• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Welcome to stuff. Mom never told you a production of
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: iHeartRadio and y'all.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: Okay, so I've already kind of hinted if you've listened
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: to any of the previous episodes that I am alone
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: because our dearest Annie is out on jury duty again,
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: civic duty.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: I get it, I get it.
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: Boo boo.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: All right, whatever, But all of that to say, I
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: have requested and I'm so excited to be joined by
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: our super producer Christina.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: Hello, Yes, thank you for matching my vibe.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: Yes, and we are doing a special happy hour because
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: you know, we have to pause the Sex and the
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: City viewing because Andy can't miss anything because you know,
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: we got that whole grating and scoring and such that
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: we have to keep on track. So until then, I
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: thought we would do a special edition of Battle of
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: the Twilight Knowledge between myself and Christina, who is the
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: ultimate fan, and y'all, I wish you could see the background.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: I might need you to take a picture because she
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: is literally in forks. And by the way, yeah, and
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: of course.
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: Edward has made it.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: Looks like it's the two pay because like the hairline
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: is too perfect. Man, she's just twisting his head.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: He is dead. He can do he could probably, Yeah,
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: I mean no, because remember how they tear each other's
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: head off.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: True, Oh we failed, you killed them, You killed them, Christina,
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: Well we even started. Oh anyway, because we are in
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: a happy hour. Of course, we are not currently sponsored
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: by any of the things that we're talking about, even
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: the rumored remake or redo of Twilight. I don't think
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: that's actually been confirmed, but people keep teasing this to me.
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah teased.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: It feels mean, uh, but nothing is currently sponsored. Things
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: could change when you know this, But right now, we
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: are not sponsoring whomever would make Twilight because I don't
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: think the film company exists anymore, do they?
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: Probably not?
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Were thee a searchlight? Who was it?
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: Folks? I think it it was? It changed like after
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: the first They should bring back the first movie first people. Yeah,
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: in the in the blue, the blue color and everything else.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: That's what they should do, so so quickly with all
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: of the bad lines like hold on Spider Monkey, which
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: I may have quoted while we were driving through Portland
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: and Seattle because of the trees and the forest and
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, I see I see Edward Colan in
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: the in the distance of the trees hopping about.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: I wanted to ask you about that, because yeah, you're
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: just there. You were in we were Twilight Nations.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: And we were in Twilight. We never went to Forks.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: I'm not really sure where Force would be, but yes,
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: we were in that area, the tree and the like
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: the foliage, and I was like, oh okay. As well
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: as the fact that by happenstance, we were upgraded from
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: our little rental car to an Audi, which was the.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Car of the color.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: Yes, so I was like, yeah, that's right, I'm rapping hard. Coincidentally,
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: I thought you would appreciate that. To do that, my
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: partner did not appreciate it as much.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: So I needed you there.
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: Maybe he's Team Jacob.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: I think he might be. We're going to find out
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: he might be team or nesme. To be honest, let's
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: let's be real clear, all right. But because yes, I
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: think it would be fun for us to do a
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: whole happy hour dedicated to Twilight spoilers, just in case
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: you've never watched any of them, much like our dear
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: and a lovely co host and friend, Annie, who hasn't
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: watched at least the rest of them.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: I think she said she has seen parts of some
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: of them.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: Right, yeah, she needs to see Breaking Dawn parts one
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: and two.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Oh yes, wait, are is that where we're at?
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: Anyway, So getting back to I thought it would be
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: fun because, first and foremost, I don't think I've been
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: able to quiz you on your deep knowledge of Twilight,
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: but I need to know what is it about Twilight
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: that you loved or you love honestly.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: So I read the books when they came out ish,
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: not when they came out, but when I was in
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: middle school, and I think what I loved the most
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: was and I really loved the vampire whole everything vampire.
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: I wanted to be a vampire. I would like go
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: to sleep and be like dreaming, like, Oh, I wish
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: I could wake up and just be I wish it
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: was real. I wish it was real. I loved the
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: love story at the time, you know, as like a tween.
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: Edward was like the best man I could ever imagine,
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: which is interesting. But the world building was good. I
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: thought Bella was relatable, I'll say was that al Yeah,
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: I wanted to be her pretty bad. I did buy
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: some of her I think Hot Topic sold her jacket.
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: Of course, her jacket, and it was an awesome jacket,
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: Like I wish I still had it. I would still
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: wear it. I wanted to dress like her. I probably
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: wanted a truck, a horrible truck.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but I don't know.
