<p>Original broadcast date January 20, 2022. The original podcast post is here: https://pixelatedgeek.com/2022/01/binary-system-podcast-298-lore-olympus-and-the-black-widow-movie-again/</p> <p>Kathryn FINALLY finished watching Black Widow <em>(I was only a week behind you, doofus - Kathryn) (SO SLOW. - Elizabeth)</em> so we've got to dive into all the reasons why it was, if not perfect, still really, really fun.</p> <p>First up though, we've got the weekly SitRep, and our opinions on the <a href="https://www.vulture.com/article/joss-whedon-allegations.html" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">recent Joss Whedon interview.</a> (Short version: he's a jerk and people should stop giving him money.)</p> <p>But the big thing we've got to discuss is the mid-season finale of Lore Olympus. Massive great big spoilers ahoy! We're going to spend the next four months (and most of this episode) asking ourselves, what does it all mean for Olympus and the Mortal Realm? What's Artemis going to do? Is the truth ever going to come out? Did Zeus manage to thread the needle, or did he just make things SO MUCH WORSE?</p> <p>This week's outro is a clip from <a href="https://freemusicarchive.org/music/policy/echo-chambers/dee-dee" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Dee Dee</a> by Policy.</p> <p>We reference the fan account "Lore Olympians" a lot this episode, they have some excellent recaps and insights on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/loreolympians/" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Instagram</a>. https://www.instagram.com/loreolympians/</p> <p>Looking for a present for that hard-to-shop-for person?
