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
If you enjoyed, here is our Season 1 of YellowJackets review
