Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson have said from the start that Yellowjackets was partly inspired by Lord of the Flies, the tale of a bunch of young schoolboys stranded on an island after a plane crash, and how they managed. And now we have a brilliantly beautiful and disturbing new four-episode adaptation by the BBC (on Netflix in the U.S.), and so Kasi, Kara, and Jason are here to talk it through. Plus, we catch you up on some YJ news that’s happened since we last podcasted. For one thing, they’ve announced the final season will premiere on Friday, November 20! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
Mentioned:
- Lord of the Flies (1990) full movie on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7C54_fbAcIY
- Lord of the Flies novel (free downloadable PDF): https://lexiconic.net/english/LordoftheFlies.pdf
- Wax Episodic, our other podcast where we talk about a bunch of terrific shows, like Lanterns, Silo, Severance, Pluribus, Fallout, Welcome to Derry, and Alien: Earth: podcastica.com/podcasts/wax-episodic
Next up: Wendy, Daphne, Penny, and Jason will mostly likely be back at some point with a YJ catch-up episode, or if not that, then definitely for Yellowjackets S4E1(!). In the mean time, if you’d like to write in and connect:
