Ep. 20: The Episode from HELL

We may have had some technical difficulties, but we're still bringing you CONTENT. Don't worry, Melissa worked it out. ANYWAY Bella figures out the WEREWOLF THING but insists on some all-or-nothing thinking, and seems ready to accept Jacob as a murderer since she ~~loves~~ him...she really needs to see Melissa's therapist. Tune in for Bella and Jake's Who's on First conversation and Maya not being able to form mental images. Help us improve the pod! Check out Patreon.com/twilightphasepodcast twi...

Ep. 19: All Bella Wanted Was Colorado the Whole Time

We don't believe in much (are narwhals even real?), but we DO believe Jacob is suddenly icky with his bitter eyes and refusal to answer questions. Seems like he believes in vampires, but Bella won't even make him talk about it!!! Even though apparently her most deep down desire was to be a vampire all along...

Ep. 17: The Sasquatch Files

Look team, we run the gamut of topics on this episode. From Bella being an "easy bleeder" whatever that means to Bella gaining EMPATHY. Also, why is The Monster assumed to be a giant bear and not bigfoot??? MAKE IT MAKE SENSE. Also Jacob begins to go downhill. RIP.

Ep. 16: Parents Just Don't Understand

Welcome back!!! These are the forgotten chapters of New Moon, like what even happens through here? Well, Bella meets Jacob's friends, lowkey stalks the Cullen house, and gets weirdly aggressive about Lauren cutting her hair. Oh yeah, and there's a creepy group of hall monitors gone rogue giving Jacob a weird amount of attention... We have some all star letters from listeners in this one AND Melissa's really bad hot take on fridges. Tell us if you agree at: twilightphasepodcast@gmail.com @twiligh...

In the latest episode of Twilight Phase, we continue our journey into New Moon. While some may consider chapters 4&5 to be the start of a loooonnnggg, ~boring~ section, we take away some new things we didn’t notice the first read around: Bella is badass??

We dive into the start of New Moon! Right from the start we get (too much?) Romeo and Juliet, Bella dreading getting old (sexist ageism?), and Edward's blase take on what he'd do if Bella died...fun!!

Ep. 11: Reading Life and Death Part 2: You're Just a Baby Pig

Welcome to part two of our reading of LIFE AND DEATH. This part is delightful popcorn before we dig into the ending in part three. Get ready for the truly wild changes made to the Port Angeles scene, Beau's weak vasovagal system, and seeing lots of women facing off against each other which EXCUSE ME but could have happened in Twilight all along.

Ep. 10: Reading Life and Death Part 1: Part of Her Saw Me as Food

WOW OKAY so we read Life and Death , the gender-swapped Twilight , so that you don't have to. Listeners, it was a journey. Listen along to be swept up in the thrilling (?), heart-expanding (??), swoony (???) romance between Beau and Edythe ( ?????? ). Stephenie Meyer made some choices and we could not stop laughing.

Ep. 8: Are You Even a Vampire if You’re Not Hot?

In this ep, we continue to take a deep dive into the whole Bella-Values-Literally-Everything-Else-More-Than-Her-Own-Life thing (it’s her #brand), and how her plans are Smart and everyone else’s are STOOPID. Also James is high-key average? Sucks to suck, I guess. (AYYYYY) Contact us at: twilightphasepodcast@gmail.com @twilight_phase (on Twitter and Instagram) twilightphasepodcast.tumblr.com...

Ep. 7: Making Friends Is Easy When You're Being Hunted by a Vampire

As Bella breaks Charlie's heart and returns to Phoenix, we dive into why Charlie is the best (guess whose OTP was Charlie/Esme . . .) and how our opinions of Rosalie have changed since our first reads (duh). And when Alice's super-vampire hearing fails us, Bella herself won't. Girl is noble, but she's smart.
