Twilight landed with all the grace of a vampire in Crocs… so naturally, we’re back for round two. 🌑
In this episode of The Third Reel, Dale, Dan, and Rachael dive headfirst into The Twilight Saga: New Moon — the broodiest, slowest, most “stare out of a window while sad indie music plays” sequel in cinematic history.
After both Dale and Dan slapped Twilight with a lukewarm 5/10, the big question is: does New Moon rise from the ashes… or just sulk in the corner for two hours? Rachael isn’t optimistic — it’s her least favourite book, and she’s calling the film a full-on snooze fest. Confidence is high. Spirits are low. Team morale? Questionable.
Expect:
• Painfully intense eye contact
• Shirtless Jacob doing overtime
• Bella inventing new levels of dramatic sadness
• And three hosts slowly losing their minds
But… could this be the episode where Team Edward gets benched and Team Jacob steals the show? Stranger things have happened. Probably.
🎙️ If you love movie reviews, chaotic debates, and brutally honest takes on iconic films, you’re in the right place.
