April 02, 2020 06:00 - 24 minutes - 15.7 MBAfter the peak of comedy that was, "I'M A VIRGO" from last week, I don't really know what funny thing to say here to top that...
Chapter 5: Imprint
March 26, 2020 06:00 - 23 minutes - 19.7 MBFamous voice actors Colleen and Rebecca grace you with a free hint of their stellar abilities. Here's that divorce link (or something similar): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No-fault_divorce#Controversy
Chapter 4: Nature
March 19, 2020 06:00 - 32 minutes - 25.3 MBColleen would just like to state that she blended so well with Vanessa Hudgens, you can barely tell it's two people singing. She's not sure if that's a good thing or not... Here is the link about Nikki Reed and Ian Somerhalder and his relational abuse: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/ian-somerhalder-said-he-secretly-threw-out-wife-nikki-reeds-birth-control-pills_n_59c5443ee4b0cdc773311967 Here is the comic about mental load: https://english.emmaclit.com/2017/05/20/you-shouldve-asked/

March 12, 2020 06:00 - 48 minutes - 41.7 MBThere's a lot off the rails here, but most importantly, if your state hasn't: VOTE.
Chapter 2: Evasion
March 05, 2020 06:00 - 36 minutes - 26.3 MBColleen still has husky voice in this recording, so we're sorry about all the cracking and whatnot that goes on. What we're never sorry for is our spicy discourse. Send us your team Edward (or Jacob) testimonials! You know that email: [email protected].
Preface and Chapter 1: Ultimatum
February 27, 2020 06:00 - 34 minutes - 25.5 MBWelcome to book 3! We're about halfway through this harrowing journey. Speaking of harrowing, you're welcome for cutting out approximately 5 minutes of political ranting that had nothing to do with Twilight. Rebecca and Colleen just get in a ~mood~ sometimes...
Toss Some Trash To Your Witcher
February 20, 2020 06:00 - 49 minutes - 35.8 MBWe're back baby! Colleen is healthy (mostly) and Rebecca is done with her surgery (mostly). Here, have some spicy Witcher discourse as a treat! Apologies for the slightly our of tune violin playing - I didn't want to spend two hours getting it exactly right.
The Missing Episode
February 13, 2020 06:00 - 55 seconds - 657 KBWe'll return to our scheduled programming next week, fear not!
New Moonshine
February 06, 2020 06:00 - 43 minutes - 33.3 MBYes, yes, I know I forgot Melisandre and God knows how many other Game of Thrones characters in my count. I was drunk. Our points still stand. Here's one of the best videos on the Internet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXowfha2dTE
Epilogue: Treaty
January 30, 2020 06:00 - 20 minutes - 17.3 MBApologies for some of the audio quality ~issues~; I did my best (it wasn't much) to mitigate them! Here, as promised, is a link to a small article from the Burke Museum in Seattle entitled "Truth vs. Twilight". The museum seems like a wonderful place and you should check the rest of the website out! https://www.burkemuseum.org/static/truth_vs_twilight/
Chapter 24: Vote
January 23, 2020 06:00 - 37 minutes - 28.7 MBHappy Anniversary to us!! In this, our 52nd episode (would our anniversary be the 53rd episode? Who can really say), we wax poetic about many things. The first anniversary gift is traditionally paper, so feel free to send us money (that's paper right?)...
Chapter 23: The Truth
January 16, 2020 06:00 - 32 minutes - 21.9 MBGet ready for Colleen to do a ~light~ amount of screaming about men and their terrible natures, and stay tuned in all the way until the end for one of the most buck-wild Catholic religious education stories you've probably ever heard...
Chapter 22: Flight
January 09, 2020 06:00 - 39 minutes - 26.7 MBRebecca and Colleen do some fun thought experiments for a lot of this episode, including a riveting "Would You Rather". Let us know your spicy answer! Here is the Indiebound link for the book Colleen mentioned: https://www.indiebound.org/book/9780062470836
Chapter 21: Verdict
January 02, 2020 06:00 - 22 minutes - 14.9 MBA very important Ian McDiarmid correction - he did play Palpatine in Return of the Jedi! What a star. If you're interested in a wild Michael Sheen performance (and a different take on this scene than the book gave us), here is a clip from the movie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qfsS2lJWTUg
Chapter 20: Volterra
December 26, 2019 06:00 - 30 minutes - 20.6 MBInstead of an attempt to be funny this will be a plea to anyone out there who has ever seen a one thousand, five thousand, or ten thousand dollar bill. PLEASE email us and let us know - I have to know more about their existence.
Chapter 19: Race
December 19, 2019 06:00 - 30 minutes - 25.1 MBIs this the wildest way we've ever ended a show? Guess you'll have to listen to the whole thing to find out. Colleen was wrong about the cell phones on planes thing but right about the gas station thing and here are the receipts from Mythbusters to prove it: https://mythresults.com/episode49 and http://www.slate.com/blogs/business_insider/2014/10/03/cellphones_at_gas_stations_mythbusters_debunk_one_of_the_biggest_myths_in.html Here is the vampire simulator Rebecca mentioned: https://...
Chapter 18: The Funeral
December 12, 2019 06:00 - 40 minutes - 32.7 MBAs one of us says in this very episode, "Buckle up, buttercup!" We talk shitty men (as usual) and weird things to hear at work. Bonus points if you can identify both the singer and the musical from which the piece of our interlude song comes.
Chapter 17: Visitor
December 05, 2019 06:00 - 25 minutes - 18.2 MBGet ready to hear the funniest pitch for a podcast you will ever hear in your life - it's the one podcast we'd openly admit is funnier than ours. Kudos to Archer for the idea!
Chapter 16: Paris
November 28, 2019 06:00 - 29 minutes - 20.7 MBThere's a lot of heavy sighing in this episode - it's a reflection of the time of year and how bad this chapter is. Here's the SparkNotes for R&J if you need a plot refresher: https://www.sparknotes.com/shakespeare/romeojuliet/
Chapter 15: Pressure
November 21, 2019 06:00 - 37 minutes - 21.5 MBApologies again for the audio quality - beep boop bop I'm a robot now. This episode has a section with content warnings for substance abuse, suicide, and suicidal ideation. If you or a friend or loved one ever feel like you need help, please talk to someone. The AFSP is a great place to start: https://afsp.org/
Chapter 14: Family
November 14, 2019 06:00 - 43 minutes - 24.9 MBA thousand apologies (again) for the audio quality... you get what you pay for I guess... This week that well spent money will buy you: multiple rants/anecdotes from Colleen, and multiple uses of the word "woof" unironically from Rebecca.
Chapter 13: Killer
November 07, 2019 06:00 - 30 minutes - 23.3 MBThis episode abounds with song references...so I guess it's business as usual over here at Trashedlight, Inc. Also, Science Facts with Rebecca are back!!
Chapter 12: Intruder
October 31, 2019 06:00 - 33 minutes - 22 MBAs silly and insane as we sound at the beginning of this one, we do dive into some serious and important subjects that, as usual, surround us giving out PSAs about abusive men like flyers from an environmental group outside a Trader Joe's. Reductress article mentioned: https://reductress.com/post/this-man-is-happy-he-owned-up-to-past-however-triggering-it-may-be-for-you/
Chapter 11: Cult
October 24, 2019 06:00 - 42 minutes - 33.9 MBRebecca cries from laughter during this one. I hope you do too, dear listener. And now, our plethora of show note links - Article on trauma and how it affects the body: https://www.webmd.com/mental-health/emotional-trauma-18/emotional-trauma-mind-body-connection Hell's Angels helping victims of child abuse: https://harleyliberty.com/2018/08/03/biker-organization-supports-protects-children-of-abusepolice-concerned-about-rise-of-hells-angels-puppet-clubs/ Hugh Jackman magazine covers: https...
