Hi. Where are the cast of Yellowjackets and we're apparently playing
Mash Libs.
- Have you played Mad Libs before?
- Uh huh. - Oh, no.
- Okay.
We're essentially going to play Mad Libs with the logline.
I'm going to ask you for a few words that I'm going to use
to replace words in the logline.
However I interview last is going to have to read the final one.
3,2, 1.
Yellowjackets is the saga of a team of wildly talented
high school girl soccer players who become the unlucky
survivors of a plane crash deep in the remote northern wilderness.
The series chronicles their descent from a complicated
but thriving team to savage clans while also tracking the lives
they've attempted to piece back together nearly 25 years later.
Proving that the past is never really past.
And what began out in the wilderness is far from over.

So this next one that you're about to read is the one
with all the random words in it making it a whole different logline.
- Oh, ok cool.
- I’ll read this one. - Yeah.
Yellowjackets is the saga of a chorus of swimmingly talented high school girls
netball volcanoes
who become the (un)lucky survivors of a puppy run deep in the remote hairy
dirty knickers. - (laughs)
- Yeah, that's good. - That's such a good point.
- I’d watch that. - Who chose the word knickers?
Yeah. - [Mark] That was Simone.
- Oh. - Makes sense.
Yeah, let's read that again.
But maybe use a different word
because it just could be interpreted many different ways
depending on who's listening.
What word should we use?
- Pants? - Pants. Great.
Yellowjackets is the saga of a chorus of swimmingly talented high school girls
netball volcanoes who become the unlucky survivors
of a puppy run deep in the remote hairy dirty pants.
The series chronicles their bat from a grotesque but staggering chorus
to lovely crescent wrench, while also skipping the knives
they’ve attempted to piece back together nearly 18 months later,
proving that Tom Selleck’s mustache is never really Tom Selleck’s mustache
and what began out in the dirty pants is far from over.
- Tom Selleck's mustache.
- Mustache.
We hear the wilderness and it hears us.
I feel like shit’s about to get a lot worse out here.
