    Aging, Adulthood, & Apocalypse

    Aging, Adulthood, & Apocalypse

    In this week’s episode, Aidan and Aditi explore the innovative film Boyhood (2014), shot over 12 years to authentically capture a boy named Mason's journey from childhood to adulthood. They discuss director Richard Linklater's unique narrative approach and relate it to their own childhood experiences, sharing personal stories and excerpts from Aditi’s childhood diary.
    Our hosts discuss aging and adulthood, particularly through the lens of post-college life. They explore how Gen Z's views on "growing up" are shaped by the daunting conditions of modern society, including the looming threat of a climate apocalypse.

    Endless Twilight: An Eternal Legacy

    Endless Twilight: An Eternal Legacy

    It’s 2008, and vampires are having their big moment. With the release of the first Twilight movie, Stephanie Meyer forever changed our conceptions of creatures of the night by making them...sparkly. Whether you were a die-hard fan who read all the books or just got dragged to see Breaking Dawn Part Two in theaters, you definitely have some thoughts on the Twilight Saga — as do our Gen Z hosts Aidan and Aditi. 
    In our latest Banterly episode, we delve into the enduring legacy of the Twilight series, offering not only a glimpse into its impact but also a quick dive into the history of vampires. Plus, we unearth lesser-known tidbits about the first Twilight film's director, Catherine Hardwicke, whose artistic vision gave birth to the iconic sepia-filtered world of Twilight.
