Episode 170: Two Cokes
🕑 Added 2022-05-23 14:01:03 +0000 UTCTwilight & Midnight Sun joint chapter (Port Angeles)
Well, well, well! Harry Potter is back in the news thanks to a maddeningly vague line in a Wall Street Journal profile of the new Warner/Discovery media boss. Since we can't glean anything of substance from that, we dig a little deeper by examining a recently published poll comparing the franchise to other current blockbuster tent-poles. Can data save us, or are we getting five thirty-eighted? After that, we have a rip-roaring pair of chapters to discuss full of drama, suspense, hacky tropes, and mushroom ravioli. Is it getting good? Well... it's certainly getting interesting! Finally, we wrap up with a delightful interview from one of Twilight's unlikeliest stars and an incredibly cursed op-ed from 2008!
(Very mild content warning here; this chapter deploys the age-old heroine-gets-rescued-from-lecherous-goons-just-in-time-before-you-know-what scene; it's very dopey but if you'd still rather not hear us hash out the details and whatnot skip 10 minutes ahead when we start talking about Bella walking into the industrial district)

oh now that you've hit this chapter i did want to post the dazzle convo in Stereo b: "You really shouldn't do that to people," I criticized. "It's hardly fair." "Do what?" "Dazzle them like that--[the hostess is] probably hyperventilating in the kitchen right now." He seemed confused. "Oh, come on," I said dubiously. "You have to know the effect you have on people." He tilted his head to one side, and his eyes were curious. "I dazzle people?" e: That was an interesting way of phrasing it. Accurate enough for tonight. I wondered why the difference... "You haven't noticed? Do you think everybody gets their way so easily?" b: He ignored my questions. "Do I dazzle you?" e: I voiced my curiosity impulsively, and then the words were out, and it was too late to recall them. But before I had time to too deeply regret speaking the words aloud she answered, "Frequently." And her cheeks took on a faint pink glow. I dazzled her. My silent heart swelled with a hope more intense than I could ever remember having felt before.
