VoK 760: Yellowjackets Season 2

Posted on July 2, 2023 by | 2 comments

Meat’s back on the menu, girls!

Join Michal/inkasrain, Glen/dagos_rivers, Matt (it’s his real name), and Adam/drownedsnow in a free-wheeling review and discussion of Showtime’s delectable survivalist/cult drama, Yellowjackets. How does the second season compare to the groundbreaking first? Is the past or present timeline pulling ahead? Are the latest shocking developments satisfying, or leaving us, y’know, hungry for more? (Oh, and what’s up with the mystery episode 10?)

Plus in the after show, we muse on the state of the entertainment industry in 2023, as well as some like, video game stuff or whatever.

Music: “No Return” by Anna Waronker and Craig Wedren

Edited by Michal
