G&C Podcast - Episode 278: Alex Explains The Plot Of Twilight (Whether Bill Likes It Or Not)!

[00:00:00] Hey everybody, on this episode of Gaming and Collecting, Alex is going to be explaining to us the plot of Twilight. And I am going to have to learn and answer some trivia questions after. Yay. But anyways guys, on with the episode.

[00:00:17] How you been?

[00:00:48] Rough week. I won't lie. Work was kinda not great. Unfortunately some people got laid off, which always kinda sucks.

[00:01:00] But I kinda feel like that's just how corporate America is working, cause technically I do work for a corporation. So, it's just a little scary. But thankfully it wasn't me, but you just feel bad for those who were. So, I just... It was kinda a bummer week. Like everyone at work was just like, this... Like, this week kinda sucks. And then I had to visit a supplier this week too. Yeah.

[00:01:29] Which went good, but there's this guy that I hate and I'm being forced to work with him and he just... I just... I hate people who don't try at all. Like, I don't know. Like, I get he's in the same boat that I was where I got kind of like voluntold to the position I'm in now. But I at least like tried. This guy just sits there and goes, I don't know what I'm doing. I don't know.

[00:01:54] I don't know what I'm doing. And then like, I literally will see him walk around and be like, I'm just putzing around cause I don't know what I'm doing. So, I just... I don't like people like that. Especially when like, it ends up pushing all the work onto me. And I'm like, I don't want him to get fucking credit for what I'm doing. Fuck that! But uh... Yeah. So he... We went to a supplier. He went... Showed up late. To the supplier. That was good.

[00:02:23] Uh... And then proceeds to just embarrass himself by asking the stupidest questions. Only asked like five questions. I asked like 50 questions. Uh... And just like at one point... Cause you know how like some people are super expressive and you can just read their faces? And their face says, this guy's an idiot. That's what... That's what our face said. So... I hate that guy. I hope he gets fired. I fucking hate him. I hate him so much. I hate him.

[00:02:54] I just... I don't know. I don't... I just don't like people who don't try at all. You know? And apparently he did that before in his other role too. So I'm just like, just go away. Oh, he's a serial falling upward person. Yeah, no. Cause I found out that a girl quit. She was finding another job. Cause he just kept pushing all of her... All of his Emmy work onto her. So I'm like, wow. Like, you just suck. Like... So who's he got compromising photos of?

[00:03:24] No. I don't... I don't know. I think things are going to... I think his world's gonna crash down soon. I have a feeling. So... But yeah. I just... I don't know. I just... So I was happy he made an embarrassment of himself. Cause... He wasn't... He didn't even know why we were going. I literally had to explain to him why we were going. Cause we were... We were bringing two parts down. I don't want to fully explain what they are. But basically we were...

[00:03:53] Like we were having an issue with a process. And one of the... The engineer who was coming with us was like, Hey, can we swap out one of the parts because of X, Y, and Z reason? And I was like, oh yeah. And he's like, we don't need to swap the parts. Not the... The idiot was like, we don't need to swap the parts. Oh, it's fine. I'm like, no, it's not fine. This is a critical feature of why we're going. Yes, we need to swap the... I was like... I literally... I almost called him an idiot. Like I almost did. I like yelled at him. I was like, are you... Like I almost said, are you dumb? This is why we're going.

[00:04:23] So I had... Yeah. So I fucking hate him. So I never wish for Zon to lose their job, but... I hate his guts. If they deserve to lose their job, then it's all fine in my place. As far as I'm concerned. Yeah. He totally fucking deserves it. So. Yeah. So that was my week. But I've been doing a good job. And I've got... I think it's less... It's less than 20 days until I'm on a boat. So I'm on a boat.

[00:04:53] So on vacation. You get to watch F1 on a boat. It'll be great. Yep. Yeah. Because that's the next race. Poor LeClerc. Alex is... Alex is officially converted. She's now an F1 fan. I am. It's fun. Like... I'm just amazed, like... How fast. Like... You've never given a craft about sports. Like, really at all. I don't know. But then this one, you're just like... I'm in.

[00:05:22] It's interesting and entertaining. It is. And it fits my attention span, too. It really is. It's just the right period of time. Because that's why I can't get into a lot of... That's why, like, I stopped watching NASCAR. Because it's just so freaking long. Uh-huh. Yeah. What was that? Beer? Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. Where is it?

[00:05:57] You're so excited. I love this music. It's a beer. I've been drinking this for the last, like, four hours. Because I was watching the Indy race and I fell asleep. What kind? You have to say the name of it for the listeners. It's a Molson Canadian lager. Beer. Because I felt like a beer. You felt like a Canadian beer. It's called John Molson's... John Molson's signature there.

[00:06:26] I don't know who that is. Either it's a joke or it's the guy who founded the company. It doesn't... It doesn't... Here's my little fun fact. It doesn't say drink responsibly. It says celebrate responsibly. All right. That's pretty... I honestly... I kind of like that. We need that vibe. Celebrate responsibly. If you're going to drink a generic beer, it is a step up from regular generic beer.

[00:06:55] And it's funny because it's like the same color scheme as like a PBR. Which is just funny. What are you drinking? What do you think? Your water jug. Yeah, from my water bottle. It's just water from a water bottle. It's secretly filled with vodka. No. You're like, no. It's water. I need to hydrate.

[00:07:24] My tummy's been hurting all day, so I need to hydrate. But I have a new sticker on it. It's Hello Kitty in a bottle? Or a trash can. One or the other. I think it's a bottle. What is the implication that Hello Kitty's trash? No. She's wonderful. But yeah, I'm just drinking water today because I have to be focused for our topic today. Since I'm leading the podcast today.

[00:07:54] But anyways. Have you been watching anything recently? I have not watched this week's most recent animes, but I have been keeping up with the ongoings. I watched. So I did watch the My Hero Academia more special. Yes. How was it? It was fine. It was like a perfect ending. But my God, that fandom is a bunch of fucking psychopaths. I swear to God. Yep. They're arguing about nothing.

[00:08:24] Like literally. They're arguing about nothing. Their builder just said that Baku Deku was not canon. Okay? It was never. Just let them be sad and let them draw their fan art. Okay? I saw on Twitter a bunch of fan art recreating the scene above Baku Deku instead. See, that's fine. It's more the ones that are like doing mental gymnastics just to prove that like.

[00:08:53] Just to prove that that's canon. No, they're trying to prove that like it's like platonic and not romantic, which I'm like cope. Cope hard, buddy. It's so funny how it reminds me so much of the goddamn Inuyasha fan base because they're just as fucking insufferable. It's fair to God. There's a reason why people call the My Hero Academia fan base stinky. Stinky! My God. It's been just so funny though because I'm just like, Jesus Christ.

[00:09:23] There's like one official couple in the show. And it's like people are losing their fucking minds and I'm just like, Jesus. Okay. I watched that though. And they already announced another special because it's still not over. Oh, really? Another one? They're animating that one-off chapter. Oh, with Eri. I saw that. They're doing the Eri chapter. Aw. As they should because everyone loves Eri. Hmm. She's a pure- She was the best part about that arc.

[00:09:53] Pretty much. Yeah. That season. Like. Yeah. Because everything else, that one is such a dark arc in the series. I mean like, there's a lot of dark moments, but that was the first like really dark one. The problem with that arc is it goes on for goddamn too long. Like it is, it is like, it is like 10 episodes too long. In all honesty. They could have easily fit another fucking high school fucking like gym class or something in there. Yeah.

[00:10:23] And then season five is just whatever. It's season five. Yeah. It's filler. Filler up to the big one. Hey, hey. It's all right. Whatever the fuck. That song is the worst. Yeah. It was an instant skip every time I heard it. Anything else you've been watching? Any other news? Oshinoko season three. Holy fuck. Oh, is the dub finally coming out? It's been coming out. Oh, it has?

[00:10:52] I told you last week. I know you probably forgot, but yeah, it's coming out on both Crunchyroll and High Dive. I've been watching it on High Dive mostly because it's easier to find that way. Because finding it on Crunchyroll is a pain in the ass. It's been really good, but holy shit, is it dark? Like, oh my god. I kind of think when I go to watch that, I'm just going to rewatch seasons one and two to recap.

[00:11:23] See, it'll throw you off, though, because you have expectations for the series after season two. Season two was dark, but then you get to season three and you're like, oh shit. The masks are coming off. I'm kind of going into it with the mindset of like, this is going to get dark. I already know. So I'm ready for it. There's been some moments. Me and Matt have been keeping up with it on Geek Addicts, and it is, oh boy.

[00:11:53] Yeah, so that one's been great. And then the other, what was the other one? Oh yeah, Slime. Slime's coming out. Slime's been good. Very good. I saw a screenshot. Oh, I saw a screenshot of like Aruma looking, not Aruma, of Rimaru looking pissed. They both have blue hair. Yeah. And all the main characters. Yeah, I saw a screenshot.

