| 4: Squid Game: The Challenge S1E6-9 | 03 Dec 2023 | 01:55:47 | |
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!

| 2: "Hell" (Squid Game S1E2) | 29 Nov 2023 | 01:52:21 | |
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) | 22 Nov 2023 | 01:37:43 | |
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! 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.

| 12: "One Lucky Day" (Squid Game S1E9) | 18 Jan 2024 | 01:41:33 | |
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.

| 11: "Front Man" (Squid Game S1E8) | 11 Jan 2024 | 01:43:49 | |
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.

| 5: "The Man with the Umbrella" (Squid Game S1E3) | 05 Dec 2023 | 01:34:36 | |
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!

| 17: "Six Legs" (Squid Game S2E4) | 15 Jan 2025 | 01:48:29 | |
Squid Game has always shown the juxtaposition between the childlike and the horrific, and the beautiful and the grotesque, but this season it’s also very much leaning into the intense and the goofy. Is that working? Join Veronica and Jason as we talk it out! Links:
