This week’s Night Vale is the kind of murder mystery that can only happen in this weird little town, with dead angels, no suspects, surprise bats, and an autopsy report that’s just the coroner stabbing the notebook with a pencil while yelling “IT’S FULL OF STARS.” After the recap we jump right into the second...

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 short episode this week because we decided we weren’t going to spoil the ending of Night Vale’s latest episode: it’s such a quiet, subtle story, perfect for an autumn day, and you really should give it a listen.

Yep, you read that right. This week in complete defiance of our usual routine we made a plan – watch Sinners – and then we actually followed the plan and watched a movie less than six months after it came out!

There’s a new Homeowners’ Association trying to muscle its way into Night Vale, and the residents of the Desert Grove neighborhood have a lot of questions.

As longtime Welcome To Night Vale fans and two people who love horror movies and are always accepting recommendations (with some terms and conditions*), the latest episode could not be more perfect.

“We’re not talking Uncanny Valley, we’re talking Uncanny Grand Canyon.” In this week’s Star Trek: Lower Decks recap we discuss Dr. Migleemo’s attempt to cook for two food critics from Klowahka (…geddit?

Well if you know us you know we love some Night Vale horoscopes, except for the fact that Capricorn is ALWAYS getting the shaft.

We watched the series finale of Station Eleven this week, only three and a half years late, that’s a record for us!

It’s a bonus-sized (and spoileriffic!) episode this week because we’ve got a lot to go over. Another episode of Station Eleven of course, with gorgeous cinematography, excellent music, and a lot of questions: are the child-bombing psychos from the Museum, the Prophet, or the Red Bandanas?
