MLP S7E26: "Shadow Play, Part 2"
March 20, 2021 05:51 - 42.6 MBCLICK TO SUBSCRIBE ON YOUR FAVORITE PODCATCHER. Folks - we did it. We finally made it to the final episode of this season. It’s been a whole year since we sat down to start this season adventure, and we’re at the end of a season we’ll always remember for Pony Therapy. I mean, there’s so many lessons and thoughts to take away - for example, never meet your idols. Because Star Swirl the Bearded is a complete jerk who is totally out of touch with how friendship works in current Equestria. But ...
MLP S7E25: "Shadow Play, Part 1"
March 18, 2021 16:41 - 28.8 MBCLICK TO SUBSCRIBE ON YOUR FAVORITE PODCATCHER. It’s finale time for Season 7 and wow do we have one heck of an exposition bomb dropped on us from the very beginning. I mean, it’d just be lying if we said we didn’t put together the fact that all the legendary pony stories we talked about this season were gonna get referenced later. But they start in on the legends and drop a lore bomb for the first act of this episode, cramming as much info as they possibly can into their 30 minute cartoon....
MLP S7E24: "Uncommon Bond"
March 12, 2021 17:28 - 40.1 MBCLICK TO SUBSCRIBE ON YOUR FAVORITE PODCATCHER. RIght before our season finale, we get this adorable reformed ponysode where all of Starlight’s friends get introduced to our favorite Joel Grey magic pony, Sunburst! Well, introduced isn’t the right word, more like coincidentally bump into Sunburst and then become best friends. Starlight might be a bit jealous, but when your best friend comes to visit and then spends a whole day hanging out and chatting with Maud Pie - something’s a bit off. ...
MLP S7E23: "Secrets and Pies"
March 06, 2021 07:15 - 32.4 MBCLICK TO SUBSCRIBE ON YOUR FAVORITE PODCATCHER. If you’ve watched along with us this whole time, you know that Pinkie Pie can…be a lot. So it’s no surprise this week when Pinkie’s delivery of a pie in celebration of Rainbow Dash’s 73rd Wonderbolt Practice Session might get mixed reviews from Dash. And if it were an isolated case, we might be able to forgive our favorite jock pegasus. But the lengths Rainbow Dash will go to dispose of a pie and the further lengths Pinkie will go to prove her...
MLP S7E22: "Once Upon a Zeppelin" (w/ Kristin!)
February 25, 2021 15:00 - 41.8 MBCLICK TO SUBSCRIBE ON YOUR FAVORITE PODCATCHER. Good friend and fantastic guest Kristin Devine (Christmastide, OH! Roll to Play! Dice Up Games!) joins us this week on an all-expenses paid vacation in the skies on a luxurious zeppelin cruise! Or at least, that’s what it was billed as when Twilight Sparkle’s mom Twilight Velvet signed the whole family up for a vacation. I mean, who wouldn’t jump at the chance to get away with the whole family? Except they didn’t do the homework, and now they’...
MLP S7E21: "Marks and Recreation" (w/ Lucy!)
January 21, 2021 17:30 - 28.7 MBCLICK TO SUBSCRIBE ON YOUR FAVORITE PODCATCHER. We’re back with our own little filly, Lucy, to talk Cutie Mark Crusaders this week, and their perfect idea of a Cutie Mark Camp! There’s food, fun activities, and finding your purpose - what could go wrong? Well, how about a little foal who’s the brother of a Wonderbolt and who…(checks notes)…doesn’t want a cutie mark. We’re not kidding when this episode attacks the very notion and necessity of Cutie Marks, threatening some very real existenti...
MLP S7E20: "A Health of Information"
December 10, 2020 06:02 - 35.3 MBCLICK TO SUBSCRIBE ON YOUR FAVORITE PODCATCHER. Angel Andrews returns this week for the rudest, timeliest episode of My Little Pony we’ve watched for this show. Because of course, in this absolute bonkers year of lockdowns and quarantine, our favorite pony had to go and have a pandemic episode. Yup, Fluttershy is trying to take care of her good friend Zecora after she catches the mystifying “swamp fever” and in the process has to learn some really tough lessons about self-care. And we mean ...
MLP S7E19: "It Isn't the Mane Thing About You"
December 03, 2020 06:00 - 48.2 MBCLICK TO SUBSCRIBE ON YOUR FAVORITE PODCATCHER. Rarity fan and fantastic guest Kate Harlow (Christmastide, OH) joins us as we discuss the worst mane day ever. And we mean worst. Look, it’s bad enough that Rarity has a mane mishap, we all know how desperately important her coiffure is to her image and brand. But Rarity isn’t in full panic mode over silly string meets super glue getting into her hair. It’s what happens next that is so terrifying, nopony is able to hide their horror. Rarity ha...
MLP S7E18: "Daring Done?"
November 17, 2020 14:47 - 36.5 MBCLICK TO SUBSCRIBE ON YOUR FAVORITE PODCATCHER. The awesomely cool friend of the show Morgan Nuncio (The Red Death! Powered by the Players! Streaming!) joins us to talk about the hypest hype team ever, Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie. Dash is mostly dragging Pinkie along, though, after she hears A.K. Yearling might be done writing books and can’t fathom her favorite author not writing…I mean worried about her friend, in general. It’s more than that, though - Daring Do is having a lot of second ...
MLP S7E17: "To Change a Changeling"
November 06, 2020 05:07 - 27.2 MBCLICK TO SUBSCRIBE ON YOUR FAVORITE PODCATCHER. What happens when you mix Thorax, his grumpy non-transformed brother, and resident Pony Disaster Duo Starlight and Trixie in an episode? Apparently a bunch of hijinks and hilarity. This episode doesn’t really involve any of the Mane Six, and yet it’s low key one of the funniest and most entertaining episodes we’ve seen this season. I mean, Pharynx is just so adorable in how much he hates all the new vibes in the hive. Not to mention that they’...
MLP S7E16: "Campfire Tales" (w/ Tim!)
October 16, 2020 21:16 - 42.6 MBCLICK TO SUBSCRIBE ON YOUR FAVORITE PODCATCHER. Tim Devine of the Roll to Play Network and The Red Death joins us to talk about the first real filler episode of MLP we’ve gone through in a long time. Let’s be clear - we’re big fans of the look of these episodes, they’re telling some cool stories. But yowzers does this episode feel slapped together. The chance to meet some Viking ponies or hooved Centurions is pretty great, and we’re always moved by stories like Mistmane’s, teaching that bea...
MLP S7E15: "Triple Threat"
September 11, 2020 05:34 - 28.2 MBCLICK TO SUBSCRIBE ON YOUR FAVORITE PODCATCHER. There’s always a little bit of filler each season, but this episode managed to pack in a great friendship message, Spike shenanigans, and an amazing meta-bit, all at the same time. And also, we get to pit the majestic but a little clueless Thorax with the tactless, blunt honesty of Ember, and OF COURSE it leads to hilarious results. We’re not saying it’s the most groundbreaking episode of My Little Pony, but it’s still a pretty fun time! We’re...
MLP S7E14: "Fame and Misfortune"
September 04, 2020 04:01 - 38 MBCONTENT WARNING: This episode contains discussions of grief and the loss of parents and loved ones. CLICK TO SUBSCRIBE ON YOUR FAVORITE PODCATCHER. Up until now, there hasn’t been an episode that directly confronted the issues with the fandom. And we would know, we’ve spent 6 and a seasons watching it. They’ve certainly flirted with the idea, but this week, the fandom is getting called out and it is terrific. The protests of Rarity, the Fluttershy redundancy, the criticism of Twilight’s “c...
MLP S7E13: "The Perfect Pear" (w/ Vin!)
August 28, 2020 14:06 - 52.7 MBCONTENT WARNING: This episode contains discussions of grief and the loss of parents and loved ones. CLICK TO SUBSCRIBE ON YOUR FAVORITE PODCATCHER. Pony expert Vin LaBate of The Chimera joins us this week for one of My Little Pony’s most emotional and highest-rated episodes, and in the conversation as one of the best episodes in the series. On its face, the Apple siblings are just on a mini-quest to find out what the deal is with Pears and why the Apples hate them so much. But quickly we’r...
