Another Bite of Twilight

We’ll spare you our fanfiction and instead, here’s an episode of everything we would change in our version of the Twilight Saga. What would you do differently if you wrote it? Also featured: trying to figure out the Harry Potter universe, weird noises in that New Moon kiss, who we think should have died, movie sound clips, and more!

We reflect on the highs and lows of the Twilight 10th Anniversary showing last week (Mel tried to throw popcorn at someone) then discuss the actors who played—and almost played—Edward, Bella, & Jacob. Could you picture Jennifer Lawrence as Bella? Henry Cavil as Edward, or a different actor for Jacob in New Moon? It could have happened…

Call us when Citizen Kane has contributed half as much to film as the baseball scene from Twilight. In this episode, we dive into why we believe the first movie is in a league of its own and the others don't quite compare.

Bella Swan's character gets a lot of criticism. Does she spend too much time with Edward? Is she lacking a personality? Did she overreact during her breakup? Our feelings on the matter are a mixed bag. Plus, we discuss Kristen Stewart, play some movie clips, and Mel acts out an Eclipse scene.

Critics say the relationships in Twilight are toxic. Are they or aren't they? It's complicated. We dive into the discussion with book quotes and movie clips, looking at the romantic relationships through a feminist lens. Can you call yourself a feminist and love Twilight at the same time?

It's been 10 years since the first movie premiered and we still love Twilight. Do you love/hate/miss/have guilty thoughts about the Twilight saga? Just want to laugh to something or listen to us overanalyze Stephanie Meyer's imprinting storyline? In the first episode of our podcast, we confess our most cringe-worthy fandom stories, like that time we skipped school to go to the movie marathon.
