Yep, you read that right. This week in complete defiance of our usual routine we made a plan – watch Sinners – and then we actually followed the plan and watched a movie less than six months after it came out! And oh boy, what a movie! In just one film you’ve got vampire horror,...

On this week’s Welcome to Night Vale episode Cecil is determined to tell you all about his date night at this awesome little bee-filled restaurant, but his producer wishes we could stick to the Top. Story. CECIL. (Seeing as how the top story is Tabitha the Town Founder stomping around town EATING PEOPLE, his producer...

There’s a new Homeowners’ Association trying to muscle its way into Night Vale, and the residents of the Desert Grove neighborhood have a lot of questions. Will the new HOA have rules against owning more than 36 iguanas? Are abandoned cruise ships on the front lawn still allowed? And for crying out loud, what are...

It’s a travel edition this week, featuring the return of special guest Hannah Wallace! Listen in as we discuss (accompanied by tree frogs and crickets) the life and work of Robert Redford, specifically The Sting since we all sat down to watch it in his memory. Of course we also wander off into some tangents,...

As longtime Welcome To Night Vale fans and two people who love horror movies and are always accepting recommendations (with some terms and conditions*), the latest episode could not be more perfect. Not only does Cecil share some of his favorite horror movies, he also passes along suggestions from other familiar Night Vale citizens. Come...

“We’re not talking Uncanny Valley, we’re talking Uncanny Grand Canyon.” In this week’s Star Trek: Lower Decks recap we discuss Dr. Migleemo’s attempt to cook for two food critics from Klowahka (…geddit? Cloaca? Bird butts? Cause they’re birds? It is a very silly episode) while Mariner tries to get her Klingon buddy Ma’ah’s captaincy back...

Well if you know us you know we love some Night Vale horoscopes, except for the fact that Capricorn is ALWAYS getting the shaft. Luckily this week Capricorn made it out fairly unscathed, other than that whole accidental bear mauling thing. That’s just LIFE, man. After the recap we jump into the third episode of...

We watched the series finale of Station Eleven this week, only three and a half years late, that’s a record for us! (Except for when we watched Mayor of Kingstown season three the same month it was released. Or Love Death and Robots the same week it came out. We’re bad at TV except when...

Welcome To Night Vale is back from hiatus, and they’ve brought us the perfect summer episode! The description of a mysterious festival in the desert made us nostalgic for Dead & Company shows, and the description of just how horribly, HORRIBLY the festival goes wrong made us nostalgic for when Fyre Festival was an entertaining...

This week we’ve got recaps of ALL the Conventions. And by all we mean two. But they’re big ones! The West Coast branch of the podcast was at San Diego Comic-Con, while the East Coast branch was at GalaxyCon Raleigh. We spent the weekend taking cosplay photos, checking out the latest merch on the sales...

The Station Eleven episode we recap this week is number 7, “Goodbye My Damaged Home”, and oh boy. If you’re watching this show then you know why this one just knocked our socks off. (And if you’re not, well, you really should, what are you waiting for?) We finally get the backstory for why Kirsten...

It’s a bonus-sized (and spoileriffic!) episode this week because we’ve got a lot to go over. Another episode of Station Eleven of course, with gorgeous cinematography, excellent music, and a lot of questions: are the child-bombing psychos from the Museum, the Prophet, or the Red Bandanas? (Or all three, we have no idea who’s side...

First up this week we start with a spoileriffic recap of the Station Eleven bottle episode “The Severn City Airport,” where we find out how the Prophet became so intensely creepy, tho we’re still not sure how he ended up with The Book. Then we jump to an equally spoileriffic recap of the second-to-last episode...

Our journey through a post-pandemic world continues this week as we discuss the fourth episode of Station Eleven. The lines are being drawn between the people still mourning the world that existed before the pandemic, and the people born after the pandemic who will never understand how bad it was and wish people would just...

We’ve clearly been kidnapped by aliens and replaced with clones who are much better at watching movies, because this week we caught up on a show that’s only four years old, and watched a movie that’s still in the theater. (Then of course we watched a movie 18 years after it came out, so maybe...

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...
