'Jessica Jones' Part 2: A.K.A. She Said "Smile"

The Popculty Podcast

In the second part of our Jessica Jones retrospective, sociologist/friend of the show Bethany digs into the series' queer subtext with me (#Trishica) and David Tennant as Kilgrave. We relive the life-giving season one finale (Jessica did that!) and the game-changing second season finale (Trish did that!). Special guest, author Reuben “Tihi” Hayslett, shares his own story about intimate partner violence in We Don’t Need Another Hero: How Netflix’s Jessica Jones Saved My Life.
Next time in our final JJ episode: Sallinger, Hellcat, and THAT series finale.
