Squid Game 'Cast

Tv EN ↓ 31 episodes

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.

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.

5: "The Man with the Umbrella" (Squid Game S1E3) 05.12.2023 1:36:36

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! We love reading, playing, and responding to your comments and thoughts about...

4: Squid Game: The Challenge S1E6-9 03.12.2023 1:57:47

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! We love reading, playing, and responding to your comments and thoughts about...

2: "Hell" (Squid Game S1E2) 29.11.2023 1:54:21

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. We love reading, play...

1: "Red Light, Green Light" (Squid Game S1E1) 22.11.2023 1:39:43

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!...
