The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1 (2011)

Bella Swan is cool, chill bride-to-be, eagerly awaiting her upcoming big day when she’ll get married to Edward and/or become a vampire. Despite revelations that Edward is a murderer, Bella is still gun-ho for the wedding … which is happening right now, apparently! They’re married now! 
At the reception, Bella meets the vampire cousins from Alaska before undergoing a barrage of speeches and a surprise visit from Jacob, who is cool for like 5 minutes before getting weird and protective about Bella’s safety during the upcoming “marital rights” time. After the wedding, Bella and Edward jet off to Rio, then to a secluded island, where they swim underneath the moonlight before engaging in sexual congress for the first time. Following the best night of their lives, Bella and Edward share an awkward conversation about bedroom boundaries before figuring out their rhythm. Before you know it, Bella is pregnant – to the surprise and concern of everyone. As the first known human mother of a vampire, Bella’s life is in grave danger due to the rapid growth of child inside her.
As the pregnancy progresses, Bella learns that she will not live to see her baby… unless… she feeds her baby human blood. A pint or 12 of blood through a straw seems to help Bella recover from being at death’s door, though she still looks like she could use a burger. But tragedy soon strikes when a contraction snaps Bella’s back and sends her into labor. While the baby is successfully delivered, thanks to some improvisation by Edward, Bella does not weather the storm…
except she totally comes back to life thanks to an injection of Edward’s venom! She’s finally a vampire, just like she always dreamed of being. 

Join co-hosts Vanessa and Toben as they journey through an actor’s filmography, in chronological order, in an effort to definitively determine – using a refined academic and scientific process – that actor’s best movie.

Their quest began in Volume 1 with one of the most pressing cinematic questions of our time: what’s Blake Lively’s best movie?
In Volume 2, Vanessa and Toben seek out the best Kristen Stewart movie.

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse (2010)

Bella Swan, a prospective University of Alaska student, is still in high school and her 100 year old vampire boyfriend Edward wants to marry her. Bella’s pretty cold to that idea, though, as she doesn’t believe marriage is worth any more than the piece of paper the marriage certificate is printed on. Also, she’d rather just be a cool, immortal vampire. With graduation coming up quick, Bella finds her attention divided between her studies, Edward, and visiting her mom in Florida. Bella is also being targeted by a vengeful lady vampire, but she’ll worry about that after she straightens things up with her estranged wolfman friend Jacob. This proves challenging as Jacob’s enmity toward vampires has grown stronger and he’s really getting pushy about the whole “Bella, don’t become a vampire before you’ve considered all the alternatives” thing. Soon, though, Bella brings the vampire and werewolf clans of Forks, Washington, into an uneasy alliance based on all the trouble she’s at the center of. With the vampires busy tracking an unknown threat and keeping watch for the vengeful lady vampire, Bella is left under the protection of Jacob and his wolf buds. This breaks bad pretty quickly, though, when Jacob decides Bella has no agency in her relationship with Edward and forces a kiss upon her in an effort to convince her of his love for her. After breaking her fist on Jacob’s face, Bella returns home and continues planning her eventual vampiric transition. During a graduation party, she kind  reconciles with Jacob but is soon distracted by a warning of an impending invasion of newborn vampires. With only days to prepare, Bella takes stock of her priorities and, after a heart to heart with dad about marriage, reconsiders Edward’s proposal. On the day of the big battle, Bella is whisked away to the top of a mountain for safety… but almost freezes to death because no one thought about how cold the top of a mountain might be. After some life-saving cuddles from Jacob, Bella finds herself facing down death again when the vengeful lady vampire arrives. A well-timed distraction by Bella turns the tide of the battle, ending the threat to Bella and her friends…for now.

Welcome to the Rileys (2010)
“Mallory” is a moody runaway teen from Florida who hates cops and works as a dancer in New Orleans. One night at work, she strikes up a conversation with a middle aged man named Doug Riley, who is trying to avoid his coworkers at a business convention. After a brief misunderstanding about his line of work, the two strike up an unlikely friendship and bond over marijuana and home renovation. They hang out a lot because Doug doesn’t like being alone and Mallory doesn’t have any authoritative adult influences in her life. Soon Doug becomes a boarder at Mallory’s home. After several days of sharing life experiences and learning from each other, Doug’s wife shows up…and is surprisingly calm about the whole situation. In fact, she temporarily moves in with them and they have a whole little family situation. As Mallory feels more pressure from the Rileys to accept more responsibility for her life, the living situation reaches its boiling point – ultimately dismantling the found family unit.

Wwwrrestling? ClobberCast returns at 2/3rds strength to talk about the state of things and which wrestling we’re using as comfort food in the midst of a pandemic hunker-down. Did WrestleMania really happen? Did Being the Elite just become AEW: West Coast? What would a good wrestling video game look like? Did WWE sacrifice the careers of dozens of wrestlers and employees literally a day after getting them declared “essential workers” even though the company is still projected to make millions in profit and isn’t actually facing bankruptcy or closure like thousands of businesses around the world?

The Twilight Saga: New Moon (2009)
Bella Swan is back, and it’s her birthday! Now a moody 18 year old, Bella is worried of aging out of her relationship with Edward the vampire. One night, Bella gets a paper cut in front of a whole family of vampires and almost gets eaten. This incident spooks Edward and he decides Bella would be safer and better off without him and his vampire family around. Bella is heartbroken by this, and decides to lay down in the forest and die. Fortunately, she’s saved by a cool shirtless dude who’s definitely not a werewolf. For months after, Bella is a wreck, isolating herself and wallowing in her loneliness. One day, she discovers that engaging in social activities with friends makes her less sad and lonely, so does that for a while… until she crosses paths with a dangerous motorcyclist and is warned off by a vision of Edward. In an effort to glimpse her lost love, Bella gets into extreme sports like cliff diving and dirt biking. This works for a while, but eventually she no longer craves the sight of Edward because of her growing relationship with Jacob – a friend who is a boy and a mechanic and a werewolf. Bella’s not really sure if she’s ready to love again, but after having her life saved by a pack of werewolves, she warms up to the idea a bit… until Edward’s sister returns and takes Bella to Rome, so she can stop Edward from killing himself because thinks another vampire killed Bella. Bella and Edward are finally reunited, then almost immediately nearly killed by the vampire council, because it turns out Bella is immune to the magic powers of the vampire council and they don’t like that. The council is appeased by a last minute announcement – Bella will be turned into a vampire and join Edward’s family. This decision is complicated by two key issues – Edward doesn’t really want Bella to become a vampire despite her repeated stated desire to be turned, and her becoming a vampire will also reignite a war between the vampires and werewolves of Washington state. Eventually, Edward agrees to turn Bella… on one condition…

As Stephanie learns more about what really happened, her thoughts turn toward revenge, and she seeks out a dashing ex-MI6 agent linked to the journalist. After months of training, Stephanie begins tracking the man behind the bombing of the flight her family was on – but who can she really trust? Is she ready to become an assassin for hire? Does she really have the heart for revenge? After a series of globetrotting missions – and some mishaps, Stephanie finds the answers to those questions…leaving a trail of bodies in her wake.
