Frequency: 1 episode/5d. Total Eps: 31

Squid Game is a brutal, profoundly disturbing, darkly funny, beautifully designed, superbly acted, intelligent, thrilling masterpiece, exploring themes of desperation, inequality, greed, morality, human nature, and survival. And also, it's really disturbing (did I mention that?).

It's easy to dismiss this show as shock porn, but there's depth, nuance, and heart to it, well worth exploring. Join us as we do just that.

You can join in and be a part of the discussion. Write to us or send a voice message to talk@podcastica.com - or leave a comment at our Facebook group at facebook.com/groups/podcastica - and we’ll respond on the podcast.

12: "One Lucky Day" (Squid Game S1E9)

Thursday, January 18, 2024 • Duration 01:41:34

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.

Huge thanks to Kirk Manley for illustrating and designing our amazing podcast art.

11: "Front Man" (Squid Game S1E8)

Thursday, January 11, 2024 • Duration 01:43:50

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.

2: "Hell" (Squid Game S1E2)

Wednesday, November 29, 2023 • Duration 01:52:22

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.

1: "Red Light, Green Light" (Squid Game S1E1)

Wednesday, November 22, 2023 • Duration 01:37:44

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!

Thursday, December 28, 2023 • Duration 01:44:38

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.

Wednesday, December 13, 2023 • Duration 01:44:04

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.

5: "The Man with the Umbrella" (Squid Game S1E3)

Tuesday, December 5, 2023 • Duration 01:34:37

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.
