Binary System Podcast #345 - Lore Olympus #227 and #228

Original broadcast date January 19, 2023. The original podcast post is here: https://pixelatedgeek.com/2023/01/binary-system-podcast-345-lore-olympus-227-and-228/ We're back home after all of our holiday and birthday travels, and on the latest episodes of Lore Olympus we...do NOT get the long-awaited reveal of what Apollo is up to and how his sister Artemis is handling it. But we do get a little bit of the origin story for Psyche. As a treat. It's another edition of the Accidental Tangent podcast as we digress during our recap to discuss Persephone's extremely healthy ideas about the concept of virginity (can everyone please just stop defining women based on how many sexual partners they've had, kthxbye), and then during Elizabeth's recommendations about the Glass Onion movie she digressed to discuss motion-smoothing. (Did you know you can turn that off? You can totally turn that off.) Kathryn meanwhile has completely failed to watch either Glass Onion or any more episodes of The Umbrella Academy, but she did watch a 2013 movie called Coherence, so the project to catch up on things is technically only ten years behind. This week's outro is a clip from Dance of the Proton by TeknoAXE Elizabeth's essay about how problematic it is to call Black Widow a slut is titled, appropriately, Well, Why Shouldn't We Call Black Widow A Slut?, and it's well worth a read. https://pixelatedgeek.com/2015/05/well-why-shouldnt-we-call-black-widow-a-slut/ Looking for a present for that hard-to-shop-for person?
