Hey everyone, we missed the podcast and decided to come back and check out one of the inspirations for Yellowjackets, namely William Golding award-winning 1954 novel Lord of the Flies, about a group of young boys stranded on an island and the tension between civility and savagery that ensues.Wendy and Jason are thrilled to be joined by Wendy’s daughter Kasi for this ep. Kasi is a middle school teacher and knows this text well. Check out our Facebook group where we chat about Yellowjackets and a bunch of other great shows.

Hey Yellowjacketeers, here’s a little holiday surprise for you. Join Daphne, Jason, Jenny, and quizmaster Penny for some YJ trivia. We’re pretty rusty so let’s see if you guys can get more questions right than we did….Note/correction: We looked it up, and it turns out that the teddy bear in one of the Yellowjacket’s bedrooms just kind of looks like Laura Lee’s bear, Leonard. But Leonard’s other eye is missing, and his nose is quite askew.Check out our Facebook group where we chat about Yellowjackets and a bunch of other great shows.

Daphne and Penny welcome Jenny and Lucy to discuss the 1993 movie, “Alive,” starring Ethan Hawk, Josh Hamilto and Vincent Spano and based on the true story of the 1972 Andes plane crash and unbelievable survival and rescue. Join this quartet to talk about survival in the real world, how it compares to what we’ve seen so far on Yellowjackets and what we can take away from the film.Trailer for the upcoming “The Society of Snow” film based on the same story: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxLQjkpS99YWhat the Andes Miracle Teaches about Adaptive Leadership: https://knowledge.wharton.upenn.edu/article/what-the-andes-miracle-teaches-about-adaptive-leadership/The Cast of Us podcast - interview with Josh Hamilton: https://podcastica.com/podcast/the-cast-of-us/episode/468-josh-hamilton-lance-hornsbyCheck out our Facebook group where we chat about Yellowjackets and a bunch of other great shows.

My god, here’s another 3 1/2 hours on the YJ season finale, and that’s thanks to you guys sending in such fantastic feedback. Seriously, thank you all so much for your insights, humor, theories, and perspectives this season. What a joy to have you as a part of this with us!I also wanna sincerely thank everyone who wrote in to challenge my (Jason’s) perspective on Matt Saracusa. I’m sure for everyone who bothered to send something in, there were many others who thought similar and either kept it to themselves and maybe even unsubscribed. I very much appreciate you engaging with me on it. I’ve been thinking about it a lot over the past couple weeks, and as the days passed and more emails and calls came in, it’s hit me more and more how women have had to deal with men who were disdainful, domineering, and emotionally manipulative, among other things. And I’ve been feeling worse and worse about being so dismissive of that, among all of you and my cohosts too. I’m sorry. I was so busy defending my arguments that I forgot to be a human being.I asked myself how I got to a place where I was defending a guy like Matt, and I realized it’s because I had been feeling judgmental of the actions of many of the other characters in the show, and to still appreciate the show, I had to start taking those actions less seriously, and to think of it more as a black comedy. So then when Matt came along and did something that while I agree is immoral and objectionable, isn’t as bad as things other characters have done (which I still do believe - murder is worse, for example), then it was jarring to me when people did take his actions seriously. But I failed to fully honor that that’s because you’ve had first-hand experience with men like him.Even in this podcast episode, which we recorded several days ago (Sat, June 3) I still hadn’t completely come to the place where I’m at right now, where I just want to express that I think it’s totally fucked that you’ve had to deal with guys like this. I’m really sorry I wasn’t more attuned to that in these podcasts. I’ll try to do better.PS We do talk about Matt Saracusa more in this episode, because we wanted to include all the feedback that had been sent in up to the time when we recorded. We’re also aware a lot of you are probably sick of hearing about, it, so we put it all together towards the end, and you can skip if you want. It’s at around the 2:31:00 mark (depending on how many ads were placed in the episode). —Check out Daphne’s figure skating / ice dance podcast! thisweekinskating.comWe’ll be back if there’s actually a bonus 10th episode of this season, and we might be back with some other stuff before season 3 rolls around too.
