I have a confession to make: I've been listening to the soundtrack all week.
Now that we've finished reading Twilight and Midnight Sun, it's time to talk about the crown jewel of the franchise: the movie! This film launched several acting careers and catapulted the series into unimaginable popularity, and is also responsible for an unbelievable amount of songs tailor-made for breakup playlists, AIM away statuses, and AMVs. So, how does it hold up? We were very pleasantly surprised. Join us for a traditional longer-than-the-movie episode where we walk through its myriad plot improvements, hilarious acting fumbles, and banger needle-drops. And of course... Why movie look like that?
[Correction: Kristen Stewart was nowhere near as unknown as Pattinson when Twilight started! I've seen Panic Room, even!]

Late to this because I just caught up on the podcast, but I have to recommend that you find the version of the movie with the director's commentary! Robert Pattinson spends the entire time making fun of his own performance and makes it hilarious. "I only agreed to take my shirt off in this scene because they told me they'd photoshop in abs, and then they didn't!" "Oh, look at me, so cool, Mr. Popped Collar, all the girls love it."
I became a listener after Natalie Watson mentioned the podcast when the Waypoint folks watched Twilight on stream. It’s become one of my favorite podcasts and I cannot wait to see what’s next!
