With the Twilight Renaissance upon us during an age of remakes, it was inevitable that there would be a reboot. The show is currently in its infancy, but it has caused plenty of discussion within the fandom: who’s going to play our main characters? What direction will they go with the storyline? Blue tint or no? It’ll be months before we get any answers, but for now, we’ll ponder the possibilities of sparkly-skinned vampires in the age of TikTok.

Ep. 19: Who Should Be In the Twilight Show?

They’re spaces where people can find escapism and create friendships over a shared love of something as ridiculous as the Twilight saga. Even as adults, it’s cathartic and healing to reignite our obsession and to pay homage to our younger selves that grew up kissing Edward Cullen posters.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fae, Kayla and Taylor, three of the administrators for the hugely popular Facebook group, Twilight Shitposting, reminisce on the past and present of the Twilight fandom. Together, we remind ourselves of why we fell in love in the first place, and how we can grow with media that is–seemingly–frozen in time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Twilight Shitposting:&lt;br /&gt;-Become a ratty and join the Facebook group &lt;a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/twilightshitposting" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;-Follow their Instagram &lt;a href="https://www.instagram.com/twilightshitposting" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;-Follow their Twitter &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/twishitposting" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.</description>

Ep. 17: What Is It Like to Watch Twilight for the First Time? (feat. Jon Arias, Play by Play Commentator)

<description>&lt;b&gt;The first three Twilight soundtracks seemingly found the sweet spot. But as we enter the final two films, it’s clear that the saga is at its peak commercial success, which pushes the producers to find hitmakers like Bruno Mars and Christina Perri for the Breaking Dawn Pt. 1 soundtrack singles. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;While Mars and Perri have some of the most iconic songs of the entire saga, we question whether or not the producers can blend these pop songs with the usual angsty rock we expect from Twilight and whether or not all of the love songs on Breaking Dawn Pt. 1 are enough for our emo hearts.&lt;/b&gt;</description>

Ep. 15: Is Twilight Smut? (The Fifty Shades of Grey Episode)

This podcast bites. It sucks too. Sixteen years after the release of the ground-breaking YA romance novel, Twilight, two former TwiHards, Jena and Alyssa, consider what made us go rabid over a sparkly-skinned Victorian boy named Edward. We consider not only the impact of Twilight on our culture at large, but its influence on our tween upbringings and whether or not Edward and Bella might have set us up to seek out toxic relationships.
