Episode 56: Breaking Dawn Parts 1 & 2

Fang Club

Twilight November #3
This November, Bri and Leah are finally tackling THE vampire films of the 21st century. That's right, we're covering the Twilight Saga in honor of the tenth anniversary of the release of Breaking Dawn: Part II. Our Twilight Saga series will be three episodes.
This week, we're talking about the epic conclusion to the Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Parts 1 (2011) and 2 (2012), both directed by Bill Condon. If you couldn't tell already, talking about Twilight makes us loopy, and we go OFF this week. Like, off the rails tangents about Edward's vampire venom sperm. So, this episode is marked explicit for a handful of f-bombs and some spicy speculations about vampire reproductive biology. We also get a little reflective at the end of this episode and try to figure out what, exactly, the cultural impact of Twilight has been.
