Description

All good things must come to an end. Or do they? As we finally close out Monster Mania May with the movie that inspired the whole theme, we’re also kicking off a brand new event. Welcome to…Twilight Summer! For four months, we’ll be diving into the moody, sparkly, and supernatural saga so naturally we have to begin with the one that started it all—Twilight (2008). Before it became a worldwide phenomenon (and a box office juggernaut), this first flick was more akin to a small-budget indie, complete with a blue-tint look and soundtrack that still slaps. Catherine Hardwicke brought emo to the forefront along with a generous amount of unintentionally hilarious moments. On our latest episode, we’re breaking it all down with special guest and artist behind our logo Kate Bashaw. So hold on tight spider monkeys while we share our franchise histories, talk gaslighting vampires, and experience our own on-air Bella moment.
