Podcast appearances and mentions of Stephenie Meyer

Hoa hoa hoaaaa hoa hoooooo. Welcome to FORKS, the iconic setting, where upon reflection, Bella was kind of that weird girl who was begging for an ancient man to give her the time of day. Help us struggle to avoid movie references as we explore the first book of the Twilight saga by Stephenie Meyer.

On this episode, we cover episodes 11-15 of Midnight Sun. Edward asks Bella a lot of questions, and she answers like the Cool Girl she is.

Don't forget to check our instagram to see Charlie's illustration of large-breasted Siobhan. Join us next time as we cover chapters 16-20.

We have to go back. Back to FORKS! To celebrate 700 episodes of our show, we decided to celebrate the tenth anniversary of a companion novel celebrating the tenth anniversary of Twilight. Meet Beaufort and Edythe, who very much resemble Bella and Edward, and the rest of the genderswapped cast who inhabit this novel that is definitely not all different from the original novel at all, no way.

We're BACK! Did you miss us? We missed you! What better way to rekindle the SOAKing than with 800+ pages of broody Edward? On this episode, we cover the first five chapters of Midnight Sun. Tangents are many, and we ask the important questions, like was Edward circumcised, and if so, did his foreskin grow back when he became a vampire? Join us next time as we cover chapters 6-10 of Midnight Sun.

**THIS EPISODE CONTAINS FULL SPOILERS**It's the hormonal-erotic Mormon series that no one asked for, and still got a franchise of four movies! It's…Stephenie Meyer's “Twilight!” Many fans through the years have requested this episode. It takes your trusty hosts to some dark (and sparkly) places. This is also a special episode because it's the introduction to our Connections Series, which means that each movie we cover includes an actor who was in the last adaptation.

For Valentine's Day, we're celebrating the greatest American love story of all time: Isabella Swan and Edward “The Bad Guy” Cullen. That's right, after years of threatening to turn the podcast into a full-time Twilight show, we're finally doing it. For one episode, at least. But how to tackle such an enormous endeavor? Well, we've found the two perfect people to help us in our quest: Courtney and Rose from the great Fiction Fixation podcast.   The four of us unpack our different Twilight journeys, discuss the odd figure that is Stephenie Meyer, try to determine the connection between Twilight and Mormonism, unpack the demented sexual politics of this franchise, and, finally, we all confess how much we'd want Edward to bite our necks.   Listen to Fiction Fixation on Apple Podcast (https://bit.ly/411OKaS), Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Well, it's finally happened. Not only have we reached the conclusion of the Twilight Saga (and what a saga it's been!) but we have also reached the exact halfway point of Robert Pattinson's filmography. Or we will have, once we get through this film, which seems to mostly consist of a creepy little girl touching people's faces.There's also a fight scene that lasts for maybe 40 minutes and you will simply not believe how little of that 40 minutes is actually relevant to the plot.Plus, Harry is baffled by how the Volturi functions, Stacey gets genuinely quite angry at Stephenie Meyer, and we just can't work out what Jacob is still doing in these films.Don't forget to subscribe to Poster Boys, and leave us a comment and rating!Keen to see our beautiful faces?

Vampire January continues this week as we dive into the supernatural romance that took the world by storm—Twilight (2008). Directed by Catherine Hardwicke and based on Stephenie Meyer's best-selling novel, this film introduced us to Bella Swan, Edward Cullen, and the moody, misty world of Forks, Washington. From its iconic soundtrack to its sparkling vampires, Twilight left an indelible mark on pop culture and launched a franchise that defined a generation. But how well does it hold up today? Join us as we unpack its cultural impact, fan-fueled controversies, and the legacy of this divisive phenomenon.

Time is a flat circle and we're reading Twilight by Stephenie Meyer. The last time either of us read the Twilight series, it was 2008 and we read it at the very beginning of our friendship. We were both different people and the world was a different place. What do we think of Edward and Bella today versus 16 years ago? Are we Team Edward or Jacob? (Or someone else…?) We'll talk about the book, as well as its cultural impact (we know WE KNOW) in our 100th episode. Also discussed: our friend's birthday party, our disbelief over where this podcast has taken us, and Veronica's upcoming anthology. Special thanks to Dani McLean, S.L. Prater, and friend of the show Lee for sending us well-wishes, which you'll hear throughout the episode. S.O.S. subject: Pushin' Cushion by Vera Valentine Up next: We'll announce it when we know.

