Twilight 2: New Moon Christmas Special
In this episode, we watched the second Twilight movie, New Moon. Edward leaves Bella because his world is just too dangerous. Bella goes into a depression spiral and then becomes an adrenaline junkie. Meanwhile, Jacob does some pining and then some doggy whining. Our takeaway? We wish the whole movie could have been just big CGI wolf fights and big daddy vampire pope Michael Sheen.