[00:12:22] So I'm excited for that one, too. It's really good so far. Like, the animation hasn't taken a dip. The storyline is pretty interesting so far. On like, what app is it that tracks the animes? Hi-dev. I'm not. No. Not Hi-dev. My any list. Does it show the number of episodes? Or is it like a question mark? It's a question mark right now. Okay. Because that's where I'm like, I don't know.

[00:12:50] Because I kind of want to know before I commit to start watching it. Maybe I'll watch that week to week. I'll think about it. I'm watching One Piece week to week. And unfortunately, I've also started watching the goddamn Vending Machine show because it autoplayed on me. Why? Why are you doing this to yourself? Because it autoplayed. And I said, fuck it. I've already been through this journey. I might as well see it through to conclusion. Holy fuck. Like, they don't even give a shit anymore.

[00:13:20] It is just completely. I don't even know. Everyone I've talked to. Just play the intro and then just do a black screen to see if anyone actually watches it. We're watching a show about a bunch of anime girls that want to fuck a vending machine. Yeah, that's why I'm not going to be watching season three. I'm just like, I'm compelled to see how much worse it can get. That's the thing. I'm good. I have seen and I am all set.

[00:13:50] I'm all set. That's fine. Yeah, I think other than that, though, I'm watching a show for our next anime swap. I'll keep that under rest. Oh, yeah. I gotta watch that, too. I gotta watch your pick. Because, well, I actually, I re-watched my pick because I wanted to. I'm not going to say it because it's a surprise. And then after that, I was like, I kind of want more cutesy. Well, I don't want to spoil it, but I want something with similar vibes.

[00:14:19] So I started watching My Dress of Darling again. Because I just, I love those two. I hope it gets a third season or I'll be really sad. They said they want to. And I'll have to read the manga. They said they want to. If no season gets confirmed, I will start reading the manga. Yeah, it's actually kind of depressing that none of the big four of that era got complete mangas. I mean, not mangas, got complete animes. Yeah.

[00:14:51] At least I don't think, I don't think the one with the other girl from those four that I never can remember. I'm not sure if her show got finished or not, but whatever. I have no idea what you're talking about. My Dress of Darling was in a grouping with a bunch of similarly vibed shows. And they all kind of came out at the same point and none of them got finished as far as I'm concerned.

[00:15:18] Well, let's hope for My Dress of Darling. It deserves the best. Yes. Anything else you've been watching? Non-anime? Not really. This was kind of a week where I was either doing podcasts or I just felt tired. Yeah. No, same. I like... Well, I was playing Tamodachi Life a bit too, which is just so fun.

[00:15:47] I did make a Marin and Gojo for my island. I did make a Marin and Gojo, which is really cute. Nice. Yeah. I got to keep adding more people. Oh, also, you want to hear updates? So, um... There's a marriage game. Like, in order to get married, there's a minigame. And it's like you got to shoot these thought bubbles so that they don't fuck up the proposal. And I suck at it. And a lot of people do. It's not just me.

[00:16:15] So, I was able to get Kafka and Hoshina married. But every time either Zoro has tried proposing to me or I have tried proposing to Zoro, I fuck up the minigame. So, they keep wanting to get married. I keep fucking it up for them. Oh. Speakers. Wait. No, no, no. First, though. First. But now there's another factor. Oh, Jesus. Irima has fallen in love with me.

[00:16:41] And then Zoro invited him to live in our house. So, now... What weird sitcom are you creating? One point, we're all sitting around... There's, like, a dinner table. We're all sitting around it. And it's the striads, me and Irima. And then Irima's just staring at me. Me? And him and Zoro are best friends. Like, they're the closest, highest friendship ever.

[00:17:09] What, is he just sitting in the cuck chair the whole time? No, he's staring at me. He's going to try and steal me away from Zoro. Maybe this is a diversion tactic. And maybe he's actually into Zoro. And he's just using this as a distraction. Maybe. I don't know. But, yeah. So, that's been my island drama. Oh, also, Megumi and Nobara are dating. What an odd pairing. Yep. But, yeah. They're dating.

[00:17:39] I got Yor and Lloyd to date. So, they're also dating. As it should be. And then, other than that, there's just a lot of crushes. Noelle has a crush on Asta. But, Asta has a crush on Mimosa. And Mimosa has a crush on Jinchi. And Jinchi has a crush on Mau Mau. And Mau Mau has a crush on Jinchi. Okay. And then, so I have Mio. And then, why do I always forget Mio? His name. Why do I always forget his name? The guy from that show, yes.

[00:18:09] Yes. He has a crush on Mio. But Mio has a crush on Vash the Stampede from Trigun. That's just picturing that. I'm like, what kind of crack ship are you creating here? It's just. The thing is, is you just let it happen. You just let them fall in love. You're just writing your own fan fiction here. I guess so. Everyone is. That's the point of the game. It's just fuckery. And it's wonderful. I don't know. That F1 gift you sent me is still the funniest thing ever.

[00:18:38] I have been thinking about adding some F1 drivers. Because I'm running out. Well, the thing is, I want to add JoJo's characters. You just want the smooth operator there. I do. I want to add JoJo's characters. But I just am not super great at the drawing. And I'm just going to fuck it up. Because they have a lot of face definition. So I don't know. I'm tempted. But I'm holding back. Because I just am not that great as some people. Oh, yeah.

[00:19:07] So I was going to tell you. I was reading. So I caught up on Kaiju number 8 Relax recently. One of the stories in Relax is absolutely absurd. Oh, boy. So it's. That entire series is literally just nonsense. Like, it's complete. It's just. Oh, also speaking of Kaiju number 8. Also, Kafka wants to divorce Hoshida. That keeps popping up. He's like, I want a divorce. I didn't agree to this.

[00:19:37] Sorry. Hey, it's on my island. It happens. They fell in love. And now the love is dead. At least on one side. Not Hoshida. Hoshida is very much in love. More accurate. No, but so the series is basically one giant like manga. Just essentially. It's just. It's like a slice of life. Like comedy. Bits and boobs. Like none of the Kaiju stuff really ever comes up. But. Yep. There was a.

[00:20:08] One of the stories in the second volume was hilarious. It was this random. Like. So it was a Valentine's Day special. And the whole thing is like. You have to. You do this whole triathlon. Because you want to. You want to win chocolates from Mina. So the whole thing is like. All these people are signed up for it. And then Kafka is just kind of there. Yep. And he's like. Why am I here? Because he's kind of like. He's like. He's basically like. And this is.

[00:20:37] The. The. The commander's like. Childhood best friend. And he gets points for basically. No reason. And then he ends up like. We go through all these events. And they slowly whittle everyone down. So like one by one. And like. The best thing is like. Kafka literally like. Wins every event by doing absolutely nothing. Or it happens off screen. Like it just. They never show it. They just cut to being more and more confused. Like what am I even doing here? Like how did I get this far? Yeah. That's so cool. But eventually. He ends up winning by default. And then.

[00:21:09] Also the whole time. They have to carry this heart. Like the whole time. They can't drop the heart. Because like at one point. Like one of them drops the heart. And Shatter's like. I killed the heart. So he's got the heart. He. Finally like gets the end. They're like. Congratulations Kafka. You've won Mina's chocolates. And he's like. Oh that's cool. But damn. Was this heart really heavy? Or something like that. And then they comment. Kafka. That heart weighs the same amount. Has Mina. Like the commander.

[00:21:40] Because after he says that. Like she gives up. Like this death stare. And then it just cuts to. No chocolates for you Kafka. Do push-ups instead. That's just it. That's honestly great. The whole time. I'm like. I'm like. Where is this going? And then like that line pops up. I'm like. Oh. Okay. That's where this is going. That's so funny. I gotta read that. I gotta get that volume still. I'm behind on manga. Because there's just been other stuff. I've had to pay for. With like the cruise coming up. So. I'll catch up. I have a gift card.

[00:22:10] I just haven't been to Barnes & Noble in a bit. I just need to get myself there. People scare me. They do. They do scare me. Remember that. Remember that. I just remembered. We were at Target yesterday. And I just completely remembered. Our greatest Target moment ever. What? Remember that time I kissed your grandma? Mom. No. No. Oh. Wait. We have to talk about the mom button.

[00:22:40] Oh God. Mom never pressed it either. On Thursday. We found this mom button. And it just said like. It was. Every time you pressed it. It was someone going. Mom. Like. Which was funny. And the batteries didn't work. So I didn't test it in the store. So we went back to my house. After getting Chipotle. And we. I put new batteries in. Because I was sad. When it didn't work. And then we start pressing. Through the different sounds.

[00:23:09] And at first it's normal. It's like. Mom. Or like. Mom. But then it suddenly is like. Mom. Like. Mommy. Mommy. And then. What was the one that was very like. What was it? What did it sound like? It was like. Mommy. Mommy. It was just like. It got weird. It got weird really fast. So. Happy Mother's Day mom. Sorry.

[00:23:40] Until she. Uses it. And discovers that. Yeah. That was. That's pretty bad. But you know. Whoops. It was cute. And funny. I didn't. It was funny. Until it wasn't anymore. Until it wasn't anymore. But. Yeah. That. That was a time. Oh. And we also got little. Cars. We got. F1 cars. Yeah. We sure did. Because Alex needs. Alex needs as many Aston Martins as she can.

