Today on the 5: The book selection for the next TWiT book club event is The Word For World Is Forest by a giant of science fiction, Ursula K. Le Guin. I recrently finished reading the book in prep for that event, and it was pretty good!

Today on the 5: Over the weekend I watched a movie that looked like it couldn't possibly be any good. It's titled Desperate Teenage Lovedolls, and it was every bit as awful as I expected. Outside of pure comedy value, it does have one potentially redeeming aspect.

This week we're talking about MaxKeycap, brickwalling, Assassin's Creed, and Streets Of Fire. Show music by HeartBeatHero and OGRE. Support the show!

Today on the 5: 9to5Mac ran a piece aimed at a recent Google Pixel ad. The main criticism was about the lack of humor and bluntness of the ad. While those complaints are definitely true that's not the biggest issue with the spot.

Today on the 5: I've talked more than a few times about my reluctance to use all-on-one devices, and I've also done a few 5s about leaving Roku behind years ago. Nothing has changed in respect to those decisions, but a recent story about Roku TVs breaking after a bad update requires a repeat warning for listeners!

Today on the 5: I haven't watched the 1984 film Streets Of Fire since the early days of the show before we really did movie reviews. Lando had never seen it, so we watch it as our movie selection for the Friday show. Streets Of Fire is a fun film, but it has one major flaw that holds it back from being as good as it could have been.

Tonight I'm joined again by Doug Bielmeier, teaching professor, musician, and host of The Process for another Late Night Double Feature! In this installment of our ongoing series of film discussions, we're tackling one of the most beloved science fiction franchises around: Star Trek. We're talking about every film featuring the original cast and the first one attempting to bridge the gap to The Next Generation. In this episode we've come to the end of the series with the original cast members. Get ready to hate the words "Mr. Tricorder", cause we're talking about Star Trek: Generations!
