Exploring the Trauma of Yellowjackets
Post Show Recaps covers “Yellowjackets,” the Showtime thriller about a high school girls’ soccer team stranded in the wild and forced to survive extreme threats of the natural and possibly supernatural variety.
Melanie Lynskey, Tawny Cypress, Juliette Lewis and Christina Ricci star as modern versions of four of the Yellowjackets, mysteriously alive in the present, though still haunted by their horrifying past. The series streams on Fridays and airs Sunday nights on Showtime, starting on March 24.
Josh Wigler (@roundhoward), Jess Sterling (@TheJessSterling), Grace Leeder (@hifromgrace), Marissa Garza (@marzbars) and LaTonya Starks (@lkstarks) are the team covering “Yellowjackets” this season, with multiple weekly podcasts plus bonus shows on the way.
This week, Jess, Marissa, and special guest, Melissa (@melissaw28) take a break from deep diving to analyze the way in which the characters of Yellowjackets process the trauma they experienced.