[00:24:10] So she could be. Maybe. The more Aston Martins I buy. It will somehow project. To Aston Martin. To make their engine better. That's. Every. For every Aston Martin. Alex buys. They get one additional horsepower. Yes. I sure hope so. Well. I mean. They're changing the engine regs. Next year already. So. Yeah. We'll see. Woohoo. But yeah. We got that. And then we got little. Like. Would they be called.

[00:24:39] Mini die cast? Would they be? They'd be. They're not mini die cast. They're just. I don't know what the scale would be. But they're. They're die casts. They're just smaller scale die casts. But yeah. Of the. Of the Formula One cars too. And mine was an Alonzo. And it has his Alonzo helmet. And his number. Yes. Because that was the only Aston Martin she could find. It was. And I got. So. That was fun. Oh yeah. Target. And then we got Chipotle. We got the honey. It was like the.

[00:25:09] Hot honey. Chicken. Hot honey. Chipotle chicken. That was so freaking good. And I love their chips. I love Chipotle. Chipotle. But I love Chipotle's chips. More than anything. Oh. And I almost fell in a pothole. Yeah. That almost did happen. Same call. Actually. You can't. You can't get Chipotle all the time though. Because oh boy. It's the next day. Well that's why my stomach was fucked up today probably. Probably. Because Chipotle.

[00:25:39] But it's so good. But you can only have it once in a while. But it's so good. I just. Anytime. I always think of the South Park episode. Why do you keep eating it? If it's making you shit blood. But. It doesn't do that. Have you ever actually had Chipotle? Like. It's that good. It is that good. Just I love that. That episode is great. That episode is a fucking mess too. Because that's also the episode of Dead Celebrities. Yeah.

[00:26:11] All right. All right. Bill. You can't delay it any longer. Let me get us some background music here. Some background music? What are you doing? You need. What are you doing? Yeah. We got no music. That works. Okay. Anyways. Oh wait. No. I hate you. I knew you were going to do that.

[00:26:41] I knew you were going to do that. So. This week's episode. I. Well. I tried to first make Bill at least watch the first movie. But he refused. So this is how the podcast is going to work. We are discussing. The Twilight series. I'm going to go over the synopsis. Basically. I'm going to go over the plot of the first movie. Which is just Twilight. For Bill. And after I go over that.

[00:27:11] I'm going to answer any questions Bill may have. And then. We're going to do some trivia. On Twilight. Some of the questions are going to be like. Asking him about the plot. Of the other's movies. Some are true or false. It's all multiple choice. And true or false questions. And some of them are just about the absurdity. Of these movies too. Are you ready Bill? As ready as I'll ever be. Why are you typing? I can hear you typing.

[00:27:40] You need to pay attention Bill. I am listening. I am listening. This will help you with the trivia. Okay. I don't think it will. Okay. Makes you happy. So first things first. Do you know anything about Twilight? What do you know about Twilight? Explain. Sparkling vampires. Robert Patterson. Us driving in the car that one time. Listening to Lincoln Parking. You going. Why do you have the Twilight music on your radio?

[00:28:09] And me being very annoyed. That one actress from Zathora's in this movie. Kirsten Stewart. Yes. Sure. I remember her from Zathora. Where she co-starred with. Your favorite guy from Five Nights at Freddy's. Do do do do do. Yeah. Yes. I mostly remember sparkly vampires. And that's really about it. Because. Any other mythical creatures in the movie. This franchise.

[00:28:38] Well, I know that. I know the fucking Edward Jacob shit. Just no one. Okay. Yes. Okay. So you know about Edward and Jacob. I know about the shit that like. Every. Everybody knew about. Because my God. What team were you on? I was on team shut the fuck up. That was my. That was one of my favorite memes going around. It was like. Team Edward. Team Jacob. Team shut the fuck up. Like. How many. Okay. How many movies are in total of the franchise? Like six.

[00:29:08] Five. That's pretty close. I know the last one was split in half. Yeah. There's four books. And then they split. Because we couldn't have a movie franchise. Without splitting one of the goddamn movies in half. For a while there. Yeah. It was a trend. It. It made money. It was a trend. But most of the movies that they did it. Didn't need it. No. Yeah. So these awkward splits. For no reason. This one probably. Didn't need the split. But. Hey. It happened. Like. Harry Potter. Yeah. I get that one.

[00:29:38] That was a long book. Uh. Hunger Games. Hunger Games. Didn't need it. Either. No. Because it wasn't like the big reaction. To the. To the Hunger Games. One where. Did you. Weren't you and mom like. Huh? Just over? Yeah. It was like. Well no. Yeah. The first. This. First half. It was like. Oh. Like. It. It ended on a weird note. I know the Hobbit. They. They split a very short book. Into three fucking. Full length movies. That was. Yeah. Stuff. Stuff like that. Basically. For what I remember.

[00:30:08] Is Harry Potter did it first. It was really successful. And then every studio did it. Yep. So. Yeah. You would be. Correct. And then I remember these books were like. Everywhere. When I was in middle school. Yes. I remember. Because I remember seeing. The cover to the first one. Oh. And then this. This. This. This. This. Series. Also spawned. An even bigger piece of trash. Yes. You know about Fifty Shades of Grey. I. I know about it.

[00:30:37] Because you couldn't avoid it. And I just had to watch a goddamn movie. With starring Dakota Jackson recently. Of course. And it was bad. Oh. Is that the. Madam Web. Yeah. Okay. I knew that immediately. When you said it was bad. Yeah. So yeah. This movie. This franchise. Spawned Fifty Shades of Grey. Which was originally. A Twilight. Fan fiction. So. So you have some knowledge. Of Twilight. Is what you're saying. I have basic internet lurker knowledge.

[00:31:05] I could not tell you any deep shit. About the series. So. This is gonna be fun. Okay. So. I'm gonna go over the plot. Of the first movie. And then we'll go into our trivia. You can ask some questions. About the first movie after. But then we're going right in. So. The movie starts out. Where you're introduced to Bella Swan. And guess what? Her mom. Is getting remarried. To a minor league baseball player. And she's saying. Bella. I wanna fuck my man.

[00:31:35] So you're gonna go live with your father. Just kidding. They give her a choice. But she decides to let them. Like you know. Elope. And do their own thing. So she's gonna go live with her dad. She's. I think 16 or 17. Okay. Yeah. That makes sense. So. She's in high school. So she goes. To live with. Her father. In Washington. She was living in Phoenix, Arizona. And now Washington. Very rainy. Washington. So she meets her dad.

[00:32:04] And they have the most awkward relationship ever. Throughout all the movies. It's the most uncomfortable acting you will ever see. They act like they have no idea who each other are. But you meet her. You meet him. And then you meet Jacob Black. And Billy Black. Which are two of her father's friends. And Jacob becomes a very important character. And Jacob immediately. You can tell. He has a crush on Bella.

[00:32:34] But Bella's like. You're kind of a dork. Because he's like 14. Well he's Sharkboy. Yeah. He's Sharkboy. That too. So then she goes to. She goes to her first day of school. Oh. And they also get her a truck. They get her a pickup truck. It's like a really beat up truck. And they fix it up for her. The blacks. That's who does that. So they get her a truck. So she has something to drive to school. So she drives to school. And like. This is the most unrealistic thing. Where like. She's suddenly instantly super popular.

[00:33:05] And everyone wants to be her friend. What? You mean the. The un. You mean the fan fiction high school definition? No. Yeah. The pretty girl goes to high school. And she's immediately popular. Yeah. And like. She's. So she's immediately popular. People are like. Asking her out. And she's just like. Whatever. Like. Who's the author? Who's the author? This was written by. What's her name? Shit. Where is she?

[00:33:35] Stephanie Meyer. So this is just her projecting. What she. Yeah. Definitely. I'm going to bring something up later on in the quiz. That will. You know. That will also lead to that. So she goes to her school. She's like. You know. Getting to know people. And at lunch. She notices this group. A group of. A group of aloof people come in. Known as the Cullens. And they're talking about the Cullens. And like. They're all explaining that. They're all like. Adopted siblings.

[00:34:04] They were adopted by the Cullen family. And that they're all secretly dating each other too. Which is just like. All right. That's fucking weird. Weird. And everyone is just like. Swooning over them. Because like. They're beautiful. A.K.A. The Cullens are vampires. I'm just going to tell you now. So everyone swoons over them. And they don't give a shit about anyone. Because they're vampires. And. They've been to high school. Let's just say. Many times already. Everybody. But then. Bella goes to science class.

[00:34:35] And Edward Cullen. That's one of the main characters. Is in her biology class. And the teacher has her sit next to him. And he makes. The most. Barf-tastic face at her. He looks disgusted. Gets up. And runs out of the room. That's their first interaction. I'm not kidding. He's literally like. Was this like Robert Patterson's. Like first role. Like major role. No. No it wasn't. He was also in Harry Potter. Like I don't know Harry Potter. He was in Harry Potter.

