Binary System Podcast

The Station Eleven episode we recap this week is number 7, “Goodbye My Damaged Home”, and oh boy. If you’re watching this show then you know why this one just knocked our socks off. (And if you’re not, well, you really should, what are you waiting for?) We finally get the backstory for why Kirsten...

It’s a bonus-sized (and spoileriffic!) episode this week because we’ve got a lot to go over. Another episode of Station Eleven of course, with gorgeous cinematography, excellent music, and a lot of questions: are the child-bombing psychos from the Museum, the Prophet, or the Red Bandanas? (Or all three, we have no idea who’s side...

First up this week we start with a spoileriffic recap of the Station Eleven bottle episode “The Severn City Airport,” where we find out how the Prophet became so intensely creepy, tho we’re still not sure how he ended up with The Book. Then we jump to an equally spoileriffic recap of the second-to-last episode...

Our journey through a post-pandemic world continues this week as we discuss the fourth episode of Station Eleven. The lines are being drawn between the people still mourning the world that existed before the pandemic, and the people born after the pandemic who will never understand how bad it was and wish people would just...

We’ve clearly been kidnapped by aliens and replaced with clones who are much better at watching movies, because this week we caught up on a show that’s only four years old, and watched a movie that’s still in the theater. (Then of course we watched a movie 18 years after it came out, so maybe...

The Welcome To Night Vale writers decided to prepare for the July hiatus by wrapping up two storylines this episode. And we can thank good-natured, heart-of-the-podcast Steve Carlsburg for both of them. The mysterious Labyrinth corporation will no longer be sending Night Vale citizens to perform illicit deeds in the desert, and the supply chain...

“My GOD the way this show delivers information…” We’ve got a lot to cover this week, starting with what’s quickly becoming our favorite kind of Night Vale episode: a Steve Carlsberg story! (Seriously, ten years ago we loved to hate him as much as Cecil did, now we think he’s practically the heart of Night...

The Binary System Podcast team has been getting a little better at TV lately, but we’re still three years late in watching Station Eleven (based on the best-selling book that Kathryn reviewed way back in 2014). Fortunately, younger sister Hannah was visiting last weekend and we needed a topic to discuss so she could do...

This week we watched three whole episodes of the new season of Love, Death + Robots (yes we want pats on the head for that thank you) and while there’s a lot to discuss regarding Robert Valley’s amazing animation, a possible origin story for “Three Robots”, and voice actors we’ve gotten to interview, what we...

In this week’s recap, Steve Carlsberg is fitting into his job at Labyrinth as well as can be expected. By which we mean he’s working himself to death, losing connection with his family, and his attempts at corporate team-building are not appreciated. It’s a grim state of affairs, and don’t even get us started on...
