Kristen Stewart's back in the press cycle and the whole internet's talking about Twilight again — so we're doing a brutally honest review of New Moon, the moodiest, mopiest chapter of the saga. We rewatched as adults and it hits very differently.

We get into the forest break-up that scarred a generation, Bella's months-long depression spiral (and those phantom Edward hallucinations), and the case that Jacob was right all along — and hotter. Plus the glow-up that saved Taylor Lautner's career, the strange ageing panic underneath it all, and that chaotic dash to Italy.

Emotional, unhinged, excellent. And if you love this episode let us know, because we might do Eclipse next.
