Binary System Podcast #443 – Arcane, Star Trek: Lower Decks, and Bojack Horseman

Jan 30 2025 37 mins  
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 we stil

Binary System Podcast #442 – Star Trek: Lower Decks, Beastars, and Bojack Horseman

Jan 23 2025 31 mins  
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 fangirling about the 1980s cartoon Mighty Orbots (yes it’s often silly b

Binary System Podcast #441 – Star Trek: Lower Decks, Beastars, and Arcane

Jan 16 2025 30 mins  
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. Kathryn watched Season 2 Episode 6 of Star Trek: Lower Decks (foley artists, take a bow), and Elizabeth and Kathryn both watched Season 3 Episode 3 of Beastars (“Shit gets weird.”) But what we r

Binary System Podcast #440 – Beastars and Star Trek Lower Decks

Jan 09 2025 26 mins  
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. (Keep telling yourself that, slacker. ~ Kathryn) (Oy! ~ Elizabeth) After recapping the various Beastars heartbreaks (poor Juno just can’t catch a

Binary System Podcast #439 – WTNV #260 “The December Monologues”

Jan 02 2025 21 mins  
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. This week’s recap is actually way late, but we’ve got to get through a whole month of Welcome To Night Vale being on hiatus, so why not wait until January to cover a story with December in the title? The three monologues th

Binary System Podcast #438 – Holiday Travel Edition

Dec 26 2024 8 mins  
Hope everybody is having safe and happy holidays! This week’s episode is super short because one: at time of recording we were on the road, and two: we haven’t caught up with much In the way of TV, movie, and books this week. Elizabeth’s only finished the second to last episode of Star Trek Lower Decks, most of Blue Eye Samurai, and the Beetlejuice sequel, and Ka

Binary System Podcast #437 Arcane Season Two, Beastars Season 3 episode 1

Dec 19 2024 47 mins  
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 final season of Beastars dropped while we were looking the other way, so we have to talk about the first episode and how this season seems to be tackling some really serious themes, like how segregation may only provide temporar

Binary System Podcast #436 – WTNV #259 “Chrysalis,” and Star Trek: Lower Decks

Dec 12 2024 21 mins  
“…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 should go stand somewhere else. Af

Binary System Podcast #435 Arcane Season Two, Episode 3

Nov 28 2024 22 mins  
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 episode, what with Jayce and Co trying to figure out

Binary System Podcast #434 – WTNV #258 “Swap Meet,” Arcane, and Ren Faires

Nov 21 2024 28 mins  
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? Those are perfectly acceptable, go talk to the demons in the booth by the fuzzy blankets. After the
