Hey there, fellow Yellowjackets enthusiasts! We hope you've strapped yourself in tight because we are about to take you on a wild ride with our season 2 finale deep dive!

The Antler Queens are back, baby! Can we get a heck yeah?!Now, hold your horses, because we have a little surprise for you. Despite my fierce determination to avoid a permanent co-host, I stumbled upon someone too awesome to resist. Who could it be? Well, you'll have to catch the episode to uncover this mystery!Let's talk about this finale, shall we? It was a love-hate relationship for us, folks. Kelly is still nursing her broken heart after losing her beloved Yellowjacket, and let's be real, the adult timeline could have used a pinch more excitement this season. However, fear not! The teen timeline brought the heat and left us on the edge of our seats in this episode!Oh, Van, Van, Van. Your points were solid, my friend, but maybe work on your delivery a smidge, yeah? And Lottie, oh my goodness, what on earth happened to our calm golden goddess? How did she transform back into this manic whirlwind? Is it supernatural mischief or simply the weight of her trauma and mental illness? We've got questions, people!Sigh Natalie, oh sweet Natalie, you were too pure for this cruel world. Why is it that Officer Douchebag still roams among the living while you were taken from us? We've got a bone to pick on that issue. But hey, let's give props to Natalie for saving Lisa. Silver linings, folks!So, what's in store for the future? Hold on tight because we've got monthly live chats lined up on our YouTube channel, and we're not stopping there! Bi-monthly to monthly deep dives, anyone? You definitely don't want to miss out on the shenanigans. So make sure you're subscribed because the fun never ends!

The Antler Queens is expanding, and I'm excited to bring you the first of our additional shows: Cruel Summer Camp! My co-host Pamela and I will be covering season 2 of the Freeform series Cruel Summer. Once the season is over, we're going to go back and cover season 1. It's an anthology series, so you don't need to watch season 1 before diving into season 2. If you enjoy puzzle box type shows, this is a fun one with lots of intrigue, 90s nostalgia, and angsty teen drama. Sign up for Cruel Summer Camp today! Camp Counselors Kelly and Pamela can't wait to see you! (There is a separate podcast for Cruel Summer Camp, so please look for it on your favorite podcast app; however, we will include the first handful of episodes on The Antler Queens Podcast so you all know what we're up to. :))

Special thanks to our patrons, including our new patron Julian and Honorary Antler Queens Courtney and Jade!    My guest this week is the Queen Bee of Yellowjackets content, Kelly McClure.   We talked all about the evolution of female and LGBTQ+ characters, and growing up in the 90s. We were both in high school at the same time as the class of 96, so prepare for a lot of 90s nostalgia!   Kelly McClure is Salon's Nights and Weekends editor, and her work has been featured in Vulture, The A.V. Club, Vanity Fair, Cosmopolitan, Nylon, Vice (where she became the first official music editor), my personal favorite, BUST (where she also worked as the music editor), and many other publications. In 2022 she started her own publishing imprint, WolfieVibes Publications, and released her debut novella, Something Is Always Happening Somewhere in May of 2022. It’s described as a visceral tale of grief with horror elements. She wrote a fantastic article titled “Yellowjackets is gay as hell. Why that’s just what we needed right now” which plays into what we talked about in this episode.

We all know some unusual *#$% went down in the wilderness with our beloved Yellowjackets. We've also seen some of that unusual *#$% happening in the other timelines as well. But are there logical explanations for everything? Or are supernatural forces at work? Maybe a little bit of both? My guest Lexi and I sorted through it all in this week's episode.

This will be a much different episode. TRIGGER WARNING for description of sexual assault within the episode   It's taken us a bit longer than anticipated to bring you a new episode. Much of that is due to our mourning and outrage over the decision to overturn Roe vs. Wade. Frankly, it's been difficult to focus on our lives lately while we're living in such a frightening time. We thought it would be helpful to discuss our feelings about the war on women as hosts of a channel that covers a female-centric television show. We've got more content coming your way very soon, so hang tight, and let us know your thoughts on this episode and please keep it polite!   Love to you all, Kelly and Melanie

Kelly and Melanie recap and discuss Yellowjackets Season 1, Episode 10: Sic Transit Gloria Mundi On the night of their 25-year reunion, the Yellowjackets navigate damning evidence, false alibis and a dubious attempt to heal. In the wilderness, the Doomcoming fallout finds everything firmly off the rails as resentments come to a head. That's a wrap on season one recaps, but we will continue to release new episodes on a less frequent basis until season 2 starts, so please keep an eye on our social media. We've got some super fun interactive stuff planned, so stay tuned to see how you can join us in the fun!
