Surprise! Due to travel delays, lack of any Lore Olympus updates (mournful sigh), and time (and scheduling) just generally being weird, we’re doing two Welcome To Night Vale recap episodes in a row!

We knew as soon as we saw the title that this week’s Night Vale would feature the return of Deb the Sentient Patch of Haze.

The Binary System Podcast team appears to be on a bit of a roll lately.

(Heh. Smoke ‘em if you got ‘em.) Night Vale has come up with this amazing “ride share” program, and it even has driverless cars!

In the latest installment of our ongoing series “We’re Bad At Movies But We Have A Lot Of Enthusiasm”, this week we decided to finally watch the 2014 movie John Wick. And we loved it.

Mother Lauren is sponsoring a citywide cleansing of Night Vale and yes that’s exactly as scary as it sounds.

Only three episodes left of Lore Olympus, and there is a lot going on. We’re not sure how many of the unresolved plot threads are gonna get wrapped up in the series finale (Eros and Psyche?

The Lore Olympus comic tackles a lot of issues about abuse: spousal, parental, generational. The latest two episodes are no exception, but they also don’t really need trigger warnings because the focus here is the response to that abuse.

You know how we’ve mentioned for a while that Rachel can be very, let’s say, judicious, with her plot reveals?

The first half of Lore Olympus episode 270 is light on dialog. Baby Dionysus starts the most adorable Hero’s Journey ever as he sets off to rescue Hades and Persephone.

On this week’s Night Vale episode, we highly approve of Cecil devoting an entire broadcast to Lost and Found submissions, because writer Brie Williams is very good with lists of random weirdness, unexpected sweetness, and things with TEETH.
