So of course we're going to be talking about Lore Olympus and the latest episode of Loki (not the final episode that just aired yesterday, the one before that.) But we also just watched the third installment of Don Hertzfeldt's World of Tomorrow series, "The Absent Destinations of David Prime" and we have opinions.

Spoilers for all three of these topics, although I wouldn't worry too much about the spoilers for World of Tomorrow. Even though we give away the ending of that, it doesn't even come close to explaining what happened.

The outro for this week's episode is a clip from Auto Grind by Tekno AXE.

Okay let's just admit it; until the Loki series finishes up on the 14th, this is probably going to be the All Loki All The Time podcast. And we're never not going to talk about the latest Lore Olympus episode, with all the lovely art and compelling story and darn it when is Hades going to find out about Apollo?

Ahem. Anyway, Welcome To Night Vale was a repeat this week since the show's on summer break, which was kind of a surprise for us. I mean, they take a break every July, but why would we remember stuff?

The outro for this week's episode is a clip from Waypoint R by Tekno AXE.

We recapped "Guidelines for Disposal" the first time around back in 2017, you can find that episode here. https://pixelatedgeek.com/2017/02/binary-system-podcast-69-wtnv-101-guidelines-for-disposal/

We mentioned D'Aulaire's Book of Greek Myths, if you've never read it you should give it a look, technically it's a children's book, but to this day we think it's one of the best books of Greek Mythology out there. https://www.amazon.com/DAulaires-Greek-Myths-Ingri-dAulaire/dp/0440406943

We're only talking about two things this week, and that's Loki and Lore Olympus! And the weekly SitRep. Okay three things. Loki, Lore Olympus, the weekly SitRep, and Mr. Robot. Four things. Maybe five? Oh nevermind.

Ack! We forgot to mention how much we loved the song that was playing at the start of the Loki episode! To make up for it, the outro music this week is a clip from Demons by Hayley Kiyoko. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jix-u8h4KEU

This week we're recapping Welcome to Night Vale's 9th Anniversary episode (NINE YEARS holy Glow Cloud where does the time go) which ended up being a celebration not just of Night Vale but of podcasts in general, as over a dozen shows contributed to the Night Vale universe.

But first up we've got the weekly SitRep with beers that taste like beers and thoughts on whether or not registering for the vaccine makes you lose any more privacy than what you already lost to the super computer you carry around in your pocket so you can take pictures of your friend's cat.

BUT on a lighter note we also recap the second episode of Loki, and sure, we go over all the developments and Easter eggs, but mostly we're just squeeing over Tom Hiddleston BECAUSE HE'S PERFECT. And then we get into the latest episode of Lore Olympus and the newest info on the Golden Traitor, and Hades and Persephone's growing relationship, which is also perfect.

The outro music this week is a clip from Atari Upgrade by TeknoAxe.

We haven't had a chance to discuss Lore Olympus for a while, so this week we're devoting the entire episode to a recap of episodes 159-161 and oh who are we kidding LET'S TALK ABOUT LOKI.

In all seriousness, we do get around to a spoilerrific discussion of some really fantastic episodes of Lore Olympus (content warning for a therapy session about the trauma Apollo put Persephone through) but let's face it, we had zero idea what to expect from the Loki TV series, and the season premiere somehow gave us everything we wanted.

The outro music this week is a clip from Lost in the Zen Room by TeknoAxe.

This week we recap a Night Vale episode that's all about a severed, sentient human hand, and it's not even a little creepy, it's actually very sweet.

Later on in the episode we recap a movie about several kids chatting together on social media, and it's not even a little sweet, it's actually very creepy.

But in between that we talk about the final episode of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, because it's just awesome. (And we totally ship Bucky and Sam's sister.) (And we'd like a new show that's just Sharon Carter being a badass.)

The outro music this week is a clip from Broken Dimensions by TeknoAXE.

If you want to skip all the spoilers for The Falcon and The Winter Soldier, we talk about that from 13:50 to 22:44.

If you want to skip all the spoilers for the movie Unfriended, we talk about that from 22:44 to 40:24.

Seriously you guys we're not kidding this time, ALL THE SPOILER WARNINGS this episode because we're breaking down the final season of Bojack Horseman and we're going to spoil everything. (...yes okay the final episode dropped a year and a half ago but it's entirely possible there's people out there who are even worse at TV than we are.)

Of course we never can stick to one topic, so we also discuss a couple random horror movie finds and how we need something to cheer us up afterwards, and how Twin Peaks Fire Walk With Me is NOT that thing.

The outro music this week is a clip from Mr. Blue, by Catherine Feeny

Correction: The Japanese art of repairing pottery with gold is called Kintsugi and not...whatever it was we tried to pronounce in this episode. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kintsugi

Sure, the final episode of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier dropped a solid month ago and we're only halfway through the season, but that's better than waiting a solid year like we usually do, right? Progress!

After the weekly SitRep (vaccine cards, hockey games, and stupid injuries) we go nuts about the fourth episode of The Falcon and The Winter Solider (the bit with the arm!!) and then break down the first few episodes of Bojack Horseman season six, the latest two episodes of Lore Olympus (shut UP, Leto!) and discuss how noon is a little early for porn.

The outro music this week is a clip from Lost in the Ether by TeknoAxe.

Not gonna lie, the Night Vale folks had us going for a bit when they said they had to change plans for the episode at the last minute and just answer some fan-submitted questions. Being Night Vale, things get a lot more complicated, very fast. This one's up there with our favorite episodes now; it starts with a quirky email, and ends with Welcome to Night Vale creator Joseph Fink questioning the very nature of reality.

After the recap we also talk about the latest Welcome To Night Vale live show "All Hail" (ALL HAIL). And we would talk more about The Falcon and The Winter Soldier, but we're bad at TV and haven't watched more than the first few episodes. In better news we have started watching Love Death + Robots Volume 2, Elizabeth's on the final season of Legion, Kathryn's on the final season of Bojack Horseman, and the whole family's vaccinated now so we're fired up and ready to travel across the country! (Or to the hardware store. We're not picky.)

The outro music this week is a clip Auto Vision by TeknoAxe.

If anyone's still wondering, the episode Jeffery was talking about as one of his favorites is in fact the one with the fidelipac cartridge, which we talked about waaaay back in 2015 in this recap here. https://pixelatedgeek.com/2015/05/night-vale-recap-episode-67-best-of/

This week we’re just drooling about all the things we want to do once we’re fully vaccinated (haircuts and craft stores, we know how to party) and then we jump into a spoileriffic recap of Bojack Horseman season 5, complete with our favorite stunt casting!

The Bojack Horseman bit ended up going on a little longer than expected because we started talking about Hollywood predators and the imbalance of power and how many times do we gotta cancel Joss Whedon before HE JUST GOES AWAY. But then we pulled it back with the adorableness of this week’s Lore Olympus (except for Leto. Ugh, go away Leto.)

After that we wrap up with the results of the MST3K Kickstarter (short version: 6.5 MILLION BABY WOO!), Felicia Day’s Zoom personality (she turns herself into a potato hee hee hee) and how we hope the upcoming season of Love Death + Robots has less vulnerable boobs and more tough women boobs.

The outro this week is a clip from Destination Sky by TeknoAxe.

Correction: the actor who played Cyborg in Justice League is Ray Fisher, and he deserved better than to put up with Joss Whedon’s manbaby crap.Here’s Kathryn’s Instagram account, https://www.instagram.com/fandragonadams/ her theme for this year’s Brooklyn Art Library Sketchbook is fan art!
