Happy New Year everyone! We hope all our listeners’ holidays were fantastic, and that the return to work wasn’t too much of a shock to the system. To ease you back into the work week, have a quick recap of the latest two episodes of Lore Olympus, which can be briefly summed up as “sexy...

Happy last-podcast-of-2023! Recorded on location in the wilds of Western Florida (aka our parents’ house) we start out this episode with a quick breakdown of Christmas, including successful hospital trips (spoilers: we were NOT stealing babies) and geeky presents, but it all goes by really fast because we’ve gotta talk about “Skibidi Toilet.” Seriously you... The post Binary System Podcast #391 – Christmas recap and yes we’re watching Skibidi Toilet first appeared on Pixelated Geek.

Happy last-podcast-before-Christmas! On this week’s Lore Olympus recap we were absolutely gobsmacked that a certain someone gave Apollo a verbal smack upside the head because it was the LAST person we expected. Merry Christmas to us! We finished up with a spoiler-free squee about Doctor Who (Elizabeth’s not caught up yet but Kathryn said the...

This week’s Night Vale episode is a perfect example of distilled weirdness, full of deadly nature walks, supermarket bonfires, and would you PLEASE stop PETTING THE WOLFMEN. GEORGE. After the recap we discuss the latest Doctor Who episodes: not that we’ve watched them but we’ve heard they’re doing well. (Other than one news article that... The post Binary System Podcast #389 – WTNV #239 “Sister Cities: Vermillion Falls” first appeared on Pixelated Geek.

Okay, not gonna lie, the latest two episodes of Lore Olympus that the Binary System Podcast team recaps are causing quite a lot of anxiety. Apollo’s plot to take over as ruler of Olympus is proving once again that Apollo will hurt anyone in order to get what he wants, and it’s stressful to imagine... The post Binary System Podcast #388 – Lore Olympus episode 254 and 255, and the Doctor Who 60th Anniversary first appeared on Pixelated Geek.

On this week’s Night Vale recap, the Museum of Natural History has made an amazing discovery, the Tomb of the Ancestors! Mummified remains in traditional Soft Meat Crowns ™ in a perfectly harmless limestone cube that just appeared in the Sand Wastes. Nevermind the floating apparitions that can melt your face off, it’s the scientific... The post Binary System Podcast #387 – WTNV #238 “The Big Dig” first appeared on Pixelated Geek.

This week the Binary System Podcast team celebrates the triumphant return of Lore Olympus by recapping a brand new episode! To us. Episodes 251, 252, and 253 have been available for FastPass since July, but we wanted to wait until episode 252 (which we already discussed before the hiatus) was available for free on WebToon... The post Binary System Podcast #386 – Lore Olympus, back from hiatus, episode 253 first appeared on Pixelated Geek.

The second season of Loki had its highs (that fourth episode good googaly moogaly) and lows (the bonkers pacing, that weird hot chocolate scene) and for a while there we were worried the series might go out with a thud instead of a bang. But in the end they brought together all the threads and... The post Binary System Podcast #385 – The Loki season 2 finale first appeared on Pixelated Geek.

This week’s episode of Welcome to Night Vale features the surprise return of Kevin from Desert Bluffs! AND Lauren, who’s sporting a fashionable set of priestess robes and a permanent frown tattoo, courtesy of an angry mob that was at least partly Kevin’s fault. The two frenemies spend the episode telling the story of Frown... The post Binary System Podcast #384 – WTNV #237 “Frown Night” and more Loki first appeared on Pixelated Geek.

Fall is well and truly here, and all we want to do is curl up with a scary movie or TV show, which is why we were delighted to get an episode like Loki season two, episode four. Never mind our quibbles about the bonkers pacing, clunky dialogue, and stupid hot chocolate; we got a... The post Binary System Podcast #383 – Loki season 2 episode 4 first appeared on Pixelated Geek.

We had to skip another recording last week since somebody failed a saving throw versus a rock (we’ll explain later) so we’ve got a lot of catching up to do. First up this week, Cecil is covering Night Vale’s first Truck Toucher contest: 72 hours in, and it’s down to the last four contestants, not... The post Binary System Podcast #382 – WTNV #236 “Truck Touchers,” and Loki season 2 first appeared on Pixelated Geek.

The Binary System Podcast team loves the entire idea of a book club, so this week’s episode is a surefire winner. Cecil has started a book club with Tamika Flynn, and their first book is Les Miserables, the original version with time travel and improv comedy troops. After recapping a bit of an adventure involving... The post Binary System Podcast #381 – WTNV #235 “Book Club” first appeared on Pixelated Geek.

That’s right, brace yourselves, this week we’re going to recap the Good Omens season 2 finale! Spoiler warning, because we remember all the cool scenes and all of them IN THE COMPLETELY WRONG ORDER. Seriously, we cannot get one thing right in the timeline, but we do know that David Tennant is one lanky dude,... The post Binary System Podcast #380 – Good Omens and Mandalorian finales, plus 2020’s “Host” first appeared on Pixelated Geek.

SURRENDER THE ANGLE! This week’s Night Vale episode is a straightforward story about a boy appearing in town who doesn’t seem to remember his name, or the concept of food, or anything earlier than his appearance in Grove Park earlier that day. The episode had some interesting and fun bits (the advertisement for SPOONS, or... The post Binary System Podcast #379 – WTNV #234 “The Boy” first appeared on Pixelated Geek.

Once again there’s no Lore Olympus this week (heavy SIGH) but wonder of all wonders we took the time to catch up on some things! Current things! Less than a year old and everthing! First up we’re recapping the fourth episode of Good Omens season 2, a story filled with magic, zombie nazis, terrible puns,... The post Binary System Podcast #378 – Good Omens, Black Mirror, Mandalorian, and thoughts on Burning Man first appeared on Pixelated Geek.

Rationalization is one of man’s most clever and most dangerous inventions. Night Vale has a vampire in town. Well, had, anyway. In this week’s episode Cecil talks about Luca and his long, long life. It’s a story about mistaking “comfortable” for “happy”. It’s about being okay with getting older, and learning to love the life...

With no Night Vale or Lore Olympus this week (T-minus 73 days till the next free episode of Lore Olympus YES WE’RE OBSESSED WE’RE NOT SORRY) we actually took the time to catch up on our backlog of nerd content instead of rewatching Arcane and the Try Channel. (…okay we caught up on nerd content... The post Binary System Podcast #376 – Good Omens, Mandalorian, and the Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special first appeared on Pixelated Geek.

There was a car crash on Buellton Avenue… Okay, you know what? We’re not exactly sure who this week’s recap is for. If you want a twisty, creepy, very-close-to-horror story with a sting in its tail then you really need to go listen to the latest Night Vale episode so we don’t give away the... The post Binary System Podcast #375 – WTNV #232 “A Car Crash on Buellton Avenue” first appeared on Pixelated Geek.

With no Lore Olympus or Night Vale this week, it was a perfect opportunity to get caught up on Star Wars, Marvel, and Good Omens. We of course did none of that and watched a horror movie from last year instead. NO ONE IS SURPRISED. Heads up for great big spoilers as we discuss M3GAN,... The post Binary System Podcast #374 – M3GAN first appeared on Pixelated Geek.

Hooray, everything’s back to “normal” in Night Vale! Science is legal again, the Weather is back, Dr. Janet Lubelle is…not technically gone from the city, but it’s fine. Since so many people are thinking about celebrating with a vacation, Night Vale has now opened their first international airport, the Randy Newman Memorial Terminal! (Yes, Randy...
