    Binary System Podcast #519 – WTNV #292 “Collectibles (1999)” and Beastar

    This episode originally broadcast on August 20, 2026. The original podcast post is here: https://pixelatedgeek.com/2026/08/binary-system-podcast-519-wtnv-292-collectibles-1999-and-beastars/ It’s another flashback episode as Leonard Burton tries to distract us from the fact that Cecil is still missing. This week’s trip to the archives takes us to 1999, where a young Cecil is dipping his toes into the information superhighway and spending way too much on Beanie Babies from the brand-new online auction site: eBay. Ahhh, remember when eBay was new, and the experience of finding just that right bit of ephemera was still fresh, and upper executives of the company weren’t spending months terrorizing journalists for saying mean things about them? (Okay, that last bit has nothing to do with tonight’s episode, but dear Lord, have you read about that whole mess?) Anyway, this being Night Vale, the Beanie Babies are alive, the DJ’s are surprisingly nurturing, the secret police force is useless and not paying attention, and the local pastor is trying to stop young people from being, well, young. In other news, Legoshi in Beastars is still being impulsive and we say the phrase “Shi-Shi Gumi” a lot. We’re also catching up on Better Call Saul, and Jordan Peel’s film Nope is weird scary fun. This episode’s outro is a clip from Yet Another Analog Dance Track by TeknoAXE. It can be really easy to slip into doom and despair at the state of the world right now, but there are things you can do to help. Check out Stand With Minnesota for links to fundraisers and other ways you can show your support. If we haven’t made it abundantly clear where we stand on this, FUCK ICE. Looking for a present for that hard-to-shop-for person? Want to buy them (or yourself) a square foot of a castle in Scotland? Look no further!

    Binary System Podcast #518 – Beastars and Better Call Saul

    This episode originally broadcast on August 13, 2026. The original podcast post is here: https://pixelatedgeek.com/2026/08/binary-system-podcast-518-beastars-and-better-call-saul/ On this week’s recap of Beastars season 3 episode 21 (…yes 21, we doublechecked this time it really is 21…) we ask the important questions: will Louis end up with Juno, or pine away for Legoshi? What’s up with the MMA rabbit woman? Why do the A-Team animators always handle the bits with the rats? And what the ABSOLUTE HELL IS GOING ON WITH LEGOSHI’S GRANDMOTHER? Seriously, the bit with the venom and her “thoughtfulness” made NO sense, WHY are the women on this show so dumb? After that we have some random tangents into Murder Drones, Raised by Wolves, Kathryn’s thoughts on season four of Better Call Saul, and the fact that when Elizabeth said she’d finished season one of Better Call Saul she actually meant season two because SHE IS BAD AT COUNTING. This episode’s outro is a clip from Mixed Salad by Grumplefunk. It can be really easy to slip into doom and despair at the state of the world right now, but there are things you can do to help. Check out Stand With Minnesota for links to fundraisers and other ways you can show your support. If we haven’t made it abundantly clear where we stand on this, FUCK ICE.

    Binary System Podcast #517 - WTNV #291 "Mall Madness (1987)" and Beastars

    This episode originally broadcast on August 6, 2026. The original podcast post is here: https://pixelatedgeek.com/2026/08/binary-system-podcast-517-wtnv-291-mall-madness-1987-and-beastars/ Welcome To Night Vale is back from hiatus! To celebrate (and to cover for the fact that Cecil is missing) guest radio host Leonard Burton is sharing an episode from the archives! So send your Betamax back to the store, grab yourself an Orange Julius, and make sure you have your credit card handy for all those late-night 1-900 calls, because we're going back to August 1st 1987! It's the grand opening of the new Night Vale Mall, and while certain things haven't been finished yet (like "stores" or "ceilings" or "floors") we can still wander past the freestanding escalators and reminisce about some of the ways the 80's were just weird. (Our favorite things about the Hickory Farm store in the DeSoto Square Mall were the strawberry candies and the frozen yogurt, and we will not be taking questions at this time.) Then we recap episode 20 (yes we know we said 19, we are bad with numbers) of the final season of Beastars where Legoshi is having the worst luck, and then talk a little about Better Call Saul and last weekend's GenCon (sorry you had to deal with a tornado, folks. We're glad nobody died.) This episode's outro is a clip from Analogue Restart by TeknoAXE. It can be really easy to slip into doom and despair at the state of the world right now, but there are things you can do to help.

    Binary System Podcast #516 - GalaxyCon, San Diego Comic-Con, and Beastars

    This episode originally broadcast on July 30, 2026. The original podcast post is here: https://pixelatedgeek.com/2026/07/binary-system-podcast-516-galaxycon-san-diego-comic-con-and-beastars/ Last weekend Binary System went to ALL THE CONVENTIONS. Well, two of them. But they were big ones! This week we're recapping GalaxyCon in Raleigh and Comic-Con in San Diego, going over the good (Cosplay! Cute merch! Famous artists! Amazing Digital Circus meetup!!) the bad (ugh it was hot in San Diego) (oh like 79 degrees? - Kathryn) (Yes all right shut up - Elizabeth), and the ugly (on both the east coast and the west coast the LINES in ARTIST ALLEY ARE OUT OF CONTROL.) After that we recapped episode 19 of the final season of Beastars. In short, the A-team animators are still knocking it out of the park, Haru is being stupid, and Legoshi is a total chump. This episode's outro is a clip from Rigged Game by Grumplefunk. It can be really easy to slip into doom and despair at the state of the world right now, but there are things you can do to help.