MLP S7E12: "Discordant Harmony" (w/ Sam!)
August 20, 2020 05:27 - 34.6 MBCLICK TO SUBSCRIBE ON YOUR FAVORITE PODCATCHER. Discord superfan Sam Turley of Christmastide, Ohio is here this week to talk about our favorite chaotic draconequus. And unlike most Discord episodes, this time, he’s the one needing more introspection and truly growing as a creature. He also is the main character of the entire episode, if you count the six separate Discords in his house at any given time. And yet despite the hijinks, this is one of the most delightful and feelings-filled epis...
MLP S7E11: "Not Asking for Trouble" (w/ James!)
August 13, 2020 20:55 - 46.6 MBCLICK TO SUBSCRIBE ON YOUR FAVORITE PODCATCHER. Our Pinkie Pie fan extraordinaire James Anderson joins us once again for hijinks aplenty, this time in Yakyakistan. The yaks are celebrating one of their biggest holidays and Pinkie’s been…”invited” to join in the festivities. There’s vanilla cake, music huts, and stories by the fire, until some ritual stomping triggers an avalanche. That’s when the yaks, stubborn as they are, refuse Pinkie’s help to get their village out from under the snow. ...
MLP S7E10: "A Royal Problem"
August 06, 2020 16:46 - 32.1 MBCLICK TO SUBSCRIBE ON YOUR FAVORITE PODCATCHER. Friendship problems and the Cutie Map are a mainstay of the past couple seasons, so when Twilight is in a panic-derived shock to start this episode, it seems like overkill. But then you realize that Starlight Glimmer is being called…for a friendship problem…AT CELESTIA AND LUNA’S CASTLE. Sure enough, her worst fears are realized when it turns out the most powerful sisters in Equestria are having some issues. Starlight has some bold ideas of ho...
MLP S7E9: "Honest Apple"
July 30, 2020 19:28 - 36.2 MBCLICK TO SUBSCRIBE ON YOUR FAVORITE PODCATCHER. This week, Rarity is hosting a fashion show to benefit some up-and-coming designers with huge creativity, and she’s invited fashion’s biggest ponies to judge. There’s Photo Finish, Hoity Toity and…Applejack? Yep, Rarity’s actually got an interesting idea of how to bring Applejack’s honesty and practicality to the design competition. But Applejack instead thinks it’s gonna be a competition for who can make the best clothes Applejack would wear,...
MLP S7E8: "Hard to Say Anything"
July 23, 2020 22:33 - 39.4 MBCLICK TO SUBSCRIBE ON YOUR FAVORITE PODCATCHER. Returning guest Kent Blue of the Roll to Play Network is our guest for the most adorable and ridiculous episode of the season so far. Adorable, because Big Mac has a crush on a pony from Starlight’s old village, and the awkward sweetness is just lovely. Ridiculous, because there’s a rival for Big Mac’s potential pony love, and HE LOOKS AND SOUNDS LIKE JUSTIN BIEBER. Not even joking, he’s got ridiculous 2010’s bangs and likes to flip his hair. ...
MLP S7E7: "Parental Glideance"
July 16, 2020 05:12 - 58.2 MBCLICK TO SUBSCRIBE ON YOUR FAVORITE PODCATCHER. The amazing and delightful Evan Tess Murray of This Planet Needs a Name and Light Hearts joins us this week for some serious Pony Therapy and ridiculous sight gags as Scootaloo slingshots her way (literally) into Dash’s parents’ house. They’re instant BFF’s, since Bow Hothoof and Windy Whistles are truly bigger fans of Rainbow Dash than even Scootaloo, and that takes effort. In fact, they’re such big fans that Rainbow Dash has maybe kinda sort...
MLP S7E6: "Forever Filly"
July 09, 2020 22:14 - 32.3 MBCLICK TO SUBSCRIBE ON YOUR FAVORITE PODCATCHER. This week we’re back with an episode about the most polarizing pony in our long review of these ponysodes. Yep, it’s Rarity time, and once again, it’s time for Macintosh to try to defend Rarity in her obnoxious friendship decisions. Specifically, she’s all up in Sweetie Belle’s business after realizing her time at the different shops has left her with little to no time with her little sister. Which is sweet and lovely, but Rarity doesn’t under...
