Today on the 5: To finish out "Kai-June", we went with a pair of creature packed Godzilla classics with Destroy All Monsters and Godzilla, Mothra And King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack. Both movies are a lot of fun and jammed with the magic that only vintage Godzilla films can deliver, but one of the movies delivered something we don't usually see.

Today nn the 5: Barring any unlikely merger blocks, Roku is likely to be taken over by Fox Corporation. It's a sad but entirely predictable end for a company that was a trailblazer in the early days of streaming boxes.

Today on the 5: I read an article over on Aftermath covering the unexpected success of a game titled Forbidden Solitaire. Based on the premise, the very positive reviews and the cheap price, I picked it up. I've played it for a bit now, and I've been enjoying it immensely.

Today on the 5: Thanks to a YouTube channel titled Liminal Spaces, I read You're All Alone by Fritz Leiber. It's a wonderful novella that feels a lot like a Philip K. Dick story, except without the overwhelming doom and paranoia!
