Binary System Podcast #453 – Star Trek: Lower Decks, Black Mirror, Love Death + Robots, and Godzilla Minus One

Apr 17 2025 28 mins  
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 we haven’t psyc

Binary System Podcast #452 – WTNV #265 “Labyrinth”, and Beastars Season 3 Finale (?)

Apr 10 2025 29 mins  
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, but we were stunned to find out that episode 12 was not in fact the end of the whole entire se

Binary System Podcast #451 – Beastars, Star Trek: Lower Decks, and WonderCon 2025

Apr 03 2025 31 mins  
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 Beastars, and while there was a lot of forward mome

Binary System Podcast #450 – Beastars and Star Trek: Lower Decks

Mar 27 2025 29 mins  
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 tangent wh

Binary System Podcast #449 – WTNV #264 “Duet”, Beastars, and Star Trek Lower Decks

Mar 20 2025 36 mins  
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 before, we’re not buying it. Then we

Binary System Podcast #448 – Beastars and Star Trek: Lower Decks

Mar 13 2025 27 mins  
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 and think about what they’ve done. We really h

Binary System Podcast #447 – WTNV #263 “Hysteria Land”, Beastars, and the Oscar Nominated Animated Shorts

Mar 06 2025 33 mins  
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.

Binary System Podcast #446 – WTNV #262 “The Man Who Is Not Tall”

Feb 27 2025 20 mins  
“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 Man

Binary System Podcast #445 – Arcane Series Finale

Feb 13 2025 34 mins  
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 to wrap up a series that’s beautiful, powerful, exciting, be

Binary System Podcast #444 – WTNV #261 “Brought To You By Flakey O’s,” Beastars, and Lower Decks

Feb 06 2025 36 mins  
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 that we go over two m
