Another Bite of Twilight

Kel and Mel go back in time to discuss the movie trailers for all five Twilight movies. You might be thinking, “Is there really enough to talk about?” YES!! Trailers are a work of art and the way they are crafted significantly impacts how people perceive a film. The Twilight trailers are no exception! 

We go into the history of movie trailers, how they're made, then rewatch the Saga's teaser and theatrical trailers. Back in the day, a new trailer was nearly as exciting as a new Twilight book or movie. Revisit the hype and over-analysis in this week's episode!

We're back at the Forever Twilight in Forks Festival! Kel and Mel hosted a live podcast at Forks High School. We were joined not only by an amazingly kind audience, but also Alan Mitchell, who plays Edward Cullen in the Olympic Coven cosplayers. Alan is hilarious, an astrology expert, and has such deep insights about the Twilight series! 

Thank you to everyone who attended the show, and thank you to everyone listening!

Kel and Mel read from the pages of their tween and teen journals, back when Twilight was brand new and Kel actually called Edward "sexylicious." 

From Breaking Dawn's book release to the crushing Robsten breakup, a lot happened from 2008 to 2012! This is probably or most embarrassing, cringe-worthy episode ever...But we hope you like it. ♡

Mel and Kel are back from summer break! We missed you all! The first *twenty minutes* of this episode, we go on a long tangent catching up. So skip that if you want to get to the Twilight! (But you’ll miss us discussing scary movies, the show Lost, Aruba, etc.)

This week we’re finally getting into the human characters of Twilight. Charlie, Renée, Angela, Jessica, Mike, Ben, Tyler, Lauren, Eric, and even random “who??” characters like Katie Marshall. Plus, we share a sound clip from Mel’s parents discussing Charlie Swan and Suki Waterhouse.

There's a possibility...we're taking a little hiatus. But only for two months!

It's another round of Commentary on the Commentary, and this time, it's Eclipse with author Stephenie Meyer and producer Wyck Godfrey. That may seem like a random episode concept, but there's a ton of information to learn and discuss. So it would frankly be irresponsible not to cover! 

Kel's sister and Mel's cousin Kaitlyn joins as our fact-checker in the corner of the room, and we hope you enjoy chirping frogs in the background!

It's our creepiest, most f***ed up episode yet...The Volturi! Kel and Mel discuss the Saga's villains according to the Illustrated Guide (plus some research on the side). We also ponder thoughts like: who would win, the Volturi or Voldemort? And why such similar names? Would Rosalie join the Volturi if she was invited? Is there hooking up going on in the lair? So many questions...

What influenced Stephenie Meyer when she created the Twilight Saga? Mel and Kel talk (over the phone) about the literature, music, and life events that inspired the books.

Plus, Mel started reading the first chapter of Life and Death! Whaat! Tessa Violet and Lovelytheband's new music video replicates The Baseball Scene. And we discuss Stephenie's potential Twilight books in the future...

Wish the Eclipse movie was a little longer? Well, there are six deleted scenes to watch and overanalyze with us! This week we revisit Eclipse’s deleted scenes and wonder: did they make the right call? Is it more important to be faithful to the books—or try to make a good movie? Kel & Mel also read listener messages and get sidetracked talking about The Sims!
