Binary System Podcast #280: board games, Lovecraft Country, Star Wars, and Lore Olympus

You can listen to this episode on our Binary System Podcast channel at Anchor.fm!

If you know us you know that we’re always interested in the newest movies and TV shows that have hit the nerd world! We just wait six months or more to watch them. Which is why Elizabeth only just now got around to watching the first episode of Lovecraft Country, and instead of watching current movies she’s rewatching Rise of Skywalker. And she doesn’t even LIKE Rise of Skywalker.

Kathryn at least is doing better, in that she and her friends played a subscription game that’s much newer: Hunt a Killer: Blair Witch. So we talk about that and collaborative puzzle games and how there’s no shame in being the team member who’s bad at puzzles and just takes notes instead.

And of course we wrap up with Lore Olympus, which is back after a two-week hiatus and dear lord the wait to find out what happens to Daphne is going to kill us. Also: GET BENT, APOLLO, GOD.

The outro music this week is a clip from Radiant Gift by Nolan Čapek.

The Avery Brewing Co. beer that Elizabeth and Wade tried was Liliko’i Kepolo.

Update: Elizabeth’s friends in New Orleans are without power and AC, but their house is still standing and they’re safe from floodwaters and alligators.

Correction: while Lovecraft Country does technically take place after World War 2, it’s in the 1950s and the main character just got back from the Korean War. And Lovecraft Country is available with a premium subscriptions to Hulu, Prime, YouTube, and HBO Max.
