Episode 171: Kraalnor

Twilight chapter 10/Midnight Sun chapter 11 (Theory) Well, the new Fantastic Beasts movie is on HBO Max now, so I guess we have to watch it... soon. This week, however, we have a strange pairing of Twilight chapters set almost entirely in a car going 80-100mph. We chat about Bella's confession, how enigmatic Edward truly is (and how Midnight Sun fiddles with that perception), vampire murder morality, driving physics, and so much more! Then, in our third segment, we discover that despite being much smaller than Harry Potter, Twilight was not free from head-scratching op-ed pieces relating it to whatever was in the news that week (in this case: calling the 2012 election!). Will you be prepared when Kraalnor, the Soultaker, comes for you? (mild content warning: similar to last week, this book's fairly tasteless handling of assault is on the docket this episode)
