Are Bella and Edward the cutest couple in cinematic history? Or a teenage, train-wreck, cautionary tale?
Licensed therapist Jonathan Decker, and unlicensed filmmaker Alan Seawright dig in to the 2007 megablockbuster TWILIGHT to figure out whether you should emulate Bella Swan and Edward Cullen, move to Forks, Washington, or just buy a steel drum full of body glitter.
There’s so much to unpack in this movie, we went ahead and made a part 2. And that’s not counting the EVEN LONGER VERSION we’ll have on our membership site when that launches (stay tuned): https://youtu.be/7xXCaQTkrp0
