Episode description

WE NEED YOU IN THE COMMENTS: How far is too far when remixing a beloved-yet-problematic classic? Because the Crew battles to a stalemate over that very question. Are you Team Ron ... or Team Bill?!  You've heard every criticism. Sparkly vampire skin, romanticizing emotional abuse, Trojan-horsing Mormon sexual mores. Twilight's sins range from the silly to the jaw-dropping. Forget all the whining about the Star Wars sequel trilogy or Avatar - Twilight is, without question, the most controversial franchise to ever earn a billion dollars. But earn a billion dollars it did, and spawn a slew of bona fide movie stars to boot, from Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart to Anna Kendrick and MacKenzie Foy. So when you reboot, exactly how much can you "fix" while still calling it Twilight?  Four straight men tackle the most successful franchise of the 21st century made by, for and about women. What could possibly go wrong?
