On this week’s New Moon finale (thank god!), we discuss the consequences of both Bella and Edward’s actions (yikes). We finally meet the dreaded Volturi, Italy's sparkliest cult, in person and unravel their completely ridiculous backstories. HOW OLD IS JANE AGAIN?!?!?! Did I go a little overboard? Maybe a little.

From culty cloaks to questionable life choices, we're breaking down the most dramatic "family" of the Twilight universe. Join us for a history lesson and a laugh!

Sorry about the mixup folks. We uploaded the wrong episode. Here's the real one!

Hey readers ~ This week’s episode really left a HOLE in our hearts, if y’know what I mean. A terrible, empty hole. Yeah, this week’s a doozy - Bella is in full self-pity mode, and Jacob is quickly thrown to the wayside the minute Alice makes her consequential return.

Turns out cliff diving does not look normal from the outside looking in, and Jacob's heart starts breaking in real time, not that Bella cares because Edward is in trouble. And she literally drops everything and jets off to Italy to stop Edward from flashing the Volturi.

From shirtless vampire reunions to emotional werewolf whiplash, it's peak Twilight drama, and we are here for it. Join us this week as we discuss the bitter feelings developing between Bella and Jacob as she prepares to save Edward from a very prepared, intentional dramatic end...Ugh, boys are so stupid...

Welcome back, readers! This week’s episode finally discusses the “bear” that’s been causing so much trouble around forks, AKA the wolf pack! Bella's thrill-seeking era is in full swing and with Jacob's absence it turns into full blown desperation.

Between hallucinations, heartbreak, and Laurent's return, Bella's proving that rock bottom can, in fact, have a basement. But thankfully Jacob is finally revealed as a wolf shifter, to Bella’s surprise. She has a serious knack for attracting the supernatural.

We're discussing the absolutely infuriating dynamic between Bella and Jacob and mourning the loss of more time with the pack because they are fascinating. Join us this week as we unpack the chaos, the cringe, and the emotional damage, and let us know what you think!

Whew, this week is a wild one, listeners. Welcome back to tomfoolery. We welcome Jacob’s character with open arms in this episode. Just as Bella is able to open back up, we are coming back from last week’s low energy!

Bella is officially in a full-blown rebound era, as begins to form a close relationship with Jacob. She's discovered that acting out dangerous stunts makes her hallucinate Edward, and she’s doing everything she possibly can to see and hear him again. She gets her hands on some motorcycles, just to hear ghost-Edward scold her, and drags Jacob into all the chaos, all while simultaneously sending him some intensely mixed signals.

Also, did we mention that Bella says she wishes he were her brother so she could “stake a claim on him?” Yeah.. stick around till the end for that one. Join us this week as we discuss Bella and the La Push pack!

We would love to hear your thoughts!

Hey readers. Sorry we missed you last week. Illnesses are a bitch, but we're back, and this one is a doozy! Buckle up for some difficult conversations.

Bella’s birthday should have been a nice, quiet evening at home. Instead a next level paper cut sends Jasper into attack mode, Edward into martyrdom, and makes Bella into a ghost. Her newfound reason for living up and leaves - taking all of the evidence with him - and she’s sent into a major spiral.

This episode is one of the darker ones, but we hope you’re here to discuss it with us! Let us know your thoughts in the comments. Join the conversation.

Hey listeners! We’re back with another episode on Twilight and we’ve finally gotten to one of the most iconic chapters of the book - the meadow scene that started it all where Bella learns that Edward doesn't burst into flame in the sun...he's a human disco ball.

We're talking sparkles, forever-boners, unhinged behavior, the way-over-the-top baseball game (because apparently thunder is nature's umpire), and more. This episode is soooo off the rails and honestly… we’re loving every minute of it.

Join the discussion! We would love to hear from the listeners on this one, so let us hear your thoughts!

Welcome back readers! We’re here for part 2 of Twilight, and we’re once again discussing some questionable choices on SMeyer’s part. This week we discuss some of the things fans have brought up for years - Edward’s stalking (and absolute obsession), Jacob’s treatment as a character, Bella’s totally unreliable parents, and the infamous Port Angeles scene! Watch out, Edward’s vigilante days are flashing before his eyes. It has already been an insane ride revisiting this story from the text and we hope you’re enjoying it, too.
