The Garnet Wager Episode 75 – Season 6 Finale (TDPS1E11-E12)
I am going to spoil The Devil's Plan Season 1 right now. I am warning you, look away if you don't want to see a spoiler for the show. It's a high level spoiler but it is definitely a spoiler. We never even learned what the guy's freakin' plan was! What the hell! A big shoutout to our guest actors...
-
The Garnet Wager Episode 74 – Johncino Man (TDPS1E9-E10)
As we spin towards the end of The Devil's Plan, mysteries abound. Like, why did they pick this title for the show? Is it relevant at all? It certainly isn't so far! But there's cause for excitement with these eps, and hopefully JJK & crew can stick the landing. If you want to watch the closing...
-
The Garnet Wager Episode 73 – Strategy Not Tactics (Reprisal) (TDPS1E7-E8)
Revolution is in the air as everyone starts to turn on ORBIT's populist strategy... including ORBIT?! Prison changes people, a strange room nerfs the IQ of its occupants, and sometimes us older folks get up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom. The Devil's Plan is past the halfway…

The Garnet Wager Episode 72 – Avocado vs. Giraffe (TDPS1E5-E6)
Devil's Plan stock is rising! Probably. Six and Allen are certainly hotter on these eps, even if Nick is less confident. After a treacherous main match, Nick blows up with his frustrations at how the games are run, and then we all get to calm down with some nice guava and avocado for a special...
-
The Garnet Wager Episode 71 – The Curse of Netflix (TDPS1E3-E4)
The honeymoon is over. This time on The Garnet Wager, we watch two episodes of The Devil's Plan because we're desperate for material, there's infighting, there's bitterness. See what you've done to us, Netflix? Our artwork is a commission from the amazing Bitmap Prager! Please enjoy seeing...
-
The Garnet Wager Episode 70 – Loud Fanatic, Quiet Spy (TDPS1E2)
God was not willing. That was not quite the end of an era. But we went from four months down to two, and next we'll go from two to one! Mark my words. With episode 2, we conclude the first day of The Devil's Plan, and... hey wait. There is literally a character called The Devil. What do you think...
-
The Garnet Wager Episode 69 – We’re So Back (TDPS1E1)
God willing, this episode marks the end of an era. The era of these episodes taking FOREVER. We're planning to get on a more regular schedule- probably monthly, but no promises. Let's solve a mystery, gang. Let's watch a new show. Let's find out it's REALLY GOOD. We're so back. Our artwork is a...
-
The Garnet Wager Episode 68 – Where In the World (EE9CSD4)
Well, we were feeling a bit down on the show we'd chosen to watch last episode. But this time, we had a much better time! Turns out, a little time and a positive attitude is all you need! Meanwhile, in the tabletop game, Allen and Nick are closer than ever, but FEEL more lost than ever. How will...
-
The Garnet Wager Episode 67 – Nothing Happened (SG1E3)
On this episode of Society Game... well. Look above. You might get the picture. In wake of this, we resort to drastic measures to keep the episode discussion segment lively. But the mystery needs no such help. Our artwork is a commission from the amazing Bitmap Prager! Please enjoy seeing...
-
The Garnet Wager Episode 66 – The Terrible Salisbury Truth (SG1E2)
Well, see... NOW it's a season of The Garnet Wager. I (Six) may not be any hotter on the show we're covering than last time, but the plot threads are being woven. We're solving a murder. We're talking to (fictitious) government officials. And who could forget the semi-headless chicken. Our…

The Garnet Wager Episode 65 – One Communal Shampoo (SG1E1)
The Garnet Wager returns to extend its reach beyond the confines of the Genius for another season of Korean TV, meta-narratives, and garbage. This season, we're watching Society Game, a product of the same mind that brought us The Genius. It's a slow start for this show, but perhaps this one can...