[00:35:04] That's where I first saw him. But this was one of his first. Really big breakout roles. I'm actually curious now. You keep going. I just want to look that up. So. I love in the wiki. It even mentions. He seems repulsed. He says that. Seems repulsed. Yeah. So. Eventually like. And then there's like a time lapse. Of her just keep going to school. And then he just. He just doesn't show up to school. Um. And it's just like. Okay. So he clearly.

[00:35:35] Like she's like. What did I fucking do to this guy? Or she's like. Do I smell? Like. I don't know. Because he was repulsed. So. So. So. Time goes by. And then eventually. One day. She's hanging out. In the school parking lot. And it's like a winter. Icy day. And. Someone's car. Almost crashes into her. But Edward. Instantly. Is right there. And he goes. Oh. It's adrenaline. It's fine. And she's like. Uh. I don't think that's adrenaline.

[00:36:05] And he. And she ends up going to the hospital. Her dad picks her. Um. Picks her up. Because like. And she's like. You literally stopped the van with your hand. He's like. Don't worry about it. It's fine. I'm super bad. No. He's like. It was adrenaline. It was adrenaline. And like. Uh. So the Cullen's father. Um. Carlisle. He. Uh. He was the doctor. Because they went. And they took her to the hospital. Just to make sure everything was okay. He was. Like. She was fine. Um.

[00:36:34] He like goes. Yeah. You. You're just confused. Like. He's like. Don't worry about it. You're fine. Uh. And her dad's like. What the fuck. Is happening. Uh. And they still act like. They want nothing to do with each other. The whole time. Too. Uh. So he just refuses. To stay away. And then. Eventually. She goes to the beach. Uh. With a bunch of her friends. It's called La Push. But basically. The only important thing. Is that. Jacob. Shows up. With like. His friends. Uh.

[00:37:04] Oh. He also. Like. They're supposed to be like. Native American. And live on a reservation. Too. That. That's. It'll be important. In the later movies. But we're not going to talk about that. So. Just to. Push things together. And he's telling her. Like the story. Of like. The Cullens. And like. The history behind them. And he basically tells Bella. Stay away from them. They're bad. But. You know what Bella says? Edward's kind of hot. So. I don't want to stay away from him. So far.

[00:37:33] Are you getting the plot so far? Sure. Okay. All right. There's a plot. There is. There is. There is. This just sounds like. High school fan fiction. So. After that. Bella is just more and more. Intrigued. But prom is coming up. As I have to just say. You know what this story sounds like? What? It's some unrelated vampire story. And then Stephanie Meyer. Is the self insert. Like fan fiction character.

[00:38:03] That she's stuck in here. I'm going to bring something up later. I already have a feeling. But. Keep going. It's funny. So. After that. Bella's all sus about Edward. And she's like. He's not normal. So she starts doing some research. On her computer. Looking up. Because. One thing Jacob tells her. Is like. The. The Cullens are the cold ones. And she's like. What the fuck does that mean? So she starts looking up. Like. Who can be incredibly fast. Who like. Avoids. Oh yeah.

[00:38:33] Because one day it's also sunny. At school. And like. None of the Cullens show up. So. We'll come in later. I'm all over the place. But this movie's all over the place. So it's fine. Uh. So eventually she's like. I want to research. I want to research this. I found a book. At a bookstore. I want to go there. But I need an excuse to go there. So her friends are like. We're going to shop in for prom dresses. You want to come? She's like. Yeah. I want to go to a bookstore though. So. They go and look up. Try on prom dresses. And. Well two of them do. Bella just kind of sits there. And looks like she wants to be.

[00:39:03] Anywhere else but there. She's the worst fucking friend ever. They're like. Do you even care? And she's like. Yeah. You look great. And she's like. Looking out the window. Like trying to be anywhere else. And then at one point. Creepy group of men. Just catcall the girls. Trying on their prom dress. It will come back. I promise. I'm not just saying that to be weird. But she eventually is like. Yeah. I don't want to be here. I'm going to go to this bookstore. I'll meet up with you later. And that's what she does. And it's dark out. So she goes. She gets a book on vampy boys.

[00:39:33] And as she's walking back. Those creepy guys from before. Come up to her. And they try and assault her. But Edward saves the day. He comes in with his little Volvo. And just peels. And does a donut. For no reason. And like grabs her. And brings her in the car. And drives away. Edward is just for some reason there. And then after that. He's like. Those guys were thinking nasty thoughts about you. And she was like. How the fuck do you know that? And he's like. Don't question it.

[00:40:03] And then eventually. They meet up with her friends. And her friend's like. Where were you? We were worried. We got dinner without you. Because she was like. Bella fucking bailed. So let's just eat. And Edward's like. I'm going to take her to get some dinner. And they're like. Go for it girl. So. And they just fucking ditch her. And leave her with Edward. They go to a restaurant. Edward doesn't eat anything. He just kind of sits there. While Bella eats some pasta. But then proceeds to like. Point around the room. And be like. That guy's thinking of sex.

[00:40:33] That guy's thinking of sex. That guy's thinking of sex. And that guy's thinking about. What was this movie rated? Uh. I think PG-13. When did it come out? I feel like it's PG-13. Oh. Eight. Damn. Yeah. So. And that. So Bella is even more sus. Because she's like. You didn't eat dinner. You attacked those guys. And you peeled out in your car. You're kind of weird. But. But she's also like. But you're also kind of hot.

[00:41:03] So. After that. One. They go to school the next day. And Bella walks up to them. They have no. They speak no words to each other. And they just walk into the fucking woods. That's. That's literally what happens. She just looks at him. And they look at each other. And they walk into the woods. And ditch school. In the woods. That's where. Um. That's where. Is this where the. Is this where the infamous sparkle scene happens?

[00:41:33] Yes. This is where the sparkle scene happens. Where basically. At one point. Edward's like. Bella's like. You're incredibly fast. And incredibly strong. That's not. That's not something you want to tell him. You're cold as ice. And then he's like. Say it. Say it. And she's like. Vampire. You're a vampire. And then he's like. Yeah. I am. And then he's like. I'm a killer Bella.

[00:42:02] Look at me sparkle. It's so stupid. This is. This is the scene that everyone from this movie remembers. Even the people who have never seen it. After that. She's just like. I don't care. I love you. And he's like. I love you too. And then he explains. This is a fanfic. With how fucking fast that went. Holy shit. No. Yeah. It is really fucking fast. And then. Also. Like after these. He's like. Yeah.

[00:42:31] I wasn't repulsed by you earlier. It was. I smelt your blood. And it was. So delicious. I had to stop myself from wanting to eat you. That's what it was. Thanks. Yeah. And he explains that during biology class. That they. The Cullen family. All eats animal blood. Instead of human blood. And they call themselves vegetarians. They're better than your average vampire. Tired. Yeah.

[00:43:00] And then after that. Um. Edward's like. Well I better introduce you to my family. Um. So they go over to Edward's house. Which is like this funky mansion. In the woods. Um. And uh. They meet. He meets the family. And the. The Cullen family. Are all making Bella dinner. Which is funny. Because it would literally. Just be them. Making dinner for her. Are they making her the dinner? No. They're making. They're making Italian food.

[00:43:30] Because they're like. Her name's Bella. She must be Italian. That's literally what they say. I'm not kidding. And they all make dinner. And the best part is. Is like. If they had. They don't end up having this dinner. Because Bella ate before. Because she's like. They're all vampires. They don't eat food. They eat. Animal blood. So they ate before. And they all like. Are preparing the meal. So just imagine. If they had eaten the meal. It's just Bella eating. And the rest of them are just like. How's the food? How's it going Bella? I just.

[00:43:59] That would be so awkward. But one of them. Um. Rosalie. Just gets so pissed. And just throws her fucking salad bowl. On the floor. She's like. You fucking ate before? How dare you? That scene. That scene. And then they go up to Edward's room. Uh. And then like. When they go up there. She's like. Edward. Where's your bed? Because Bella immediately. You know. Wants to get down to business. And he's like. I'm a vampire. I don't sleep. You idiot. Uh. Bubby's here. He finally arrived.

[00:44:29] I'm not kidding. And then he's like. You want to go. Climb some trees? And then they go. Climb some trees. In the forest. I'm just realizing now. Most of the girls. I went to middle school with. Watched. And read these books. And it all makes. So much fucking sense now. Um. Jesus Christ. Also. The family's reactions to Bella. Are pretty mixed. Some of them. Mixed. Rosalie just. Mixed you say. Rosalie fucking hates her.

[00:44:59] But some of them are like. Aw. Like. This is sweet. But then some of them are kind of concerned. Because she's a human. He's a vampire. You know. Whatever. Whatever. But then. After that. Eventually. I guess they get over it. Because they're like. Hey. You want to play baseball? Well yeah. Yeah. That plot line is over. She's already wrote that. She's moved on to the next thing. Wait. Did you hear what I said? Baseball. Hey. You want to play baseball? I'm not kidding. That's what happens next. They're like.

[00:45:29] We can only play baseball. In thunderstorms. Because we're vampires. And we make a lot of noise. When we play baseball. It makes like thunderous noise. It's stupid. It's stupid. So they're playing baseball. And then these three nomadic vampires show up. Which also. There's a background plot. Where like. People are disappearing in the town. They're just like dying. No. They're not disappearing. They're dying. And it's because of these vampires. And Bella's dad is also like.

