Not My Fantasy

Twilight (2008) feat. Julia Bianco


Listen Later

Hold on tight, spidermonkeys. We’re starting Supernatural Romance Month with THE supernatural romance of the millennial generation: Twilight! We traverse through a smattering of vampire lore from around the world and in literature, dissect the differences between real Quileute mythology and the white nonsense created by Stephanie Meyer, and explore the traditional Mormon messaging of this story.

Big thanks to friend-of-the-pod Julia for demanding we do this episode!
