“This is one of the hippest trips,” says Davidson, who has been pushing the boundaries of comedy since his days on In Living Color.
All appeared immensely proud of the work they have done. This Saturday, the second season premieres on Adult Swim with a nod to the mega-mini-series Roots.Įarlier this month, we met with Carl Jones, who writes, directs and executive produces the series, along with stars Michael Jai White (Black Dynamite), Kym Whitley (Honey Bee), Byron Minns (Bullhorn), and Tommy Davidson (Cream Corn).
#BLACK DYNAMITE SEASON 1 EPISODE 2 SERIES#
Here I am, hoping that my aunt doesn't serve any type of soup while I visit over the holidays coming up.Black Dynamite is back! Based on the cult film of the same name, Black Dynamite is part-parody, part-satire, an animated series that imparts smart social commentary by taking on some of the 1970s biggest pop culture cornerstones. Watching this, I got a familiar feeling that I've gotten when watching some drama unfold on Tik Tok or in public spaces because it's interesting and shocking to see behavior go sideways in others.
Finishing this episode, particularly with that insane last scene, I actually wanted to jump into the next one because I needed to follow their story further. Without that piece of their personalities and characteristics being pulled forward with them in present-day scenes, Yellowjackets would have a hard time keeping me interested. The other part of this episode I found to be so well done was the mannerisms matching so well between the teen and adult versions of characters, especially Misty (ex: the way she adjusts her glasses). Intentions of characters twist and turn in such unexpected ways, I loved that the most. We get introduced to people like Kevin, Natalie's old best friend, through legitimate ways when she visits town and talks at a bar with Misty. Subtle yet fascinating, a way to describe the drops of exposition and treats for the detailed viewer, Yellowjackets takes care of how the story unfolds but they don't hold my hand in any condescending way.

While Misty may have been a saving grace, with her first aid knowledge and all, she is proving to also be a secret threat both past and present. The ups and downs I went through watching Misty, from feeling sorry for her to deep concern over her manipulative side, kept me glued to the screen. The character of Misty, including the acting work of the teen and adult versions ( Samantha Hanratty and Christina Ricci), is fantastic. This episode of Yellowjackets offers insight into what went down during and post-crash while also flashing forward to the present day in the women's lives. If I told you that you see a woman running while on fire, a leg looking like a melted doll limb, sinister shit involving the plane's flight recording box, and plenty of other things mysteriously shady things going down in this episode you'd be concerned but hopefully intrigued.
