This month on Good Bye To All That, Michael T. Ford III is joined by Pop Break contributor and Screen Mavericks Podcast co-host Megan LaBruna to discuss the Showtime series Yellowjackets, which follows a team of high school soccer players whose plane crashes deep in the wilderness in 1996, where they are left to survive for 19 months, while also telling the story of the survivors’ lives 25 years later, in 2021.
Show topics include:
– The show’s portrayal of the complexity and the depth of adolescent female relationships and dynamics.
– The excellence of the main leads, both in the past and present, as portrayed by Melanie Lynskey and Sophie Nélisse, Tawny Cypress and Jasmin Savoy Brown, Juliette Lewis and Sophie Thatcher, and Christina Ricci and Sammi Hanratty.
– Our love/ hate relationship with Misty.
– Natalie and Travis’ tragic romance.
– Jackie and Shauna’s friendship, and Shauna and Jeff’s relationship, and the way each respective relationship evolved across the ten episodes.
– The show’s role as spiritual successor to Lost, as well as its obvious Lord of the Flies influences.
– Unsung or underrated characters from the current season, and potentially going forward.
– Some of our favorite theories, particularly involving Lottie and her cult.
– Whether we’d like to see the show remain grounded in realism, or take a supernatural turn.