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I just I liked I liked the vampire love and.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: The vampire love. Yes, I like that you're calling it
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: the vampire love.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: So you were always from Jump Team Edwards, like, no
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: matter what happened, you were always gonna be.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: I don't think I was ever even mad at him
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: in the books, Like even though he kind of did
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: Bella dirty, I.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Did Bella dirty.
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: I still I still liked him.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: He still loved him. You could fix him, that thought,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: I can.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: It's fine fine now looking back on it, because obviously
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: you still have Like what because maybe this is my
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: sent mentality, This has everything to do with my own
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: like I don't care about things. How did you keep
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: up with because I cannot believe that you have found
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: your Edward and.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: You had a shirt, you had all of them.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: Do you have all the memorabilia still or did you
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: give some of that away or did your mom or parents?
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: It is sitting in my home back in Pennsylvania. So
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: I have it all still. I have like a giant
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: stack of magazines if it even just featured them on
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: the cover, which a lot of them did back then.
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: I made my mom buy it for me. I had.
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: I think I had two of these Edward Barbie's. I
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: don't know why. Maybe it was a gift, I'm sure,
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: but for one to stay in the box obviously, and
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: one to play with.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: So now one's worth something at least nineteen dollars.
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: Not yet, I'm waiting for that day, but I had.
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: I had a lot of memorabilia. I was like a collector,
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: and I think that's another part that I loved about
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: the series is that it was like a community of
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: people going to the midnight premieres buying all this stuff.
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: I felt very proud of it. I would go to
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: websites that were like fan pages for It's very anti coded,
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: if anything. I went to all these fan pages for
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: like Edward Cohen and did the Twilight series and everything. Yes,
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: I'll have to send you. I had like my whole
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: wall was covered in uh, Robert Pattinson Edward posters. I
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: recently found some photos or digit seed in the background.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: I'm like, wow, yeah, oh, when he does.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: Wait, so you would have been around you said you
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: were in middle school, so maybe like thirteen twelve thirteen.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, probably.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: Oh god, I'm old because I was definitely out of college.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: And I've read them too, Like it took me a
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: long time. I think, not a long time. I think
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: the first movie premiered before I even jumped in this,
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: so like I did not have anyone imagined because I
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: already saw Robert Pattinson as Edward, so like it was
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: that was that error.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: But I was like, oh, oh I'll read this, Oh
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: oh i'll read this. Oh let me get those next week.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: Like I ended up that person because I did really
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: really enjoy it. Going back and rereading it, I was like, oh, it's.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: It's not as good as I thought.
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I think I always in my head it's
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: always been Robert Pattinson. So the movie came out in
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: two thousand and eight, and yeah that was a that's
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: probably how I knew about the book and okay I
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: got in so you always saw him as well too, Yeah,
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: like I can the cover of the I kid, I'm
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: looking at it right now. It's the Twilight book cover
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: slash movie cover. Maybe it has like him and her
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: and yeah, yeah, this is nostalgic just seeing this image.
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: I'm sure I had a poster of it.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: Did you have all the special editions?
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: I did?
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: I had a special edition DVDs?
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I did too. I think I went
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: all out and I was like, I need the best
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: of the best. There was also a ring. So there
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: was this ring that had a quote that Edward said,
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: and I wore it every day for probably like two years.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: Oh my god.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: Legitimately, like you bought like a replica or was that
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: like a bad plastic makeup?
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: Not bad but like metal.
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: Oh, it was decent quality. I think it was just
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: from hot topic, but like that was a big merch thing.
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: Was like the quotes that he said.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: Oh my, yes, this was adult me.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: Remember this because I was at least I'm at least
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: like at this point, I think probably fifteen years older
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: than you.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: I still am, I guess anyway, just as.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: A reference of like age difference. And I was like, yeah,
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: I like it. I didn't buy posters. I didn't buy
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: like figurings or anything. The book and the DVDs were.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: Enough for me.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: However, when I found out she had the Edward Perspective version.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: I immediately found it online and printed the entire thing.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: And I at work at a job. I'm not ad
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: any long.
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: That's amazing, No, I mean, that's what a work printer
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: is for.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: I really got a wait with that too, because it
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: was like two hundred pages.
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: You know, I don't remember if I even read that.
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: Like when did that version come out? Do you remember?
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: So it was leaked, Okay, had to be like twenty ten.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: I was still like caught up in it.
