yellowjackets is the BEST "teen drama" on tv in ages | recap + deep dive (feat. lord of the flies)

just me gushing about yellowjackets for 45 minutes straight xx

also I'm working on getting captions up for this and for the other ones, I'm hoping it'll do them automatically and then I can go through and edit them, so I'm waiting till the video gets published to see if that will work 😭

THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH FOR 1K!!!! I started working on this a bit ago so I didn't know I was gonna hit it while I was working on it, but I'm so happy thank you so much, I thought like 10 people were gonna see my first couple of videos, and 7 of them were gonna be my family.

this took 5000 years because I just kept wanting to wait for the next episode of season 2 to make sure I didn't need to add anything new, and then I finally edited it over the one week break, but I hope everyone who watches the show is recovering from episode six okay! i know I'm not.
also sorry about the few instances where the clips playing disappear, I had to edit things around a bit to make sure this was gonna be allowed to be up

this is the google form I set up last time, for if you have any ideas for anything you want me to cover in a video! I've already added reading shadow and bone (the grisha trilogy I think is its name?) and finishing goodnight punpun to my list because of some suggestions!

also whoever sent me nice messages through it, thank you i appreciate you so much!

ok resources:
Books: (+ their audio narration)
- Opening narration from Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami (which has absolutely nothing to do with this show actually and I have no explanation for the opening narration I just thought this paragraph fit really well)
- Lord of the Flies by William Golding (also all the narrated clips from the book were actually narrated by William Golding, isn't that so fun?)
- Alive: the story of the Andes Survivors by Piers Paul Reed
