Hee hee. Wet.
In Episode 63, hosts Alyce and Laura catch* up on month’s worth of news and discuss the newest episodes of The Bad Batch?
We’re just saying.
They could have called the Andor show something cool like “Fulcrum” or “Underworld: The Rebellion.”
But they went with “Andor” and now we can’t stop hearing “and/or” so here’s hoping for a late-in-the-game title change so it doesn’t sound like they named the show after a conjunction =/
In Episode 62, hosts Alyce and Laura pour a few glasses of wine and catch* up on the last three weeks of Bad Batch episodes and...

In Episode 59, hosts Alyce and Laura crack* open a glass of Pink Milk, pull up a chair and try to make sense of all the Star Wars happenings over the last two weeks.

The year: 2021
The place: Trivs City

In Episode 52, there’s not a lot of news and hosts Alyce and Laura fail at Dry January and acupuncture, respectively. But all is not lost! Viral TikTok and The High Republic are here just in time to save us from the wrath of 2021.
If we learned anything from 2020, it’s that 1) meat thermometers break easily and 2) you shouldn’t stick it in too deep.
In Episode 51, hosts Alyce and Laura are roasting* a turducken stuffed with Star Wars news, recaps, trivia and general nonsense.
We’re not saying you HAVE to familiarize yourself with Molly Shannon’s Sally O’Malley character from Saturday Night live for this episode but…. it wouldn’t hurt.
In Episode 50, hosts Alyce and Laura are catching up* on Chapters 14 and 15 of The Mandalorian and all the news that came out of the Disney Investor Day on December 10, 2020.
Hello there! Hello there! Hello there! 49 and feelin’ fine!

Force Toast’s Episode 48 is brought to you by pimple cream and Fisher Price.
I mean, not really. But it would be pretty cool, wouldn’t it, Fisher Price?
In Episode 48, hosts Alyce and Laura are ringing* in Life Day the only way they know how: with a giant can of Coors Light and a fancy Christmas cocktail. Guess who had which ;-)
It’s Episode 47 and hosts Spooky Alyce and Laura spend their Halloween drinking and talking* about Star Wars - so it’s pretty much the same as any year!
What do Kiera Knightley, puberty, 9/11 and There’s Something About Mary all have in common?
There’s only one way to find out! (It’s easy, just listen to this episode)
In episode 46, hosts Alyce and Laura have a big one for you, nerds. It’s time we have a talk about foot peeling and cat buttholes.
Wait, no, come back! We’re just kidding. Kind of.
What we actually talk about:
This episode has EVERYTHING! Borat impressions! Ebola! Pizza parties! And as always, a little Star Wars talk for your listening pleasure.
In Episode 45, hosts Alyce and Laura are recording* a little early (like, 2 days early) because Alyce is SO DEMANDING and doesn’t want to spend her BIRTHDAY editing this dumb show lol. Honestly, can you blame her? Oh yeah, and we’re still not done with Thrawn.
[Borat voice] VERY NICE!
