Bitten: Twilight Podcasting

Episode 31: For the Boyfriends

bittenpodcast@hotmail.com (Sam, Sarah, and Sometimes Sarah, the Bitten Hosts) — Wed, 12 May 2010 21:11:44 PDT

This is the new episode of Bitten: Twilight Podcasting.

In this episode we discuss the latest trailer for Eclipse as well as the director for Breaking Dawn. Bill Condon.

We discuss Condon's filmography and his skill and express our optimism for Breaking Dawn.

This trailer is much more action-oriented, and we focus on how the film may or may not deliver on what the trailer seems to be promising in this department.

We dissect each actor's performance in the trailer and use it to unfairly judge their performance in the film.

We then engage in a recasting of the Twilight films based on our own favorite actors. Well, mostly Sam's favorite actors.

Thanks for listening!

bittenpodcast@hotmail.com (Sam, Sarah, and Sometimes Sarah, the Bitten Hosts) — Wed, 30 Dec 2009 23:49:07 PST

Here is the new episode of Bitten: Twilight Podcasting. It was recorded shortly after New Moon hit theatres and contains our belated reviews.

We go through the actors and pick out our favorite and least favorite performances.
We debate how shallow men and women are when watching movies.
We talk directing and cinematography.
How does New Moon stack up to Twilight?
Mike is the center of debate as usual.
More arguments.
Jacob and Edward and the last scene.

This episode was a lot of fun to record and not a lot of fun to edit ( funny how those seem to go together) so sorry for the late release. Happy New Year's to you, listener, and we will see you sometime in 2010 when the next news bomb hits. See you on the other side.
Thanks for listening.
