"I've never been more emotionally effected by a book in my life."

Eclipse is both the best and the worst book in the Twilight Saga. It's the emotional climax of the series, and also the most problematic. We talk about all the reasons why, and do a deep-dive into the real life Quileute legends and how Stephenie Meyer's version stacks up. PLUS Maggie makes her final ruling in the Team Edward vs. Jacob debate (Nico continues to despise Edward).

This is a fascinating conversation with author Lindsay Eagar about the Mormon influences in The Twilight Saga. We dive deep into the Mormon belief system, sex, virginity, gender roles, and how Mormonism can explain why Twilight is SUCH A WEIRD STORY. Lindsay shares so many incredible insights into this religion that clearly shaped Stephenie Meyer's brain. Be sure to stick around till the end, where Lindsay gives some profound insights into the vulnerability and superpowers of motherhood.

The Creeps talk Spanish Influenza vibes, breakup best practices, whether New Moon is the bravest book ever written (spoiler: it is) if Edward had a blog, and so much more! Nico was especially clueless and old man-like this week, which was truly a treat. Thanks for tuning in and making us part of your COVID-19 experience. Stay safe, creeps.
