Binary System Podcast #380 - Good Omens and Mandalorian finales, plus 2020's "Host"

Original broadcast date September 28, 2023. The original podcast post is here: https://pixelatedgeek.com/2023/09/binary-system-podcast-380-good-omens-and-mandalorian-finales-plus-2020s-host/ That's right, brace yourselves, this week we're going to recap the Good Omens season 2 finale! Spoiler warning, because we remember all the cool scenes and all of them IN THE COMPLETELY WRONG ORDER. Seriously, we cannot get one thing right in the timeline, but we do know that David Tennant is one lanky dude, Michael Sheen's got the most expressive face in the biz, and Neil Gaiman needs to be flogged for breaking our frigging hearts. Okay fine not flogged but talked to very sternly. (Can someone tell us a season 3 is confirmed so we'll feel better PLEASE?) After that Kathryn gives a spoiler-free commentary on the Mandalorian season 3 finale (in short: it's absolutely everything she wants in a Star Wars show) and touches briefly on 2020's Host, which gets compared to 2014's Unfriended a lot, maybe unfairly? They're doing very different things and they both do them very well. (Except Host is definitely scarier.) This week's outro is a clip from Swing Party by Beat Mekanik. Elizabeth's review of Saga #66 is here. You can find the ScreenRant article about the significance of Crow Road in Good Omens here. Looking for a present for that hard-to-shop-for person?