[00:45:58] On the case to try and figure out. Why these murders are happening. It's because of them. So you're telling me. That this entire series. Could have been avoided. If Bella just decided. To stay with her mom. Yeah. Someone write that fan fiction. I don't know what that story is like. Back to the story. So they show up. While they're playing baseball. In a very cringy. Stupid baseball scene. And they show up. Is it like.

[00:46:27] Anime baseball episode cringe. Or just. I mean like. Every time they throw. It's like thunder. Because they're like. That's just how it is. And they're like. Jumping. It's. It's a little cringy. And Bella's just like. I'm here. I'm human. I can't do anything. Yay. But the three nomadic. Vampires show up. And one of them. Just starts looking at Bella. Is like. That looks tasty. Right there. And basically. They get into it. Like a little confrontation.

[00:46:57] And. The one known as James. It's James. Victoria. And Laurent. But really. James is the only important one here. Also Victoria. James is like. I'm gonna eat Bella. And they're like. No. We shouldn't have bothered. To play baseball. And so. The end plot of the movie. Is that. James is now. Just fucking obsessed. And he's gonna track. Bella down. And is basically. Hunting her for sport. Great.

[00:47:27] So. The Cullens are trying to protect her. And the one named Laurent. Actually comes and warns them. And is like. Yeah. James is trying to kill you. But he's still my friend. But yeah. He's trying to kill Bella. And then he just. Fucks off. For the rest of the movie. And his. The girlfriend character. Victoria. Also just fucks off. Until the end of the movie too. Um. So. They try and get James away from her. Uh. But James ends up managing to track her down.

[00:47:56] Where they were hiding. And then he lures her. To her old ballet school. By playing a. A clip. Of like. Her mom's voice. Thinking that they kidnapped. He kidnapped her mother. So Bella goes there. Uh. Thinking that. And then he bites her. And attacks her. And then. Infects her with the vampire venom. Because the vampires have venom in this. And that's what turns you into other vampires. The Cullens arrive.

[00:48:26] They attack James. And uh. To kill a vampire. You have to rip their heads off. And burn them alive. In this series. That's how it happens. So they light a fire. In the ballet school. Of her childhood. Hood. And she's just on the floor. Like. Because she was infected. By the venom. And it really fucking hurts. That's like. What they say in it. She's just like. I hope she got an Emmy. For that performance.

[00:48:55] I don't think she did. I think she probably got like. I'm pretty sure she probably got a Razzie. I think she got a Razzie. And. Edward shows up. And like. Carlisle. Which is. Dad's like. You need to suck the venom out. Edward. But don't kill her. And Edward's like. I'm gonna try. So he's doing it. And he's like. Mmm. Bella tastes good. And just starts going. I'm never. Starts. Drinking her blood. So she almost dies. And then. She wakes up. But she doesn't become a vampire.

[00:49:26] Yet. Doesn't become a vampire. I'm just gonna spoil it. It's fine. I've. I've. I've. Heard this. I'm aware of that subplot. So after that. She wakes up in the hospital. And Edward's just like. Oh. Well her parents are there. And uh. They're like. Bella you fell down the stairs. And broke your leg. What did they break her leg? For the excuse?

[00:50:03] No one cares. So. But you know. Everything's fine. Because guess what? They go. Bella goes with a boot. I guess she did break her leg. I don't know. Or break her foot. She's just wearing a boot. Not a cast. So. She broke her foot. But they go to prom. And they slow dance. Um. But at the prom. Is like this grown adult woman. Which is Victoria the vampire. And she's like. I'm gonna get you Bella.

[00:50:33] And then she fucks off again. Uh. And yeah. And that's really it. They just go to prom. And they slow dance. And they kiss. And that's the end of it. And that's Twilight. What do you think? Now that you know more details. I need. I've known for years. Ask me questions. I've known for years. That the. That it was basically a bad fan fiction. Yeah. Have you ever read My Immortal Alex?

[00:51:03] No. Okay. It's an infamous Harry Potter fanfic. But like. It. It's. It screams this. Like holy shit. It screams that. Oh yeah. It's like right up there. They're probably just as bad. That would be surprising. I don't know. Do you have any. Before trivia starts. Do you have any questions? This could help you with the trivia.

[00:51:32] I don't even know what to ask. That was. That was shit. What did this movie. God. What was this movie's fucking. Budget. 37. Jesus Christ. 37 million. But it made 412. God. People wasted their fucking money. Teenage girls. Bill. I know. Oh my God. And hearing that shit. This fucking. People. I fucking went to school. It makes. So after hearing the synopsis. Are you.

[00:52:01] Do you actually feel like. This is fucking worse. Than you thought before. Yeah. Kind of. I knew it was bad. But like. Jesus Christ. And it's only going to get better. Bill. It's only going to get better. It's got a 48%. Rotten Tomatoes. That's great. Uh. Somebody. The New York press called it a genuine pop classic. Sure. Sure. Um.

[00:52:33] Ugh. This breaks my brain. Alex. I'd rather watch Jennifer's Body again. That's how much I would. Don't want to watch this. Yep. Have you seen Jennifer's Body? No. Okay. You won't get that reference then. Oh. Let me see. Oh. Okay. Let me see. We're currently. Okay. I gotta save this. So I can actually share my screen and save.

[00:53:01] So I made a PowerPoint for my trivia questions. Uh. But I realized. I didn't realize I could download it. And then um. Share my screen via that way. Which I feel like will be easier. So. Okay. Let me just add that in. Other than that. Any other. Any other thoughts. Opinions. Before we get started. Do the sequels just get worse. As they go.

[00:53:32] You'll find out. Okay. It's processing right now. I didn't know I could do this. So if this doesn't work. Then I'll just jump to it. Did you ever play. The seeded Twilight trivia game. That you got. No. I never did. Missed opportunity. Missed opportunity. Okay. Okay. Perfect. I think this is gonna work. Did it work? No. How do I make it work?

[00:54:02] Do you see anything? Oh. Okay. Oh. Do you need to give me permission? There we go. All right. Bill. Are you ready? For Twilight. How can. Trivia. I love how they make them both look so uncomfortable. Yeah. Welcome. Did you like just find this image online? This. No. This is like the promotional art. Hold on. I'm saying like. Did you just add the trivia?

[00:54:31] I wasn't sure if this was like something you found online. If people care. I can send this to you. And then you can share it like after. But anyways. Twilight trivia. Are you ready? Go for it. Okay. Question one. This one should be easy. Okay. I gave you an easy one to start. What band or artist was not featured on a Twilight movie soundtrack? We have A. Paramore.

[00:55:00] B. My Chemical Romance. C. Linkin Park. So you should already know one. Or D. Bon Iver. Bon Iver. Which one was not featured? Bon Iver? D. I don't know. Really? It was. My Chemical Romance was not featured. The band that writes about vampires constantly. Actually. So. Fun fact. The. The song.

[00:55:29] I also don't know who Bon Iver is. So. Vampire Money. That's what I put it there. Vampire Money. So. My Chemical Romance was actually approached by the Twilight sound. By like. The Twilight. Whatever. Who was directing it. For them to write a song. And they said. Fuck that. Those movies suck. So they wrote Vampire Money as a way to insult the Twilight series. Okay. I respect My Chemical Romance so much more. I already did. But like. Now it's even more. Yeah.

[00:55:58] I knew you'd like this question. So. Eh. You got it wrong. So. I only guessed Bon Iver. Because I had no idea who that is. I'm keeping a tally. I threw in one that you wouldn't know. But then two that you. Three that you guessed it. But. I guess not. No. No. If anything. My Chemical Romance seems like the most obvious choice. Like. For who would do a Twilight song. But I guess they have class. They have standards. They also is a pair.

[00:56:27] Actually in the first movie. Decode by Paramore. Was for the Twilight movie soundtrack. That makes sense. And then you know the Linkin Park one. But. Eh. So. So far. One wrong. And zero right. Question number two. What is Edward's nickname for Bella? Is it A. Pretty princess. Is it B. Bulldog. C.

[00:57:02] Well. I want to say it's one either B or C. Because the top two just sound too fucking obvious. And I'm pretty sure Pretty princess is from something else. That's from Bratz. That's from Bratz. I knew that one. What is it? Fucking spider monkey? I don't fucking know. Ding, ding, ding. Wow. What a lucky guess.

[00:57:31] What a lucky guess. This is also known as one of the cringiest lines in the series. Because this is when they're climbing the trees. And he goes, hold on tight, spider monkey. Okay. So. God damn. Robert Patterson has fucking range. But holy fuck. I'm surprised his career took off. So. You have one correct and one right. I'm proud of you. I didn't think you were going to get this one. Although this one was too obvious. It wasn't going to be the obvious choices on this one.

[00:58:00] See, I just got lucky and happened to guess the one in the middle. I knew you'd either do bulldog or spider monkey. All right. Next one. But I wanted to throw in the other ones. Because like it could have been more generic names. But. All right. Question number three. Which weird film moment did not happen?

