Squid Game is back! Season two of the worldwide phenomenon has dropped, and I'm pleased to share that I'm back as host of Squid Game: The Official Podcast, from Netflix and Mash-Up Americans. Join me and co-host Kiera Please as we suit up and dive into each episode of Squid Game season two. Along with a lineup of special guests, we'll unpack the deadly new challenges, explore the layered characters, and debate the moral dilemmas that will leave you questioning everything.
Spoiler alert! Make sure you watch Squid Game Season 2 Episode 4 before listening on.
In episode four, alliances are formed as players are thrown into their first team game. Kiera and I unpack the heart-pounding moments as Gi-hun reluctantly steps into the role of leader as the players face a grueling six-legged pentathlon that demands far more than brute strength to survive. Meanwhile, Pink Guard 011 grapples with her own complex morality, further blurring the lines between mercy and brutality. We'll explore the unexpected strength of the "misfits" team, while Detective Jun-ho's rescue mission takes a darker turn. It all raises the pressing question: How far up the chain of command do the games truly go? Finally, Kiera and I try our hand at Gonggi, a classic Korean schoolyard game inspired by this episode, and my mom joins in to share her take on Season 2!
