The Welcome To Night Vale writers decided to prepare for the July hiatus by wrapping up two storylines this episode. And we can thank good-natured, heart-of-the-podcast Steve Carlsburg for both of them. The mysterious Labyrinth corporation will no longer be sending Night Vale citizens to perform illicit deeds in the desert, and the supply chain...

“My GOD the way this show delivers information…” We’ve got a lot to cover this week, starting with what’s quickly becoming our favorite kind of Night Vale episode: a Steve Carlsberg story! (Seriously, ten years ago we loved to hate him as much as Cecil did, now we think he’s practically the heart of Night...

The Binary System Podcast team has been getting a little better at TV lately, but we’re still three years late in watching Station Eleven (based on the best-selling book that Kathryn reviewed way back in 2014). Fortunately, younger sister Hannah was visiting last weekend and we needed a topic to discuss so she could do...

This week we watched three whole episodes of the new season of Love, Death + Robots (yes we want pats on the head for that thank you) and while there’s a lot to discuss regarding Robert Valley’s amazing animation, a possible origin story for “Three Robots”, and voice actors we’ve gotten to interview, what we...

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.

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!

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.

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, 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?

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!)

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.

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!

The episode of Beastars that we recapped this week isn’t quite as unsettling as last week’s episode.

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...

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.

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.

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?
