    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. 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 #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.

    Binary System Podcast #511 - Backrooms, and WTNV #290 "A Solution"

    This episode originally broadcast on June 18, 2026. The original podcast post is here: https://pixelatedgeek.com/2026/06/binary-system-podcast-511-backrooms-and-wtnv-290-a-solution/ We're so glad we actually went to see Backrooms while it was still in the theater, partly because it's exactly the kind of horror movie we like: scary, light on the gore, smart, just enough jump scares, and most of all intensely WEIRD. It's deliciously unsettling and we could just marinate in that uncanny anti-nostalgia for ages. But we also love that we get to see the collaborative speculation happening on the internet in real time; not just the discussions on memory and trauma, but also the questions the movie leaves unanswered: what does the ending mean? Where exactly is the entrance to the Backrooms? Was it copying Clark before he started exploring...or is it also messing around with time...? But before we jump into the Backrooms (...not literally, yikes..) we have a quick recap of the latest Night Vale, which gives us a solution to the locked room mystery, but leaves us with a few questions there as well. (First and foremost, is the solution really that hand-wavey, or is that another red herring?) This episode's outro is a clip from just laying there. by Mark Lingard. We mentioned Vaporama Vision a few times this episode, they're our current favorite Liminal Spaces artist. Some of our favorite Backrooms fanart so far is: Bojack Horseman / Backrooms mashup Amazing Digital Circus / Backrooms mashup A portrait of the director As for Portal quotes, if you look up Cave Johnson you can find tons of J.K. Simmons' audio, this is a pretty comprehensive one. 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 #510 Pluribus Episode 9, Season Finale

    This episode originally broadcast on June 11, 2026. The original podcast post is here: https://pixelatedgeek.com/2026/06/binary-system-podcast-510-pluribus-episode-9-season-finale/ What do you know, we actually managed to finish watching a season of TV less than six months late! And wow, what a season. Pluribus has had some amazing episodes, with a story that's been both delightful and heartbreaking and which never went where we were expecting. So it really means something to say that the season finale managed to be the most surprising episode of the show so far. In amongst Carol having a tropical vacation with her chaperone and butting heads with her would-be fellow freedom fighter (Manusos, snapping your fingers at someone is rude, use your words), there were no fewer than three moments that knocked us back a step, even though the seeds for them had already been planted without us even realizing that's what they were. This episode's outro is a clip from Mechanical Static 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 #509 - WTNV #289 "The Collection Plate" and Pluribus Episode 8

    This episode originally broadcast on June 4, 2026. The original podcast post is here: https://pixelatedgeek.com/2026/06/binary-system-podcast-509-wtnv-289-the-collection-plate-and-pluribus-episode8/ On this week's Night Vale recap, Jalen is being awfully understanding about being in jail for a murder his dead doppelganger (probably) committed. But a secret ally is sending clues that could help Cecil solve the case, if Cecil can stop obsessing about his stapler long enough to figure it out. And if they don't get murdered by the real killer, of course. Then we dive into Pluribus episode 8, and go over all the new information about the Hive Mind that Carol's uncovered, and how tough it is to stay stubborn and distant when an ENTIRE PLANET is nerding out about your book. This episode's outro is a clip from Entering the Treeline by Visager. Clarification: yes St. Alia of the Knife is dune. Elizabeth was thinking of Arya Stark. 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.