Welcome to Multiverse News, Your source for Information about all your favorite fictional universes. The Hollywood Reporter broke the news that Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings director Destin Daniel Cretton is in talks to helm the fourth Spider-Man movie for Sony and Marvel Studios. While neither Sony or Marvel have provided a comment at this time, this is in line with previous reports and claims that a fourth Spider-Man film with Tom Holland was being fast-tracked to begin shooting next year. Though he only has one MCU feature under his belt, Cretton is already beginning to feel like a bit of an elder statesman within the Marvel Studios stable of filmmakers, having been previously attached to The Kang Dynasty before it became Avengers: Doomsday and creating the Wonderman series that is in production. Early reviews from Venice Film Festival screenings for Joker: Folie a Deux, the sequel to 2019's Joker, hit the internet last week, with the response to the musical follow-up decidedly mixed. Critics seem divided on the film's uneven tone, with criticisms citing a plodding narrative and underutilization of Lady Gaga. Positive takes celebrated the performances of Phoenix and Gaga, as well as Philips' direction. In a July 2024 interview, Kevin Fiege confirmed more Marvel Studios Special Presentations, like Werewolf By Night and the Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special, were on the way, with one actively in production at the time– sounds like old news, but now, Marvel Head of Streaming, Television and Animation Brad Winderbaum, doubled down on the promise while speaking with Comicbook.com. Previously, Feige detailed that the Special Presentation wouldn't air in 2025, but 2026, though Winderbaum's answer seems to insinuate it could be sooner. James Earl Jones, the legendary actor known for his iconic baritone as Darth Vader in Star Wars, died Monday at his Dutchess County, N.Y. home. He was 93. Warner Brothers has released the trailer for A Minecraft Movie, starring Jack Black and Jason Momoa and directed by Jared Hess. The game-based film premieres in theaters on April 4, 2025. Ahead of the main Emmy Awards scheduled for Sunday, September 15, last weekend saw the Creative Arts Emmy Awards ceremony held at downtown Los Angeles' Peacock Theater, where the FX network enjoyed an incredibly successful evening. With 14 wins, Shogun broke the record for a single season of television, while The Bear took home 7 awards as well. Notable wins include The Dark Knight's Nestor Carbonell as the best guest actor for his role as the Portuguese merchant Rodrigues, and Jamie Lee Curtis for best guest actress in a comedy series for her appearance in The Bear, her first Emmy win. Alison Brie has been cast as a key villain role of Evil-Lyn in Amazon MGM Studios and Mattel Films' live-action take on Masters of the Universe. Only Murders in the Building has been renewed for season five. Currently, season four is dropping weekly episodes on Hulu every Tuesday, leading up to the finale on October 29. Netflix has greenlit the long-rumored Twilight animated series, now in production. Based on Stephenie Meyer's Midnight Sun, it retells Twilight from Edward Cullen's perspective. In a deleted blog post, Game of Thrones author George R.R. Martin criticized creative choices in House of the Dragon's second season, hinting at future posts addressing issues. HBO responded, citing the need for "difficult choices" due to the scope of Martin's work. A Reacher spinoff is in development at Amazon Prime, with showrunner Nick Santora writing. The series is expected to focus on Frances Neagley, played by Maria Sten. In a PEOPLE interview, Michael Keaton revealed his real name is Michael Douglas, but he had to change it when joining SAG-AFTRA in the 1970s. Now, he plans to use a hybrid name, Michael Keaton Douglas, for future projects.

Episode Notes Maha and Eda welcome you to the podcast after a long pause with a different subject than usual. With the lack of summer dizis this year they have been enjoying some reading time and this episode is all about their latest favorite genre: fantasy romance or "romantasy". Join them for a fun adventure as they talk about the history, favorite sub-genres and also psychological and sociological reasons why it's been so popular these past few years. Some of the things mentioned throughout the episode: "Frankenstein" by Mary Shelley "Twilight" by Stephenie Meyer "Outlander" series by Diana Gabaldon "A Court of Thorns and Roses" series by Sarah J. Maas Grimm Diaries by Cameron Jace "Ella Enchanted" by Gail Carson Levine "Circe" by Madeline Miller EDA's recs: "A Study in Drowning" by Ava Reid "The Bird and the Sword" by Amy Harmon The book Eda mentions towards the end where we say, spicy scenes must feel earned is "One True Love" by Linda Kage. Not half as good as the two books she recommended above but you might want to give it a chance. It's about forbidden romance and does have spicy scenes so please beware if you are underage. (We talk about it at 44.40) -MAHA's recs: "Ember of Ashes Quartet" by Sabaa Tahir "Glass of Throne" series" by Sarah J Mass "Caraval" by Stephanie Garber "The Iron Butterfly" series by Chandra Haan Also mentioned: The Fourth Wing and it's sequel The Iron Flame by Rebecca Yarros TIME STAMPS 00.00 - 00.50 Intro music 00.50 - 09.00 What are we excited about regarding upcoming dizis? 09.00 - 16.20 Origins of fantasy romance 16.20 - 26.00 Psychological and sociological reasons behind romantasy's success 26.00 - 35.00 Sub-genres of romantasy 35.00 - 41.00 Eda's reading experiment 41.00 - 47.30 How we feel about spicy scenes 47.30 - 53.05 Our favorite books 53.05 - 55.10 Goodbye and outro Let us know if you want us to make an episode about fantasy romance movies and series.

