For one last time, we reflect on our time hosting Fang Theory, be our usual silly goofy selves, and visit the Twilight universe together. We hope you enjoyed it, and thank you for any precious moments you've spent with us.

Goonies never say die…but vampires sure do. As Hannah so eloquently put it, this is “the last one where we’re not just dicking around.” Tune in to hear how vampires die (and why it’s so hard to kill them) as well as some horrifying real life examples of regeneration in nature, featuring the wackiest goofiest animals. Also, don’t worry. Your liver is always looking out for you.

In a lowkey, silly one, Hannah and Paige make the case that New Moon has the best movie soundtrack in the Twilight franchise, if not in cinema history as they talk about what they love about each song and rank them.

This week Paige and Hannah go on a little self-indulgent jaunt through the first twilight movie. They talk about their favorite parts, the cinematography moves they thought were brilliant, the decisions they thought were, uh, questionable, and generally have a little silly time.

We humbly present Another Silly One. Basically, Paige walks Hannah through some moments in Midnight Sun and they make fun of Edward a little bit but also generally fawn over how much he loves Bella. It'll be fun, we promise.

Stephanie laid down the gauntlet when she said that vampires can never get stronger or weaker. We answer the challenge this week by explaining how muscles work, grow, and atrophy and how vampires can't do most of those things.

Plus, this week turned out to be a culmination of our past episodes in many ways, so if you haven't already, here are a few that we think you should check out!

This week, we're back with something a little different: a little more raw and a lot less researched. Paige and Hannah show their uninitiated friend Marissa iconic clips from the Twilight movies and she explains to them what they mean and why they're important. Some highlights include: that Blue-Ass Movie, what Alice and a Puffle from Club Penguin have in common, and Jacob Revealing Himself.

CONTENT WARNING: Hannah insisted on explaining the Omega Verse for reasons unknown.

This week we tackle one of the bedrocks of the Twilight vampire lore: why doesn’t Edward sleep? Featuring an overview of current theories about why humans do sleep and Paige and Hannah being icked out by Edward watching Bella but commiserating with her about talking in her sleep.

Why do vampires have such good eyesight, and why do “vegetarian” and “regular” vampires have different eye colors? Find out in this week’s episode, where we answer your burning questions by discussing how human eyes work and what works differently in animals with better eyesight than us. Featuring a passionate defense of tofu by Hannah.

Note: Eagles are SWIMMING in cones: "In a human, the fovea has 200,000 cones per millimeter, giving us wonderful vision. In the central fovea of an eagle there are about a MILLION cones per millimeter." It also turns out we were mistaken: bats don't have more cones; they have rods that have evolved to detect UV light which actually compensates from relative color blindness that comes as a result of having few cones (whoops).
