Twin Engines Of Destruction: Gentle Arts Of Conversation Punctuated With Bloody Power Tools
Episodes
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 while.
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 of the time and also tries to diverge from it!
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 fantastic move!
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 point is in covering it anymore.
This week we're talking about IDW Transformers, The 13th Warrior, La Frecuencia Kirlian, Iron Angels II, and Mystics In Bali. Show music by HeartBeatHero and OGRE. Support the show!

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.
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.
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 things around.
Tonight I'm joined again by professor and musician Doug Bielmeier for another Late Night Series Review! In this episode, we're tackling the incredible 2020 limited series DEVS by Alex Garland.

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!
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!
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.
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.
This week we're talking about Everyday People, Everyday Shit, Fountain Of Youth, Last Night In Soho, and Visitors From The Arkana Galaxy. Show music by HeartBeatHero and OGRE. Support the show!

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!
Today on the 5: For our shared movie selection this week, Lando (somewhat) selected Visitors From The Arkana Galaxy, a 1981 Czech-Croatian science-fiction comedy. We didn't know what to expect, and I think it's fair to say neither of us had seen anything quite like this film before. It's a movie that is consistently riveting even as it goes further and further off the rails.
Today on the 5: Through weirdly accidental means, I decided to watch the 2021 film Last Night In Soho by Edgar Wright. While I don't remember having any interest in it when it initially released, it turns out I've been sleeping on a really good movie.
Today on the 5: You've likely heard about the recent shooting of some Minnesota lawmakers, which naturally has others in similar lines of work concerned over future violence. They should be concerned, because we've all been conditioned to think of anyone who disagrees with us as mortal enemies.
This week we're talking about the Louvre, photography, cleanliness, Predator: Killer Of Killers, and Yes, Madam!. Show music by HeartBeatHero and OGRE. Support the show!
