This week, Cate is absolutely delighted to discuss Bombad Jedi, and when Cate's delighted, Dietrich should be very, very worried. The pair sit down to chat about the Jar Jar Binks of it all, including Filoni absolutely going ham with his love of giant sea creatures, the sheer exhaustion that must be felt by the Gungan's guardian angel, and the two dozen times this episode should have come to a swift and bloody end. In addition, they attempt to rebuild this episode into something that's not a complete mess, a clone trooper tries to bring home the most impractical of pets, and we discuss that the only thing Palpatine hates more than the Jedi is Jar Jar Binks. Finally, we wrap up with a chat about the newest series in the Game of Thrones universe and a new Mumford and Sons album.

This week, Cate and Dietrich dig into Deep Space Nine's first adventure in the courtroom, as Sisko, Kira, and the best guest star ever break out weapons-grade sass as they try to determine if Curzon Dax being a bit of a man-whore can justify Jadzia Dax being executed. The pair discuss Bashir crossing the line into a possible sexual harassment case, Sisko and Odo getting to wield the ferocious sword of MINOR ADMINISTRATIVE DETAILS, and spend the bulk of the episode swooning over Queen Anne Haney and her delightful round gavel. In addition, everyone panics when O'Brien goes on vacation, a surprise witness spills gallons of piping hot tea, and we announce our new partnership with Poderation!

This week, Cate and Dietrich ask the hard hitting questions, including: Can industrial grade steel shelving units withstand the scope of Cate's Star Wars apparel? How WOULD Dietrich properly wine and dine Anakin Skywalker should The Chosen One agree to be his Valentine? Does going barefoot on a ship cross a line that even Grevious refuses to cross? And most importantly, can Duel of the Droids redeem the previous episode? In addition, they discuss Ashoka's skydiving face, this franchise's deep adoration of tazers, and so much more.

This week, Q makes his appearance on everyone's favorite fixer upper in space, to mixed results. Cate and Dietrich discuss whether or not you need to let Odo's tannins breathe and the practicality of an Odo decanter, how many times Jean-Luc's name is uttered in the span of a single episode, and wonder if Bashir's absenteeism is becoming a problem that no one realizes when he's been space roofied for a full day. In addition, Cate braves the nightmarish labyrinth that is Costco before a Super Bowl, Dietrich fat shames his new mechanical son, and they wrap up debating favorite muppets and a moving tribute.

This week, Cate and Dietrich dig into the baffling Downfall of a Droid, at least once they're done digging into the arcane mysteries of whether or not Count Dooku is subtle when he rips some fat clouds of cotton. The pair discuss some strange child bride vibes, the joy of seeing Grevious love his work, and debate the wisdom of putting a tween in command of a naval armada. In addition, Cate does a fairly poor job of hiding her delight at Dietrich's bitter enmity towards a certain gilded traitor.

This week, Cate and Dietrich discuss Deep Space Nine's take on The Most Dangerous Game, at least if a day player on Flash Gordon was chasing a very leathery Groot. They talk about Sisko's wildly relaxed approach to first contact, Bashir's wildly relaxed approach to HIPPA, and pretty much everyone's wildly relaxed approach to the station being boarded by aliens as hostile as they are goofy. Cate rails about an unresolved cold open that's aged like cream on an Arizona tin roof, Dietrich is delighted by Odo installing a Net Nanny on all of Quark's computers, and they both spend time screaming at O'Brien to go see his wife and kid, dammit.

This week, Cate and Dietrich sit down to discuss the episode of Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Rookies, an episode that features Dietrich's new favorite character, shines a light on Dave Filoni's weird kink for space fish, and sees Cate quietly watching Dietrich spiral into madness at the idea of suicidal sentient propane tanks. In addition, they share some of the more unhinged merchandise that's ever been ejected into the world, including a coffin for the recently deceased Trekkie in your life, a ghoulish body horror lollipop, and the opportunity to contort a very professional Leia in all directions.

This week, Cate and Dietrich discuss an episode in which we discover just how bad the staffing issues on DS9 actually are, too many people get a bit too thirsty about a bioterrorist, and Jake finally, FINALLY gets a goddamn bed. In addition, Cate continues to lie to Dietrich about running, argues for a Ferengi/Shapeshifter buddy cop movie, and gets blinded by the not book that Dietrich's mother got him for the holidays.

This week, Cate and Dietrich wrap up the Malevolence trilogy with an episode that had Dietrich laughing so hard he injured himself. How much is too much for aspirational tequila? Is anyone going to talk to the super battle droids about the dangers of steroid abuse? Do droids have a concept of mortality? The pair discuss this and more, but mostly just laugh about Obi-Wan abracadabring C3PO into a goddamn train. You can send questions or comments to [email protected]

Happy Life Day, everyone! We brought you an acid trip to absolutely fracture any sense of sanity that you may have! For MTFLLAP's very first Christmas episode, we're joined by author Taylor Vaughan as Dietrich recounts the absolute fever dream that was the 1978 Star Wars Holiday Special, complete with Wookie refractory periods, a cocaine-fueled Roger Corman in multilimbed drag screaming at the screen, and Luke Skywalker telling a woman how much prettier she'd be if she smiled, all while Cate cackles with demented glee like some kind of holiday gremlin. It's an episode fueled by Dietrich's confusion and despair, so, you know, a perfect way to spend your Christmas. You can send questions or comments to [email protected].
