We wrap up our conversations about Bill Condon’s adaptation of the second half of Stephenie Meyer’s novel, tackling werewolves, vampires, vampire babies, Volturi, witnesses, Charlie, and more as we discuss the 2012 film ‘The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2.’
We’ve been invited to Bella’s and Edward’s wedding, along with everyone in Forks it seems. That’s right, it’s time for Bill Condon’s adaptation of the first half of Stephenie Meyer’s final novel of her vampire/werewolf saga, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1. Is the camp back? What do we think of the wedding and honeymoon? What about the baby? The werewolf antagonistic subplot? Lots to unpack. Tune in!
We continue our debate about Team Edward or Team Jacob as we get mired in the love triangle vs. Riley & the Newborns. That’s right, we’re talking about David Slade’s 2010 film ‘The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.’ Is this the worst of the series? Tune in to find out!
We wrap up our look at Gareth Evans’ series of Indonesian action films with a conversation about ‘The Raid 2: Berandal.’ It’s intense, it’s epic, it’s bloody, it’s operatic. We have a great time chatting about it.
We kick off our new series looking at Gareth Evans Indonesian action saga starting with his 2011 film “The Raid”, or “The Raid: Redemption” as it was released in the States. Just another action movie or something that feels like it’s excelling and adding something to the landscape of action cinema? Tune in!
We’re wrapping up our 18-year journey with Jesse and Céline as we close our conversations about Richard Linklater’s Before Trilogy. In this episode, we’re talking about the 2013 film “Before Midnight.” It’s quite the disagreement about the film and the journeys of our characters. Tune in!
We wrap up our aca-conversation about the Bellas. Now they’re performing with the USO tour as they sing their way across Europe. How does it play? Is it better than the second film or worse? And did we need the action antics brought with the inclusion of Fat Amy’s dad? We certainly have some thoughts. Tune in!
We wrap up our Cloververse franchise conversations with this member bonus episode, in which we discuss Julius Onah’s 2018 film “The Cloverfield Paradox.” Would it have been better without the Cloververse connections? Tune in!