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know if I knew about it, and
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: I may have even had some hard copy somehow. I
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: don't know if I so long ago.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: So yeah, she released it in twenty fifteen, okay, as.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: A mid nice Sun.
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: Yes, that might have been after I was already in
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: high school and I was already shamed enough for loving
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: it so much as a teenager. So it's possible that
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: I bought it and then I just never read it
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: because I was like moving on. Unfortunately.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: Oh no, I think I'll lie to you.
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: It's saying it was released in twenty twenty, but there's
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: no it wasn't four years ago.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: I definitely read it like much much earlier. I'm pretty
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: sure maybe.
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: It was like some fan related some I.
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: Don't know, somehouse. I don't know if she did it
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: accidentally and or what. So she released it in twenty twenty,
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: but it gave her like enough time to rehype it
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: because of course we had long forgotten about it at
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: this point because she did the role gender Reversal with
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: Edith and Bow.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: Did you read that version?
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: No? I didn't, but you've told me about it, and
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: it I just found.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: Out about it.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I just found out about it, which I'm like,
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: if any of listeners have read either one of these,
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: I need your commentary because that's dedication. Yes, and I
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: know she did a The Host was an adult fiction
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: book that she did, which got me very confused because
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: there's also like a Korean film in some other like
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: I think an American horror film.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: I don't think it got as much attention.
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I haven't thought about that long time. I don't
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: even know what the plot was, but I remember being
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: interested because it was her, and I was like, oh,
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: it's the same universe. Maybe somehow I wasn't monster. Yeah,
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: that's a bit bit different.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: A little bit different. Okay, So if I just have
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: some quizits for you, if you could change one thing
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: about the Twilight Universe, whether it's a character, whether it's
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: a result of a character, what would be that one thing?
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: Okay, so I would say, as memorable and memorable and
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: kind of funny and strange, the ending is with the imprinting,
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: I would probably change that. Yeah, it kind of you know,
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: muddied up the like it was like the final nail
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: in the coffin for anybody who was like on the
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: fence about it and like wanted to make fun of it.
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: And it was hard to defend such a plot back then.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: So maybe I would change the way that happened.
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel like it was like an attempt to
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: tie up loose ends and like I don't know, I
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: guess make team Jacob people happy to give him some
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: sort of love. But I would probably change the way
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: that was.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: That was not cute. I think my biggest thing is like,
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: why did you have to name her?
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: Not my biggest name, but one of the biggest things, Like,
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: especially like book version, why did you have to call it?
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: Rendesme?
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: I think I was so disappointed in the name that
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: like y'all couldn't think of it, You couldn't y'all.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: Nobody. Nobody could workshop this. Nobody Renesme, come on home.
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: My name after her mom, who honestly wasn't around Esme
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: deserved the you.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: Know, any like split it up, make one Rene or something,
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: y esme Renee, like.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: Actually me Renee would have been super cute.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Stephanie Meyer, if you're listening to this, I apologize,
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: but yeah, that would have been like a bigger Why
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: did you do this? Because no one could defend that
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: name either.
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: Everybody was like, yeah, that the whole, the wholenesme. Everything
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: about it was probably needed a work a workaround, or.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: There is so much. There's so much I needed to
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: work around.
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: And you know, if if let's say, Twilight does have
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: a reboot or remake, because like I've been seeing and
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: I don't know, Let's be honest, the actors who are
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: not as big as Robert Pattinson or Kristen Stewart have
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: been doing a tour recently. Have you have you seen
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: any of the tiktoks where they do at least conventions together.
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: Have you seen seen a few mentions of such a thing.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: Like Jackson Rathbone and the one who plays the sporty
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: Kellen who plays a sporty, sporty vampire. Uh, they've done
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: some tiktoks together. Ashley Green has done some with them
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: as well.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, actually I have seen who plays Rosaligan who I
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: actually really love her as an actress, that is Nicky
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: Reid and Nicky Reid, that's what it is, and who
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: was actually famous on her role, Like she's on some things,
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: but she hasn't quite hit that level where we see
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson and a Kendrick who was
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: like a sidebar. So all of those things to say,
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: they've been doing the circuit where they are traveling with
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: and like doing some promotions as these celebrities, like literally
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: like that's their background picture. So with that, what would
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: be your perfect reboot cast? As well as what would
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: you add that maybe he had been taken out of
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: the books into the plot or would you I know,
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: that's a deep question because that's a lot probably something
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: to thank God, I'll give you. I'll give you fifteen seconds, Okay.
