The Watchers

Hi Hello! Welcome to the first official episode of our New Jersey TV-focused podcast, The Watchers. To kick things off, we'll be watching Showtime's hit series, Yellowjackets. Season 2 premiers in just a few days, so we figured now might be a good time to recap season 1 and start thinking about what's coming up for season 2. This episode isn't intended to be a replacement for season 1, so if you haven't watched, go do that, and then meet us back here.

In this episode you'll get to know your hosts, Jodie and Andrea. We break down the biggest questions and concerns of season 1. We give a rundown of the star players on the soccer team, and all their various entanglements. We talk a lot about 90s nostalgia, queer womanhood, impeccable needledrops, and what it is about this show that screams Jersey to us.

If you're reading this, that means you've probably got your podcatcher of choice open right now. It would be SO helpful if you gave our little new show a follow. If you like what you hear, you could even leave us a review. ☺️

We'll see you next Tuesday for Season 2, Episode 1 of Yellowjackets. (Can you believe it's almost here???)

Welcome to The Watchers! We're Jodie and Andrea, two women from opposite ends of New Jersey, and we're here to watch TV about New Jersey. We're kicking things off with season 2 of the Showtime series Yellowjackets, a show about what happened to a New Jersey high school girl’s soccer team who spent 19 months in the Canadian wilderness when their plane crashed there in 1996. If you haven't watched season 1, you'll definitely want to do that before you join us over here.

Our first official episode will be our season 1 recap next week, but today we're introducing ourselves by reviewing the most recent season 2 trailer and the incredible cover that accompanies it, Florence + The Machine's take on No Doubt's "Just a Girl."

Watch the Trailer.

Listen to the cover.
