Episode #26: Twilight: Breaking Dawn, Part 2 (Part 2)

Published: Nov. 30, 2012, 3:39 a.m.

In this episode, Andrew and Monica achieve the impossible and have a philosophical conversation about the last film in the Twilight series. Is the film\u2019s ending a cop-out, or is it actually a progressive statement about war and violence? Does the PG-13 violence undermine the intended (or unintended) message? Why is everything else in the film so terrible, and just how awesome is Michael Sheen? Tune in to find out.