[00:58:27] Bella putting ketchup on a burger and nothing comes out. And she just vigorously shakes the ketchup bottle. B. A character carries around a bag of hard boiled eggs. Because they can. C. A group of high schoolers play hacky sack with an imaginary hacky sack. Or D. None of the above. Is it none of the above? Ding, ding, ding. All those. All those scenes happen. As you can see. There's Bella.

[00:58:57] She just shakes it for like 10 minutes. And like people have actually done side by sides. Of what it actually looks like to pour ketchup out. That's the bag of eggs. And. Those. That's actually from a meme of people who recreated the scene. Because. It's fucking stupid. Well you don't. You don't play invisible hacky sack. Just for the fuck of it. That's just a weird film moment. And all of these were in. Just Twilight. The original movie. So far. So.

[00:59:27] Now. You're two. Two right. One wrong. That's pretty good. Alex. A lot of averages of it. There's a none of the above question. It's usually none of the above. You don't know. All right. Question four. We're moving on to New Moon. That's the second movie. So what is the plot of Twilight New Moon? A. Bella tells her father that Edward is a vampire. And her father wants her to break up with him. B.

[00:59:55] Jacob transfers to Bella and Edward's school. In order to win Bella's heart. C. Bella gets a paper cut at a birthday party. And Edward breaks up with her. Or D. Victoria wants revenge on the Cullens for killing her man. And makes a plan to kill Bella. What is your guess? Is it fucking C? What the fuck? Really?

[01:00:26] Really? Yeah. It's her birthday. And she gets a paper cut. And all the Cullens like almost try to kill her. Because like they were having it at their house. And then he breaks up with her. There's other stuff that happens. But really that's the beginning of the movie. Bella's in a depressive cycle. Is this what leads to the Jacob shit? Like right after? Yeah. What the fuck? Proud of you. You're doing great. You know Twilight I guess.

[01:00:55] No I just know the absurdity of this shit. You got three correct. One wrong. Good job. I don't know if their answers made sense. That one is the only one that was like what the fuck? I was really trying to. Come on. Well no that's what I'm saying. The way the story's written. I'm like I'm looking through these. I'm like okay. Which one do you think would be. All right. Which one do you think would make more sense? Well no originally I thought it was the B. Because I know about that shit. But then I saw that and I'm like that's stupid. That has to be it.

[01:01:25] All right. Question number five. What way does Bella almost die in Twilight New Moon? Is it A. Jumping off a cliff? B. Getting into a motorcycle accident? C. A vampire tries to kill her in the woods? D. A vampire tries to kill her in Europe? E. All of the above? Or F. None of the above? E. It's E. Say E. Yes.

[01:01:55] Ding ding ding. Ding ding. Yes. Bella. So because Edward broke up with her. She's fucking depressed. And she wants to do adrenaline rushes. Because when she does them. She sees him. In her hallucinations. So. At one point. Her and Jacob. Make. Rebuild a motorcycle. And then she like crashes it. And almost fucking dies. Uh. And then. She jumps off a cliff. As an adrenaline rush. Because she sees a bunch of the. Um.

[01:02:25] Werewolf guys do it. And she's like. I want to do that too. To see Edward. Um. That vampire named Laurent. Uh. He was from the trio before. The one. The other guy who's not dead. He like finds her in the woods. He's like. Mmm. You look yummy. And tries to kill her. But Jacob saves her. As a werewolf. And then. At one point. Alice. Oh. So Alice. Is Edward's. One of Edward's family members. Not really his sister. But he calls her his sister.

[01:02:55] This is only important. Because she can see. Into the future. So she sees that Bella dies. So Edward tries to kill himself. So Bella goes to Europe. To save him. But they. There's this vampire council. Named the Volturi. So they find out. That Bella knows. That he's a vampire. And they try to kill her. Ah. I didn't mean to do that. But anyways. So. How many. So we're on question five. Right. So now you're.

[01:03:25] Four correct. Four correct. In one wrong. Isn't. The one I thought you were going to get right. Is the one I got wrong. Yeah. That makes sense. Is it bad that like. Someone. I saw someone online. Described like the second movie. As just like a shitty. Inuyasha. That's like rude to Inuyasha. Inuyasha deserves better. But anyways. Well I mean. Inuyasha is like. One of the posters. Oh just like the wolf.

[01:03:54] Yeah. The two. The love triangle thing. Well also people like. Referred. Always jokes. Inuyasha is like one of the poster children. For that whole meme of like. Still a better love story. Than Twilight. Yes. So. We're on to question. Six. I forgot to put third movie. But Eclipse is the third movie. So. What is the plot. Of Twilight. Eclipse. Bella. Edward. And Jacob. Are in a love triangle. In an army of new.

[01:04:24] Vampires. Is trying to kill Bella. Bella forces Edward. To turn her into a vampire. And after becoming a vampire. Leaves him to do her own thing. C. The town is attacked by vampires. And the Cullens are forced. To turn everyone into vampires. In order to save them. Or D. Charlie dies. In a vampire related incident. Who's Charlie? And Bella lives with her mother. That's her father. That's her father. Okay. And Bella lives with her mother. And is now afraid of vampires.

[01:04:54] Uh. What is your answer? Is it B? Is it B? It's A. Bella. Edward. And Jacob. Are in a love triangle. And an army of new vampires. Is also trying to kill Bella. So. In Eclipse. Remember that vampire Victoria? Sure. So her evil plan is that. She's just going to create. An army of newborn vampires.

[01:05:23] They call them newborns. Because I guess like. You're a lot stronger. When you first become a vampire. And then you get weaker. Stupid. I don't know. So she creates an army. In order to kill Bella. And the vampires. In the Cullens. And then the. Uh. Werewolf people. Work together. In order to save Bella. There's just a lot of sexual tension. Between Bella. Edward. And Jacob. That's most of the movie. With. The subplot of like. She's also.

[01:05:53] About to be murdered. Okay. So I thought B. Because I'm like. That is like. The most stupid plot line. Possible. And that fits so well. Nope. I made that up myself. That's right on par. With the rest of the writing. In this series. So. I tricked you. All right. Question seven. We got it. True or false. Are the werewolves. Able to communicate. With normal people. While they are werewolves. A.K.A.

[01:06:23] Like. If I was a wolf right now. I'm talking to you. As a person would. True or false. True. Yes. And it looks so stupid. And derpy. When they do. That's also another thing. It's. They're just always shirtless. For some reason. But I also. Well no. For some reason. We know exactly why. Well yes. I also include the scene of. Whenever Bella. Was interacting with Jacob. As a werewolf.

[01:06:53] This is what Jacob. Had to wear. That's actually. That's actually. With Taylor Lottner. Right there. Are you sure. She isn't a vampire yet. At this point. Because my God. Nope. She's really pale. Also. Like. They shade everything weird. I know. I was just going to say. I'm like Jesus. The derpy. And all the wolves. Are also CGI. Abominations. And. It's great. Yeah. They just. They just talk like a human. And go.

[01:07:22] Looks like some weird. Like Japanese game show. Going on here. Yep. That's why I picked it. In the slide. So. Now you got five right. Two wrong. Good job. All right. Question eight. How old is Edward Cullen? 17. A. 17. B. 108. 108. C. 20. Or D. 904. How old is Edward? 904.

[01:07:55] Trick question. Both A and B. Because he's a hundred. He's 108 years old. But when he was turned into a vampire. He was a 17 year old. That's when he was turned into a vampire. That's Carlisle biting Edward. So. He's. I didn't even see the other person. I just saw. Addison's face. I was like. What the fuck is that? So. He's 108.

[01:08:23] But he's trapped in a 17 year old's body. Oh that'll. Oh. Fuck. Even though he clearly ages throughout the goddamn movies. I'm just going to put that up there. It's fine. I mean. Did they really look like high schoolers in the first movie? Yeah. But yeah. So that was a trick question. I've seen Spider-Man one. I've seen that 40 year old woman pretending to be a middle high schooler. So. I got you. Wrong.

[01:08:52] He's not 904. But it's still kind of creepy. He's 108. Anyways. Question number nine. How many movies feature the Wilhelm screen in the Twilight franchise? Every movie. Every movie. All right. Well. For the listeners. I'm going to read all of them. A. One movie. B. Two movies. C. Three movies. D. Four movies. Or E. Every movie.

[01:09:23] Wait. Oh. I know there's five. I was going to say. I'm like. Yes. There's four books. Five movies. So. You're going with E. Yeah. Eh. Just two. Just two. But. What bothers me? But why is there two Wilhelm screams in Twilight is the real question. Because as I. Why not? I rewatched all of them in preparation for this. I was like. Did I just hear the Wilhelm scream? And I think. I believe it was in.

[01:09:54] Eclipse. And then Breaking Dawn Part 2. But yeah. And that's the Wilhelm scream. So I just threw that in there for fun. See. So. Wilhelm scream makes everything funny. So just throw that in for every movie. It's in Lego Star Wars. That makes more sense though. So five correct. Four wrong. We're almost there Bill. It's just 15. Question. Number 10. What is the plot. Of Twilight Breaking Dawn.

