  • The Hidden Enemy vs. The Mark of Gideon

    The Hidden Enemy vs. The Mark of Gideon
    Sep 27 2024
    The Hidden Enemy changes the game for the Clones.

    And The Mark of Gideon is an episode.

    Aspen loves Detective Obi-Wan and Detective Anakin. Kenny loves bureaucracy. Aspen has a big crush on Asajj Ventress.

    And we wonder why Mark of Gideon didn't lean into any of the many ideas it brought up.

  • Extended Ep: Trespass v. Let That Be Your Last Battlefield (feat. Jessie Earl!)

    Extended Ep: Trespass v. Let That Be Your Last Battlefield (feat. Jessie Earl!)
    Sep 21 2024
    Aspen and Kenny are joined by the illustrious Jessie Earl - you might know her from her entire job being Star Trek (and a lot of Star Wars too!).

    The trio discuss how this week's Star Trek is ironically on point about race by demonstrating the dangers of centrist, respectability politics. We also talk about how it’s nice to see the Jedi be more than space cops (AJAB).

    Not only do we discuss our episodes of the day, the Patreon portion of the conversation was too good not to share on the regular feed. You lucky dogs.

  • Whom Gods Destroy vs. Defenders of Peace

    Whom Gods Destroy vs. Defenders of Peace
    Sep 16 2024
    Aspen hates Whom Gods Destroy. Kenny loves Defenders of Peace (and so does Aspen).

    Is the Galactic Republic a strictly American analog? We also discuss the nature of conflict. Also, Uhura, Sulu, and Chekov are constantly undercut. Why is that?

  • Jedi Crash vs. Elaan of Troyius

    Jedi Crash vs. Elaan of Troyius
    Sep 6 2024
    What does it mean to sacrifice one life over 1000? And what does it mean to be a horny Helen of Troy analog?


    Aspen talks about the nature of empathy. And Kenny talks about Lajos Egri. You know, Lajos Egri? Everyone knows!

  • The Empath vs. Gungan General

    The Empath vs. Gungan General
    Aug 31 2024
    We're mad about The Acolyte getting cancelled.


    Also, what does it mean to be an empath? Is Obi-Wan Kenobi compassionate? And where are Kenny and Aspen in our love of these fandoms?


    All these answers and more!

  • Wink of an Eye vs. Dooku Captured

    Wink of an Eye vs. Dooku Captured
    Aug 23 2024
    This week, the Scalosians fight to survive by **checks notes** freezing the Enterprise. Also, Anakin and Obi-Wan lift a bunch of rocks!

    Kenny brings up Ahsoka's role as caretaker in this week's episode of Clone Wars. And Aspen just really vibes with Wink of an Eye.

  • Plato's Stepchildren vs. Lair of Grievous

    Plato's Stepchildren vs. Lair of Grievous
    Aug 16 2024
    Dr. Tiffany L. Knoell, author of From Monk to Superhero: Genndy Tartakovsky’s Clone Wars and the Transformation of the Jedi, comes to talk to US! COME ON!

    We talk about the definining relationships between Jedi as mediative monks versus badass power fantasy. We talk about Parmen's fascist dictatorship within the context of 2024. We talk about Plato's Stepchildren's famous KISS. And animation is a medium, not a genre.

  • Cloak of Darkness vs. The Tholian Web

    Cloak of Darkness vs. The Tholian Web
    Aug 9 2024
    Aspen and Kenny go out of control on the implication of Senate Commandos. Kenny goes out of control on the two (TWO!) directors for The Tholian Web.

    And Aspen goes out of control on the logos, pathos, and ethos of this week's Trek.

    Also Uhura.

    It's out of control.