Chapter 10: The Meadow
October 17, 2019 06:00 - 24 minutes - 13.7 MBWelcome to our most positive episode yet folks! "Into the woods to see the glen so Edward talks in my head again..." (Any other/better Into the Woods parodies can be sent to [email protected] for approval by your favorite podcasting duo)
Chapter 9: Third Wheel
October 10, 2019 06:00 - 43 minutes - 25 MBWe have a special guest! Big thanks to Archer for reading a full chapter of this garbage and then hanging out with us to talk about it. For those interested, from 0:35-1:13 in this video is the fun ~hand-holding~ scene in the New Moon movie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nijGK0Qw-e0
Chapter 8: Adrenaline
October 03, 2019 06:00 - 22 minutes - 15.1 MBThis episode is... mostly an angry helmet PSA from your favorite podcasting duo. We're not sorry about it and you're welcome that we didn't make it an even longer, angrier PSA. Here is the Margaret Atwood quote we reference, but only read it if you're ready to be haunted by it every day for the rest of your life: https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/329778-male-fantasies-male-fantasies-is-everything-run-by-male-fantasies
Chapter 7: Repetition
September 26, 2019 06:00 - 32 minutes - 22.2 MBAh, the friend zone. Ya hate to see it -- and we don't in this chapter!! Here is a link to the full text of "The Yellow Wallpaper" Here is the Wikipedia article on it, which provides some nice context. And here is an article about drug abuse in rural America.
Chapter 6: Friends
September 19, 2019 06:00 - 33 minutes - 24.4 MB"Team Jacob or BUST, babbbyyyyy!!!" --Colleen, for way too long in this episode, as is her right as a podcast host. Also there are some weird clicking noises in this episode that your fearless editor half tried to get rid of as completely as possible, and we apologize for the ones still there.
Chapter 5: Cheater
September 12, 2019 06:00 - 40 minutes - 29.3 MBWe laugh a LOT in this episode, and y'all know how loud we tend to get when we laugh a lot... Here is a link to the Twitter thread Rebecca mentioned about men expecting women to wait for them: https://cheezburger.com/7841285/twitter-user-shares-story-about-how-his-friend-lost-love-and-its-an-important-message-6-tweets
Chapter 4: Waking Up
September 05, 2019 06:00 - 37 minutes - 29.6 MBHow did we make Kenneth Brannagh relevant in the middle? You'll just have to wait and see. If you want to start therapy and are unsure how, reach out to your general practitioner doctor or start a web search of therapists in your area! We highly recommend it.
Chapter 3: The End
August 29, 2019 06:00 - 56 minutes - 32.3 MBWe have created a new official byline for the podcast: "I'm not saying Bella was asking to contract a vector-borne disease, I'm just saying she wasn't setting herself up for success". If that doesn't make you want to listen, what will??? If Bella's depressive episode that we described resonated with you personally or a loved one, here is a good link to get started on trying to get help: https://nndc.org/resource-links/. You are important and loved and worth helping!
Chapter 2: Stitches
August 22, 2019 06:00 - 23 minutes - 15.1 MBThe theme of this episode: religion. Lots of it, folks. We also create a new, social justice related hashtag!! #NotAllAdolescents. It's okay, we don't really get it either.
Preface and Chapter 1: Party
August 15, 2019 06:00 - 47 minutes - 36.7 MBCONTENT WARNING: We discuss suicide and suicidal ideation for a small chunk in the middle of this episode. If you want to avoid both the conversation about it and our content/trigger warning, skip from 26:34-32:01. If you or a loved one need help ever, the AFSP is a great place to start: https://afsp.org/ Book #2 babbbyyyyy!!!! I looked for almost 20 minutes and I could NOT find the David Tennant interview I referenced, sorry babes. I'll just let that morsel tempt you into finding out why w...
Trashvengers, Assemble!
August 08, 2019 06:01 - 57 minutes - 40.6 MBWell, if the title doesn't clue you into what our "secret bonus episode" is about, I'm not sure what to say. Have some spicy discourse about super heroes! BAH BAH BAH BAH.... Here's the link to character screentime in Endgame: https://geektyrant.com/news/the-screen-time-for-several-of-the-characters-in-avengers-endgame
THE "Trashed"light
August 01, 2019 06:00 - 54 minutes - 46.6 MBWell...we were drunk. What can I say. Colleen does a weird amount of whispering and forgets to circle back to her (I'm sure very important) point about Billy Burke. Rebecca makes too much sense about science but don't worry, you can tell she's drunk too.