[01:10:24] Part 1. Part 2. Edward and Bella graduate high school. And move away to start a life together. But Bella does not become a vampire. And dies of old age. B. Bella changes her mind. About. Oh. Ignore the typo. About Edward. And chooses Jacob instead. They get married. And live happily ever after. C. Edward and Bella get married. Go on a honeymoon. She gets pregnant. And almost dies. Because the baby is part vampire.

[01:10:54] Or D. None of the above. Isn't it C? Is that your final answer? It's either C or none. Which one do you choose? Uh. I'm going to say C. Just fuck it. I don't really care. Are you sure? Yeah.

[01:11:24] That's fine. Ding ding ding. Yeah. That's what I thought. You're correct. And that's the photo of when she dies giving childbirth. Fuck it. Yeah. So. When she gets pregnant. The. The baby. They find out it's half vampire. And is just like eating her alive. Uh. At one point. Great. She has to drink blood. In order to sustain herself like a vampire. And it's like destroying her. And right before she gives birth.

[01:11:54] She's just standing. Drops a cup of blood. Breaks her back. And is forced to give labor. Yeah. And you see this all happen. Gives labor. They have to cut the baby out of her. And then like. She sees the baby. She like smiles. And then lands on this fucking dead face. And then Edward just goes. You gotta live. You gotta live. You gotta live. And like aggressively gives her like. Uh. CPR. And then just starts biting the shit out of her.

[01:12:22] To like turn her into a vampire. That's at least for part one. I put part one and part two. To kind of trick you. It didn't work. It didn't work. So yeah. That was like dead face right there. Because I knew there was a baby. Like subplot at one point. Because this is a fucking fanfic. Of course there is. I feel like included baby elsewhere. But yeah. Correct. I kind of like the idea.

[01:12:53] I like the idea of the first one. They graduate. They graduate. Move away. And then she just dies. Dice. Well that. So in New Moon. That's actually a plot point. Where she's like freaked out. In the beginning. She's like. The beginning actually opens. With her in a dream sequence. And it's her in a field with Edward. And this old lady shows up. And she's like grandma. And then Edward fucking kisses the grandma. Or something. And she's like that's me. No. I don't want to get old.

[01:13:23] Yeah. The most shallow fucking reason there. Yes. Oh. Not the fact that. You're. Anyways. Move on. I'm getting too invested in that. Question 11. True or false. In Twilight Breaking Dawn part one and part two. They hire a child actor to portray Bella and Edward's daughter. False. Because I remember it being a CGI abomination. Yes. You are correct.

[01:13:52] It looks terrible. I remember that because that was a meme for a while. Okay. Perfect. I was. I wanted to make sure. Yes. There's the creepy CGI baby. I wasn't sure if you knew that. So. I remember that one. Because that was a. That was a well-known internet thing. It looks awful. It sure does. Question 12. Oh. This is fun. Who does Jacob imprint on? And before that. I just want to explain. So the werewolves.

[01:14:21] There's a thing called imprinting. And it basically means that that is your special person. And the only person you can love and care about for the rest of your life. I don't like my thoughts on what the answer of this is going to be. And your laugh is scaring me a little. Imprinting. It's got. It means like they are your destined partner. Basically. I don't like where I think this is going.

[01:14:55] I don't like where I think this is going to be. Bella's friend at school. C. Oh no. C. Bella's father. Or D. It's D. Isn't it? Yes it is! God damn it. I want it to be C so bad. I want it to be C so bad. Don't we all? Like that would be like. That would be it. Charlie actually gets a girlfriend later on in the series.

[01:15:24] But it doesn't fucking matter. I saw that and I just went. Do you like how I covered up? Good. Be like. Pedo Jacob. Get the fuck away from me. Well okay. So now everyone should be Team Edward. Because fuck that. So. And the theory is that like. So Jacob's like obsessed with Bella. And like. The thought is. Is that he's so obsessed with Bella. Because he can. He's obsessed with the unborn child. She's going to.

[01:15:54] She's going to. And that's why he's in love with her. But like. He never imprints on her. I told you. I 100% regret using Inuyasha as a comparison now. Because. Koga was not a scumbag. Koga's not a pedophile. Jacob. You know what? You're a pedophile. You know what Koga did? When Inuyasha and Kagome were gone.

[01:16:24] And their daughter was alone. He raised her. And took care of her. Didn't try to romance her. Yep. Ugh. Jacob. We hate you. Koga. We stan you. I have so many. Concerns. About. Stephanie Myers as a person. Yes. After reading. Hearing all of this. Oh my god. That even fan fiction writers. Don't stoop that low. Yeah. A lot of the time. That's bad. That is bad. I didn't even edit this photo.

[01:16:53] That's just the face she makes during the film. Just kidding. I put a barf emoji over her. That's fine. Because she's disgusted with this pedophile. Anyways. I hate that. Question 13. True or false. In Twilight Breaking Dawn Part 2. A large portion of the movie was not actually in the book. True or false. I want to say true. True. Just based on the fact that they split it into two movies. And they really didn't need to be split into two movies.

[01:17:22] And they had to stretch it the fuck out. Is that your question? Answer? Yeah. Correct. That is. And this caused emotional damage for so many people. So in Twilight Breaking Dawn Part 2. Because she has the half vampire child. So if a vampire bites a child. It's like a.

[01:17:49] It remains at that age. So if like a six year old gets bit by a vampire. And turns into a vampire. They stay six forever. What a fucking hell. Yeah. So they can't be controlled. So in the vampire law. That's like a big no-no. And against the law. And like you will be put to death. They will kill you. And kill the child. So because. They have a daughter. Who's part vampire. They think that they turned a child.

[01:18:19] Into a vampire. But you'll see. So the baby starts. Like she starts as a baby. And then like a week later. Becomes a toddler. And like is rapidly aging. Yeah. So like that. So. This photo. Was literally like two months. After she gave birth to her. Even worse. Yeah. No it doesn't make it worse. So they. The Volturi. Thinks that they did that. But they also. The Volturi just hates the Cullens. For some reason.

[01:18:50] So they're gonna come and kill them. So the Cullens get a bunch of friends. To be like witnesses. To be like look. She's growing. She's not normal. Like she's. She's not gonna be a child forever. She's gonna grow up like a human. But the Volturi's like. Nah fuck you. This is our time to kill you. So when they get there. Like it. You're shown like they get into this big fight. So that's Carlisle. And they rip off his head first. Which like initiates. The fight. Because Carlisle's like. Let's just be calm. And they're like. Fuck you.

[01:19:19] This wasn't in the book. No. So this was actually all a vision. That Alice. Like this is never elaborated on in the book. Alice is actually. Goes up to the head Volturi guy. And is like. This is your future. Because basically. The Volturi all die. They lose the fight. And then the Cullens win. And. She basically shows him that vintage vision. And is like. Yeah. If like. We. They never even elaborate on what happened. She's just like. If we do this.

[01:19:49] You're not going to win. Uh. And that's it. So. When the movie came on. People were like. What? This is different. But. It still was all just a vision. And none of this actually happened. Great. Yeah. So this actually didn't happen. But. Emotional damage. So. Ding. Ding. Ding. Did I put that? Four. Five. Six. Seven. Eight. Nine. Ten. Eleven. Twelve. So you got. Third. You're 13.

[01:20:18] Question 13 is correct. Are you ready for question 14? Go for it. All right. Question 14. Which cringy line was not featured in a Twilight movie? A. You are exactly my brand of heroin. Said by Edward. B. Jacob. Let's face it. I'm hotter than you. C. This is the skin of a killer, Bella.

[01:20:48] That was Edward. And then D. Where have you been, Loka? Jacob. Or E. All of the above. Or F. None of the above. Is it none of the above? Is that your answer? Yeah. Did you make all that shit up? No. No. You didn't read the question. Wait. Which cringy line was not featured in the movie?

[01:21:20] Wait. But. Wait. I might be misunderstanding. Oh, wait. Wait. Did I fuck? I might have fucked it. Did you get your own question wrong? Okay. I was going to say, I'm like, Alex. You were right. Read your own question, Alex. I was going to say, did you make up all of these cringe lines?

[01:21:49] No. No. No. No. No. No. Shit. Okay. So I fucked up my own trivia. All right. So you were right. So. Okay. Ignore this. Yeah. All those signs are in the. Yeah. Because I did all of these. But all of these are right. But I forgot. Okay. So yeah. You're correct. It's actually. I'm correct. Yeah. So all of these.

[01:22:19] Is that just a really unfortunate freeze frame? No. That's literally what. He's like, this is the skin of a killer. I'm telling you. His faces are some of the best. All right. Of course he played the heron. Makes so much sense. Question 15. This is the last one. Which actor or actress regrets being in these films the most? Is it A.

[01:22:48] Kirsten Stewart. Bella. B. Robert Pattinson. Edward. D. Taylor Lautner. Jacob. Or C. D. Everyone cast in the franchise. Oh wait. That's supposed to be. You got D&C in the wrong spots. Which one?

