Yellowjackets wtf?

Yellowjackets season 4 is still probably at least a year away, but we think the movie Send Help, in theaters now, is a great temporary fix. It’s about a supremely skilled woman who gets overlooked and mistreated by her douchebag of a boss, and then after a plane crash they get stranded on an island where the tables are turned. If you haven’t seen the movie yet, we totally recommend it - it’s wild,...

Hey all, here’s another bonus episode, this time on the crazy new Apple TV show, Pluribus. Pluribus is the latest show from Breaking Bad creator, Vince Gilligan, who in our book is one of the all-time great TV creators. His writing is intelligent, meticulous, unexpected, and wry, and this show is wild. It’s very Twilight Zone-y. Creepy, thought provoking, thrilling, extremely odd in the best way,...
