    Ep 156: In a Popeye’s Way

    In Episode 156, hosts Alyce and Laura are really sweating* through that Corporate Life this summer! Yay! WHY IS IT SO F---IN HOT??!! This show/episode is STILL NOT sponsored by Cinemark, but it really should be! Related note: Alyce has gone platinum A new experience is brewing for Star Wars fans! Sounds like we’ll learn more at San Diego Comic Con in a few weeks, but Philly fans get to experience the Experience first (via starwars.com) In today’s “news” that’s not really news, but more of an observation: the next Star Wars movie won’t have the same cast as past Star Wars movies. If you can believe it. Wow. (via Screenrant) Star Wars: Visions is coming back soon to confuse all the normies about whether or not it’s canon (via The Direct) Here’s the link to the trailer for Star Wars: Visions - The Ninth Jedi series After being let down by Lucasfilm nixing the Ben Solo film, will a comic be enough to satisfy the thirsty fans? (via Collider) If you want to get a jump on reading the upcoming YA romance novel, Star Wars: Eyes Like Stars by Ashley Poston, Amazon has a sample of the first 3 chapters. In a follow up from The High Republic: Trail of Shadows, does anyone know how to pronounce “Sian” in Star Wars?  Laura’s a bug murderer. Pest homicide. Pesticide… wait, no If you dream it and wish it, you too can be a pesticidal murderer with this bugsaber (not an ad, we just want one real bad) May the Fourth: A Star Wars origin story Instagram: @forcetoastpod Bluesky: forcetoastpod.bsky.social Email: forcetoastpod@gmail.com Website: forcetoastpod.com *This podcast contains a sh!t ton of profanity and boozin.

    Ep 155: Mozzarella Sticks

    In Episode 155, hosts Alyce and Laura are SO BACK* living that Force Toast life!  Cinemark Movie Club, have we (Alyce) got a half-baked almost-idea for you!  Life hack: the cheapest place to order some decent as hell mozzarella sticks What even is this Caravan of Corrections about, anyway? Who remembers anything from May?  Make Lyte a thing again Maul tried to manifest Anakin. Fun fact: If Maul and Anakin were a couple, their lil couple name would be Manakin.  Maximize shareholder value on your own time and give us Ahsoka season 2 NOW, dammit!  Coming not-that-soon to a streaming service near you, more Ezra! (via Bespin Bulletin)  If you, like us, missed the LFL/ILM TED Talk on AI last year, and are curious to see for yourself after Laura attempts to summarize it, it’s on YouTube here. Mozzarella Sticks Strike Back! During Mando, nonetheless!  FINALLY we return to our Recap on Tap segment with The Mandalorian and Grogu! We discuss our thoughts on the film, story, characters, the intended audience and more.  Interesting interview with ILM’s Hal Hickel on bringing Rotta the Hutt to life.

    Bonus: Maul - Shadow Lord eps 9 & 10

    In another All-Maul Recap on Tap bonus episode, hosts Alyce and Laura discuss* the final 2 episodes of Star Wars: Maul - Shadow Lord Season 1.  At the time of recording, Star Wars Celebration tickets had just gone on sale. So we talk a little about that.   The keg is tapped in our final Recap on Tap of Maul Season 1! Join us for a recap and discussion of episode 9: Strange Allies and the season finale, episode 10: The Dark Lord.  Still kinda bitter about the Ahsoka novel retcon. Still not our favorite move, Star Wars. Caravan of Corrections and Confusions? Sixth/Eleventh Brother edition Why Alyce has been right about the prequels all along. RIP Spybot. You would have loved Mr. Bones. Vader’s silence explained. You’ve seen the Force push, pull, hold. Now introducing: the Force nudge That’s all she wrote! See you in June for a discussion on The Mandalorian and Grogu!

