Listen "*SPECIAL EPISODE* THE TWILIGHT OF CINEMA"
Episode Synopsis
Send us a textFork Fangs Superstar guest Annabel has moved to the other side of this crumbling planet and, as a final binge before she left, she requested we all watch the Twilight movies and then do an episode talking about it. Actually she agreed on the first film in the series but somehow we ended up watching all of them. Ken, Jack, Annabel. Thomas and Ryan discuss all five Twilight films, the first of which was practically shot in our backyard here in Portland, OR, and its ongoing legacy on cinema in general, particularly the affection Gen Z has for the series (is it ironic? genuine?!?). A modern model of decompression, the ten+ hours of the Twilight movies tell a story about a human girl and a vampire boy who wants her so badly it physically makes him ill. There are also werewolves and vampire dandies and... Peter Murphy?? They all end up fighting and there is a weird baby an adult man sincerely falls in love with. We nimbly discuss the series' meteoric rise and equally precipitous fall and rise again. It's pretty much Citizen Kane but with more brooding, really fast running and pieces of exploded jorts all over the forest.Vampires in the sun do look like Sour Patch Kids, FYI.
