Speaker 1 (00:03):
Calarogus Shark Media. Welcome back to TV in the Basement,
where we dive deep into the hottest shows on television.
I'm your host, Journey Joe Mitchell, and today, folks, we're
charging back into Yellowstone season four. And if you thought
that season three finale left you breathless, well, this season's
got more kickback than a double barrel shotgun. After that

(00:26):
explosive ending that had us all clutching our pearls or
our bolo ties, season four opens with the kind of
revenge tour that would make John Wick say, WHOA take
it easy there, Pardner. The first two episodes are like
watching a tornado made of bullets, horses, and cowboy hats
tear through Montana, and folks, it is glorious. Now, let's
talk about our new players, because this season's got more

(00:48):
fresh faces than a rodeo beauty pageant. Enter Caroline Warner
played by Jackie Weaver, who makes previous Market Equities villains
look like they were playing in the minor leagues. This
woman's got the kind of smile that makes Shark swim
in the opposite direction, and when she goes toe to
toe with Beth, it's like watching two grizzlies fight over
the last salmon in the stream. Speaking of Beth Dutton,

(01:11):
Kelly Riley continues to be the human equivalent of a
lightning strike. This season, our favorite corporate killer gets a
new job that's got more strings attached than a puppet factory.
Watching Beth try to play nice in the corporate world
while plotting total destruction is like watching a wolf in
sheep's clothing if the wolf was wearing lubutans and had
a vocabulary that could peel paint off a barn. And

(01:33):
then there's Summer Higgins Piper Pirabo, our environmental activist who
catches John Dutton's eye faster than a rustler catches a bullet. Folks,
watching this city slicker try to navigate ranch life is
like watching a vegetarian at a barbecue competition. Uncomfortable, but
you can't look away. This season also gives us more
Rip and Beth domestic life than ever before, and let

(01:55):
me tell you, it's like watching two tornadoes try to
share a trailer. Cole Hauser and Kelly Riley continue to
have the kind of chemistry that should come with a
warning label from the FDA. Their scenes together are sweeter
than maple syrup and harder than ranch coffee. Meanwhile, Case
Dutton goes on a vision quest that's trippier than a
calf after its first rodeo, Luke Grimes takes us on

(02:16):
a journey that's part Dances with Wolves, part the Doors,
and all Montana mysticism. It's the kind of storyline that'll
have you questioning everything you thought you knew about this character.
Jimmy's journey to the six six sixty six Ranch that's
four sixes for you, city folk is like watching a
fish learn to climb a tree, painful, hilarious, and somehow inspiring.

(02:39):
Jefferson White turns our favorite screw up into something special
this season, even if he has to break every bone
in his body to do it. But the real MVP
this season might just be Lloyd. Now, folks, I won't
spoil it, but our favorite old timer goes through more
drama than a teenager's Instagram account. When the bunk House
drama kicks off, it's like watching West Side Story with

(02:59):
more horses and fewer dance numbers. Now, some folks are
saying this season's got more plot lines than a corn maze.
In October and you know what, They're not wrong. But
when the maze is this entertaining, who's counting turns between
market equities, protesters, tribal politics, ranch drama, and enough family
issues to keep a therapy practice in business for decades.

(03:20):
There's never a dull moment. And can we talk about
that Thanksgiving dinner scene. It's like someone took every awkward
family holiday you've ever had, added firearms, and sprinkled in
some Montana spice. It's the kind of scene that makes
you grateful for your own family's relatively normal dysfunction. John
Dutton continues his evolution from rancher to politician, and watching

(03:42):
Kevin Costner play this transformation is like watching a grizzly
bear try to learn table manners. Fascinating, terrifying, and occasionally hilarious.
The scene where he has to film a campaign commercial,
Pure Gold, Folks, Pure Gold. The season builds to a
finale that's more complex than a cattle drive through a mindfeld.
Unlike previous season's explosive endings, this one's more like watching

(04:05):
storm clouds gather. You know something bad's coming, but you're
not quite sure where the lightning's going to strike. What
makes Season four special is how it expands the show's
universe while keeping its boots firmly planted in Montana soil.
We're getting glimpses of other ranches, other ways of life,
but at its heart, this is still a show about
family land and the lengths people will go to protect both.

(04:27):
The cinematography continues to make Montana look better than a
supermodel at sunset. There's this one shot of the ranch
at dawn that'll make you want to mortgage your house
and buy a pair of chaps, until you remember that
in the Yellowstone Universe, ranch life is about as peaceful
as a rattlesnake in a rocking chair. So what's the
verdict on season four? It's like the show took a

(04:48):
deep breath after the chaos of season three and decided
to play the long game. It might not have the
same rapid fire intensity as previous seasons, but it's got
more layers than a winter outfit in Montana's all for
this extended episode of TV in the basement Until next time,
Keep your coffee hot, your revenge cold, and your brand
iron ready.