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: I honestly I don't know if I could see anyone
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: but Robert Pattinson as Edward. I think he must reprise
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: his role. And you know, Kirsten Stewart is awesome, but
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: I I feel like you'd be forcing you'd be forcing
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: both of them to do it. They wouldn't want to
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: be doing it. But I don't know. I would love
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: to see them reunite in a way. But I also
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: love the direction that Kristen's wet snowing in all her movies,
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: and I think she's no longer that same, you know,
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: type of image that she was playing back then. But
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: Robert Pattinson to easily probably still play Edward and he
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: was just Batman, you know, like how different is that?
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: But I don't know, like it's just hard to imagine
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: anybody knew, like who else to play Alice? You know,
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: I want Alice to remain.
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: Although she was really not that great, like the she
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: got better, she got better. And I say this as
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: the non actor who in our ads is a really
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: bad actor.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: But I'm like, she could just be.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: Okay, I don't maybe, like I don't know if I could.
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: I couldn't see anybody else. Now it's kind of too
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: late for that, But I was like, originally I was like,
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: uh huh, I think I felt similar to like Nicky
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: Reid being the fair blonde Rosalie because I already did
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: know Nicky Reid and she is fairly like dark hair,
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: dark eyes, all those and I like that.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it doesn't track.
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: Was a bit off putting for sure. Yeah, but yeah,
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: I mean I just have a hard time imagining anybody
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: else playing these characters that I love. I mean, I
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: would definitely watch a reboot if it had anybody in it.
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: But like in the middle moment, must still have rubber pants, And.
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: What if we had like a backstory, like you know
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: how they like to continue the story, and then we
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: had renesme and it was the basis of her life
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: and then we see kind of like but they would
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: have to pop in. Well, we would need to see cameo.
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: Yes, you would have to. Maybe that's that's the ideal
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: reboot is Renes is grown up and she goes by
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: Esme or so she changes.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: Her name, but Mimi she just goes by Mimi. Yeah,
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: which is a very old person.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: But like, come on, give me something that's more believable.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: I mean, to be fair.
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: Well is again one of those cheesy things of like
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: what is I guess she's leaning into it.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: But it's not. It's like a boomer making the joke.
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like they wanted they knew that Renesme was
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: so silly, they just had to pile on to that
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: they had to keep. Yeah, I would love to see
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: her grown up. And I guess Taylor Lawner has to
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: remain the same. Yeah, it doesn't look any different. So
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: he did still play himself.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: I think he could do well.
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: They he has to h slowly, but he's supposed to
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: look sturdier and stronger anyway, so I think it would
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: make sense. Taylor Lattner's probably would be down for this
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: because they did him dirty. Hollywood did him dirty, So
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: I feel like he would be down to do this.
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: I feel like all the rest of them, outside of
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: Anna Kendrick, Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson, I.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: Think they would all be down.
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: I like that.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: Amazon. Are you listening to us?
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah? Are you listening?
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: Are you listening?
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: Hello?
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: Can we get on this because at the very least
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: we could have some good tales, especially now that they've
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: introduced the world of so We SHO could at least go.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: Traveling and meet new vampires and bring new characters.
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I would love that actually, yeah, or like even
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: like a mini series or something.
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: Do a Korean limited series where you just have one
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: season where each episode is an hour and fifteen minutes
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: long and he's done like after sixteen episodes.
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that would be awesome. It would be so much
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: more content than a movie. And right, it would be
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: so watchable and fun that that would be fun. I think. Yeah,
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: like a limited series and Rene is older and small
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: cameo Edward right Ella and Charlie and uh, Charlie's new
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: woman I think right at the end of the.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: Gets married to one of the Kailou.
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'd love to see that. I guess they can
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: bring the mom back for once.
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Wen, they would probably coming back just to say hi,
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: make sure she but like that means she would have
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: to be in on the secret.
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so have that.
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like that has to still be like an
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: ongoing plot. Is who can know about.
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: Well, Charlie already knows. Yeah, he doesn't want to know,
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: so we know he knows.
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know, right, Yeah, there has to be
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: some big drama related to spilling this.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: I feel like, oh yeah, absolutely, something along the lines
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: where like they go away and come back, and then
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: she's like, why are you still the same?
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: Although they're not the same.