    Bonus: Maul - Shadow Lord eps 7 & 8

    In the first Force Toast Bonus episode since 2024, hosts Alyce and Laura don’t want to wait until JUNE to talk about the last 4 episodes of Maul, so we’re squeezing out a few recording sessions as we have time! Shout out to our friends at Del Rey/Penguin RH for sending us The Mandalorian and Grogu adult coloring books! Couldn’t miss a ride on the Caravan of Corrections, even in a bonus Po-po pee pee? Po po plaza?  We’re Recapping on Tapping Star Wars: Maul - Shadow Lord season 1, episodes 7 and 8. Yes, the finale is out by now, but we had not seen it yet when we recorded - and we STILL have not seen it while we’re writing this little episode description. So you get to listen to how dumb all of our questions and predictions for the finale are! Stay tuned for another bonus (hopefully soon!) where we’ll discuss Maul - Shadow Lord episodes 9 and 10!

    Ep 154: Lacrosse the Stars

    YOU ANSWER TO ME B-TCH TITLE CARD HERE In Episode 154, hosts Alyce and Laura have* the Mandalorian and Grogu and Maul. That’s it. That’s the episode.  JK there are a few other things: The final trailer for The Mandalorian and Grogu! (YouTube) If you don’t want to watch the full 37-min video of Jon Favreau’s appearance at CinemaCon, SWNN has a good breakdown here.  Are you going to the May The Fourth preview screenings of Mando/Grogu? If so, you’re lucky because tickets went fast! If you’re into model making, Phil Tippett’s creature shop, film effects and/or Star Wars ships, you’ll probably enjoy this behind the scenes look at The Mandalorian and Grogu film with Adam Savage and Jon Favreau. Grain of Salt: there’s a rumor swirling about a new 2D animated Star Wars series  From “This is the Way” to “Have It Your Way”! Burger King’s got The Mandalorian and Grogu stuff for kids and adults.  Millennium Falcon meets Mando? Smuggler’s Run is going to somehow incorporate The Mandalorian and Grogu? We don’t get it, so hopefully more to come? (via SWNN)  BooshkeeDO you even have an elbow?  Recap on Tap - with SPOILERS! Maul - Shadow Lord episodes 3-6 features the galaxy’s Ugliest Lieutenant, Rook harshing on Maul’s vibe at every turn, Looti Tooti, The Fart before he became a fart (presumably) and Two Boots providing no reassurance whatsoever in any situation Laura gets mad - no, stays mad - at how expensive things are  Come for Happy Hour, stay for Alyce’s young Boba Fett impression Apropos of Nothing: The phone strap Alyce asked about isn’t available anymore, but this is kind of similar    Twitter: @forcetoastpod | @sLeiaAllDay | @ShutUp_Laura Instagram: @forcetoastpod Bluesky: forcetoastpod.bsky.social Email: forcetoastpod@gmail.com Website: forcetoastpod.com *This podcast contains a sh!t ton of profanity and boozin.

    Ep 153: Maul About It

    In Episode 153, hosts Alyce and Laura are* going to the MAUL later, thank you for asking. Laura whips out the good sh-t for Happy Hour We made a Sally Ride error and every woman in STEM that left an indelible mark on the world rolled over in their grave… including Sally Ride, probably.  The Mandalorian and Grogu is coming out in May, a few weeks after May the Fourth. You’d think that would be a good marketing tie in, yeah? Nope, Star Wars Day is all about Return of the Jedi this year for some reason. Maul about Maul! He’s everywhere! In the news! On Disney+! Probably other places! Maul - Shadow Lord is getting a second season. Plus, Filoni talks Maul with Esquire. Protip: there’s a great TLDR on SWNN. Jon Favreau will be at CinemaCon to get everyone hyped about the upcoming Mando movie (via Deadline) Grogu is the real star of this filmmaker roundtable Ben There, Done That! (patting ourselves on the back for that one) Stephen Soderbergh reacts to Lucasfilm’s pass on his Ben Solo-centric film (BKMAG via Nerdist) In book news, Star Wars’ new horror offering and, on the opposite end, an adult coloring book! Multitudes, Star Wars contains, hmmm? LEGO Smart Bricks continue to mystify the masses. Now Mark Hamill weighs in. We’re back with Recap on Tap! Maul - Shadow Lord is officially here and we’re diving into episodes 1 and 2 with a SPOILER discussion on all the old and new faces, cute lil guys and insane bad-@ssery abound!  Feeling a little lost after the first episodes of Maul - Shadow Lord? We recommend Youtini’s Everything You Need to Know article.  BOOSHKEEDOO!