MLP S7E5: "Fluttershy Leans In"
July 02, 2020 15:56 - 40.2 MBCLICK TO SUBSCRIBE ON YOUR FAVORITE PODCATCHER. The outstanding return guest Claudia Elvidge, creator of The Beacon and Soulborn City, joins us to talk about FLUTTERSHY BEING ASSERTIVE AND WE LOVE IT. We’re outspokenly pro-Fluttershy on this show, and we especially love watching Fluttershy’s growth as a pony. So this episode is an absolute delight, as she finally has a reason to pursue her biggest ambition - making a sanctuary for all the adorable critters in Ponyville. Fluttershy has a vis...
MLP S7E4: "Rock Solid Friendship"
June 25, 2020 16:59 - 34.2 MBCLICK TO SUBSCRIBE ON YOUR FAVORITE PODCATCHER. Our namesake has returned. It’s time for Maud Pie’s episode. Or, should we say, Doctor Pie, because Maud has achieved her dream - she has a rocktorate. And now, after having done so much hard work over so many long hours at the rock farm, Maud is ready to find a new place to settle. Will she choose Ghastly Gorge, with its amazing assortment of jasper emerald? Or is Maud looking for something more than amazing rocks…like maybe friendship? Her s...
MLP S7E3: "A Flurry of Emotions"
June 19, 2020 05:07 - 29.3 MBCLICK TO SUBSCRIBE ON YOUR FAVORITE PODCATCHER: In most other seasons we might write this off as a filler episode. It’s certainly not a pinnacle moment for the show. BUT FLURRY HEART IS SO ADORABLE SO WHO CARES. Seriously, this li’l foal is the most adorable pony that ever did pony in Equestria, and this episode is her moment to shine. Sometimes literally! And also, Twilight has to learn that being a good, responsible aunt means not trying to also do twelve other things when all your cute a...
MLP S7E2: "All Bottled Up"
June 11, 2020 20:11 - 40.5 MBCLICK TO SUBSCRIBE ON YOUR FAVORITE PODCATCHER: Patti aka @VixxiKitsune joins us to talk about maybe the greatest Pony Therapy episode ever. Like, LITERALLY, Starlight Glimmer is bottling up her rage and frustration, and it saps her of her magical energy. That…that is just TOO real. But at least we also get some ridiculous magical shenanigans from Starlight’s BFF, Trixie, and a Mane 6 subplot that is both precious and hilarious, all at once. We’re talking about ”All Bottled Up” this week on...
MLP S7E1: "Celestial Advice"
June 04, 2020 05:36 - 29.9 MBHey, everyone. We are enraged and heartbroken by the murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Tony McDade, David McAtee, and countless other innocent lives, and the violent police actions against protestors in our country. Black lives matter. The situation in our country is grave, and while we hope we can be something light for anyone who needs it, we do not want to take away from the important work of activists and protestors fighting against police brutality. If you are able, please donat...

MLP S6E26: "To Where and Back Again - Part 2" (w/ Jon!)
February 07, 2020 18:01 - 41.4 MBFind us at: iTunes Spotify Patreon YouTube Jon Baley (Gumbie Cat Networks!) joins us for part 2 of our finale, chronicling the exploits of our redeemed pony villains as they face Queen Chrysalis - without magic. That’s right, Starlight and Discord are both unable to use their superpowered skills to save everypony, and it’s going to take some real ingenuity and courage to figure out a way to win this battle. Is Starlight up to the task? Can Discord get past his arrogance and single pursuit ...
MLP S6E25: "To Where and Back Again - Part 1"
February 06, 2020 15:05 - 30.3 MBFind us at: iTunes Spotify Patreon YouTube We’re kicking off our season finale solo this week as we focus on a fearsome foursome of secondary characters responsible for saving Equestria! Starlight Glimmer’s going back to her old village to help with a festival, but after a meltdown, she comes back to find Ponyville…acting weird. And she’s right to be concerned - it turns out some nefarious plans of Queen Chrysalis are afoot. The Changeling Army is back and plotting to take down the princes...
