Binary System Podcast

Binary System Podcast Bi-weekly podcast starring identical twins on opposite sides of the USA. Find us on iTunes or at pixelatedgeek.com. You know, as they do.

Identical twins on opposite sides of the country, (one in NC, one in CA) our weekly Skype sessions accidentally turned into a podcast. Visit us on iTunes, youtube, or our home base on Pixelated Geek, and listen in as we fangirl on a bi-weekly basis over Welcome To Night Vale, Transformers, Doctor Who, and any other pop culture items that happen to catch our attention.

On this week's episode we've got the good (The Hugo Awards and fabulous hats), the bad (losing Dolly Parton, Tim Curry, and Peter Cullen in the same week) and the Getting More Fun All the Time (season three of Better Call Saul.)

Yes yes, we know we said we'd have an episode of Welcome to Night Vale to recap this week, but in our defense we are BAD AT COUNTING, and we won't be able to recap the new Night Vale episode until next week. At least we have a few other things to discuss. The good:

This week we're recapping the final two episodes of the final season of Beastars and....okay we're gonna level with you, they weren't good. But if you want to hear us get almost incoherent about how much we didn't like them, this episode's for you.

It's finally here, the last two episodes of the very last season of Beastars and......okay, we're not gonna lie, it's not great. Spoiler warnings for everything, including the rest of this description, but what the absolute hell. Why reveal the (super shocking and out of nowhere) truth about the art...

Kathryn reviews Nnedi Okorafor’s Hugo-nominated "Death of the Author."

"What better time to listen to a story than when the world is about to end?" It's the last of the main Hugo-nominated fiction entries - just in time for the award ceremony on August 30 - and what a nominee to finish up with! Nnedi Okorafor's novel is an Afrofuturist, robot apocalypse, wild family

Hugh gives Coyote vs. ACME an A, check out the review!

Directed by Dave Green, Coyote vs. ACME follows the insane underdog journey of famous Looney Tunes icon, Wile E. Coyote.

Elizabeth reviews Kieron Gillen and Caspar Wijngaard's The Power Fantasy volumes 1-3.

“Mr. Lux, is everyone safe now?”“There’s six people with Superpowers on the planet. Of course not.” When I heard that volume one of Kieron Gillen’s The Power Fantasy had been nominated for a Hugo award, I picked it up. After reading it, I immediately picked up volumes two and three. And ...

Bet you thought we were done with San Diego Comic-Con photos. Nope! Check out the giant gallery of cosplay and more from photographer Alex Dejecacion, and shout out in the comments if you spot yourself so we can tag you!

I was very happy to get back to San Diego Comic-Con, both inside the convention center and in the Gaslamp, and I appreciate everyone who let me take a photo of their amazing creations, not to mention some of the amazing collectibles on the sales floor. Please enjoy this gallery of my photos from the

On this week's Night Vale recap, the Beanie Babies are alive, the DJs are surprisingly nurturing, the secret police force is useless and not paying attention, and the local pastor is trying to stop young people from being, well, young.

In other news, Legoshi in Beastars is still being impulsive and we say the phrase “Shi-Shi Gumi” a lot. We’re also catching up on Better Call Saul, and Jordan Peel’s film Nope is weird scary fun.

It's another flashback episode as Leonard Burton tries to distract us from the fact that Cecil is still missing. This week's trip to the archives takes us to 1999, where a young Cecil is dipping his toes into the information superhighway and spending way too much on Beanie Babies from the brand-new....

On this week's epispde we recap episode 21 of the final season of Beastars and ask ourselves what the ABSOLUTE HELL IS GOING ON WITH LEGOSHI’S GRANDMOTHER? Seriously, WHY are the women on this show so dumb?

Plus some random tangents into Murder Drones, Raised by Wolves, and Better Call Saul.

On this week's recap of Beastars season 3 episode 21 (...yes 21, we doublechecked this time it really is 21...) we ask the important questions: will Louis end up with Juno, or pine away for Legoshi? What's up with the MMA rabbit woman? Why do the A-Team animators always handle the bits with the rats...
