Forkin ‘ell - A Twilight Podcast

For our last episode of season two, we discuss Twilight in 2024. Are we really experiencing a Twilight Renaissance? The recent collabs and merch drops certainly say we are. We talk about them all (including why artists in the community have long been doing it better) and Vic’s magical night at Twilight in Concert. Let us know your thoughts over on Instagram @ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠forkinellpod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ . // Music by ⁠...

For our penultimate episode, it’s time for the battle royale of Edward versus Jacob! And this week, we’re seeing who is better for Bella at this point. Join us for the pros and cons list of all pros and cons lists - we didn’t slot ourselves into this scenario at all. Promise*. *We’re lying, soz.

New Moon introduced us to a whole bunch of new characters. On this week’s episode we get to know the wolves and the Volturi, and discuss how the casting of well-known stars like Michael Sheen added a sense of credibility to the series. We also answer a very important question: Aro, Caius, Marcus - snog, marry, avoid? Let us know your thoughts over on Instagram @ ⁠⁠⁠⁠forkinellpod⁠⁠⁠⁠ . // Music by...

Let’s talk about Bella. In this episode we discuss how Bella changes through the events of New Moon and her relationship with Jacob, the book/film depictions of Bella’s depression, and how PERFECT that window scene is.

Time for Jacob Black to have his moment in the sun. This week we talk about Jacob’s glow up (and why we still miss the long hair!), Taylor Lautner’s best line deliveries, and why, for the most part, New Moon has us switching to Team Jacob. Let us know some of your favourite Jacob moments over on Instagram @ ⁠⁠forkinellpod⁠⁠ // Music by ⁠⁠AnnieMUSIC⁠⁠ // //Artwork by ⁠⁠Jason Chester⁠⁠ //

We’re heading into our second and final part of the New Book review today, and we still have a fair bit to discuss. We’re talking looooooong travel sections, Bella’s attitude towards new found friends and a certain tone from one Mr. Swan… As always, we’d love to know your thoughts, so let us know some of your favourite scenes over on our Instagram @ ⁠forkinellpod⁠ // Music by ⁠AnnieMUSIC⁠ // //Art...

It’s time for us to head back in between the pages this week and dive into New Moon. Unlike Midnight Sun’s episode from the last series, we’ve decided to not wang on forever and split the chat in half, as our case is packed to the rafters with thoughts on this book.

For this week’s episode, we’re doing a full 180 on our Robsession episode from season one. That’s right, Edward, we’re mad at you. Despite New Moon distinctly lacking in Edward screen time, we discuss how omnipresent our once favourite moody vampire is in the film’s tone and Bella’s actions, the many comparisons to Romeo and Juliet, and how exasperating his actions are considering where we left of...

Following on from last week’s rewatch, we’re easing ourselves in this week with a general chat and laughs along the way - as per. We’re talking about tone shifts, the rumours of the TV show and Laura having a chat with *the* CATHERINE HARDWICKE. Yes, visionary director CATHERINE HARDWICKE. What is life?! Follow us over on our instagram @forkinellpod // Music by Annie’s Music Place // //Artwork by...

Even though it’s Monday, just pretend it’s #ThrowbackThursday for this week’s ep – we’re taking a little trip down memory lane to where it all began and the hysteria surrounding the first movie in the Twilight Saga. We’re also exploring how some marketing solutions can somewhat hinder a project, life-altering cast experiences and cinema reactions from way back when. Do you have a funny memory from...

It’s the battle of book vs. movie this week, as Vic and Laura explore the differences between the novel and the screenplay. We also dive into what we would have liked to have seen, what the movie got right and what it got a little bit wrong, too. So, it does beg the question – which is better?

Yes. Yes we have gone there. How can we not? We had to talk about Robert Pattinson at some point, so why not dedicate a whole episode to the lad. We discuss his role within the saga of the pivotal character that is Edward Cullen, some personal views (ofc) and Laura treats us all to a game that only she can sell. Strap in, it’s a funny one. * NO ROBS WERE HARMED IN THE MAKING OF THIS EPISODE – WE P...

Twi-hards, we’ve heard it all before, haven’t we?! The slating of our favourite saga is tiresome, and this week Vic and Laura have bloody had enough. We’re talking about the social rudeness of Twilight, why and how many of us fans are aware and fine of its flaws, and how age comes with learning how not to give two fangs about what people think.