MLP S6E24: "Top Bolt" (w/ Dan!)
January 31, 2020 06:30 - 43.5 MBFind us at: iTunes Spotify Patreon YouTube Daniel Spencer (Bike Brigade! Concept!) joins us to talk all things Rainbow Dash! Though, unlike most Dash episodes, this time she’s actually 20% more awesome than most everypony. Granted, she’s having to go back to Wonderbolts Academy when she just left to chillax with friends. But the newest crop of Wonderbolt hopefuls have two promising candidates who also have a friendship problem that’s a little more complex than we’ve ever seen. Can Rainbow ...
MLP S6E23: "Where the Apple Lies" (w/ Vin!)
January 23, 2020 09:00 - 48.6 MBFind us at: iTunes Spotify Patreon YouTube Vin of The Chimera joins us this week for one of the best Apple-sodes that ever did Apple. I mean, it’s enough just to have an Apple family-centric episode, but to get li’l Applejack and teen Macintosh? AND MACINTOSH WON’T STOP TALKING?! Six seasons into this venture, the writers decided to go have some serious fun with the Apples and Filthy Rich, and it all comes together in this episode. We review “Where the Apple Lies” on this episode of Macint...
MLP S6E22: "P.P.O.V. (Pony Point of View)" (w/ James!)
January 22, 2020 09:00 - 56.5 MBFind us at: iTunes Spotify Patreon YouTube 4-time repeat guest James Anderson joins us this week to examine some pony hijinks through the eyes of three very different horsepectives. Rarity, Pinkie Pie, and Applejack are embarking on a fun jaunt in the sea, but when they get back, they’re no longer on speaking terms. And if that’s not bad enough, each has a different story about what went wrong on the sea, with some unique embellishments. It’s up to Twilight and Spike to get to the truth of...
MLP S6E21: "Every Little Thing She Does" (w/ Eddie!)
January 16, 2020 12:33 - 52 MBFind us at: iTunes Spotify Patreon YouTube Eddie Louise Parker of Sage and Savant joins us this week for a very special Starlight Glimmer episode. Special in the sense that she’s about to unleash some Amelia Bedelia-level hijinks in Twilight’s castle. Twilight’s impressed with her new student’s magical abilities (duh) but when it comes to friendship lessons, Starlight has some work to do. And of course, she makes the absolute best decision by brainwashing her friends to make their lesson t...
MLP S6E20: "Viva Las Pegasus" (w/ Whitney!)
January 15, 2020 14:35 - 50 MBFind us at: iTunes Spotify Patreon YouTube Diva pony correspondent, sister extraordinaire, and podcast raconteur Whitney Nelsen joins us for a trip to the glitziest party place in Equestria, Las Pegasus. And if we’re going to a loud, raucous, the two ponies we definitely need to send are…Applejack and Fluttershy?! This episode has no right to work as well as it does, but it’s ridiculously funny in the BEST way, not least because of two familiar con ponies returning to make Applejack wanna ...
MLP S6E19: “The Fault in Our Cutie Marks”
January 08, 2020 20:50 - 32.7 MBFind us at: iTunes Spotify Patreon YouTube The Cutie Mark Crusaders have a new and potentially impossible case - find a cutie mark…for a griffon. Gabby is an adorable and extremely excited griffon who saw the power of friendship when Pinkie and Dash visited Griffonstone. But the reputation of the Crusaders has preceded them, and Gabby’s been led to believe the CMC’s are miracle workers. Still, Scootaloo is determined to find a way to help Gabby and try and find that special purpose for a ...
MLP S6E18: "Buckball Season"
January 03, 2020 20:30 - 42.6 MBFind us at: iTunes Spotify Patreon YouTube Angel Andrews, the creator of To Have and To Hold and voice actor extraordinaire, is with us to talk about an adorable pony sports episode! Applejack’s getting trained up to take down her loudmouth cousin Braeburn at Ponyville’s hottest sport, buckball. But when Dash and AJ start looking for a unicorn, they suddenly realize Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy are absolute buckball stars in the making. And if you think having the two most competitive ponie...
