In a diversion from their previously planned schedule, Craig, James and Alan hop aboard a private jet for a crash-landing into the darkly delightful heart of Showtime's Yellowjackets. Spoilers abound as our three citizen detectives pick over the bones of the first season, lashing praise on their fave characters & cast members, assessing the show's structure & aesthetics, and volunteering some bold predictions & speculations about its many enigmas. Also discussed are the merits and otherwise of comparisons to Lord of the Flies, the difficulties faced by the "mystery box" show format in the online age, the ups & downs of 90s nostalgia, and the benefits of the old-school weekly episode paradigm. Plus more of the usual silliness, shameless punning, music nerding, and obligatory Twin Peaks references!