Epilogue: An Occasion
July 25, 2019 10:00 - 23 minutes - 16.8 MBWe've hit peak Edward possessiveness and weirdness just in time for the book to be over!...And for it to probably get worse in the next books!...Also, it turns out the state of Washington does have a version of a Cinderella law, which you can read about here: https://www.atg.wa.gov/driving-laws
Chapter 24: An Impasse
July 18, 2019 10:00 - 30 minutes - 21.6 MBCome on a journey with Colleen as she learns a new fact and fails to pronounce the word "opioid" about 17 million different times! And join us all in commemorating the last non-epilogue chapter of Twilight! On a more serious note, here is a good article explaining a more exact timeline of the opioid crisis: https://www.poison.org/articles/opioid-epidemic-history-and-prescribing-patterns-182
Chapter 23: The Angel
July 11, 2019 10:00 - 25 minutes - 21.7 MBWell folks, instead of a summary today you're gonna get a ton of show notes and corrections. Turns out I remembered 0% of Go Ask Alice from when I read it in a Books-a-Million in Dallas when I was 11, so here's Wikipedia to set me straight: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Go_Ask_Alice The lowdown is: definitely fiction, not poetry, problematic af. Our other show notes include name popularity from 2005: Jessica was #27 overall: https://www.babycenter.com/top-baby-names-2005.htm And here's Ellen...
Chapter 22: Hide and Seek
July 04, 2019 10:00 - 29 minutes - 25 MBWell, your fearless editor half of your favorite podcasting duo went a little off the rails with this one...I hope you think I'm as funny as I think I am. If not, enjoy our chats about common sense and finance! A bit of show notes--here's the TV Tropes page for Manic Pixie Dream Girl: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ManicPixieDreamGirl And holy Jesus, I found an article that explains "then perish": https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/then-perish
Chapter 21: Phone Call
June 27, 2019 10:00 - 36 minutes - 26 MBThis summary will contain zero fun hints about the content of our discourse, because we need to warn you that we make some LOUD noises in this episode and your darling editor thought the comedic effect was better if they stayed loud af rather than fiddling with them in post (you're so welcome).
Chapter 20: Impatience
June 20, 2019 10:00 - 32 minutes - 18.5 MBAn incomplete list of the things that Rebecca and Colleen manage to somehow connect to Twilight this week includes: Spy Kids, high school English class, HGTV, and, of course, super hero movies. A quick correction - the CSI: Miami reruns and marathons take place on A&E, not Spike, as it is erroneously stated in the episode.
Chapter 19: Goodbyes
June 13, 2019 10:00 - 42 minutes - 24.2 MBMadonnas and whores, divorces and badly planned escapes, we cover it all! Remember to email us for a good Venmo handle - we accept any and all donations to the noble cause of reading Twilight and talking about it for you folks ;)
Chapter 18: The Hunt
June 06, 2019 10:00 - 23 minutes - 16.4 MBWelcome to probably the most complimentary episode of Trashedlight ever, although that certainly does not mean it doesn't have its fair share of criticisms and weird jokes only the hosts think are funny... For a slightly more in-depth yet digestable take on describing people using food terms, read this! - http://richincolor.com/2013/11/are-we-food/
Chapter 17: The Game
May 30, 2019 10:00 - 34 minutes - 24.3 MBWe finally get this (plot) show on the road! But in exchange, Stephanie Meyer has forgotten what genre she's writing in. Ya win some, ya lose some. Here are some useful explainers of concepts we mentioned in the episode: Born Sexy Yesterday (which is 18 minutes long, not an hour. My bad.)--https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0thpEyEwi80 and Queer Coding in Disney Villains--https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S8pDYbPSKlU
Chapter 16: Carlisle
May 23, 2019 10:00 - 38 minutes - 34.9 MBRemember that old time religion? It's back with a vengeance, as are our musical references (2 this time)! We also get deep and "spill some tea", as the kids say (I think?) to reveal some dark shames of Rebecca and Colleen's past... Here are some useful links and references from the episode! These descriptions aren't just me d***ing around! Parable of the Prodigal Son is Luke 15:11-32 for anyone who wants to read it for themselves. Here is a B&N article on "Twilight: Reimagined": https://w...
