Yep, you read that right. This week in complete defiance of our usual routine we made a plan – watch Sinners – and then we actually followed the plan and watched a movie less than six months after it came out! And oh boy, what a movie! In just one film you’ve got vampire horror,... The post Binary System Podcast #477 – We watched Sinners first appeared on Pixelated Geek.

But we do go off on a lot of tangents like ranch dressing, horror movie plans, and Chat GPT getting its poor fee fees hurt GET OVER YOURSELF, Open AI, at this point you're just three ponzi schemes in a trench coat.This episode's outro is a clip from Work it Out by 1000 Handz.This is Sag-Aftra's statement about Tilly Norwood the AI “actress” and how its creators can go jump in a lake.Looking for a present for that hard-to-shop-for person?

Will the new HOA have rules against owning more than 36 iguanas? Are abandoned cruise ships on the front lawn still allowed? And for crying out loud, what are the homeowners dues going to be? This being Night Vale – where all government conspiracies are true – the reality is going to be much worse than you think.Having an entire episode devoted to HOA's led to a discussion about what they actually do, and whether or not having something in place to prevent trashy lawns and hoarder houses is worth having someone checking to see if your lawn is more than eight inches high. Sharon. Not a long discussion tho', because what we really want to talk about is that Elizabeth finally watched the second John Wick movie (excellent fight choreography, kiiinda missing the spark of the first in the series), and Kathryn finally watched The Substance (which is a great movie, don't get me wrong, but it's kiiinda hard to recommend it because dear Lord that last scene what did I just watch?)This episode's outro is a clip from Upward Spiral by TeknoAXE.Looking for a present for that hard-to-shop-for person?
