In this episode, Amanda, Emily, Jesi, and Tobi discuss the stars of the Twilight Saga—KStew, RPatz, Taylor Lautner, and everyone else who brought the Saga to life. Who were they when they were cast, how did their careers evolve (or devolve) alongside the Saga, and what are they up to now? 

On this episode of Re-Examined, Amanda, Emily, Jesi, and Tobi ask the question that's been on everyone’s mind since 2012: who, what, where, when, and how did the CGI Renesmee end up in the final cut of Breaking Dawn - Part 2? Join the girls as they discuss the evolution of the Twilight Saga from a low-budget indie to one of the most successful YA film franchises of all time, and how the increase in budget and acclaim affected the series as a whole.
