Along the way, we discuss the Rankin and Bass roots of holiday cheer, the icon status of Jon Favreau, and of course the way this movie makes us laugh so hard that we cry (and also makes us cry a little).
Buddy the Elf, what's your favorite color?

Hear the full episode over on our PATREON!
GOBBLE GOBBLE! Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! We wish you a lovely day full of indigestion-causing food, awkward family interactions, a day-saving viewing of Planes Trains and Automobiles, and, of course, the effortful avoidance of remembering the actual horrific story of European interactions with Indigenous peoples.
On today's episode, we give thanks for all the people, things, and metaphysical concepts that have gotten us through the dumpster fire of 2025!

TWILIGHT (2008)
This is the podcast episode of a KILLER, BELLA!
That's right, we're finally diving into the 2008 phenomenon that captured the hearts and imaginations of high school girls the world over, that made every movie after it look vaguely green for some reason, that gave us Robert Pattinson's musical oeuvre, that spawned fanfictions so culturally influential that they became literal movie franchises, that taught us all exactly how unimportant finishing sentences actually....
TWILIGHT!
Along the way, we discuss diabolical colorization, the complex relationship between vampires and menstruation, and we also introduce a BRAND NEW award just for Carlisle Cullen!
