It’s time yet again to Social Distance the heck out of this epidemic and watch a movie together while still staying in three different states: North Carolina, Florida, and California. Next up for the Tri-State Watch Party, we’re going with the Coen Brothers’ O Brother, Where Art Thou?

The Netflix Watch Party app ended up being a little complicated, so we just set a time to hit “play” and then chatted through instant messenger. Click the jump to read some highlights from the conversation.Read OnBinary System Podcast – Watch Party #6 – O Brother, Where Art Thou?

First up this week is a recap of OUR FAVORITE KIND of Night Vale episode: a stand alone, gloriously strange list of weirdness. (Brie Williams is our favorite guest writer, since she also wrote “Guidelines For Disposal,” another wonderfully weird list episode.)

After that we fangirl some more about Lore Olympus (the artwork is BEAUTIFUL the story is AMAZING and Apollo is a JERK) before doing a spoileriffic deep dive into Devs. Seriously, if you were confused about the ending to the series…well, this is probably not going to help much, but we do unpack a few of the concepts anyway.

No Night Vale episode to recap, so this week we tried something different. We both said we were going to watch something that’s been on our to-do list…and then we watched them.

So Kathryn watched the 2007 movie Sunshine (written by Alex Garland) and Elizabeth watched the first episode of Devs (written and directed by Alex Garland, can you see a theme here?), and we took some digressions to mention the TV shows Lucifer and Deadwood and fangirled all over the place about a webcomic Elizabeth found called Lore Olympus.

This week’s outro music is a clip from Runner by Six Umbrellas (which we used waaaay back on episode 105, but we like it so we’re using it again.)

 

Correction: the guy we were trying to think of in the Devs show is, of course, Nick Offerman, who played the meat-loving Ron Swanson in Parks and Recreation, which is why it’s so hilarious to see him chowing down on a salad in Devs.

It’s time yet again to Social Distance the heck out of this epidemic and watch a movie together while still staying in three different states: North Carolina, Florida, and California. Next up for the Tri-State Watch Party, we’re going with a classic: Casablanca.

First up this week we’re recapping the fifth and final part of Night Vale’s latest story arc, as the telepathic cult from the Desert Otherworld has taken over the town. It’s a real feel-good finale, full of betrayal, mind control, and death! Yay!

After that it’s the weekly sitrep, and what we’re watching while we stay at home (if you haven’t checked out the “Irish People Try” Youtube channel, you really should) and speculate on the upcoming animated Transformers movie. (By “speculate” we mean saying “please be good please be good” a lot.)

This week’s outro is a clip from Cue 3 – Dark Dance by Soularflair.

If you’re a crafty person in the San Diego area, the Convention Center downtown needs your homemade masks to help with the homeless outreach (they need a lot more things too, but we talked about masks on the podcast.) Here’s the link to the form for donating masks, and here’s the page that lists all the other items they need. (They contacted Elizabeth with instructions on how to drop off donations, but if you’re wanting to donate and you’re not in the area or don’t feel safe doing a drop off, you might ask them about mailing in donations.)

Kathryn’s church in Raleigh believes in social distancing during the pandemic, they’re streaming their services online to anyone who would like a safe Sunday service. They also donate to the Farmworkers Ministry, helping the migrant workers who harvest so much of our food, so if all that sounds like something you’d like to support, here’s their donation page.
