A GAME OF KILLER HIDE AND SEEK!! Squid Game Season 3 Full Reaction Watch Along: / thereelrejects Visit https://huel.com/rejects to get 15% off your order The FINAL Season is here & it's time for our Squid Game Season 3 Reaction, Recap, Breakdown, Commentary, Spoiler Review & ending explained!! Greg Alba & John Humphrey return to the dystopian playground in Netflix's final and explosive Squid Game season, with Episodes 1 & 2 premiering June 27, 2025. After the violent uprising of Season 2, Season 3 opens with Seong Gi‑hun (Lee Jung‑jae, Train to Busan), dubbed Player 456, wheeled back in via a coffin in a chilling first scene. Haunted by survivor's guilt, he's emotionally shattered and driven by the crushing need for justice and revenge. The two episodes thrust us into a deranged version of “Hide-and-Seek,” with red and blue teams battling for life, intensified by cold psychological stakes. Gi‑hun's fractured alliance with Dae-ho (Kang Ha‑neul, Forgotten, Midnight Runners) and the return of detective Jun-ho (Wi Ha‑joon, Money Heist, Something in the Rain) deepens the narrative. Jun-ho's quest continues as he searches for his brother, the enigmatic Front Man (Lee Byung‑hun, G.I. Joe, Masters of the Universe)—infiltrating both the games and the inner workings of the Institute. Standout moments include: Gi‑hun's silent breakdown and explosive confrontation with Dae‑ho, The grotesquely thrilling Hide-and-Seek game, Jun‑ho's investigative breakthrough and near-encounter with betrayals inside the Island's power structure, & more! Main cast stars include Lee Jung‑jae as Gi‑hun, Lee Byung‑hun as the Front Man, Wi Ha‑joon as Jun‑ho, Kang Ha‑neul's cunning Dae‑ho, Park Gyu‑young as No‑eul, Im Si‑wan, Park Sung‑hoon, Jo Yu‑ri, and more, bringing fresh tension and emotional arcs to the final season. This gritty, emotionally haunted premiere sets the tone for a savage descent into the games' conclusion. Join Greg & John as they unpack every twist, alliance, and horrifying moment in Squid Game's last season!

Today's episode, voted by our patrons is I Saw the Devil, the Korean revenge thriller/horror film. Synopsis I saw the Devil is a 2010 Korean thriller about Soo-hyeon (Lee Byung-hun), a grieving husband seeking revenge against his wife's killer (Choi Min-sik). Unlike most revenge films, this one is not about him finding the killer to bring them to justice, it's about tormenting and psychologically breaking a monstrous serial killer. It helps that the husband is basically Korean James Bond and has accrued plenty of PTO. Review of I Saw the Devil This is legit one of the best thrillers I have ever seen. It's well written, and it doesn't waste a minute of it's 2:24 runtime. It makes me miss the serial killer thrillers of the late nineties and 2000s. As with any thriller, people may argue whether or not it is a horror movie. I ignore these people, because they have too much time on their hands. and this is on letterboxes top 250 horror movies, so that's something. I will say if you are looking for disturbing and gory imagery, this film has it. I Saw the devil doesn't shy away from giving us the killer Jang Kyung-chul's perspective, which can be disturbingly voyeuristic and horrifying in its simplicity. The brutal confrontation scenes with the protagonist being a proto John Wick balances out the film with a sense of catharsis and perverse satisfaction of the killer getting his comeuppance. However, they come at a price. The film asks the viewer “can a man use evil against evil and come out unscathed?” . This is one of those movies that's so perfect in its concept and construction that it makes me wonder how it hasn't been done before. It's deceptively simple, but is actually an impressive balancing act of being disturbing, thrilling, funny, and ultimately satisfying. Score 10/10

From a Ken Doll in fatigues to "action figures" with kung fu grip to an afterschool cartoon and finally to... a live action theatrical release! It's 2009's G.I. JOE: RISE OF CORBA. The fictional President is nameless, but is he also faceless? (Well...technically, yes, in a way, but we'll get to that...) THE MUMMY'S Stephen Sommers directs a cast of literally thousands (of names). Every character (except for The President) has at least two names, some have three. It's needlessly complicated. But is the nefarious plan of Joseph Gordon-Levitt's The Doctor aka Cobra Commander aka Rexford "Rex" Lewis also needlessly complicated? (Yes, yes it is. Very much so.) Channing Tatum, Marlon Wayans, Rachel Nichols, Sienna Miller, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Dennis Quaid, Lee Byung-hun, Arnold Vosloo, Ray Park, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, and an uncredited Brendan Fraser star alongside Sir Jonathan Pryce as the faux potus.

Happy Monday, Goons! For our 3rd pick here on our Slashers Podcast Brutal Summer, Jason and Ade are joined by Lance to discuss 2010's South Korean bloody action thriller, I Saw the Devil, starring Old Boy, himself, Choi Min-Sik, and GI Joe's Lee Byung-hun. The film was directed by Kim Jee Woo, who you may know from the creepy A Tale of Two Sisters (way better than its remake, The Uninvited) and Arnold Schwarzenegger's The Last Stand. The film follows a secret agent who exacts revenge on his wife's killer. As Jason said, “It's not as bad as Inside. Or Oldboy. Think of it as a brutal Taken.” If you haven't seen this one yet, we highly recommend you watch before listening, as spoilers are peppered in throughout the entire episode. It is also featured on Shudder's AMC 101 Scariest Movie Moments, so it definitely hits hard.