[01:23:17] For some reason I feel like this is an easy answer. Was it Christian Stewart? It was Robert Pattinson. Interesting. Because this is kind of what got him on the map. It's kind of funny. Oh my god. In interviews. So this is kind of where I was tying it back. And he's the one that's had like the biggest career since, ironically. So in interviews, he's actually said that the story is really fucking weird and it feels

[01:23:44] like a self-insert of the author. He's not wrong. And he like hates talking about them. Every time like an interviewer brings it up, he just goes, really? He hates these movies. Okay. Taylor Lautner has just accepted he'll never be in another movie and appreciates them. And Kirsten Stewart is like, it was a good experience. Everyone else is actually pretty positive. Robert vehemently hates these films.

[01:24:13] That's funny because he's the only one that's had a career since, basically. What has Kirsten Stewart been in? She was in a Charlie's Angel movie. She was in a couple things. I don't think it did well, but yeah, she's been in movies. I'm curious now. To Wikipedia. Oh gosh, she was a child in that first movie. Even though she wasn't.

[01:24:43] Since Twilight. I'm like looking to see what. Okay, Breaking Dawn part two. She's been in. Never heard of. I'm looking for a movie I've heard of. I doubt you'll find it. Nope. Nope. None of that. So yeah. All right. So I have one more. Meanwhile, Robert Patterson is fucking Batman.

[01:25:12] So let's leave that there. And he hates. And you know why? Because he hates these fucking movies. And he said, I'm going to be better. And that's why he's successful. I mean, I'll give him credit. Egbert Cullen. The end. I just did 15 questions. But yeah. Egbert Cullen. He hates these fucking movies. I don't blame him. Because holy fuck. That was the worst fanfic I've ever read.

[01:25:39] So what was the worst thing that you learned about this movie? That fucking Jacob revolution. The imprinting thing. That is bad. That's really bad. The best part is. So when he first imprints on her. It's like right after Bella gave birth. And Rosalie. The vampire who gave birth. And is like on the table like dead. Rosalie. The one who originally hated Bella. But then befriended her when she got pregnant. Because she just kind of wanted a baby.

[01:26:09] And like was living through Bella. Anyways. It's weird. Anyways. So. Rosalie has the baby. And she's cleaning the baby off. Because it's all bloody. Because they had to fucking rip it out of Bella. And Jacob's like. I'm going to fucking kill the baby. But then. He sees the baby. And literally his life like flashes before his eyes. And he sees the baby like go from baby to toddler. To child. To adult. And sees their life together.

[01:26:38] And like falls to his knees. It's like. I love the baby. But it's also. It also prevents the other werewolves from killing the baby. Because that's also a subplot in the movie. Where they all want to kill the vampire child. Because it's going to kill Bella. But they can't. Because he imprinted on her. And anyone who's imprinted on is safe. To all the wolves. So yeah.

[01:27:07] But he imprinted on a child. Oh and he also calls her Nessie. And there's a famous line in the movie. Where Bella goes. You named my child after the Loch Ness monster? Yeah. That was another cringe line. And I thought about throwing them there. But I kept it with the Edwards and the Jacobs. Just to hopefully trick you. But it didn't work. So. And the worst part is. This is abysmal. But. Somehow. Someone.

[01:27:37] Saw those movies and said. I got my own ID. Then we got Fifty Shades of Grey. Which is somehow worse. Whole. Like. Whole. So. Your score. You got. Ten correct. Most of those by sheer guessing. And five wrong. Which means. You got a 67%. So that would be. A D. So you.

[01:28:06] You still didn't. You didn't pass the Twilight quiz. Wait. Wait. Wait. Isn't that a D? Or maybe it's a C. See when you. When it's like that small percentage point. It's like. Yeah. I think. It's a pass. It's a pass. It's a D plus. You got a D plus. So. Or a C minus. Really good. So we'll. We'll give you a C minus. You know. I'll be fair. Because honestly. You did pretty good.

[01:28:36] I thought you weren't going to get anything right. Also. Maybe these aren't very good questions. For some people. What is going on in the background of this? I think it's baseball. It's baseball. Why did they like. Why did they like. Cut it. There's a lot of. The guy on the. On the right. Has like. It's double cheeked up. Is that a guy? Is that a guy? That's my question. I don't know. It's either a girl or a guy that's double cheeked up. It's either a girl or a guy who.

[01:29:05] It's got a lot going on. So. Would you watch the Twilight series now? No. Now. Now I'm like. Did you at least. Did you at least have fun? I was amused. By the. By the. This. But not. Not the series. If anything. It just. It just reaffirms my. My. My belief of. I didn't miss anything. And I'm glad I did. I didn't. So what series should I do next?

[01:29:36] What's. What trash do you want to subject yourself to next? Well. I could do Hunger Games. Cause you're not going to watch that one. See Hunger Games. I just don't find interesting. I don't think it's bad. I just don't find it interesting. All right. I'll find. Maybe. I'll watch. Fifty Shades of Grey. Just to do this for you. If you want. To do that to yourself. Actually. Maybe I will. All right. If. People found this funny. I'll do a Fifty Shades of Grey one. I think one of the funniest moments.

[01:30:05] Is the fact that I wrote the question. Yeah. You got your own question. You said no. And I'm like. Alex. You're applying. You made all these cringe lines. I fucked up. Cause it's all of the above. Are in the movie. This is the skin of a killer. This is the skin of a killer. I'm just going to say that at work. Randomly one day. Just. Not elaborate. Did you like my photos? I chose to. You did pretty good. What the fuck?

[01:30:35] This is my favorite. I didn't even see the other person. I just saw that face. I saw that frame. I was like. Yes. Also. Did you appreciate that? I put just a question. You couldn't get right. Yes. So. I guarantee. You got. At least one. Yeah. It's amazing. How I guessed. So many of these. You did. You did. You did pretty good. Just based off the sheer absurdity.

[01:31:05] Oh my God. So you had fun. That was. That was something. I don't know what to think. You're welcome. You're welcome. Twilight. So would. Those listening. Would you watch the Twilight series. If you haven't watched it. Don't subject yourself to that garbage. I rewatched them all in preparation. For this. I guess. See. I've realized a point. Where there's like. Those are movies.

[01:31:35] That if you didn't grow up with them. Probably. I don't. They're probably harder to. They're harder to hate watch. Like when you. When you didn't. When you don't have the nostalgia. It's like. I. I do say like. Like bad movies for me. Like something like. Like the Mario Brothers movie. I enjoy that way more than you do. Just because I grew up. With the mean culture of that movie. It's just cursed. Yeah. So I get all like the jokes and stuff. Like stuff like that. Like this is like.

[01:32:05] I would just be like. This is like me watching Madam Web. And the whole time I'm like. Everything. Oh yeah. That was bad. All right. So I'll watch the Fifty Shades of Grey series. And I'll make another one of these. I have to ask. Has. I love. Oh yeah. There it is. It's like literally the first thing that pops up. For when you type in Robert Patterson. Has Stephanie Meyer done anything else.

[01:32:35] Since. I don't know. Let me see. Uh. Subsequent Twilight publications. Let me see. Oh my god. She kind of. Looking at her photo. Yeah. Oh my god. It's totally a self insert. That's hilarious. Oh she did a. Reimagining. Of Twilight. Okay.

[01:33:05] Good for you. Um. She won Children's Book of the Year. Oh my god. For Breaking Dawn. One. Oh. Ew. Children's Book. Number one. Best-selling novel. What the fuck. I don't. That's why I don't trust any of these rating companies. Midnight Sun. Oh. I love how. Okay. Those are all related. There's The Host. The Chemist. Hell on Earth.

[01:33:35] There's a graphic novel. Adult fic. Ew. She had a graphic novel. Yeah. She does kind of look like Bella Swan. She totally does. Oh my god. And that. It really just seems like. I mean. It looks like she's done. And whoever wrote this Wikipedia page. Was clearly a fan. That's all I'm going to say. It looks like she's done two standalone novels.

[01:34:03] But really it looks like most of her career is just Twilight. Well apparently. But I mean. She probably made a fuck ton of money. So. I'm just reading this now. Apparently Midnight Sun was a retelling of Twilight through Edward's perspective. But she ended up not continuing that series because of the release of Fifty Shades of Grey. Because it soured the experience. Ah! Oh that's amazing. That is so funny. Ugh. Ew.

[01:34:32] All right. So. I'll watch Fifty Shades of Grey. And then. Yeah. And then we'll do the. We'll do a round two. With more trivia. Of the absurdity. Of that movie. You excited? No. Wait. I need to see Fifty Shades. It's probably somewhere. I'm sure. They're not. Great. No. I want to see how many movies there are.

[01:35:00] Because I know this is a film series. Three I believe. All right. Bill. I'll get to watch it. And then. Then. Then we can do this all again. You ready? Yeah. But that one's not going to be as funny. Because you. You're not going to have the same nostalgia. Well. I feel like I can still relate. You'll find something to make it entertaining.

[01:35:29] Just for the fact that it's Twilight. So. All right. So. That'll be the next one guys. Get ready. Fifty Shades of Grey. All right. But. Anyways guys. Once again.
