Original broadcast date October 8, 2015. The original podcast post is here: https://pixelatedgeek.com/2015/10/binary-system-podcast-13-wtnv-episode-75-through-the-narrow-place/ Oo, the 13th episode of BSP falling on the first week of October! That's so appropriately creepy, you'd almost think we planned it that way. Fall is here, and so is the Night Vale annual charity marathon: twenty-six miles through the Narrow Place. And like so many other events in Night Vale, the marathon is expected to be lots of fun, most likely fatal, and mandatory. For everyone. Strap on your running shoes and get ready for the starting pistol (we don't miss twice) as the twins recap the latest WTNV episode and fangirl about Return of the Jedi, Danger Mouse, Joss Whedon's Dollhouse, and Andre the Giant. Welcome To Night Vale's main website is here: https://www.welcometonightvale.com/ The cool tumblr animation that Kathryn listened to during this week's weather is by misterrickletheficklepickle and you can see it here. The review of Andre the Giant: Closer to Heaven and the interview with Brandon Easton is here. Prefer your podcasts in youtube form? You're in luck! https://youtu.be/gmLD2jPSZFI

Brandon Easton is a writer, screenwriter, and educator based in Los Angeles who has written for Agent Carter’s second season, and the Thundercats and Transformers Rescue Bots animated series. He’s also an Eisner-nominated comic writer, penning Catalyst Prime: Incidentals and Andre the Giant: Closer to Heaven for Lion Forge, then most recently Star Trek: Year Five and Transformers Galaxies for IDW. He discusses his journey from passion to profession throughout his career, and the progress he’s made on his quest to ultimately fill the ‘Infinity Gauntlet’ of his favorite franchises to which he’s contributed. Brandon takes us through the differences in writing for various forms of media and licensed properties from page to screen. He also stresses the importance of inclusion when discussing diversity in creating comic books or television, and how it lends an authenticity for a wider audience.

Autumn lands #7! Huck #1! Andre the Giant! And more exclamation marks than you can shake a stick out. NEWS MST3K Update from Joel/ REVIEWS STEPHEN HUCK #1 Writer: Mark Millar Artist: Rafael Albuquerque Publisher: Image Comics In a quiet seaside town, Huck uses his special gifts to do a good deed each day. His neighbors return the favors by keeping his abilities a secret. But when a newcomer alerts the media, a firestorm erupts, sending Huck on an adventure that will change everything. This brand-new series from writer MARK MILLAR and artist RAFAEL ALBUQUERQUE presents a comicbook unlike anything you've read before. Featuring a Feel-Good Movie variant cover by RAFAEL ALBUQURQUE. [rating:5/5] MATTHEW ANDRE THE GIANT: CLOSER TO HEAVEN Writer: Brandon Easton Artist: Denis Medri Publisher: Lion Forge Comics Distributor: IDW Publishing We all know who he is and we all remember the first time we saw him: Andre the Giant, towering over his opponents in the ring, a brute force of nature with a gentle smile and breezy sense of humor, an apparent contradiction that created a magnetic attraction to his fans. True pro wrestling fans know all the ups and downs of his career and everyone else knows him as an ‘80s pop culture icon, the lovable giant in The Princess Bride. But few know the true life story behind the legend, a story more incredible than anything that could be concocted for a Pay-Per-View special. This is the story Lion Forge Comics is bringing to fans in the authorized graphic novel biography, Andre the Giant: Closer to Heaven. Eisner-nominated writer Brandon Easton (ThunderCats, Marvel's Agent Carter) charts Andre’s entire life story in an introspective first-person narrative he crafted with assistance from Andre’s daughter Robin Christensen-Roussimoff. The book opens on the idyllic farm in the French countryside where Andre spent his childhood and steadily weaves through his amateur early days in the squared circle, his rise to fame in TV, film, and Vince McMahon’s upstart WWF (now WWE), and the demons he collected along the way. [rating:5/5] RODRIGO The Art of Jose Gonzalez Writer: David Roach Art: Jose Gonzalez For nearly two decades, Jose "Pepe" Gonzalez was hailed as the premier Vampirella artist, drawing the fiery vixen for Warren Publishing in the Seventies and Eighties. Renowned for bringing to life the most beautiful women the art world has ever seen, Gonzalez's career spans from drawing British romance comics to movie stars, book covers to commercial advertising, and, of course, personal commissions for loved ones and devotees. For the first time ever, author David Roach covers Jose's entire career, transcending his vast body of Vampirella work to explore the full breadth of the master's creations. Vampirella collectors and Jose Gonzalez fans rejoice, for the life-spanning retrospective you've been waiting for has finally arrived! Featuring an introduction by fan-favorite painter Joe Jusko. [rating:4.5/5] ASHLEY THE AUTUMNLANDS #7 Writer: Kurt Busiek Artist: Benjamin Dewey Publisher: Image Comics The second arc begins. Wounded and lost, our heroes seek safety, but find...something bizarre. [rating:4/5] MAJOR SPOILERS POLL OF THE WEEK When it comes to robbing graves while seeking fortune and glory, two archeologists rise above all others – Lara Croft and Indiana Jones. But when it comes to the actual job, one has to wonder if Lara’s constant gunfire, or Indiana’s constant screaming for Marion to shut her eyes, get in the way of the job. If there are questions about their methods, then there must be a question about who is the better collector of rare artifacts?
