so long ago I can't remember it. I recently finished the book, and I'm very happy to report it doesn't struggle with outdated writing and is absolutely worth reading if you never have.
