THE END

SUCCESSION SENDOFF: "With Open Eyes"

<description>&lt;p&gt;We discuss Barry and Yellowjackets, two series about human darkness.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;05:17 Barry season 4, streaming on HBO Max, is reaching new, uncanny, glorious heights. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;29:51 Yellowjackets season 2, streaming on Showtime, doesn’t quite live up to all its promises, instead faltering and stalling to an unfortunate degree.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;45:02 Plus, mini grab bag time! A collection of TV and films we’ve been watching recently, including You Hurt My Feelings, Mrs. Davis, Somebody Somewhere, The Eight Mountains, and more.&lt;/p&gt;
