What to Watch podcast: Buzzing about the Yellowjackets finale and the end(?) of The Expanse

This weekend's podcast also dives into Ray Donovan: The Movie, The Tragedy of Macbeth, and more.

The intense action comes to a head on the season finale of Yellowjackets, when the women go to their 25th high school reunion and try to heal after last week's twists and turns. Ray Donovan: The Movie star Kerris Dorsey previews the action, as the series officially concludes with this finale after the series was canceled in 2020. And The Expanse ends its six-season run...maybe. There are more books in the series, after all, but someone will have to save the show...again.

In movies, the fourth and final Hotel Transylvania movie, Tranformania, debuts on streaming — plus trivia about the first movie's director Genndy Tartakovsky; and Denzel Washington and Frances McDormand star in Joel Coen's take on Shakespeare with The Tragedy of Macbeth.

Plus, entertainment headlines — including news about a potential Quantum Leap revival and a new Degrassi series in the works. In our Soundbite of the Week, Jimmy Kimmel's emotional tribute to Bob Saget, who died Jan. 9.