Oops All Anime Episode 274 – The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, The Endless Eight
There are a lot of elements of Haruhi that loom large over culture. The characters. The dance. The nonlinear storytelling- well, of the anime, since the light novel doesn't do that. But there is one that is spoken of in dark tones: the Endless Eight. What if you essentially made the same episode…

The Garnet Wager Episode 64 – Season 5 Postmortem
We're about to take ourselves a break, having finished The Genius and our big silly story. But before we do, we just wanted to have one last chat. Not keeping kayfabe, just talking about making this ridiculous season of podcast. Our artwork is a commission from the amazing Bitmap Prager! Please...
-
The Garnet Wager Episode 63 – Finals (S4E12)
And so ends a very long journey. For the Genius and its contestants, for us, for the Bandage Man and friends. And enemies, too. A new journey will open before us err long. But for now, thanks for riding with us... to the end. There is no more The Genius. But there will be more The Garnet Wager.…

The Garnet Wager Episode 62 – How Much (S4E11)

-
The Garnet Wager Episode 61 – The Story So Far…
There are two episodes left of season 4 of The Genius, and of season 5 of The Garnet Wager. How did we get here? How did a show that started with a simple goal of fusing competition with show-watching become this meta-narrative nightmare? Let's rewind the clock. This is how we got from here... to...
-
The Garnet Wager Episode 60 – Cooperative Hold’em (S4E10)
The end approaches, for this season, for the Genius, for the stupid meta-narrative we've layered into the podcast this season. Player-invited guests bring us a dynamic and delightful main match of matchstick puzzles and poker, and then yet MORE poker in perhaps the most tense DM I've ever seen.…
more -
The Garnet Wager Episode 59 – Horror Race II (S4E9)
I guess I'm ok with main matches that are sequels to previous ones, but having the sequel in the SAME SEASON as the first iteration? That gets some side-eye from me. I mean, if you take our homework for instance, Unreal Tournament 2003 and 2004, those two games were a year and a half apart and…
more -
The Garnet Wager Episode 58 – Minus Auction II (S4E8)
We're back with more of The Genius! It's time for a reworked repeat game, both for Main Match and Death Match. We also talk about a forgotten cyberpunk classic in Strange Days, and talk about how a movie that was politically prescient in 1995 feels a bit dated in 2021. All this and more on this...
-
The Garnet Wager Episode 57 – Seed Poker (S4E7)
On The Genius, they're playing the king of card games: poker! Alliances are formed and crumble, and the cast spy pays the price. Here on the Wager, we're playing Dota, watching kdramas and spending gregnets. Then... regret. Only regret. If you want to play Fantasy Genius with us, we've got...
-
The Garnet Wager Episode 56 – Garnet Thief (S4E6)
When did this become the Kyunghoon show? I'm not complaining, I just didn't see it coming. Used to be he was just that kid who was too excited by the idea of betrayal that he couldn't think two moves ahead. We're all ready to see Jungmoon go home, and Nick made us watch a movie about geese....
-
The Garnet Wager Episode 55- Loyalists and Rebels (S4E5)
Betrayal in the House of Bandages! It's time to play Resistance, because this main match is just Resistance, y'all. Or Werewolf, or Mafia. Which is good! Except for when it isn't. We also watched That Thing You Do, and then we get into some Indian Poker. If you want to play Fantasy Genius with…

The Garnet Wager Episode 54 – Fish Shop (S4E4)
Squid, one dollar! Squid one dollar here! We're back with another episode of The Genius, and it's time to sell some fish! Unspoken heroes rise, with secret teams running the show. We also watched Silence of the Lambs, because Nick is just like that. If you want to play Fantasy Genius with us…

The Garnet Wager Episode 53 – Goldfinger II Bonus Ep
There are many types of apology in this world. Sincere or insincere. Non-apologies, where you redirect blame. Half apologies. But I come to you today to say, a full, proper, sincere apology. I'm sorry this episode turned out this way. Maybe some people will find enjoyment in this train wreck that...
-
The Garnet Wager Episode 52 – Today’s Menu (S4E3)
The Genius strikes back this week with one of if not THE best episodes of this show we've ever seen. Great Main Match, ASTONISHING Death Match, amazing character development. Twists and turns. And not just on the tv show... in our very midst as well! The Bandage Man answers back after last week's...
-
The Garnet Wager Episode 51 – Horror Race (S4E2)
Already, the appearance of The Garnet Cager has thrown our favorite fantasy game into chaos. Our main match, Horror Race, leaves our contestants dumbfounded, our own homework, Goldfinger, leaves us players shaking our heads, and a Tactical Yutnori death match merely piles onto the mess. If you…

