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. 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. We’re Podcastica and we’ve been doing episode-by-episode deep dives into amazing TV shows for over a decade now. Check out our other fare at Podcastica.com. Green light!

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!
