This week, we covered the first two installments of the Twilight Saga, Twilight and New Moon! We start the episode discussing misconceptions about how acting works and why Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson were unfairly maligned for their performances in these movies. Gaia talks about the *cinematography* in the first Twilight movie and questions why American movies only signal foreign-ness with British accents. Neeta goes full fangirl in this episode, reveals maybe too much information about their middle school experience, and gets excited talking about literally everything. We discuss How Twilight is a symptom of the problem of toxic relationships in media and not necessarily the problem itself, how it didn’t deserve all the backlash it got (stop being mean to teenage girls!!), and that we should be more concerned with how the Quileute tribe was horribly misrepresented in Stephenie Meyer’s world. Gaia admits they might be Team Jacob and the friendship may be on the line, Harris is informed of the Breaking Dawn Birth Scene, and so much more, this week on ‘Bitch, Why?’

Be sure to leave us a review and email us at [email protected] if you have a topic you want us to cover (or just to say hi)! We’ll read them on the pod!
