Folks - we did it. We finally made it to the final episode of this season. It’s been a whole year since we sat down to start this season adventure, and we’re at the end of a season we’ll always remember for Pony Therapy. I mean, there’s so many lessons and thoughts to take away - for example, never meet your idols. Because Star Swirl the Bearded is a complete jerk who is totally out of touch with how friendship works in current Equestria. But even more importantly is the fact that we can’t face darkness alone, and we need help from others to get through. And wow, we’re tearing up just typing those words in, because after a really awful year, it’s a message that really rings true. Hold your friends tight and get ready for one last battle as we discuss “Shadow Play, Part 2” this week on Macintosh & Maud!

It’s finale time for Season 7 and wow do we have one heck of an exposition bomb dropped on us from the very beginning. I mean, it’d just be lying if we said we didn’t put together the fact that all the legendary pony stories we talked about this season were gonna get referenced later. But they start in on the legends and drop a lore bomb for the first act of this episode, cramming as much info as they possibly can into their 30 minute cartoon. It’s a little sloppy for My Little Pony, but it doesn’t hide the fact that Twilight Sparkle is finally going to have to reckon with how she thinks she’s hot shit. Brace for pony lore supreme as we discuss “Shadow Play, Part 1” this week on Macintosh & Maud!

RIght before our season finale, we get this adorable reformed ponysode where all of Starlight’s friends get introduced to our favorite Joel Grey magic pony, Sunburst! Well, introduced isn’t the right word, more like coincidentally bump into Sunburst and then become best friends. Starlight might be a bit jealous, but when your best friend comes to visit and then spends a whole day hanging out and chatting with Maud Pie - something’s a bit off. Starlight’s still dealing with those past friendship feelings something fierce, and her plan to magic her way out of it might be a bit much. Put on your dragon costume and roll the pumice die as we discuss “Uncommon Bond” this week on Macintosh & Maud!

If you’ve watched along with us this whole time, you know that Pinkie Pie can…be a lot. So it’s no surprise this week when Pinkie’s delivery of a pie in celebration of Rainbow Dash’s 73rd Wonderbolt Practice Session might get mixed reviews from Dash. And if it were an isolated case, we might be able to forgive our favorite jock pegasus. But the lengths Rainbow Dash will go to dispose of a pie and the further lengths Pinkie will go to prove her pies are disappearing - it’s a very, very complicated process with a lot of collateral damage, particularly a lovable little tortoise who keeps eating whole pies. Seriously. Roll out some crust and pick your favorite filling as we discuss “Secrets and Pies”

Good friend and fantastic guest Kristin Devine (Christmastide, OH! Roll to Play! Dice Up Games!) joins us this week on an all-expenses paid vacation in the skies on a luxurious zeppelin cruise! Or at least, that’s what it was billed as when Twilight Sparkle’s mom Twilight Velvet signed the whole family up for a vacation. I mean, who wouldn’t jump at the chance to get away with the whole family? Except they didn’t do the homework, and now they’re stuck on a Princess cruise helmed by absolute fourth-tier pesky villain Iron Will. In between the hijinks, we get ANOTHER PONY THERAPY LESSON - this time about boundaries, and how to find time for yourself in the midst of too much work. Give yourself a little break and have some me time as we talk about “Once Upon a Zeppelin” this week on Macintosh & Maud!

We’re back with our own little filly, Lucy, to talk Cutie Mark Crusaders this week, and their perfect idea of a Cutie Mark Camp! There’s food, fun activities, and finding your purpose - what could go wrong? Well, how about a little foal who’s the brother of a Wonderbolt and who…(checks notes)…doesn’t want a cutie mark. We’re not kidding when this episode attacks the very notion and necessity of Cutie Marks, threatening some very real existential breakdowns for our intrepid CMC’s. That is, until they figure out exactly why this little colt is avoiding getting his cutie mark. Get ready for horseshoe tossing, archery, and haiku writing as we watch “Marks and Recreation” this week on Macintosh & Maud!

Angel Andrews returns this week for the rudest, timeliest episode of My Little Pony we’ve watched for this show. Because of course, in this absolute bonkers year of lockdowns and quarantine, our favorite pony had to go and have a pandemic episode. Yup, Fluttershy is trying to take care of her good friend Zecora after she catches the mystifying “swamp fever” and in the process has to learn some really tough lessons about self-care. And we mean tough - Fluttershy’s running into walls, digging unnecessarily, and getting stung by flash bees, who are no joke. Plus, if that’s not enough, how’s about some cajun ponies? Take some notes and exercise proper pony mask care as we watch “A Health of Information” this week on Macintosh & Maud!

Rarity fan and fantastic guest Kate Harlow (Christmastide, OH) joins us as we discuss the worst mane day ever. And we mean worst. Look, it’s bad enough that Rarity has a mane mishap, we all know how desperately important her coiffure is to her image and brand. But Rarity isn’t in full panic mode over silly string meets super glue getting into her hair. It’s what happens next that is so terrifying, nopony is able to hide their horror. Rarity has to learn some really tough lessons, and in the process finds a quiet confidence even she didn’t know she had. We’re exercising good mane care as we talk about “It Isn’t the Mane Thing About You” this week on Macintosh & Maud!

The awesomely cool friend of the show Morgan Nuncio (The Red Death! Powered by the Players! Streaming!) joins us to talk about the hypest hype team ever, Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie. Dash is mostly dragging Pinkie along, though, after she hears A.K. Yearling might be done writing books and can’t fathom her favorite author not writing…I mean worried about her friend, in general. It’s more than that, though - Daring Do is having a lot of second thoughts about their adventures, and how it might have caused some bigger problems than the immediate issues at hand. We’ve got Daring Do adventure, Dr. Caballeron moustache twirling, and the coolest Egyptian-style pony village in Somnambula, with absolutely awesome new ponies to meet! Join us as we talk about “Daring Done?” this week on Macintosh & Maud!

What happens when you mix Thorax, his grumpy non-transformed brother, and resident Pony Disaster Duo Starlight and Trixie in an episode? Apparently a bunch of hijinks and hilarity. This episode doesn’t really involve any of the Mane Six, and yet it’s low key one of the funniest and most entertaining episodes we’ve seen this season. I mean, Pharynx is just so adorable in how much he hates all the new vibes in the hive. Not to mention that they’re very vulnerable to Maulwurf attacks. It’s up to Starlight and Trixie to figure out how to solve this friendship problem. Preferably without throwing one another under the bus in the process. We’re watching “To Change a Changeling” this week on Macintosh & Maud!
