We talk about them all (including why artists in the community have long been doing it better) and Vic’s magical night at Twilight in Concert.

On this week’s episode we get to know the wolves and the Volturi, and discuss how the casting of well-known stars like Michael Sheen added a sense of credibility to the series.

It’s time for us to head back in between the pages this week and dive into New Moon.

For this week’s episode, we’re doing a full 180 on our Robsession episode from season one. That’s right, Edward, we’re mad at you. Despite New Moon distinctly lacking in Edward screen time, we discuss how omnipresent our once favourite moody vampire is in the film’s tone and Bella’s actions, the many comparisons to Romeo and Juliet, and how exasperating his actions are considering where we left off in the last film!

Twi-hards, we’ve heard it all before, haven’t we?! The slating of our favourite saga is tiresome, and this week Vic and Laura have bloody had enough.
