Binary System Podcast #422 - WTNV #252 "Paid Programming," and Poker Face.

This episode originally broadcast on August 29, 2024, the original podcast post is here: https://pixelatedgeek.com/2024/08/binary-system-podcast-422-wtnv-252-paid-programming-and-poker-face/ We knew as soon as we saw the title that this week's Night Vale would feature the return of Deb the Sentient Patch of Haze. But we assumed she'd be hawking several things, instead of just two: a spray that may or may not repel Librarians, and a teleporter that may or not make people explode. Supplies are limited, order today, satisfaction most definitely NOT guaranteed. After that we jump into an in-depth and VERY SPOILERIFFIC recap of the final episode of Poker Face season 1, which had everything we wanted: plot twists, stunt casting, bridal shower escapes, and penis rings. (Not like THAT.) Finally we wrap up with a quick mention of the first few episodes of the final season of Umbrella Academy (Netflix Bloat has already set in, also dear lord the barfing scene in episode two) and some complaints about streaming services (if we want to just pay for one episode you should let us so PLEASE TAKE OUR FREAKING MONEY.) This week's outro is a clip from A Crime in Progress by John Bartmann. Correction: Poker Face season 2 has been confirmed. It was confirmed in February. February 2023. No, we don't know where we've been either. Looking for a present for that hard-to-shop-for person? Want to buy them (or yourself) a square foot of a castle in Scotland? Look no further!
