  • Turnabout Intruder vs. Cargo of Doom

    Turnabout Intruder vs. Cargo of Doom
    Jan 17 2025
    This week, Ahsoka gets a new outfit!

    Also, I guess we finished Star Trek: The Original Series or whatever.

    Kenny and Aspen talk about Clone Wars being informed by characterization established by *checks notes * yup, the prequels, they did something right.

    We also dive into Star Trek as military propaganda, the function of propaganda, and just how stupid everyone acts in Turnabout Intruder. And talk about Dr. Janice Lester and her "hysteria."

    All Our Yesterdays v. Holocron Heist
    Dec 20 2024
    ZARABETH, GIRL OF THE ICE AGE!

    Anyways, we start S2 of The Clone Wars. And Spock gets horny.

    Aspen talks about the chronology of Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Kenny gets sad he knows about Ahsoka's arc. We also get into the weeds about the "sweaty" worldbuilding of All Our Yesterdays. I mean, it is sweaty.

    And we talk about the binary of good and evil.

    What's this? Two stories about resistance and rebellion in the face of oppression? Wow that's not timely at all. ha ha help.

    Aspen, Kenny, and guest/friend/pal Mark Gerchak talk Twi'leks as the French Resistance, about our feelings, and also Wim Wenders(???)

  • The Way to Eden vs. Innocents of Ryloth

    The Way to Eden vs. Innocents of Ryloth
    Nov 8 2024
    A great episode here.This week, we talk about a truly insidious prospect: well-made propaganda.

    Aspen answers why the Outer Rim is a hot bed of destruction. Kenny talks about the original draft of The Way to Eden.

    We also talk techbros and if technological advancement could result in a Star Trek. And how will people read the almost satire of nationalism in Innocents of Ryloth.

  • Storm Over Ryloth vs. Requiem for Methuselah

    Storm Over Ryloth vs. Requiem for Methuselah
    Nov 2 2024
    Why does Star Trek's utopianism grate against Aspen?

    This week, Kenny and Aspen talk at length about where the hell the ideals of Star Trek and the cynicism of Star Wars come from. Storm Over Ryloth slows down Star Wars to give us a beautiful character piece about failure.

    Meanwhile, Requiem for Methuselah shouldn't work, but Kenny and Aspen try to figure out why.We also talk Grievous, Vader, and ableism and if art should live in a context-less vacuum. Finally, we get frustrated at Star Wars fanbois hating the Holdo Maneuver when Storm Over Ryloth has the same maneuver (albeit, much, much slower).

    Truly a F-aspen-ating episode.

  • Mystery of a Thousand Moons vs. The Lights of Zetar

    Mystery of a Thousand Moons vs. The Lights of Zetar
    Oct 11 2024
    This week's theme? Frustrating world-building.

    Mystery of a Thousand Moons feels like a latter day George Lucas episode: a follow-up ep shoehorning in unrelated thematics that never gel. It also features a young boy.

    Filoni and co. seemingly grit their teeth during the Filoni Zoni for the BTS, so you know we talk about it.

    For Lights of Zetar, we talk about the gaslighting of our protagonist in the ep. Which is funny, because the episode is literally about empowerment.

    And Kenny meets his new favorite character.
