    Mars Express Spoiler Free Review

    Mars Express Spoiler Free Review

    Today on the 5: Mars Express has been on my radar for a while now, and I finally got a chance to see it. While I wouldn't draw the same comparisons a lot of reviews have, I would absolutely agree that it is a stellar piece of French cyberpunk.

    The Beetlejuice Cartoon

    The Beetlejuice Cartoon

    Today on the 5: Thanks to Andy Last over at Beyond Synth, I was reminded that a cartoon had been made based on the movie Beetlejuice. I picked up the complete run on DVD and have been watching it. It is way wilder than I could have expected!

    Ditch The Cute Already

    Ditch The Cute Already

    Today on the 5: In the last few days both OpenAI and Google have made major announcements about their generative models. They both spent a lot of time demonstrating uses of their products that are clearly aimed at projecting more "human" aspects. I think this is a mistake for a couple of reasons.

    The World's Greatest Sinner Retro Review

    The World's Greatest Sinner Retro Review

    Today on the 5: Thanks to the wonderful Criterion Channel, I got to watch a movie I never thought I'd see. It's titled The World's Greatest Sinner, and it's a bizarre and (I think) hearftelt expression of a man's struggle with his faith in God.

    Don't Get Angry, It's Just Bad Marketing

    Don't Get Angry, It's Just Bad Marketing

    Today on the 5: Shortly after Apple's iPad Pro even last week, I started to see articles and posts about how people were upset over one of the videos they played. I watched the video, and it's nothing to get upset over. It's just another example of how Apple has lost their marketing mojo.

Conversations about life the universe and everything else.

Been listening for awhile and this show has become like comfort food. It’s almost like 3 podcasts in 1. There are the weekday quick 5 minute topics and the main show on Friday. Maybe once a month a special guest show sprinkled in. If you’d like to listen to two besties take deep dives into the most random stuff: comics, fiction, sci-fi, cyberpunk, horror, b-movies, technology, philosophy, video games, current topics, forgotten movies and more. You’ll come away each week with some sort of recommendations for entertainment.

A thinking man's podcast

Despite oblique reference to contemporary popular art and media, the Ozone Nightmare is, in essence, an exercise in reinterpretation and actualization of the cultural forms and cliches. A contemplative, didactic approach to intersectionality and the problem of placelessness in the post-post-modern world. Original? More often than not, if sounds uttered have any place to be called original. Timely? Most certainly not; if you are bothered by trend setting, remember that history has ended 20 years ago. In short - necessary listening for any true admirer of Korzybski.

A Podcast About Anything and Everything, Always!

This podcast is one of my absolute favorites and has been for almost a decade. Lando & Joe are two of the most down to earth nerds on this planet. They entertain and bewilder simply through their weekly discussion while offering interesting points of view on movies, television, gaming, and other topics from a deeply creative perspective.

There is something I find really interesting about this podcast. Unlike many others, this one feels so authentic. At its very core, it just consists of two friends talking once a week and a quick five minute episode every weekday. However, while it might seems simplistic, they delve into a variety of topics that range from philisophical to gaming. You never know what you're going to get each day in your podcast feed. Also, if you like Red Letter Media's serious discussion on movies and television, you will like this podcast as it is very similar.

On another note, Joe gave me some personal advice on comics to consider reading since I haven't ever gotten into them before. This was over 7 years ago and I still remember it as it meant a lot to me. It helped me get through some hard times and I don't think they know just how much I appreciated it.

Please give their podcast a try if you haven't before. You might get hooked like me.
