Episode 165: The Money Fandom
Added 2022-04-11 14:00:10 +0000 UTCTwilight Chapter 3/Midnight Sun Chapter 3
The money fandom is dying! We tally up Fantastic Beast 3's international box office numbers. How is it faring in the Season of Morbius? Speaking of vampires, we have some juicy character stuff to explore this week. How long will Edward's roguish charms and gatekeep-gaslight-girlboss vampire secret hiding routine stay charming, and how long can Bella successfully navigate being world-weary and wizened without tipping too far in that direction? We also have a lot of thrilling action--from Edward's Superman powers to deep dives into the lore of Meyer's vampires (and their houses that they apparently do CRIMES in).
Some housekeeping notes: new podcast art is coming! I will get it out ASAP but I have been very busy recently. Also, there's a strange sound on the recording that sounds like something wobbling that I tried my absolute best to get rid of but couldn't completely remove--if you hear a faint oscillating sound, that's what that is!
Comments
talking about the vampire differences reminded me of a common "criticism" that twilight ruined vampires. even back in the day where I generally agreed with a lot of what was said about twilight I thought "I mean there were already silly depictions of vampires long before twilight."

2022-06-02 05:33:08 +0000 UTCI generally thought of vampires as sticking the fangs in and then sucking the blood *around* the fangs like.... reverse straws? the fangs hold the hole open so they can slurp it up. Which allows for mess + sexy licking the wounds before they've closed up after the fangs come out, but I get the hollow fang idea too. However, I can't believe you missed the obvious detail on the living room computer wall - forget Vampire Eats Delivery, Twilight Vampires are MLG E-sport pros. Imagine the APM for Broodwar.
