Binary System Podcast #246: "Lore Olympus", "The Mandalorian", and "Black Mirror"

Original broadcast date December 17, 2020. The original podcast post is here: https://pixelatedgeek.com/2020/12/binary-system-podcast-246-lore-olympus-the-mandalorian-and-black-mirror/ There's no new Welcome to Night Vale episode to recap quite yet, so once again we go back to the well that is The Mandalorian and the webcomic Lore Olympus, with the addition this week of Black Mirror, and we've got some questions. What exactly was the face-scan on the latest episode of The Mandalorian supposed to accomplish? Why did Hades and Zeus freeze and look like they both knew they went too far in the latest issue of Lore Olympus? And who actually did murder the TV reporter in the Black Mirror episode "Black Museum" if it wasn't the executed criminal? We've got the answers to exactly none of these questions, but we do have a spoilerrific discussion of all of them. We also have the weekly SitRep with beer, and we talk about vaccines and politics (and the politics of vaccines), and the ethics of singling people out for abuse on the internet. Then we jump up and down in excitement at the new trailer for the Loki TV show, because EEEEEEEEEE! This week's outro is a clip from Jack Frost Incorporated by TeknoAXE.
