Welcome to Doomcoming, a Beyond Buffering podcast where hosts Jenny Owen Youngs and Kristin Russo cover Yellowjackets one episode at a time, spoiler free. It's the FINALE of Season 2 of Yellowjackets!!! We are making Hot PhenobarbiCocoa at Camp Lottie, burning down cabins in the wilderness, and surviving on a dinner of Roast Javi. Jeff is in cohoots with Walter. Coach Ben is moving into a tree. Saracusa is totally f****d. Teen Shauna is writing in her slam book in the attic. Not enough knives are dulled for a present day hunt. A LOT OF SAD THINGS HAPPEN THAT WE DON'T WANT TO WRITE ABOUT BUT WE ARE FORCED TO TALK ABOUT. It's time for Season 2, Episode 9: "Storytelling" ... which means it is also time to ready ourselves for SEASON 3 OF THIS WILD SHOW, premiering February 14th. Wow. We did it. Our episodes are spoiler-free, so you can watch along with us in real time if you haven't seen the series yet, and each episode will also include a segment at the end called "What's The Buzz" where we talk about some spoilery theories for those of you who have seen the whole first season and who might be as deep into Reddit as Jenny...

Welcome to Doomcoming, a Beyond Buffering podcast where hosts Jenny Owen Youngs and Kristin Russo cover Yellowjackets one episode at a time, spoiler free. We are burying many things this week, and perhaps most dangerous of all: OUR FEELINGS!

In the present we've got a musical, a goat named Bruce, and a snowy dance of glee between old pals who have a very grounded and healthy history together! It's time for Season 2, Episode 7: "Burial." Our episodes are spoiler-free, so you can watch along with us in real time if you haven't seen the series yet, and each episode will also include a segment at the end called "What's The Buzz" where we talk about some spoilery theories for those of you who have seen the whole first season and who might be as deep into Reddit as Jenny...

Buffering the Vampire Slayer was a favorite and Jenny and Kristin continue to delight us with their X-Files series. My wife and I recently finished the series, including the two 2010’s seasons. It is nice to go back to earlier seasons where there was still fun to experience.
