Red Flags: A Twilight Podcast

We've reached the climax, folks! James is in town, and Bella's common sense just left. How did we get to the Alice reveal with no foreshadowing? Can we reconcile the biggest plot hole in the book? How come Edward has to suck the venom?

The climax of this book is really shaping up to be... Well, pretty anticlimactic, actually. When did cell phones arrive in Forks? Why don't vampires watch TV? How did James get this phone number?

Everyone's got to admit they're wrong sometimes, and it's our turn to say we were wrong about how interesting Carlisle's origin story would be. Would Carlisle approve of Bella and Edward touching his priceless painting? Does SMeyer create innuendos intentionally? Was Emmett worth the first non-quote swear of the podcast?

Trigger warning in this episode for mention of self-harm multiple times through the episode in relation to Carlisle and Esme's origin stories.

Boy howdy, do these things just keep getting longer! What grade would you give Edward's presentation on his powers? Is it more concerning that Edward stalks Bella, or that she is flattered by it? How is Carlisle the most interesting character so far?

Trigger Warning in this episode for mention of addiction and eating disorders starting at approximately 21:30, and ending at approximately 24 minutes in if you'd like to skip over it.

In today's episode, it's Microphone? Schmicrophone! Where the tech is made up and the sound quality doesn't matter (sorry guys). How many times can we summarize the same school day without messing up the timeline? Will Bella ever try in gym class? How did Bella not die of thirst on her hike with Edward?

Note: As mentioned above, it appears that Kait's mic wasn't working properly during this recording. We tried to fix it up as much as possible, but there are a few places where audio will be a little on the quiet side. Apologies for this!

In today's episode, Jay and Kait talk about chapters 7-9. Does Bella's computer have a virus? What is an "estrogen rush"? How does Edward not have speeding tickets? TW for implied sexual assault.

Note: We're trying out a new thing where we read out some of the notes we took when reading. Let us know if you like this or not!

In this episode, Jay and Kait mainly discuss Edward's choice in car ride music. Why are all the boys into Bella? Is dissecting cats in high school normal? What does Jacob Black have to do with the Cullens? Side-note: Kait would like to express that she does know that the square root of 100 isn't 12.

What do Jay and Kait remember (and misremember) from reading the first book of the Twilight series? Were they team Edward, or team Jacob? Does Jay realize that Twilight actually came out in 2005, not 2007? Note: There was a learning curve in recording for the first time, so we're aware that some background noises sound less than pleasing. We'll get better, promise!
