Squid Game "Cast

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.

2025/11/08

Hey all, here’s another bonus episode, this time on the crazy new Apple TV show, Pluribus.Pluribus is the latest show from Breaking Bad creator, Vince Gilligan, who in our book is one of the all-time great TV creators.
