    12: "One Lucky Day" (Squid Game S1E9)
    Jan 18 2024
    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.

    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 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.

    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!
