Binary System Podcast #120 - Black Panther and IDW's Transformers

Original broadcast date March 29, 2018. The original podcast post is here: https://pixelatedgeek.com/2018/03/binary-system-podcast-120-black-panther-and-idws-transformers/ So the main plan for the week was to talk all about Black Panther, and we do: we get into the fight scenes and the designs and the actors and the story and how Shuri is the most badass Disney Princess ever. And then we went into what we thought would be a quick word about the state of IDW's Transformers and went into this epic rant about what's going to happen. We go from what we know to what we don't know to sheer guesswork from what we've read in the comment threads of random blogs. Seriously, if you want to see the exact opposite of investigative journalism, listen in. UPDATE ON THE WHOLE IDW TRANSFORMERS THING (Because we recorded Monday night and now we have more info): Transformers will remain at IDW, but the whole storyline is definitely being rebooted. And we’ve had word that James Roberts will be working on the reboot launch, but will possibly leave Transformers after the first few issues. And we still (at time this episode posts) don’t know WHY the relaunch is happening, not officially. Lots of speculation though. Stay tuned for more details.

The outro music this week is a clip from Nocturnia by Psychadelik Pedestrian. http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Psychadelik_Pedestrian/Nocturnia/05_-_Psychadelik_Pedestrian_-_Nocturnia Correction the first: we realized this in the recording, but just for the record, Elizabeth knows that Tom Hardy is going to be Venom, not Hellboy. Well, she knows that NOW. Correction the second: the name of the actor who plays the main character in the upcoming Bad Samaritan is Robert Sheehan. Sorry, Robert, we got distracted by David Tennant. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3203528/
