"Hold on tight, spider monkey"Andy returns to MoviePod to discuss the hit film Twilight. As Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart's careers have hit new critical heights people have treated this young adult adaptation with far less contempt. This film always had its fans but the detractors have softened their vitriol. This is still a batshit insane film and our discussion is a lot of fun.You can follow me on ⁠⁠⁠Bluesky⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠, and Letterboxd.Please keep sending mail my way!
