Episode 50: Phasers Set to Mild Inconvenience
This week, Cate and Dietrich dig into the second part of DS9's first three-part episode! They discuss what might be the single most adorable sequence in the history of the show, the deeply upsetting experience of waiting your entire life to commune with your gods only to find out that you're just horny as hell, and the sheer delight of returning to such classic bits as "Shapeshifter Rat". Listen, it's important to play the hits sometime. We want to thank Poderation for hosting our show, and our 6'8" 225 lb Jack Reacher-esque audio producer Eli "The Hammer" Renick.

Episode 49: Padawan Punishment, then Chilis
This week, Cate and Dietrich dig into the first episode of season 2, which feels less like a season premier and more like Oceans 11 if the casino was guarded by a tween in detention. The pair discuss the Jedi Councils priorities vis a vis a triple dipper vs securing critical information, Yoda's force fakeout through the use of a Ring camera, and the shockingly numerous similarities between a Cad Bane heist and Willy Wonka. It's an episode so funny that it obliterated Dietrich's microphone, so RIP Yeti microphone purchased during the Obama administration.

Episode 48: Freighter Captain Stitches and POW Snitches
This week, Cate and Dietrich are delighted to be back in the swing of things with a brand new season of Deep Space Nine! And what better episode to showcase that delight than one exploring illegal POWs, a collapsing government, and Frank Langella sliming his way around the station. The pair discuss the visual phenomenon of a war hero trying to hide in his own ass, discover the catty Ferengi version of ADP, and Cate finally gets to taste sweet sweet payback with the realization that this is the first of a three part episode.

Episode 47: The Clone Wars Season One Chat!
This week, Cate and Dietrich hopped on TikTok Live to record their thoughts about Season One of The Clone Wars, a recording platform that guaranteed their new audio engineer Eli Renick would have a stroke! But if you can put up with some slightly lesser audio, you'll get to hear the episodes that Cate and Dietrich agreed were the bottom of the barrel, as well as listen to them each choose their top ten. At the end, Dietrich makes some brilliant, insightful predictions, and we're not just saying that because Dietrich is writing this copy.

Episode 46: Raw Doggin' that Raspberry Beret
This week, Cate and Dietrich dive into the season one finale of The Clone Wars, celebrating this milestone by taking the professionalism and preparedness they bring to this show and tossing it out the window. That's right, this week Dietrich challenged himself to take not a single solitary note, an experiment called "why the hell am I doing this" by our more Trek-oriented host. They discuss Cad Bane's adventures in Nashville, Anakin's adventures in being a whiny manipulative partner, and the first villain in history to use a taser at the proper intensity and duration to turn the Chosen One into a rotisserie chicken. They also discuss the baffling decision for a relatively random episode to be the season finale, reasoning that it's only because of the electric charisma of a wheezing Blue Man Group reject ushering in the next season.

Episode 45: I Watched this SO Sober.
This week, Cate and Dietrich are joined by acclaimed science fiction author Adrienne Renick to record a beefy episode celebrating finishing the first season of Deep Space Nine by diving into the very first foray of the Star Trek franchise onto that silver screen! Is Star Trek: The Motion Picture the triumph of subtle and revolutionary science fiction that the creators clearly hoped it would be? Well, given the sheer number of times that Supercuts was referenced in this discussion, we'll say no. It's a bizarre film with bafflingly long hero shots, a fantastic 45 minute plot stuffed into a bewildering two and a half hour movie, and some very specific design choices that led to the word "penetrating" being used in some very unsettling ways. It's a bad movie with a fun discussion, and let's be honest, that's kinda where this podcast thrives. You can send questions or comments to maytheforcelivelongandpodcast@gmail.com.

Episode 44: A "Will Not Taliban" Guarantee!
This week, Cate and Dietrich dig into the outstanding "Liberty on Ryloth", an episode that draws inspiration from such classic kid-friendly content as Cold War political choices that embolden and empower an extremist faction in such a way that will inevitably lead to grief! I think the Wiggles used that topic as well. In addition, they talk about Ashoka finally getting the R&R she deserves, the world's scariest Segway tour, and Mace Windu indeed being THAT MOTHERF... well, you get the idea.

Episode 43: Deus Ex Glam Fox
This week, we're sharing the second half of in-person recording of The Last Jedi reactions, a movie that both Cate and Dietrich still promise they love. It's a movie that features some of the most extra foxes you'll ever see, a brilliant maneuver by Holdo that is definitely universally adored and not debated by toxic fans at all, and the decision that if one ending is good, four must be even better! The pair share their bewilderment at the whatchagot stew that is the final act, discuss the sheer levels of sass by all involved, and their final thoughts on this divisive yet ambitious film.
