And now he has to tell us WHY. But more importantly, he has to stay on topic for an entire synopsis!Can he accomplish so rudimentary a task? Will Rae and Ross conspire to knock him off course and talk about random bullshit? Will he sabotage himself with random bullshit?!?

In celebration of Midnight Sun being announced this week - the gang is up to something different! But just as stupid as ever! 50 Shades of Grey isn't the ONLY movie we suffer through this week! Anthony, Milana, and Ross ALL watch the movie based on the book that started it all - Twilight (based on the novel Twilight by Stephenie Meyer). Did we know about the new book being announced when we recorded this? You bet we didn't. Together they try to trace the DNA and inspiration of 50 Shades back to the source material, but eventually just wind up talking about sexy shiny vampires and sour-faced teenagers. ——— If you're interested in reaching out, please feel free to email us at 50weeksofgrey@gmail.com!
