About this episode
The hosts discuss the final episode of Squid Game, reflecting on its ending and future coverage possibilities.
Here it is, our take on the final episode of this incredible series. It wasn’t as triumphant of an ending as we might’ve hoped, but there are some silver linings in there. Join Veronica, David, and Jason as we talk it out. Thanks so much to all of you who listened along with us. We appreciate it! If you’re looking for something to watch (and a podcast to go along with it), we hope you’ll check out the upcoming Alien series, Alien: Earth, premiering on FX on August 12, and then listen to Jason and friends covering it in-depth on the Wax Episodic podcast. You can find that anywhere you get podcasts, or at waxepisodic.com. Cheers! Squid Game: The Challenge season 2 premieres in November, and we may be back to cover that, or any spinoffs, sequels, or Squid Game reboots. Let us know if you guys want more coverage.
