Squid Game 'Cast – Details, episodes & analysis

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 we’re hoping will drop sometime later this year.

In the meantime, check out some of our other podcasts at Podcastica.com. We cover other dark, intelligent shows like Yellowjackets, Handmaid’s Tale, The Last of Us, The Walking Dead, and lots more.

Red light!

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.

So interesting to have an episode set back in the normal world so early in the show, which seems like a strange choice, but it’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 you’re on the fence about whether the brutality of this show is too much, we hope to convince you that there’s a lot of gold to be mined with this show, and also that though the brutality is an essential part of it, it’s only one part of what makes Squid Game stand out. Join Jason, David, and Veronica as we talk it through!

It’s the infamous, brutal glass bridge this week. Talk about a f#%ed-up game. And the sleazy “VIPs” have arrived to watch alongside, you know…. us ;) Join David, Daphne, and Jason to talk it through.

Ooh, here’s maybe the best episode of Squid Game and just a standout episode of any TV show ever, in our estimation. Marbles anyone?

No one trusts anyone in this intriguing behind-the-scenes episode, as Jun-ho gets in deeper, finds out all about the depraved organa-harvesting operation, and learns more about the nature of the games and his brother’s relationship to them.

Just went you thought s#!t couldn’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.

Squid Game: The Challenge season 1 is done! Join Jonathan, Daphne, and Jason around our triangular dinner table as we go through the finale with all our thoughts. Plus we talk through the “making of” special with behind-the-scenes info on all the games and the series as a whole, some news with some updates from Ashley about the glass bridge game and Dylan about his conduct in the marbles game, and some great feedback from you guys. Then we cap it off with some intriguing questions from Daphne about how we’d conduct ourselves if we were contestants on Squid Game: The Challenge.

We’re back to the real Squid Game show this episode, as are 93% of the players who’ve decided it’s better to risk death than to stay in their miserable lives. It’s a dark premise, but this episode was surprisingly light and fun… you know, aside from all the shootings.
Daphne joins David and Jason this week to talk it out!
