Why is Squid Game so popular? | October Premieres | My Name | Jirisan | The King's Affection
10/14/21 • 79 min
This month, we're back and labouring under the realisation that when you have a K-drama podcast, you have to watch the biggest global TV sensation in the history of K-dramas! I admit, we are not hating it, but we reserve the right to grumble! We also take a sidestep to talk about whether age affects how we enjoy actors, before jumping into October premieres.

Previous Episode
Squid Game: Episodes 4-6 | The Wild Yak
Saya and Anisa discuss the devastating developments and twisty turns in Episodes 4-6 of Squid Game, which is slowly killing us even as we can't stop watching. We discuss the show's brilliant takedown of neoliberal capitalism, how it implicates even the viewer, and what it has in common with Vincenzo (links to our Long Yaks about Vincenzo below). It's so metaphorical.
Other Episodes We Think You'll Like:
Episode 94 - Anisa and Paroma give their first impressions of Vincenzo
Episode 99 - Anisa and Paroma's final thoughts on Vincenzo, and its complex ideas about redemption and heroism
