The original podcast post is here: https://pixelatedgeek.com/2025/10/binary-system-podcast-479-we-watched-heretic-and-mayor-of-kingstown/In our continuing series "Elizabeth And Kathryn Watch Things That Are Less Than A Year Old", this week we watched 2024's Heretic (came out last November, just under a year, still counts!) It's a brilliantly creepy, slow burn of a film, Hugh Grant somehow manages to be charming and terrifying at the same time, and the plot is...well we're not going to spoil the plot because you really need to see this one.What we are going to spoil is everything that happened in the Season 4 premiere of Mayor of Kingstown. And oh boy, this season is gonna be brutal. Kyle's going to prison, Bunny's best friend is looking down the barrel of a prison war, there's a new gang leader executing rival gang members with a train, and Evelyn looks like she's realized how much she actually cares about Mike right as Mike kicks her out of his life. And since this is the last season you just know that pretty much every character has a giant target on them.Oh, and Mike still doesn't know what happened to Iris. Wonder how well THAT'S going to go over.This episode's outro is a clip from Move It Forward by TeknoAXE. Looking for a present for that hard-to-shop-for person?
