Hey listeners! It's been one hell of a year. To wrap up the past year we decided to go back and reminisce, laugh, and discuss some of our favorite things about the last three seasons - Zodiac Academy, the Empyrean Series, and Twilight!

We air our grievances and relive the mess that was our 2025 era. We're talking funny editing and behind the scenes stories, favorite moments and iconic characters, alleged gaslighting, and Brittany's aggressive Stray Kids fixation. Not to mention the drunken Twilight movie commentary episode that will absolutely stay locked in the vault...like forever.

It's unfiltered, unhinged, and totally us.

We are so grateful for how far we’ve come and how much support you’ve shown the podcast. We’d also love to hear anyone’s favorite moments from the past year, and we hope that you will continue to tune in as we dive into a whole new series.

Looking forward to spending 2026 with you guys! What do you want to see from us in the coming year? What book series should we cover next? Any bonus content you'd like? We'd love to hear from you.

Sorry, everyone again. Mistake in the upload. It's been fixed to the current episode.

Welcome back readers! In the Breaking Dawn finale, everyone is bracing for war. The Volturi show up...and after four books of buildup, the series ends with a staring contest and some frustrating blue balls. It's all talk and no bite.

From the Volturi's dramatic entrance to the standoff that went absolutely nowhere, we're unpacking the most aggressively anticlimactic battle to ever not happen. It's an oddly wholesome yet extremely boring ending with lots of happily-ever-after vibes but no closure.

We dive into what it all means for Bella, Edward, Renesmee, Jacob, and the saga as a whole and share our honest reactions to these final...maybe...moments with these controversial characters.

We hope this episode helps you ring in the New Year with a laugh~ We finish the Twilight series with some laughs about the absolute ridiculousness of the last few chapters, from fart cloud sensory gifts to very seriously discussing the mechanics behind vampire tracking.

What did you think of that ending? Were you satisfied? Or did you think that the series ended not with a bang but a sadly disrespectful whimper? Join us for the (lack of) the last fight as we say farewell (and somewhat good riddance) to this nostalgic read and let us know your thoughts!

Hey readers! This week’s episode is the beginning of the end - after Irina tattles on the Cullens about their sudden acquisition of a vampire child, chaos breaks loose. Alice’s disappearance sends waves through the family and the wolves as the rest of the Cullens start to prepare for the arrival of the Volturi.

The only solution? Other vamps ofc! Possibly the best part of Breaking Dawn is getting to meet all the different vamps willing to come to Carlisle’s aid. Plus, Bella gets to play sneaky games on the side as Alice leaves her clues on what to do.

Hey readers! This week’s episode is all over the place - this section of Breaking Dawn, despite being the fourth book in the series, is not full of much action. However, we do finally get to read about sparkly Bella and her little devil spawn!

Welcome to the world, Renesmee Cullen. Everyone is absolutely enthralled with the new baby (one particular wolf in particular!). She’s growing like a weed, too. Also, things are starting to work out between the wolf packs.

Any thoughts on Bella as a new mom? We can’t wait to hear your comments! Join the discussion.

Hey readers! Welcome back to our discussion of Breaking Dawn, this week featuring the devil spawn herself - little Renesmee Cullen, born into the world despite all of the obstacles keeping her from doing so, AKA her mother’s humanity, her own father, and an entire wolf pack.

Nope, she ripped her way right onto the pages with more horror than we ever could’ve foreseen in this romantic tale. Did we mention it was awful? This entire section is also from the perspective of Jacob Black, beloved and beloathed by fans alike.

He’s separated himself from the Uley pack. Will he ever get his.. happy ending? I think we all have different definitions of that.. Join us this week as we discuss! We'd love to hear your thoughts.

Hey readers! We’re back this week with the beginning of Breaking Dawn, the last book in the series. We’ve finally reached the beautiful wedding that Edward’s been waiting for - and the honeymoon of Bella’s dreams. Literally, at some points in the book.

Despite Jacob’s horror, Bella is eager to finally get Edward in a bedroom alone. Surely, nothing could go wrong, right? This is supposed to be a happy ending!

Make sure to stick around for a completely horrifying observation about the honeymoon shenanigans on Esme Island. Let us know your thoughts!

This week on the Midnight Reader’s Podcast we discuss the end of the third book of the Twilight Saga, Eclipse. Admittedly, this episode is totally off the walls - we discuss werewolf physics, Jacob’s absolutely insane behavior during the tent scene, and… are we actually liking Edward in this section?

Forgive us for the absolute insanity of it all, but maybe he’s okay half the time. Plus, Jacob and Bella share a kiss as the final battle between Edward, Victoria, and Seth comes to an end. Bella, what the hell are you doing, loca? We also get a final ultimatum from the Volturi, setting us up for Bella’s transformation in the coming book.

Join us this week and let's discuss the crazy mess that is Twilight. Let us know your thoughts.

In this week's episode of our Eclipse reread, graduation is finally over, and Alice throws a party that literally no one asked for. Jacob shows up with a borderline manipulative "please pick me" gift, and the baby vampire army decides it's time to make their move against the Cullens.

The wolves and the Cullens team up but decide to leave Bella out of the fight. But that's not going to stop her desperate attempt to get some action of her own. She is down bad and has Edward clutching his pearls and clinging to his eighteenth century morality.

It's awkward. It's thirsty, and it's exactly the kind of chaotic scene that breeds some of our most unhinged thoughts. Is there a possible loophole for Bella and Edward? Haha. Maybe. Join us as we break down the cringe, the chemistry, and in hilarious commentary. Let us know your thoughts.