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: I think our pivotal point is that Bella and Edward,
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: who are all obviously ry in love with each other,
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: they are each other so many even with their daughter,
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: but they go away for extended periods of time to
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: travel the world and do their own thing to have
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: their eternal honeymoon. So we rarely see them except for
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: through like zoom.
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: Calls yes, oh perfect that they would probably read maybe
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: that's the right to do.
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: Right, And then and then we.
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: Have Vultore still watching uh nessy, and so they are
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: always on the lookout and having like a little battles
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: with different people as they continue to spy to see
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: if she's still doing okay, And so they have to
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: still go around and still make uh allies, but they
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: make some enemies.
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: Like yeah, we can't.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: We got the plot, Christina, seriously.
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: And bring back some newborn drama that's always fun, that
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: has to happen all the time. You sillier plots like
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: I don't know, like an animal, like an animal like
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: or like a I don't know, like something is vampiic,
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: but it's not like non human or something. I don't know.
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: Well, who was the little sidekick to Jacob who was
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: so cute and he was just happy, go lucky and
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: happy to be around all the time and loved the
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: vampires and and the world and being a wolf. Yeah,
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: he's the one that lost his father with Leah his sister.
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: Why do I remember her name? Leah his sister?
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I know you're talking about.
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, we need to.
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: Have him do some adventures and like being as well
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: for sure. Yeah, dude, okay, who who can we?
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: Can you write a screenplay?
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: Christina?
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: We talked about licensing. I mean, we got to do
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: this so well, oh there's so well.
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: You know what, we went on this tangent and I
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: had intended I had like a whole quiz and I'm
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: I'm an email this to you because I want to
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: compare our score.
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: No cheating, Christina.
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: But we don't have time to do it, because if
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: we've already extended this happy hour delightfully, which I knew.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: We could, I know it flew by, it flew by.
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: But I must send to see you and I'm going
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: to report back to everyone your score to see who wins.
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: I know who wins is going to be you, but.
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I'm all rested just because.
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: You're younger and remember more than I don't know.
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: Sometimes I shock myself with with what I don't remember
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: this quiz.
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: So it's a house of worst quiz y'all.
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: So like, yeah, yeah, thrown it back, old school call
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: out to our old network. But towards the end it
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: kind of surprised me because I gave you like trivia questions,
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: trivia questions you wouldn't you might not know, including about
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: the filming or how long books did this or whatever
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: the like the directors the director has done, so that
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: might be my one plead. Yeah, because I do know
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: a little more more about Catherine Hardwick's work because I
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: knew her previously. But all that say is I'm gonna
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: send you this quiz because I need you to take it,
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: and then I'm gonna report back to everyone because it's
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: a long quiz. I'm not we're not gonna have time
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: to do this on Mike. But now that we have
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: obviously found a whole plot, all the characters that need
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: to be in it, I'm pretty sure we can get them.
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: To all agree to come on.
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: Most people who are like, yeah, people would be down
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: to audition for this.
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: I think we got it.
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: So we just need to find someone either Amazon, Netflix,
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: you know, call us.
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: We got you Booth Max.
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: You're not doing so well, so if you need if
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: you need to revamp, we got you revamp.
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: Christina it in because I don't know what I do puns. Yeah,
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: you're doing so good. This is why I knew this
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: woe works so well.
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so Christta, I'm gonna need you to as our producer,
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: super producer. Yes, get it on this. Try to try
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: to fill it out. See who we can sell the
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: script to that we have now given public.
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: At least we'll have to do an independent movie and
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: you know, we may have to star in it. Who
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: knows you can get in on it. But I'm sure
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: Annie will be done. Wait, who are we gonna I
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: have to be a vampire. I have to. It was
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: my my dream, you.
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: Know, I will say. Because there was not a lot
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: of representation. One of the things that I did love
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: about the book in the movie is that they actually
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: use people Indigenous people.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: I am not indigenous, I know this, but there are
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: brown people.
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: With like very little, uh actual credit to who they are,
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: so I would want to play Leah even though I'm
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: not in and I would never take that role away
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: from anyone. But maybe I could just be a badly
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: like made were wolf in like the Asian countries.
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: That's that I, you know, hold the territory around.
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: Please be more were wolves around the country, around the world.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, with.
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: Like lineage, because you know, the lineage could be there,
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: not necessarily, but you know it'll work because there's indigenous
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: people in Asian countries as well as Oh that's reaching
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: too far anyway, but yes, thank you so much Christina
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: for coming on you.
