Another Bite of Twilight

We never thought this day would actually come. Stephenie Meyer is publishing Midnight Sun, the companion to Twilight in Edward’s perspective. WHAT?!!! This is historic!

So in this week's episode, Mel and Kel discuss the new book's cover art, reveal a clip from our live reaction to it, and read excerpts from the Midnight Sun draft. We also randomly act out a scene from 'Little Women'. At the very end of the episode, we completely lose our sh*t! It's Midnight Sun!!!!

It's the last movie soundtrack—nooo! It's very bittersweet to complete our last soundtrack review with Breaking Dawn Part 2. This time we have Passion Pit, Green Day, St. Vincent, Ellie Goulding, Feist, and many more artists. 

Like our previous reviews, we play a clip from each track, then discuss. One song in particular caused quite a fight between Kel and Mel. Can you guess which one? If you totally disagree with our takes, please don't come after us with pitchforks! But do let us know what you think of the album and how it stacks against the rest.

We’re discussing the man, the myth, the legend: Robert Pattinson! Our greasy-haired, endlessly exaggerating, goofy-yet-private star of the Twilight Saga. For such an important guy, we had to make it a big episode, and we start the show with quiiiite a surprise! We’ll then take you through the timeline of Rob’s life with quotes to try to understand who he *really* is. 

For the last half-hour of the show, Kel & Mel call our listener Morgan for her birthday and play a Twilight game that we totally made up. We hope you enjoy it and are staying safe and sane during this crazy time. Just remember: RPatz & Twilight forever.

We're discussing Twilight FanFiction this week, so yes, it is the most explicit episode we've ever made. So probably don't play this out loud if there are kids in the room—or really, if there's anyone else in the room!

Kel & Mel have never really dabbled in FanFic before, and this week we read three stories about Bella and Edward: "January", "Love and Lust", and "Wax & Wane." Some of the sentences we read out loud are freaking wild. But some scenes are just as touching and entertaining as the real series. Have you read FanFic before? What's your favorite?

Kel & Mel are back to wrap up the last film of The Twilight Saga and revisit Breaking Dawn Part 2. It's been eight years since it first premiered, and a lot of our thoughts have changed! Get ready for vampire sex, of course; Alistair creeping in every scene; our conflicting opinions on Renesmee; the fight; and whether or not there will ever be another Twilight movie. Plus, which is better: part 1 or 2?

When you can live forever, what do you live for? This week we explore themes of mortality and immortality in the Twilight books. Bella often seems apathetic to life, but simultaneously wants to live forever. And once a vampire, we have to wonder: do life and love hold the same meaning to immortals? To understand, we read passages from the books, articles on life and death, and have a look at the book Tuck Everlasting.

If you had to pick just one of our episodes to listen to, make it this one.

We had the amazing opportunity to interview Preston Johnson, Robert’s photo double and stunt double in Twilight! Preston shared his insider knowledge from the set and…a video clip recorded by Kristen Stewart herself, just for the podcast! AHHH! Yes, for real Kristen Stewart! So listen now, what are you waiting for!?

The soundtracks are one of the best things about the Twilight series. So how does the Breaking Dawn Part 1 album measure up? Kel and Mel put on their music critic hats again and play the entire soundtrack with commentary. Do they agree on favorite songs?? Spoiler: no. Join us as we listen to some Bruno Mars, Sleeping At Last, Christina Perri, and many bands who are so obscure, they don’t seem to have websites.

Oh boy, it’s time to discuss Breaking Dawn Part 1, the movie! In this episode, you’ll hear Mel call bloody teeth “a good look” and Kelly’s newfound appreciation for imprinting on a baby (just kidding—kind of?). We discuss *that* wolf scene, Rob’s hot Dior Homme ad, and a voice message from our listener Rachael. Plus, movie clips!

Kelly couldn’t stop laughing while editing this episode so we hope you enjoy it! Kel and Mel sit down with longtime friend Dan to discuss his very first experience with Twilight. Which minor character does he call a “sexy beast’? Does being Team Edward equate to being a library person and Team Jacob a camping person? And what is his overall impression of Twilight? We discuss this & much more!
