In this episode of Queers These Days, my dear friend Charis is back to take a deep dive into the wild world of Yellowjackets, exploring the show’s rich character arcs, queerness, and themes of survival, violence, and identity. From the raw realism of teenage girlhood to the eerie symbolism of the cabin, we unpack how the series blends horror with intimacy and power with vulnerability.

We discuss the evolution (and disappointments) of characters like Lottie and Shauna, the show's appeal to queer audiences, and the shifting power dynamics in life-or-death scenarios. The conversation is playful and profound, touching on shrooms, sacrifices, Greek mythology, and media recommendations.

This episode also celebrates Lesbian Visibility Week and the importance of uplifting minority voices in storytelling—especially when it comes to messy, magical, complex queer characters. With expectations high for Season 4, we reflect on loose ends, teen trauma, healing, and what it means to survive.
