About this episode
To make the case for Twilight we need to understand the case against it. This episode examines the roots of people’s hatred of Twilight (spoiler alert: it’s misogyny, but it’s not just misogyny), charts the evolution of modern teenage fan culture, and reveals the reasons why Stephenie Meyer’s series has resonated so deeply with generations of young women.
