episode 2: 2008, where the hell have you been, loca?
the twilight saga was a phenomenon and an iconic sports movie, as we all know. we discuss the cultural impact and our love-hate relationship with twilight, comparing it to the books, the character dynamics, and the absolute chokehold it had on the YA fiction industry, the hot topic merch inventory, and an entire generation of teens and tweens. epic soundtracks tho (looking at you, "decode" by paramore). join us on this 2008 nostalgia couch that we found in a forest in forks, washington.
