Binary System Podcast #446 – WTNV #262 “The Man Who Is Not Tall”

“That’s a good question.”

“Thank you!”

“It’s best to not ask questions. Especially good ones.”

If the title to the Welcome to Night Vale episode sounds familiar, we’re seeing the return of a harrowing duo from Night Vale’s past: The Man Who Is Not Tall, and The Man Who Is Not Short. And unfortunately The Man Who Is Not Tall is now…Steve Carlsburg. Yes, Cecil’s beloved brother-in-law has taken on a dangerous new job, and Cecil has questions.

After a recap were we discuss the rules of childhood games that scared the crap out of us, and also Cecil bemoaning the loss of decorum (I mean, Cloud Perverts? Really?), the Binary Podcast System team also talk about Season 3 Episode 7 of Beastars (which Kathryn hasn’t seen), and the 2025 Oscar-Nominated Animated Shorts (which Elizabeth hasn’t seen), and then take a brief digression to talk about The Menu, which we’ve both seen and talked about it at length already but come on, it just dropped on Netflix and how can we resist?