MLP S6E17: “Dungeons & Discords” (w/ Sam!)
December 31, 2019 01:44 - 53 MBFind us at: iTunes Spotify Patreon YouTube We’re joined by repeat guest Sam Turley of Fate and the Fablemaidens this week for an episode we’ve been so excited for. It’s a Discord episode, so already you know you’re in for a nice dose of chaos magic. Then you add Big Mac and Spike to the mix for a “guys’ night” that, all in all, seems fairly innocuous as such things go. But what’s the special secret to this episode? It’s Ogres & Oubliettes, a nice little fantasy tabletop RPG that makes this...
MLP S6E16: "The Times They Are a Changeling" (w/ Rachel!)
December 29, 2019 20:42 - 46.9 MBFind us at: iTunes Spotify Patreon YouTube Rachel Rauch, creator of the upcoming Medusa Gorgon’s Academy, is with us this week to share some big feels as Spike makes a new friend that tests the limits of the Friendship Kingdom. The writers take a bit of a sledgehammer to an issue that could use a little more fine chiseling, but nevertheless, this episode is a major turning point in the series and asks really tough questions about how you stand up for your friends, no matter how risky that ...
MLP S6E15: "28 Pranks Later"
December 27, 2019 02:31 - 43.8 MBFind us at: iTunes Spotify Patreon YouTube Claudia Elvidge, creator of The Beacon and Soulborn City, joins us this week to talk about maybe the creepiest ponysode we’ve covered yet. In retrospect, it’s mostly cute and hilarious, but the animators really went all out in creating some truly messed up effects and styling for these prank cookie zomponies. Rainbow Dash may never prank again after the horror she’s subjected to, but on the other hand, how do you stop a pony from randomly pranking...
MLP S6E14: "The Cart Before the Ponies"
December 20, 2019 06:36 - 33.7 MBFind us at: iTunes Spotify Patreon YouTube We’re joined this week by a very special guest, Lucy, the Apple Bloom to our Sweet Apple Acres here at Mac & Maud HQ, because it’s a Cutie Mark Crusaders episode! Or at least, it should be, but when the Crusaders ask their grown-up counterparts to help with a derby racer challenge, they start to take over the whole shebang. Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, and Apple Bloom all have different ideas of how they want to race, and their sister ponies have sho...
MLP S6E13: "Stranger Than Fan Fiction"
December 12, 2019 12:00 - 39.2 MBFind us at: iTunes Spotify Patreon YouTube Y’all ready for a Daring-Do convention, because we sure are! We’ve been excited about this episode for a while, not just because of the pony-con link. We also have the best pony guest star of all time, the only person fan enough to go toe-to-toe with Rainbow Dash - Patton Oswalt. This episode has sarcasm, nerd rage, adventure, sight gags - everything you’d ever want from a convention-centric episode. It’s one of the most fun ponysodes in the entir...
MLP S6E12: "Spice Up Your Life" (w/ Morgan)
December 05, 2019 07:32 - 42.8 MBFind us at: iTunes Spotify Patreon YouTube CONTENT WARNING: We discuss issues of racism and poor representation in this episode. Morgan Nuncio of The Red Deathfor another of the occasionally not great, kind of bad, really problematic episodes of My Little Pony that comes up from time to time. We love this show but it sometimes tries to tread into territory it’s not really equipped to talk about. Like food from non-white cultures, or appropriating cultural identities, or even just treating...
MLP S6E11: "Flutter Brutter"
November 27, 2019 15:25 - 46.2 MBFind us at: iTunes Spotify Patreon YouTube Max Jenkins of Living in the Stacks and Welcome to the Bone Era joins us for an episode featuring our Best Pony, Fluttershy! Flutter’s gone home to visit her parents with Dash, but it turns out an unexpected guest is swinging by - Zephyr Breeze. Zephyr is, without a doubt, the most self-obsessed, self-centered stallion we’ve ever met, and Fluttershy is NOT. HERE. FOR. IT. Who knew Fluttershy was able to be this assertive and defensive? It’s amazin...
