Binary System Podcast #387 - WTNV #238 "The Big Dig"

This episode originally broadcast on November 30, 2023, the original podcast post is here: https://pixelatedgeek.com/2023/11/binary-system-podcast-387-wtnv-238-the-big-dig/ On this week's Night Vale recap, the Museum of Natural History has made an amazing discovery, the Tomb of the Ancestors! Mummified remains in traditional Soft Meat Crowns (tm) in a perfectly harmless limestone cube that just appeared in the Sand Wastes. Nevermind the floating apparitions that can melt your face off, it's the scientific discovery of the century! In other words AAAAAAAAAAA. Anyway, after the recap Elizabeth briefly touches on the first half of the final season of The Crown (very interesting, bit of weirdness in the fourth episode but not bad at all) and Kathryn discusses the A24 film X (it's like a 1970s slasher film if it was done really, really well) and then we wrap up with Disney+'s' acquisition of Doctor Who, bubblewrap-themed photos, Transformers fatigue and "robof*ckers." This week's outro is a clip from Insomnia by Beat Mekanik. For a month of dragon drawings, check out the Dragonfall Drawing Challenge, or visit Kathryn or Elizabeth's instagram pages. We mentioned that "Todd in Shadows" is a great youtube channel, definitely check out his Top 10 Worst Hit Songs playlist for some good snarky fun. Elizabeth was right: the guy everybody's shipping Mirage with in Rise of the Beasts is Anthony Ramos, who you'll know from Hamilton and In the Heights. And no, ALL of Doctor Who won't be available on Disney+, just the very newest stuff. Looking for a present for that hard-to-shop-for person?