The Garnet Wager Episode 49 – The Season 5 Draft
Allen, Nick, and Six return, under the watchful eye of the Bandage Man. There is more Genius to watch: one final season. Fantasy Genius rules are in full effect, and so we start like all good fantasy competitions: with a draft. But it is more than just a draft, of course, for where the Bandage…

The Garnet Wager Episode 46 – Prairie Cats and the Divine Sauce
This is not a normal episode of The Garnet Wager! We skipped last week because Nick was out of town. He got back this week, but he was still a little too swamped for a normal recording. But, we didn't want to put nothing out, so.... Six will be your GM, while Allen and Nick play the roles of…

The Garnet Wager Episode 45 – The Chicken Job (CS1E8)
We may be spread across this planet, with different languages and customs, but there's one language we all speak: fried chicken. And so when someone dares, in COLD BLOOD, to murder someone while they're enjoying a nice ten piece?! Well. I don't mind tellin you, it's more than I can bear. From…

The Garnet Wager Episode 44 – The Prison Murder (CS1E7)
The clink. The lock up. The big stinkover. People don't call it that, actually, that's fake. We're talking about JAIL. But in a fictional context so we don't have to talk about how broken and despicable the penal system of the United States is. But we mention it anyway. Whoops! When every suspect...

The Garnet Wager Episode 43 – The Seoul Office Murder (CS1E5&6)
The business world is a dangerous one. Competition is fierce, and everyone's out for themselves. But who knows? If you play your cards right, you might even make a killing... I said... a KILLING... because somebody gets murdered? in this show? Well, anyway. This week on Crime Scene, an actual...
-
The Garnet Wager Episode 42 – The English Schoolcrime (CS1E3&4)
This week, Six, Allen, and Nick are headed to the United Kingdom to discuss a crime most deadly… MURDER. I, uh. I think it’s going to be murder every week, actually. So maybe that’s not that remarkable. That said, you HAVE to be impressed by the rogue’s gallery of high school hoodlums and teenage...
-
The Garnet Wager Episode 41 – The First Crime (CS1E1&2)
Welcome to the scene of the crime. On this season, Six, Allen, and Nick will investigate Crime Scene, a murder mystery game show from South Korea. This is our first episode of the new season, so it’s a time for introductions: to hosts, to crimes, to players, to rules. How quickly will this cast...

The Garnet Wager Episode 40 – Season 3 Finale (S3E12)
There are garnets to be won. There are battles to be decided. Dongmin and Hyunmin clash, perhaps for the last time (All Stars? I legit don’t know) under three Death Matches to decide the winner of Season 3 of the Genius. Meanwhile, the Fantasy Genius battle between Six and Allen is settled, as…

The Garnet Wager Episode 38 – Chain Auction (S3E10)
What a long, strange journey it’s been to getting this episode published. Last week we took a break, and then this week, any number of scheduling issues, medical catastrophes, internet outages, and so much more have made this ep as late as it is. Well, anyway, we’re finally back talking about The...
-
The Garnet Wager Episode 37 – Middle Race (S3E9)
No, you’re not misreading… it’s Middle Race again. It’s the same Main Match from this SAME SEASON. They added and removed roles, they made some balance changes, it’s being played with guests, but it… it’s still Middle Race. But at least we’ve got a new DM to freshen things up! …Oh. We don’t have...

The Garnet Wager Episode 36 – Investment and Donation (S3E8)
Capitalism is the enemy and objective once again with this week’s episode of The Genius, as the contestants tackle investment and charity, and trying to maximize profits while avoiding seeming like a scumbag.

-
The Garnet Wager Episode 35 – Constellation Game (S3E7)
Finally! A good DM this season! It’s a shame it came paired with a less good Main Match, but, you have to take the good with the bad. It’s a good opportunity to talk about Dongmin, reflect on Sangmin, and wonder at what point teasing becomes bullying, and psychological pressure becomes cruelty....
