Episode notes

Step back into the heart-pounding world of Squid Game as host Phil Yu (aka “Angry Asian Man”) and special guest Jonnie Park (aka “Dumbfoundead”) relive the most iconic moments from the first 3 episodes that started it all. From the unforgettable game of Red Light, Green Light to the nail-biting Dalgona challenge, they break down the intense cultural and emotional layers that made Squid Game so gripping. We also follow Player 456, Gi-hun, and unpack the significance of each player’s role in modern Korean society as they seek financial salvation in the deadly games.

Also, Phil and Jonnie face off in a high-stakes game of their own in the studio, and we call Phil’s mom who shares her strategies for winning.
