Well, that’s another season of Yellowjackets under our belts. Now that we’ve had a little time to digest the finale, Andrea and Jodie are back to wrap up Season 3. We’re clarifying some of the more complex moments from “Full Circle,” breaking down cast reactions, sharing some of our listeners’ comments and questions, and finally (finally!) Andrea takes us to Theory Corner for her long-threatened breakdown of how Freud’s concept of the uncanny shows up in the show, like, everywhere.If you’re new here, we hope you’ll stick around during the off-season! We’re kicking things off with a look at the movies that either inspired or have been referenced in Yellowjackets, starting with Heavenly Creatures, Melanie Lynskey’s big screen debut!

Shuffle up and deal! Jodie and Andrea watched “Full Circle,” the Season 3 finale of Yellowjackets, and the hunt, as they say, is officially on.In the wilderness, it’s a hazy shade of winter, Van’s got a long way to go if she wants to be the next Ricky Jay, and we say goodbye to a real one.In the present, Tai prioritizes a protein-rich diet. Callie must have been absent the day everyone else learned mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell. Shauna wants to kill, and you have to believe her–it’s for more than just selfish reasons!Next week, we’ll take a step back to look at Season 3 as a whole: how it fits into the larger arc of the series, what might be coming in Season 4 (fingers crossed!!), and we’ll do a major theory roundup. If you're reading this, that means you've probably got your podcatcher of choice open right now.

The Watchers recently hit the 100-episode milestone. For two years, Jodie’s been covering the North Jersey angle, and Andrea’s been holding it down for South Jersey. So we figured it was finally time to bring in someone to represent Central Jersey.In this bonus episode, Jodie and Andrea had the absolute honor of sitting down with Yellowjackets co-creator Ashley Lyle (I know, right!?!), a proud Jersey native whose own childhood helped shape the tone and spirit of the show.We talked with Ashley about growing up in Jersey in the '90s, and how she and Bart have worked to bring Jersey authenticity to Yellowjackets. We also discussed the show’s impeccable needle drops, the balance between the psychological and supernatural elements, and how they approached next week’s season finale. Plus a whole lot more, including some behind-the-scenes stories you’ve probably never heard. If you're reading this, that means you've probably got your podcatcher of choice open right now.

Okay, so one time Andrea promised to never release an episode of The Watchers longer than the episode of Yellowjackets we’re reviewing. But if this show has taught us anything, it’s that women from Jersey simply can’t be trusted.

Our soccer team goes spelunking. And we’re reminded that it’s probably about time to test the batteries in our CO detectors. In 2021, Lottie’s the world’s worst Big Sisters of America volunteer.