MLP S6E10: "Applejack's 'Day' Off" (w/ Kent!)
November 25, 2019 16:48 - 50.2 MBFind us at: iTunes Spotify Patreon YouTube Kent Blue of the Roll to Play Network is our guest this week for a trip to the Ponyville Day Spa! At least, Rarity thinks it’s some downtime with Applejack, until AJ runs late because she can’t get away from her chores. Once they’re able to pin a date down, with the help of everyone’s favorite rule follower, Twilight Sparkle, Applejack and Rarity are ready for a glorious steam. Except there’s no steam, so Applejack’s got to figure out what the pro...
MLP S6E9: "The Saddle Row Review" (w/ Kate!)
November 21, 2019 06:07 - 47.3 MBFind us at: iTunes Spotify Patreon YouTube Kate Harlow joins us this week for the most cartoony, clever, fun Rarity-centric episode ever. It’s a simple enough premise - Rarity’s opening her new Manehattan location and needs some help; hijinks inevitably emerge. But then there’s a newspaper reporter in a café and everypony’s giving interviews, and then we get DJ Pon-3 and raccoons and super deep callbacks, and suddenly we realize this isn’t our usual ponysode. Get wacky with us as we review...
MLP S6E8: "A Hearth's Warming Tail" (w/ Sarah!)
November 14, 2019 18:47 - 44.3 MBFind us at: iTunes Spotify Patreon YouTube It’s Hearth’s Warming Eve again in Ponyville, and Sarah from Little Realms joins us this week to talk about the season’s big musical episode! Starlight Glimmer’s not feeling the holidays too much, so Twilight brings out her favorite Hearth’s Warming story as Spike enjoys a nice mug of cocoa. For us, though, it’s all about the amazing songs and the delightful, adorable Victorian design for everypony. This might just be one of the prettiest and well...
MLP S6E7: "Newbie Dash"
November 07, 2019 06:09 - 34.5 MBFind us at: iTunes Spotify Patreon YouTube We were not prepared for a Rainbow Dash episode to be an early contender for best of the season, but this week’s episode might be a great candidate. Dash gets to live her dream with the Wonderbolts, then gets an unfortunate nickname, and HILARITY ENSUES. Watch as Rainbow Dash gives us the biggest smile known to ponydom, creating a classic gif we use almost constantly! Listen as Macintosh does his best to perform Dash doing her best to perform the ...
MLP S6E6: "No Second Prances"
October 31, 2019 05:00 - 36.2 MBFind us at: iTunes Spotify Patreon YouTube This week the Great and Powerful Specs joins us to talk about the return of one of Twilight Sparkle’s greatest nemeses: Trixie Lulamoon. That’s right, everyone’s favorite scheming, con artist, sleight-of-hand trickster Trixie is back, and this time…she’s humble and penitent? In fact, when Starlight gets Twilight’s assignment to make a new friend, it takes a pony who understands being shunned and ostracized (for not the worst reasons) to make a dee...
MLP S6E5: "Gauntlet of Fire" (w/ Jake!)
October 24, 2019 18:24 - 47.2 MBFind us at: iTunes Spotify Patreon YouTube It’s a Spike episode, and we’re joined by Jake from Snickles about everything dragons! It’s been a while since we visited the Dragon Kingdom, and we’ve got a great reason as Spike’s been summoned by the Dragon King, which involves bright glowing and a slight itching/burning sensation. More importantly, though, Spike’s not interested in competing to take over the kingdom like the other dragons, but has to join in after he hears the dragons’ plans t...
MLP S6E4: "On Your Marks"
October 17, 2019 05:13 - 32.3 MBFind us at: iTunes Spotify Patreon YouTube This week we catch up with the Cutie Mark Crusaders post-cutie marks! Despite a lot of swooning over their shiny new flank decorations, the Crusaders are a little perplexed about what comes next for them. While Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo find some new activities to try on their own, Apple Bloom has a…just checking our notes…ah, yes, FULL-ON EXISTENTIAL CRISIS. For a few minutes, Apple Bloom rapidly descends into darkness before realizing her purp...
