Podcasts about Lore Olympus

In this week’s recap, Steve Carlsberg is fitting into his job at Labyrinth as well as can be expected. By which we mean he’s working himself to death, losing connection with his family, and his attempts at corporate team-building are not appreciated. It’s a grim state of affairs, and don’t even get us started on... The post Binary System Podcast #458 – WTNV #268 “Home Office” and Love, Death, and Robots first appeared on Pixelated Geek.

“ALL the Cali-class ships ALL OF THEM.” Kathryn watched three episodes of Star Trek: Lower Decks this week, and Elizabeth rewatched two of them, so she can contribute something helpful. (For once – Kathryn.) (Yes ALL RIGHT. – Elizabeth) Anyway, the final two episodes of season three solve the mystery of Rutherford, bring T’Lyn to...

This week in Night Vale, Cecil’s starting a new segment: Missed Connections. I’m sure you’re all familiar with the concept, where you throw all of your longing and regret into the public forum in the hopes that one person (or in the case here, one car, one planet, one train, or one very untrustworthy partner...

It’s poetry week in Night Vale! Let’s all pull together and submit at least a couple hundred poems each, and this time could we please not have any incidents with the menacing obelisk in the Dog Park and oh come on WHAT DID I JUST SAY? After the recap we’ve gotta talk about some amazing... The post Binary System Podcast #455 – WTNV #266 “The Return of Poetry Week” and random trailers first appeared on Pixelated Geek.

We actually DO have a Welcome to Night Vale episode to recap…but we also watched an episode of the latest season of Black Mirror. Believe it or not this is actually what we said we were gonna do, so of course we have to post a recap right away. After a quick discussion of some... The post Binary System Podcast #454 – Black Mirror: USS Callister – Into Infinity first appeared on Pixelated Geek.

It's beautiful. It’s really intensely weird, but it's beautiful. So like the title says, this week we’re talking about Star Trek: Lower Decks, Godzilla Minus One, and the newest seasons of Black Mirror and Love Death + Robots. SOME of which we’ve actually watched. (Okay it’s Star Trek and Godzilla. LD+R isn’t out yet and...

Okay, we need to address that (?) in the episode title. Raise your hands, how many of you out there knew that Beastars Season 3 was going to be in TWO PARTS? Wow, that many of you? Okay, well we’d ask everybody to check back for updates on when the second part will be released,...

FIrst up this week we do a quick breakdown of WonderCon 2025, discussing everything from the amazing cosplay to low-frills motels, with some quick tangents into Cowboy Bebop (gotta love the anime rooms at Con) and Skibidi Toilet (finally saw some Skibidi merch in the wild!) After that we jump into the second-to-last episode of... The post Binary System Podcast #450 – Beastars, Star Trek: Lower Decks, and WonderCon 2025 first appeared on Pixelated Geek.

Episode 450! That’s…kind of a milestone, right? To celebrate, let’s do the same thing we’ve been doing for a few weeks now! First up, Beastars Season 3, episode 10. This episode merits a trigger warning, since we finally get to see what led to Legoshi’s mother’s death, and it’s pretty heartbreaking. There’s also a brief...

On this week’s Night Vale we got to hear from Cecil’s former boss Leonard Burton, who’s much more than just a radio host. He’s also dead! After the recap we jump into episode 9 of the final season of Beastars, where they’d like us to believe that someone got un-alived but they’ve pulled that stunt...

The episode of Beastars that we recapped this week isn’t quite as unsettling as last week’s episode. That civet cat is still off-putting and weird, but my goodness do the animators do an excellent job with Yaya’s animation. The team that animated that zebra in the noodle shop, however, can go sit in a corner... The post Binary System Podcast #448 – Beastars and Star Trek: Lower Decks first appeared on Pixelated Geek.

On tonight’s recap of Welcome to Night Vale we learn that Night Vale’s newest attraction, Hysteria Land, is not an amusement park, it’s a theme park. And the theme is “amusement.” We’d argue that the theme is also “existential dread” and “impossibly frightening.” Arms inside the ride, kids, watch out for the dead animals. After...

