And a Rewatch Podcast

Chels (@Chels725),  Sharai (@MissSharai), and Jesse (@speakupjesse)  are joined by Emmy nominee Alrinthea Carter (@Alrinthea) to recap the mystery on this season's Yellowjackets.

Our adults have fully Avengers Assembled at Lottie's compound and find themselves doing therapy and confronting some of the trauma of the wilderness. Shauna is tasked with mothering a baby goat, Misty takes a hallucinatory trip in the isolation tank, and Van and Tai are honest with each other. Meanwhile,  Lottie has a realization about her therapist that throws her for a loop, and the girls let loose at a bonfire.

Our teens, on the other hand, are going through it. With the blizzard calming down, the girls are digging themselves out of the cabin and Misty has them on a wild goose chase looking for Crystal. Van admits her fears to Tai, and Tai reveals to Lottie that she's stopped having visits from Other Tai since she's joined her little rituals. Plus, Coach Ben is talked off the ledge, and Shauna buries her baby and takes out her rage on one of her teammates.

It's family only as Chels (@Chels725), Sharai (@MissSharai), and Jesse (@speakupjesse) recap the mystery on this season of Yellowjackets.

It's the episode we've all been waiting for as Teen Shauna goes into labor. Akilah is forced to step up when Misty freezes, and Tai and Natalie support their friend. Lottie gets into her wilderness bag with Travis to "help" with the birth and things get very Rosemary's Baby.

Meanwhile, Adult Shauna and her daughter Callie are interrogated by the police, while Jeff receives an urgent call from Tai and Van about Lottie's whereabouts. Natalie is on the edge, forcing her new bestie Lisa to make her responsible, and our avengers finally assemble.

Plus, we get flashbacks to a useless Coach Ben teaching health class and Adult Misty is the queen bee of the commune.

Plus we make our very first Community connection (and there will be more to come, so stay tuned).

Join us as we journey through the first season with some of our friends in the coming months.

Chels (@Chels725), Sharai (@MissSharai), and Jesse (@speakupjesse) are joined by Doc J this week by to recap the mystery on this season of Yellowjackets.

Things are getting wild in both timelines, with Shauna's daughter finally discovering her new boyfriend is a policeman and Shauna having to throw him off her tracks. Tai reveals to Van that her sleepwalking has returned, and Van gets a visit from Other Tai. Misty and Walter track down Natalie, who turns them away... but that doesn't slow Misty down. Plus, Lottie takes Natalie on a trip.

Back in the woods, Lottie's mediation sessions cause a rift between Shauna and Tai, as Shauna fears she's losing Tai to Lottie's religion. Javi refuses to speak to the teens but gives Coach Ben an ominous message. Misty and Crystal shares secrets with each other, and Misty overshares. And an argument between Shauna and Tai leads to them getting lost in a snowstorm with Shauna going into labor!

Chels (@Chels725), Jesse (@speakupjesse), and Paige (@paigenkiser) are joined by AwardsWatch founder Erik Anderson (@awards_watch)  to cover the RuPaul's Drag Race finale.  It's actually Sasha Colby's Drag Race and we're all here to cheer!

The team breaks down a finale that felt more like a funeral with lackluster performances, behind-the-scenes injuries during production, and the worst of RuPaul's self-congratulatory tendencies. They give their thoughts on the finale looks, original songs, and critique the season as a whole. Plus, a little preview of All Stars 8!

Well, friends, this is it: the SERIES finale of Community. And while we plan to return for some extra bonus episodes about Community in the future (and whenever the movie debuts), this is the last main episode you'll hear for a while. So grab your tissues because we're headed back to Greendale for "Emotional Consequences of Broadcast Television"!

Jenn is joined by the person who got her into Community in the first place — Jaime (@elspunko) — and they unpack everyone's season seven pitches, emotional farewells, that final Jeff/Annie moment, our dismay/rage over the lack of Britta, and what the finale meant for everyone's characters.

We are so incredibly grateful you've spent the last few years listening to us dissect Greendale and all its characters for hours on end. We wouldn't be here without you. And we'll see you soon for more TV show recaps.

But until then... #andamovie

Chels (@Chels725) and Sharai (@MissSharai) are joined this week by Jamie (@glitterburrito) to recap the mystery on this season's Yellowjackets.

In the past, our teens are dealing with the consequences of their feast, with Teen Tai unable to remember what happened and Teen Natalie cleaning up the remains. Teen Lottie helps Shauna through her guilt and, with the help of the other girls, throws Shauna a baby shower to mixed results.

