Binary System Podcast #454 – Black Mirror: USS Callister – Into Infinity

We actually DO have a Welcome to Night Vale episode to recap…but we also watched an episode of the latest season of Black Mirror. Believe it or not this is actually what we said we were gonna do, so of course we have to post a recap right away.

After a quick discussion of some not so great news (the Pope just passed away, some of his potential replacements are problematic, and Neil Gaiman needs to fire his PR manager and then GO AWAY), we get into all the details about USS Callister: Into Infinity. We were both a little worried that the sequel wouldn’t live up to the first installment that came out (wow, really?) more than seven years ago. However, everyone involved did an amazing job, and the result is an episode that surprised and delighted us.

Added bonus at the end, we keep forgetting how long a free Zoom meeting is, so please enjoy almost a full minute of the two of us talking to nobody as we wait for Kathryn to start the new meeting already, God.
