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.TIMESTAMPSNEWS00:01:22 Why did Squid Game blow up?00:20:09 Does an actor's age affect how you feel about them?PREMIERES00:29:05 The King's Affection00:43:46 Reflection of you00:47:32 My Name00:53:29 Jirisan01:00:19 Would You Like a Cup of Coffee01:02:32 Crime Puzzle01:07:57 Chimaera01:12:54 Inspector KooOther Episodes We Think You'll Like:Episode 109 - Saya and Anisa review Episodes 1-3 of Squid Game and their brains explodeEpisode 110 - Saya and Anisa review Episodes 4-6 of Squid Game and their hearts are crushedLinks:Lee Tennant: Equality and Equity in Squid GameKfangurl's Squid Game reviewDear kfangurl: Why is Squid Game so popular?Join our newsletter for monthly updates and podcast episode roundups!Our Beloved Patrons:egads, Steven, Lia W., Hades, Gracefulegg, Divina, Saoirse10, MCG, Humbledaisy, Eunice Choi, Jojo, Rue, k8ekol, mindy, Liliana, Edyth, Marcia, unatuna, Dr. Chi, Lesley H, G.
