Binary System Podcast Pixelated Geek

On this week’s Night Vale recap we discuss Abby’s DEEP SEATED RESENTMENT towards Cecil. Some of it is unfair (it’s not Cecil’s fault that Abby had to be the de facto parent because their actual parents sucked) but some of it is valid (let’s face it, Cecil was horrible to Abby’s husband Steve, on the radio, for years, and still hasn’t apologized) and all of this comes bubbling out while she’s telling Cecil the story of their absent father. AGAIN.







All this is to say, Abby went from generic, faceless, “Janice’s Mom” to a fully fleshed out character in the space of one episode, and everyone involved should take a bow.







After that, Elizabeth finally saw Dune Part Two, so we spend the last half of the episode fawning over Zendaya, Rebecca Ferguson, the effects, the music, and those weird-ass fireworks on Giedi Prime because they were so cool.







Heads up: between Elizabeth’s phone blowing up mid-recording, the usual traffic sounds, and Kathryn’s computer fan cosplaying as a jet engine, it’s a bit of a noisy episode this week.

Correction: Kathryn said Steve was bullying him on his radio show. She meant Cecil.







EDIT: friend of the podcast David Leninhawk confirmed the Dune Part Three Teaser Trailer is indeed a fake, but that Dune Messiah has been greenlit.

You know how we’ve mentioned for a while that Rachel can be very, let’s say, judicious, with her plot reveals? Some of the commenters have been complaining that it can take quite a long time for anything to happen in the Lore Olympus comic. Hopefully everyone’s happier now, because a lot happened in the most recent two episodes. I mean a lot, holy cow.







Spoiler warnings all over the shop, especially for this week’s Fast Pass episode, because these episodes are extra long, and we’ve gotten a ton of new information. We finally know what happened to Persephone’s powers, Hades has finally met the little ghost child who’s been hanging around his dreams for more than ten years, and Hera…you know what? Not even getting into that in this description. Suffice to say, we have seven more episodes left after this one, and we’ve now got yet another thing for the list of Storylines That Really Need To Be Resolved, and it’s amazing.

On this week’s Night Vale recap, Carlos and Cecil hold an exclusive Art Show (ie: a family dinner so they can show off Estaban’s drawing on the fridge) and we get some of our favorite horror tropes: unreliable narrators, creepy jumps in time, and pictures that change when you’re not looking at them. Or do they? No, they totally do. (Keep your eye on the owls.)







After that Elizabeth goes over this year’s WonderCon (short version: it rained the whole time, but you can’t keep the cosplayers down) and Kathryn gives an enthusiastic thumbs up to Dune Part 2. (Make sure you get good seats, you’ll want to see everything because man alive is it pretty.)







Before we wrap up we also mention how Lore Olympus is ending at episode 280 and if we don’t get the resolution to at least seven different plotlines we’re going to be cross. (Unless she’s just moving from Webtoons to another format, in which case shut up and take our money.)

The first half of Lore Olympus episode 270 is light on dialog. Baby Dionysus starts the most adorable Hero’s Journey ever as he sets off to rescue Hades and Persephone. The cuteness balances out the second half of the episode, with images of Hades dealing with his worst nightmare: being a child at the mercy of his father Kronos. No physical abuse (in this episode anyway), but still, bleak.







Episode 271 jumps to Hera and Persephone in Tartarus, preparing to take on Kronos. Hera is obviously ready to sacrifice herself, but there’s still some hope; Hera’s skills at conversation can make even a titan stop and think for a bit, and Persephone has already demonstrated that she now has the power to make a god bleed.







Not much else going on in the nerd world right now, so we talk for a bit about the latest developments with the Royal Family (get well soon), and about the plans for the next Fyre Festival. And by “plans” we mean McFarland is releasing commercials and selling tickets less than a year before a festival that isn’t even 1% ready to go. Again. Everybody stock up on popcorn, the “Fyre2” documentary is gonna be wild.

Correction: At around minute 9:42 “Zeus” is accidentally referred to as “Hades”. And neither of us noticed.

On the latest episode of Welcome to Night Vale, Kevin the Younger is determined to kill Kevin the Older, so he’s used Carlos’ lab to open a portal to the Desert Otherworld. Cecil wants to tell the story, Tamika wants to stop the bloodshed, and Carlos wants everyone to PLEASE be careful of the beakers they’re fragile and can we oh COME ON what did I JUST SAY?







After the recap we talk about The Crown, both the Netflix show that just wrapped up and the ridiculous goings on with the Royal Family in the real world. (Not to make light, we hope everyone’s okay, but maybe for the sake of the empire we could have fewer crappy Photoshop images and people screwing around on their spouses, kaythnxbye.)







In addition to all that we have the usual tangents into Pie-in-the-Sky cosplay plans, reading summaries of horror movies you’re too chicken to watch, catching up with Marvel TV, Legends and Lattes, Paul Atreides being more of a tragic figure than a villain in the book, and whether or not greek yogurt on hot dog buns would be nice.

There’s a great big ceremony that happens every year, you may have heard of it? The Oscars? Anyway, the Binary System Podcast didn’t watch it, but they do have lots of opinions about the winners. (And some of the ones that didn’t win. You guys, have you seen Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse?)







And of course we also recap two episodes of Lore Olympus. Apollo’s plot to force Persephone to marry him is basically The Patriarchy in its purest form. Fortunately Persephone has someone on her side: EVERYONE. (Bonus: Hera throws a “yo mama” at Apollo and it’s perfect.)
