Tequila Twilight: Recent Episodes
Leanna Gradolph
We can’t handle our liquor (thanks quarantine), but we can handle young adult fiction (maybe). Welcome to Tequila Twilight, a literary comedy podcast! We’re Lindsay and Leanna, best friends who love smiling and Edward Cullen and taking shots. We’re starting at the beginning and providing our own mid-20s analysis of our favorite adolescent saga. Listen, read along, write to us, tell us we suck, bear with us, and above all, have a nice day.
Ooooo we finally MADE IT! We’re at the end of the first book of the Twilight Saga and boy are we excited to put this book down and not pick it up again for a very long time. Hear what happens when the Cullens’ plans go horribly awry, and Bella decides to make her own choices (maybe she should stop that). Up next: Midnight Sun!
Plz don’t come for Leanna who says Supernatural Black Hole at one point!! She listens to the Supernatural podcast a lot. In this episode we dissect the lack of executive function and planning skills displayed in chapters 17, 18, and 19. No drinking game per se so sip along as you please!
This long-awaited mini-sode covers FAN THEORIES and PLOT HOLES spanning the corners of the World Wide Web. And trust us, beloveds, the content is worth the extreme audio malfunctions apparent throughout the episode, but if makes you feel better you can take a drink every time you hear a snap, crackle, or pop. Just don’t @ us about it.
Hello we are here!!! Episode 6 covers chapters 14, 15, and 16. Bella and Edward share some private moments, vampire lore is addressed, Carlisle’s history is unraveled.
Did you know the Quileutes of the Pacific Northwest actually exist and are much cooler and have a more rich history than they get credit for? Take a break from our typical fictional prattle and dive into the realities of the Quileute tribe, how Twilight has impacted its people, and what Stephenie Meyer got wrong.
Get it? Like pent-up emotions but it’s episode 5 so penta like pentagram. How witchy! In this episode we explore Bella’s social inadequacies and rude tendencies, along with Edward’s fascination with gently stroking human skin.
Howdy friends! This episode we’re diving deep into the minutiae of Bella and Edward’s feeble conversations, just kidding we’ll skip the boring parts. These chapters are critical to the development of our heroine’s burgeoning romance: friendship, honesty, violence, the “L” word; all will be explored. And don’t forget to take a drink or a moment of reflection every time Bella is clumsy or when Edward chuckles.
Enjoy the atmospheric background noises including birds, gulps, burps, and general air; this episode has. It. All. We covered chapters 5, 6, and 7 in Twilight back in June and here we are in August publishing it. Crazy times!
We’re back!! This episode we cover chapters 2, 3, and 4, and drink every time Bella mentions her quirky clumsiness. Bear with our technical difficulties in recording as we touch upon how hard it is to have so many boys like you and begin to discuss the apparent racism in the Twilight saga (more to come on that at a later date).
Welcome to our podcast! We have no idea what we're doing. But one thing we do know: Twilight. And reading books, and tequila. And talking. So let's put those together and see what happens!