In the present day, Adult Tai is dealing with the ramifications of the car crash and Misty partners with Elijah Wood to investigate Natalie's kidnapping. Lottie makes Natalie participate in some of her healing classes, forcing Natalie to confront the woman she stabbed. Adult Shauna tries to work on her marriage but a carjacking brings out her inner beast, and we're left wondering what else she did in the woods.

Plus, the podcasting crew takes a quiz to figure out which Yellowjackets character they are.

Chels (@Chels725),  Jesse (@speakupjesse), and Paige (@paigenkiser) are joined by Eoin Daly (@EoinDaily) to cover last week's RuPaul's Drag Race.

It's the semifinals and Ru is threatening to eliminate one of our perfect final four queens. Keeping with the Rumix tradition, the queens have to write and record a verse to Ru's "Blame It On the Edit" and film an "out of this world" music video. Over on the runway, the theme is "drag excellence" with an epic lip sync to the finale. Plus, Tic-Tac chats and conversations with the queens' younger selves!

Chels (@Chels725) and Sharai (@MissSharai) are joined this week by Drag Race Rewatch co-host Jesse (@speakupjesse) and Joey Moser (@joeymoser83) to recap the mystery on this season's Yellowjackets.

Tai gets an unexpected visitor who brings Simone back into her orbit, while Misty makes a new friend. Natalie confronts our favorite cult leader about the night of Travis' death and her own kidnapping.

Meanwhile in the past, Teen Nat continues her power struggle with Lottie and tries to bring Travis peace. Our teens discover what Shauna has been doing in the woodshed with our poor deceased Jackie. They decide it's time to lay her to rest but fate intervenes, and the moment we've been waiting for since the beginning happens!

Yellowjackets is back which means recaps have debuted!

Chels (@Chels725) is joined by Community, Mythic Quest, and Drag Race rewatch recurring favorite Spooky Queen Sharai (@MissSharai) to recap this season's mystery.

Our favorite bifurcated timeline is back, and both young and adult versions of our characters are struggling. Young Shauna is still pregnant and cracking after Jackie's death, while Adult Shauna continues to cleanup her affair and murder. Both Adult and Teen Tai continues to hallucinate and break from reality, while Nat deals with Lottie's cult in two timelines.

Only our resident citizen detective Misty has her wits about her and discovers people are on their cases. Plus, we get our first inkling of cannibalism and wonder: Are we closer to discovering the identity of the Antler Queen?

The makeover challenge makes its return to the show after taking a season off and our queens are paired with wonderful teachers to try to create a drag family resemblance. Loosey wins the mini-challenge is gets to pair our girls but tries to sabotage a queen who called her generic. Does this sabotage work or do things backfire on Loosey?

Plus, special Secret Celebrity Drag Race winner and Hayley Kiyoko joins the judges' table, and some of the best emotional moments in the werkroom happen with our teachers. And for the first time in Drag Race herstory, one of our favorites is in the bottom!

Paige (@paigenkiser) has the night off as Chels (@Chels725) returns and joins Jesse (@speakupjesse) in his matinée era to cover this episode of RuPaul's Drag Race.

The queens step into Kevin Bacon's boots for a timely Wigloose: The Rusical all about drag being banned in a small town and the underground alliance that tries to defeat the bigots. While this episode was filmed last summer, the queens dive into the drag bans and other real threats that are currently happening. 

Over on the runway, our fringed country bumpkin Orville Peck joins our judges for an "everybody say glove"-themed runway, and the judges ask our queens the dreaded question: "Who should go home?" We conclude with a terrible lip sync to an incredible song, and we're left with our final five.

It's time for one last round of paintball in "Modern Espionage"!

Jenn is joined by longtime pal Matt (@Communiess) and new friend Joel (@joelkarnold) to unpack the spy homage the show chose for a final paintball game. They all talk about season six, how this paintball game stacks up against the others, whether the Jeff/Frankie story works, and ultimately which paintball homage they wish they could have participated in at Greendale.

Chels (@Chels725) is on vacation and things get chaotic as Spooky Queen Sharai Bohannon (@misssharai) joins Paige (@paigenkiser) and Jesse (@speakupjesse) to cover this episode of RuPaul's Drag Race.

Our queens are randomly sorted into comedy duos except Marcia, who is forced to perform solo by Salina. Our hosts question these comedy challenges and if there are any real winners. Things are still tense between our 2nd place queens Loosey and Luxx, as they are forced to navigate working as a pair while  Anetra is forced to power through her migraines. 

Over on the runway, Ali Wong joins our judges for a "Rip Her to Shreds" theme, and she gives our queens incredible comedic advice. Plus, a voguing mini-challenge that is sure to trigger Aja.
