JACLYN’S BACK AND WITH A VENGENCE!!!!!! Join your favorite host, and also Jess and Abby, as we talk about the Ahsoka episode and how much we hate it. We’re ready to fight Jon and Dave, but honestly what else is new? And then we get way off track and talk about anything but the Ahsoka episode because it is literally that forgettable. COOL. **SPOILERS for the entirety of The Mandalorian because we make the rules** Find Jaclyn: @JBandos

Dank ferrik, Abby is horny for Bo-Katan. And Sasha Banks. And Fennec Shand. And Din Djarin. And Hayden Christensen in his Vader bath. Jess says some things too that I can’t remember— I just mostly remember being thirsty af. Oh, and as always, fuck Gina Carano

'Twas the night of LEGO Star Wars, and all through the pod Jess and Abby were excited, which was rather odd; The two hate Star Wars and don't really care But the promise of LEGO Christmas gave them a fuck to spare.   They asked their friend Emma to join in the fun, And she said, "of course!" faster than Han Solo flew the Kessel Run. Gathered on Discord, did Emma, Abby, and Jess And all three exclaimed, "God bless this hot mess!"   With their friends on the Falcon, so lively and gay Star Wars was fun again, especially with Rey. They laughed, cried, and cheered as characters came The trio couldn't help but call them by name.   "Now Sebulba! now, Anakin! now, Maul and Mando! On, Obi-Wan! On, Leia! on, on Maz and Lando! Out from the portal! Out from the ship! All gathered together to share a tip-yip!"   Their faces all hurt from smiling with glee; It was the best Star War ever, the three could agree. With hearts full of laughter they exclaimed with all their might, "Happy Life Day to all! And to all a good-night!

It's a double feature week with offerings from the cheesiest of Christmas production houses: Lifetime and Hallmark.

Ending Megtober with a bang! Join us for our last episode in our 3 part series on fatphobia and diet culture.

Hope y’all enjoy!   Here's the list of books discussed in all three parts: The Body is Not an Apology by Sonya Renee Taylor Fearing the Black Body by Sabrina Strings The Embodiment of Disobedience by Andrea Elizabeth Shaw How to Speak Up Against Fatphobia by Samantha Puc, Jey Barnes Find Meg on all the things: @tspofnutmeg, @RoguePodron @AvatarStatePod @JellyTartsInBed Meg’s pateon: https://www.patreon.com/oceanofmeg