    Binary System Podcast #515 - Beastars, and Preview to The Odyssey and Comic-Con!

    This episode originally broadcast on July 23, 2026. The original podcast post is here: https://pixelatedgeek.com/2026/07/binary-system-podcast-515-beastars-and-preview-to-the-odyssey-and-comic-con/ This week's recap of Beastars features multiple instances of the word "weird". Look, we know this is a fantasy show, and it doesn't pay to look too closely into how a society of carnivores living side-by-side with potential food would actually work. But Bill the Tiger found a baby chick in his ramen, and him trying to raise it is like a high schooler trying to raise a baby that they found in their dinner, and it's actually a touching story that shows a new side of Bill's character, but we're sorry, that's weird. Also weird? HARU HAVING A DEATH WISH. That is all. San Diego Comic-Con and GalaxyCon Raleigh start this week, so both halves of the Binary System Podcast will be making an appearance! Oh, and The Odyssey is currently in theaters. It sounds like an amazing experience, and people with rage-filled criticisms about American accents and Christopher Nolan not casting the "right" people should probably settle down. This episode's outro is a clip from Indo Bop by TeknoAXE. Stick around after the outro song for two minutes of emergency sirens, otherwise known as Why We Don't Usually Record During Rush Hour. It can be really easy to slip into doom and despair at the state of the world right now, but there are things you can do to help.

    Binary System Podcast #514 - Beastars, and RIP Sam Neill

    This episode originally broadcast on July 16, 2026. The original podcast post is here: https://pixelatedgeek.com/2026/07/binary-system-podcast-514-beastars-and-r-i-p-sam-neill/ Our plan tonight was to recap episode 17 of the final season of Beastars (you call THAT a "disguise", Louis? Really?? Also, we're really hoping Juno gets a happily ever after, but man alive it doesn't look good), and we do, but first we had to talk about the passing of Sam Neill. He was one of our favorite actors in some of our favorite films, but he was also by all accounts a genuinely nice guy. Thank you for all the amazing characters, Sam, you were the best, and we'll really miss the posts from your farm. And of course, we've got the usual random tangents, like stupidly long seasons of TV, Netflix Bloat, Florida Supercon, and how you really should be nice to the Comic-Con volunteers. This episode's outro is a clip from Juno by Chronox. Sam Neill was a favorite in our Watch Party conversations, here's a few: Hunt for the Wilderpeople The Hunt for Red October In the Mouth of Madness Jurassic Park It can be really easy to slip into doom and despair at the state of the world right now, but there are things you can do to help.

    Binary System Podcast #513 - Beastars, Godzilla Minus One, and The Amazing Digital Circus

    This episode originally broadcast on July 9, 2026. The original podcast post is here: https://pixelatedgeek.com/2026/07/binary-system-podcast-513-beastars-godzilla-minus-one-and-the-amazing-digital-circus/ Yes, we know we said on the previous episode that we would have a Welcome to Night Vale recap this week. But there wasn't a new episode posted, because Welcome to Night Vale is on hiatus in July. Welcome to Night Vale is always on hiatus in July. Twelve years on and you'd think we'd remember that... So instead we've got a recap of season 3 episode 16 of Beastars (oh the angst, oh the unconvincing bait-and-switch from the end of episode 15...), and Elizabeth finally watched Godzilla Minus One so we need to talk about that. Elizabeth also has a lot of fun tidbits of information about The Amazing Digital Circus to discuss, because even the end of the series hasn't changed the fact that every bit of it has just eaten our brains. This episode's outro is a clip from Final Flight by Chronox. It can be really easy to slip into doom and despair at the state of the world right now, but there are things you can do to help.

    Binary System Podcast #512 - The Amazing Digital Circus: The Last Act (with ALL the spoilers)

    This episode originally broadcast on June 25, 2026. The original podcast post is here: https://pixelatedgeek.com/2026/06/binary-system-podcast-512-the-amazing-digital-circus-the-last-act-with-all-the-spoilers/ It's been a wild ride for the Binary System Podcast team as we binged The Amazing Digital Circus over the last two and a half months. Kudos to everyone who's been following this absolutely stunning animated series for, what, two and a half years? I think everyone can agree that the final episode was worth the wait, even if it broke our hearts at least once. Spoliers ahoy as we recap the series finale and occasionally get sidetracked by Swamp Thing, the correct use of pronouns, and Indie animators helping other indie animators. This episode's outro is a clip from Circus by Six Umbrellas. Correction: Elizabeth says the live action actors we see in the post-credit scene are the voice actors. That's incorrect, there were different actors for the vocal parts and the visual parts. Correction the second: Elizabeth should also know better than to contradict Kathryn because Kathryn was right: when Gangle walks past Zooble she grabs Zooble's hand, not the other way around. Check out the very sweet thank-you video by TADC voice actors here. It can be really easy to slip into doom and despair at the state of the world right now, but there are things you can do to help.
