Lottie, Van, Mari, and Akilah

Harrison (@jonesingjay on Twitter) joined Kelly G for this discussion on Lottie, Van, Akilah and Mari. We talk about how excited we are to see Simone Kessell and Lauren Ambrose as adult Lottie and Van (respectively), and speculate on what their lives may have been like since they were rescued. We also talk about Yellowjackets' version of Statler and Waldorf: Akilah and Mari. Did they survive? If so, what have they been up to since they were rescued? Is Mari still fantasizing about being locker neighbors with Jackie?
 
This was the final episode with just Kelly G and a guest co-host. Lots of great content coming up with our new permanent co-host, Kelly McClure! Please comment your thoughts! And let us know what you're most looking forward to in Season 2!

The Symbol + Cabin Daddy = Robert Hansen?? Special Guest: Jade

Jade joined me for this discussion in which we analyze the symbol, go down several rabbit holes, and discuss the similarities between serial killer Robert Hansen and our speculations on Cabin Daddy, AKA Dead Hunter Guy. You're gonna need your tinfoil hats for this one.

The Evolution of Female and LGBTQ+ Characters with Kelly McClure | A Yellowjackets Bonus Discussion

Special thanks to our patrons, including our new patron Julian and Honorary Antler Queens Courtney and Jade! 
 
My guest this week is the Queen Bee of Yellowjackets content, Kelly McClure.
 
We talked all about the evolution of female and LGBTQ+ characters, and growing up in the 90s. We were both in high school at the same time as the class of 96, so prepare for a lot of 90s nostalgia!
 
Kelly McClure is Salon's Nights and Weekends editor, and her work has been featured in Vulture, The A.V. Club, Vanity Fair, Cosmopolitan, Nylon, Vice (where she became the first official music editor), my personal favorite, BUST (where she also worked as the music editor), and many other publications. In 2022 she started her own publishing imprint, WolfieVibes Publications, and released her debut novella, Something Is Always Happening Somewhere in May of 2022. It’s described as a visceral tale of grief with horror elements. She wrote a fantastic article titled “Yellowjackets is gay as hell. Why that’s just what we needed right now” which plays into what we talked about in this episode. Visit the links below to see some of Kelly's work:

Supernatural vs Logical Explanations

We all know some unusual *#$% went down in the wilderness with our beloved Yellowjackets. We've also seen some of that unusual *#$% happening in the other timelines as well. But are there logical explanations for everything? Or are supernatural forces at work? Maybe a little bit of both? My guest Lexi and I sorted through it all in this week's episode. Hope you enjoy it!