“That’s a good question.” “Thank you!” “It’s best to not ask questions. Especially good ones.” If the title to the Welcome to Night Vale episode sounds familiar, we’re seeing the return of a harrowing duo from Night Vale’s past: The Man Who Is Not Tall, and The Man Who Is Not Short. And unfortunately The... The post Binary System Podcast #446 – WTNV #262 “The Man Who Is Not Tall” first appeared on Pixelated Geek.

It took two, maybe two-and-a-half months longer than everyone else, but the Binary System Podcast team finally watched the final episode (ever?) of Arcane: League of Legends. Ten out of ten. No notes. Of course it takes us an entire episode to go into detail about why we think this episode was the perfect way...

Welcome to Night Vale is back from hiatus this week so we've gotta talk about the Flakey-O’s employees as they celebrate their return from a Season of Unstoppable Churning Death. (Otherwise known as corporate takeover.) Totally understandable that they’d want to cut loose for a bit, and what’s a little grave robbing among friends? After...

Wow, we’ve got a real rhythm going with these posts! We’re back again this week to discuss the second-to-last episode (ever!) of Arcane. What can we say about this show that we haven’t said before? It’s beautiful, it’s terrifying, it’s powerful, it’s violent. We finally get the backstory on what’s been happening with Mel, but...

Second verse, same as the first: we’re back this week to talk about Star Trek: Lower Decks (the Star Trek future is the best future: good hearted and occasionally sexy!) and Beastars (okay but WHY did Louis say he was a virgin, does having sex with Haru not count? Did they actually HAVE sex?), and... The post Binary System Podcast #442 – Star Trek: Lower Decks, Beastars, and Bojack Horseman first appeared on Pixelated Geek.

This week it’s thirty minutes and three topics as the Binary System Podcast team does an in-depth recap of…okay, so the first two topics are gonna be kinda fast.

Wonder of all wonders we actually managed to watch another episode of Beastars season 3. Never mind the fact that Elizabeth only finished watching it five minutes before the recording, it got done and that’s what counts.

Happy New Year everyone! Hope everyone’s 2025 is already shaping up to be calm and stress-free and completely absent of any kind of drama.

Hope everybody is having safe and happy holidays!

Happy Holidays from the Binary System Podcast team! Our present to everyone this year is an extra-long episode, because there is just so much content.

“…the chrysalis is showing signs that it may soon open…” It’s Night Vale, so that could either mean Steve Carlsberg leaving his old life for a new one, or it could be the VERY LITERAL chrysalis with a monster inside. Obviously, it’s both, but between the thing in the cocoon and Steve’s employers, maybe we...

The first arc of Arcane Season 2 wraps up with a glorious one-on-one battle between Vi and Jinx (well, one-one-one, if you don’t count Caitlyn and Sevika fighting it out in the wings, and the Orphan Moppet who’s latched on to Jinx just generally getting in the way.) Many things are happening simultaneously in this... The post Binary System Podcast #435 Arcane Season Two, Episode 3 first appeared on Pixelated Geek.

Night Vale’s holding its first-ever Swap Meet this week, and the Sanitation Department wants to make sure you follow all the rules: there’s no money of any kind allowed, tangible and intangible swaps are encouraged, and Faustian Deals that cost you your immortal soul?

In the final episode of season seven we are talking about some of the fantasy and sci-fi romances we love are retellings! A full list of the books featured can be found below. There may be some plot point spoilers in our discussion of the books but as always with romance, we know there is going to be a HEA and our episodes aim to share the joy we take in following the characters on their journey towards it and prompt conversations exploring why SFF romance is so fantastic.

This week the Binary System Podcast team watched the first episode of Arcane: League of Legends season 2. That’s it, that’s all you need to know; we watched it and it’s amazing.

We didn’t actually plan to do a second sit-rep episode so soon. Unfortunately another gigantic event hit the US in the last week, causing a lot of uproar and basically making everyone’s lives harder.

The air’s getting cooler and the nights are getting longer, so Night Vale is celebrating with a corn maze and all the fun things that go along with it: caramel apples, pumpkins, laughing, screaming, zombies, acid-filled sharks, and existential dread.
