  • Squid Game season one comes to a fittingly gloomy end, with some intriguing teases for possible directions in season two, and Karen is here to talk it through with David and Jason.

    Thanks everyone for listening along with us, and we hope you found the show to be as worthwhile as we did. Keep us in your feed, as we plan to be back for Squid Game season two, which weā€™re hoping will drop sometime later this year.

  • In some ways a quieter episode here near the end, but in some ways more tense, emotional, and tragic than ever. As always, lots to talk about, and in particular we had an in-depth back-and-forth about the morality of Sang Woo. Join Jason, David, and Veronica as we talk it through.

  • Just went you thought s#!t couldnā€™t get any more real on Squid Game, it did this episode. Kinda turned into a prison movie. So brutal, and well-crafted, and thought provoking as always.

  • Weā€™re back to the real Squid Game show this episode, as are 93% of the players whoā€™ve decided itā€™s better to risk death than to stay in their miserable lives. Itā€™s a dark premise, but this episode was surprisingly light and funā€¦ you know, aside from all the shootings.
    Daphne joins David and Jason this week to talk it out!

  • 456 players winnowed down to just a few in these most recent, tension-filled episodes of the Squid-Game-based reality show, and we found it just as riveting (and at times, infuriating) to watch. Join Daphne, Jonathan, and Jason as we talk it through, and then join us later in the week for an episode on the season finale!

  • So interesting to have an episode set back in the normal world so early in the show, which seems like a strange choice, but itā€™s important to the story and David, Jason, and special guest Karen (yay!) are here to tell you why we think so.

    Stay tuned to the end if you want to hear a spoilery segment talking about how some of the events in this episode relate to later episodes.

  • The desperation builds in this first episode of this brilliant series. If youā€™re on the fence about whether the brutality of this show is too much, we hope to convince you that thereā€™s a lot of gold to be mined with this show, and also that though the brutality is an essential part of it, itā€™s only one part of what makes Squid Game stand out. Join Jason, David, and Veronica as we talk it through!
