We’re back on our nonsense as Yellowjackets returns to our screens with season three. Last season, we had a blast tracking the cannibalism that occurred in season two. And now, we’re back to keep track of what devious acts of eating take place in Yellowjackets season three. After all, cannibalism is the great “Will they or won’t they?” in this surreal series. As with last time, we’ll be keeping track of all things people eating on Yellowjackets. That includes whether cannibalism has happened in Yellowjackets season three, how likely more cannibalism is to happen, and who might be on the menu.
So, has cannibalism happened yet in Yellowjackets season three? Let’s sit down to dinner together and find out.
Yellowjackets Season 3, Episodes 1 & 2: No Cannibalism in Sight, Just Nibbles
After a very cannibalistic season two finale, Yellowjackets season three brought us a diet a little lighter on human flesh. Although Shauna did bite right into Mari, no actual consumption was involved. We’ll call that just a playful (or, in this case, scornful) nibble. Although, we do feel that this could foreshadow future Yellowjackets season three cannibalism that could see Shauna biting into Mari for real.
At the moment, though, it’s largely a diet of bunny rabbits and deer for our favorite team lost in the wilderness. Mari even tells Coach Ben, “We don’t do that anymore.” on the subject of cannibalism. Will such a pronouncement stand? Doubtful. But it’s nice they believe it for now.
Yellowjackets Season 3, Episode 3: We Eat Bats But No Humans
So far, the team is sticking to their guns on the no eating people thing. There’s not a whiff of cannibalism on Yellowjackets season three, episode three. Mari and Coach Ben to unadvisedly eat bats, but we guess you have to eat what you can eat when you can eat in on Yellowjackets… but for now, that’s not people.
Yellowjackets Season 3, Episode 4: Cannibalism Is Still Off the Table
There’s certainly a lot of spiritual cannibalism happening on Yellowjackets season three, episode four, as the team turns on one another trying to decide whether Coach Ben is innocent of attempted murder or not in the past timeline. But, for now, there’s no actual eating of people happening. In the present day, murder is on the hearts and minds of all the women, especially Tai and Van, and that could have led to some good old-fashioned Yellowjackets cannibalism. But no killing actually comes to pass.
More Cannibalism to Come on Yellowjackets Season 3
We bet there are many dubious dinners to come on Yellowjackets season three. It’s a crazy fairy tale, after all. And it turns out many fae fantasies involve some kind of consumption. It’s only a matter of time before (human) meat is back on the menu. And we are still waiting to see some cannibalism happen in Yellowjackets‘ present timeline. Well, will they? Or won’t they? We’ll keep you posted on how the cannibalism of Yellowjackets season three plays out.

LEGO announced a plethora of new sets for April, including a stunning recreation of the Beauty and the Beast Castle with everyone’s favorite characters as ten different minifigures and buildable characters. The set is quite large at 2,916 pieces. The LEGO Disney Beauty and the Beast Castle goes by set number 43263. LEGO has been doing big things recently, which for me includes things like announcing the upcoming release of official Bluey sets.
The castle is based on the animated version of Beauty and the Beast from 1991. I would say sorry Emma Watson, but she has too many minifigures as Hermoine Granger anyway. The LEGO rendition of the castle has four stories filled with different scenes from the movie. Iconic locations like the “Tale as Old as Time” ballroom and the mysterious west wing of the castle where the enchanted rose lies.
The set is chock-full of intricate details, such as the Beast‘s claw marks on a painting of himself as a prince like seen in the film. Additionally, in the dining room, the tablecloth rotates so new dishes can be delivered to Belle. Just like we see in the “Be Our Guest” musical number.
Of the 11 characters included in the set, five are minifigures, and the other six are buildable characters. Belle, the Beast, Gaston, LeFou, and Maurice are minifigures. Whereas Lumière, Fifi, Cogsworth, Mrs. Potts, Chip, and the dog Sultan are buildable figures.
LEGO Insiders will be able to buy the set before the general public from April 1 to April 3. A LEGO Insiders account is free, so make sure to create one for early access to this and other sets. The castle’s general release date is April 4, retailing for a steep $279.99. Expensive LEGO sets? That really is the tale as old as time.

From Netflix’s Glen Powell-led Hit Man to Keanu Reeves’s John Wick franchise, the “hitman genre” has enjoyed a renaissance in recent years. Now, a newcomer is in town: Old Guy, the latest from action-comedy veteran Simon West.
On the surface, Old Guy may sound like your run-of-the-mill heist flick. A contract killer finds himself the reluctant mentor of a much younger, bright-eyed protégé. Along the way, they develop an odd couple dynamic, defeat the bad guys, and boom—roll credits. But right off the bat, Old Guy is doing something a bit different.
If you, like me, missed the celebration of Cat Day in Japan this past Caturday Saturday, February 22–then you probably also missed the news about the newest trailer for Nyaight of the Living Cat.
I vaguely remember reading the first volume of the manga series that this anime adaptation is based off–a series created during the (real life) pandemic and thinking that an anime series would bring this unique and hilarious premise to the audiences that deserve it, in an animated form.
Stories about apocalypses–zombie apocalypses–are always in style, truly. Here in this anime adapataion of the manga based on the manga of the same name by Hawkman and Mecha-Roots, cats are the key factor in the cat-tastrophe of the end of the world!

What to Expect This Summer?
A new horror/comedy anime series about adorable threats in a post-apocalyptic world!
Look, we’re already living in actual apocalypse
, here’s an actual fictional one that won’t do me any more harm and will be entertaining off jump.
A virus spreads across the world, transforming all of humankind into cats. Those few survivors who remain human take refuge as they fight back against the feline horde. Kunagi, a man with no memory of his past yet a deep knowledge of cats, struggles to hold on with only his wits (barely) and a will to survive. Yet, the virus transmits merely through cuddles, and Kunagi finds all the newfound kitties so very hard to resist!
Beloved, I’m not going to lie: Nyaight of the Living Cat sounds silly as hell. Like Silly turned up to one hundred, and everyone knows that I am a silly person. I am looking forward to some silliness, some true comedy, and this upcoming anime that just might unite all the horror and cats fans across fandoms! I LOVE that OLM, the animation studio behind bringing the anime adaptation of my favorite The Apothecary Diaries is handling this project! The End is Nyaigh!