The girls dive into the next two chapters of New Moon, RFK Jr's Brain Worm, first Twilight experiences, and the strange motif of Bella's entire family throwing expensive camera equipment around. They also trudge through Bella's crippling depression, toeing the line between being concerned and making fun of the way that Stephenie Meyer writes.Check Patreon for our Rant Corner on the Israel Palestine conflict/protests!

This week Craig, Phil, and Will watch the 2016 Stephenie Meyer film The Host! Also on the pod the guys chat music, movies, and apparently I watched the wrong movie?

The title we almost picked: Bella Would Die For You In this episode, we recount Bella's daring escape, and dare we say it...we owe Stephenie Meyer an apology. Because Alice's visions do kind of make sense in this chapter. Who knew!! We also talk about how sometimes, being ugly is a gift.

Brian and Leighton are back with another incisive and incredibly timely book review! Join us as we discuss Stephenie Meyer's 2008 masterwork Breaking Dawn and try not to break down emotionally. All you need to know is that Brian has not read any of the other Twilight books and was also totally unspoiled on the imprinting subplot, so... enjoy.

This week the girls dig into the first two chapters of the book, and also discuss hobbies, being a Pickme, how to Pronounce Susan Meyer's name, George R. R. Martin's obsession with incest, and other magical tales!

In this week's episode of Pages n' Pages, your hosts are still in a reading slump! We tried the tips we talked about last week to see if they would help! What do you do to get out of a reading slump? What We've Read and What We Are Reading  Wild Love (Rose Hill #1) by Elsie Silver Slow Dance by Rainbow Rowell. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.  The Host by Stephenie Meyer and narrated by Kate Reading Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell Carry on by Rainbow Rowell Red, White and Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston

Happy 7th season! We have returned to cover yet another Stephenie Meyer book- it's New Moon! Get ready for emo Bella, papercuts, and weird racist wolf lore on this season of Chick-Lit!

On this episode, we read the first half of The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner: An Eclipse Novella (in the standard paperback, that's pages 1-89). Bree was a newborn vampire from Eclipse that Stephenie Meyer just couldn't get out of her head. We like her, too! We talk cave romance, Steph's stereotypes, "the dregs" of society, and more. Join us next time as we finish Bree's story.

We had to dig deep for tonight's episode. Tonight we are heading back to our first dabble into the fantasy world, though whether it's fantasy or horror could possibly be debated (some might say comedy could be thrown into the ring). It has our love and will for all time. That's right; tonight we are talking The Twilight Saga written by none other than Stephenie Meyer. Let us know what you think! And don't forget to share this with your family and friends!! #Twilight #NewMoon #Ecplise #BreakingDawn #PartOne #PartTwo #Vampires #Werewolves #Cullens #SparkleIntro song: It's Time for Change from MelodyLoops Facebook Group: Fandom Family ChatsEmail: familyfanclub2021@gmail.com Website: FamilyFanClub Twitter: @FamilyFanClubs Instagram: @familyfanclubs YouTube: Fandom Family ChatsFacebook Page: Fandom Family Chats TikTok: FandomFamilyChatshttps://www.spreaker.com/podcast/fandom-family-chats--5972212/support

This week Camila and Jen are joined by Jen's daughter, Corinne, as they discuss Caraval, the first book in Stephanie Garber's YA Fantasy trilogy of the same name. In addition to Caraval, the ladies also give their opinions on the age gap trope and all things literary romance, from cowboy (Elsie Silver), to vampire (Stephenie Meyer), to regency (Julia Quinn and Jane Austen). 

What makes monsters so erotic? On today's episode, we talk to writer and researcher Ella Gallego about her Monstrous Desire study. We talk about the increasingly vocalized attraction many of us feel for monsters, our first monster crushes, and how Stephenie Meyer just loves a cuckolding fantasy.
