Trashedlight

Well folks, instead of a summary today you're gonna get a ton of show notes and corrections. Turns out I remembered 0% of Go Ask Alice from when I read it in a Books-a-Million in Dallas when I was 11, so here's Wikipedia to set me straight: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Go_Ask_Alice The lowdown is: definitely fiction, not poetry, problematic af. Our other show notes include name popularity from 2005: Jessica was #27 overall: https://www.babycenter.com/top-baby-names-2005.htm And here's Ellen Hopkins' Wikipedia page if you are interested in her: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ellen_Hopkins

Well, your fearless editor half of your favorite podcasting duo went a little off the rails with this one...I hope you think I'm as funny as I think I am. If not, enjoy our chats about common sense and finance! A bit of show notes--here's the TV Tropes page for Manic Pixie Dream Girl: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ManicPixieDreamGirl And holy Jesus, I found an article that explains "then perish": https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/then-perish

This summary will contain zero fun hints about the content of our discourse, because we need to warn you that we make some LOUD noises in this episode and your darling editor thought the comedic effect was better if they stayed loud af rather than fiddling with them in post (you're so welcome).

An incomplete list of the things that Rebecca and Colleen manage to somehow connect to Twilight this week includes: Spy Kids, high school English class, HGTV, and, of course, super hero movies. A quick correction - the CSI: Miami reruns and marathons take place on A&E, not Spike, as it is erroneously stated in the episode.

Madonnas and whores, divorces and badly planned escapes, we cover it all! Remember to email us for a good Venmo handle - we accept any and all donations to the noble cause of reading Twilight and talking about it for you folks ;)

Welcome to probably the most complimentary episode of Trashedlight ever, although that certainly does not mean it doesn't have its fair share of criticisms and weird jokes only the hosts think are funny...

We finally get this (plot) show on the road! But in exchange, Stephanie Meyer has forgotten what genre she's writing in. Ya win some, ya lose some.

Remember that old time religion? It's back with a vengeance, as are our musical references (2 this time)! We also get deep and "spill some tea", as the kids say (I think?) to reveal some dark shames of Rebecca and Colleen's past...

There are three (3) musical ~snippets~ in this episode--see if you can name the three musicals they come from! Also included in your package today are Madonna/whore dichotomies and a whole lotta that "old time religion".

Gross touching and possibly discovering the seed of E. L. James' famous Twilight fan fiction "50 Shades of Grey"...wait a second, I think those descriptors are talking about the same thing...
