Dave and Justin discuss Squid Game the #1 show on Netflix this week. Here’s the official synopsis: Hundreds of cash-strapped contestants accept an invitation to compete in children's games for a tempting prize, but the stakes are deadly. Ashley joins the lads this week to explain why the protagonist of this show is in fact a good guy, and why Korean street food is da bomb. Dave finds himself dolling out life advice from a bathroom stall for people drinking nose blood. Justin really liked this show, even though the bad guys look like Teletubbies. Oh, and Justin and Ashley would totally trample Dave’s dead body if they ever got the chance to play the deadly version of Red Light/Green light IRL.

Justin's synopsis of Squid Game: Imagine a world in which the Teletubbies ran an underground gladiatorial arena where disenfranchised people and terminal cancer patients battle to the death in order to win confusingly large sums of money. It’s like bum fights for kids crossed with a technicolor version of the holocaust. Sounds awful right? Nope. It’s compelling and captivating and I don’t understand why.
