Binary System Podcast #448 – Beastars and Star Trek: Lower Decks

The episode of Beastars that we recapped this week isn’t quite as unsettling as last week’s episode. That civet cat is still off-putting and weird, but my goodness do the animators do an excellent job with Yaya’s animation. The team that animated that zebra in the noodle shop, however, can go sit in a corner

Binary System Podcast #447 – WTNV #263 “Hysteria Land”, Beastars, and the Oscar Nominated Animated Shorts

On tonight’s recap of Welcome to Night Vale we learn that Night Vale’s newest attraction, Hysteria Land, is not an amusement park, it’s a theme park. And the theme is “amusement.” We’d argue that the theme is also “existential dread” and “impossibly frightening.” Arms inside the ride, kids, watch out for the dead animals. After

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