    Ep 152: About a Beaver

    In Episode 152, hosts Alyce and Laura learn* valuable lessons about 90s Nickelodeon theme songs and where the f-ck Tosche Station is! If there is one thing you take away from this podcast, it’s that you are supposed to watch all 39 hours of Daredevil before you watch Born Again.  Will Alyce’s prediction/dream that Taylor Swift be cast as the voice of Grogu ever come true? Here’s an update… (Gizmodo via Variety) Remember in our last episode when we asked, hey whatever happened to that one trilogy? From our lips to Penguin Random House’s ears. Check out this article and the official synopsis for Reign of the Empire: Edge of the Abyss here. What TIME is it? Show time (show time), show time (show time)! Thanks, 2016 Bruno Mars. Speaking of time, they make mid-bougie Mando watches for men and not women. Some poor schmuck had to drill a bar into the deepest depths of the earth for our boy Adam Driver (via SWNN) Usually we regret asking for a man to mansplain something to us, but we kinda needed someone to explain Smart Bricks to us. Fortunately GamingBible was on it.  Star Wars dropped the episode titles for Maul, but they did it on icky twitter, so here’s a link to Star Wars News Net instead. You’re welcome.  Out with the new, in the with old trilogy: Disneyland’s Oga’s gets a refresh (via WDW News Today) Twitter: @forcetoastpod | @sLeiaAllDay | @ShutUp_Laura Instagram: @forcetoastpod Bluesky: forcetoastpod.bsky.social Email: forcetoastpod@gmail.com Website: forcetoastpod.com *This podcast contains a sh!t ton of profanity and boozin.

    Ep 151: Mountain Schlong

    We open on the Chimera f--kin’. In Episode 151, hosts Alyce and Laura enjoy* one last jaunt to Peridea, complete with TOE Fighters, Rebels Season 1 Ezra and Grand Admiral Cock a Doodle Blue! Let’s catch up with Alyce’s Marvel catch up. Catch up Inception! Speaking of, should we add a Marvel segment to our show when Daredevil comes back? What do we call it? Marvel Manor? Marvel, May I? Marvel Mountain Schlong, perhaps… Happy Belated Rebels Remembered Day to all who celebrated last week! A preview of the forthcoming May issue of Empire Magazine, featuring Mando and the BABAY Today’s lesson in filmmaking no one asked for: the black and white clappy thing used on film sets Prediction: you won’t be able to swing a light saber without hitting someone dressed as Rotta the Hutt at the next Star Wars Celebration Bae? Alyce’s Bae? Obi-Wan? O-Bae-Wan? He’s gonna be in Ahsoka season 2? Maybe? (via Bespin Bulletin) Step aside, Ewan. There’s a new Bae in town! Ryan Gosling has a rule about franchises. His rule is confusing. But it’s his world and we’re just living in it. Did “Are You Afraid of the Dark” traumatize Millennials in childhood? Revisit 90s Nickelodeon with us! Maul has to be faster and more intense in the upcoming animated series. Also apparently he’s going to be questioning everything he believed about the Jedi. Not about Obi-Wan though, he definitely still hates that b-tch. Recap on Tap: Our Ahsoka Again segment comes to an end as we re-watch the Season 1 finale, Part 8: The Jedi, The Witch, and the Warlord. Climb aboard the mountain where Morgan finally reveals her true badassery, Daniel aka Sabine’s Force powers show up when it really counts, Ezra makes a big leap and trooper zombies are powerless without their heads! We hope you’ve enjoyed the ride. Now enjoy the 9- to 10-month (or more) wait for Season 2.   Twitter: @forcetoastpod | @sLeiaAllDay | @ShutUp_Laura Instagram: @forcetoastpod Bluesky: forcetoastpod.bsky.social Email: forcetoastpod@gmail.com Website: forcetoastpod.com *This podcast contains a sh!t ton of profanity and boozin.
