It was a franchise that critics turned their noses up at and movie snobs rolled their eyes at, but Twilight proved all of them wrong at the box office. When it comes to the movie itself, however, they may have been proven right. A Mormon’s tale of yearning and romance is actually a cautionary tale of gaslighting and abusive behavior. If you loved this one as a teen, you may be surprised at how it plays nearly twenty years later. So grab a beer (regardless of the time of day) and hold on tight, spider monkeys, cause we’re breaking (dawn) this one open as we discuss the film, plus the ghost truck of Forks, Taylor Lautner’s best bit, and Mallie’s live reaction to watching the final fight scene in Breaking Dawn - Part 2 for the first time. All of that and so much more with returning betrothed guests Priscilla Hendry and Ashley Simmons.
Twilight stars Nikki Reed, Kellan Lutz, Billy Burke, Ashley Greene, Robert Pattinson, Jackson Rathbone, and Kristen Stewart. Directed by Catherine Hardwicke.
