Podcasts about Squid Game

It's our final Breakfast All Day episode of 2025! And we have some great stuff and some not-so great stuff for you as we wrap up the year. All of these movies will be in theaters on Christmas Day: MARTY SUPREME. Timothée Chalamet gives an electrifying performance as a 1950s table tennis phenom. We both loved the film from writer and co-director Josh Safdie, which has the kind of kinetic, propulsive energy we've come to expect from the Safdie brothers as a whole. Gwyneth Paltrow and Odessa A'zion co-star. ANACONDA (2025). Our good friend William Bibbiani -- you know him as Bibbs -- has seen every single "Anaconda" movie. So he was the perfect person to help review this so-so reboot/remake/whatever you want to call it starring Paul Rudd and Jack Black as aspiring filmmakers in the Amazon. NO OTHER CHOICE. The great Korean director Park Chan-wook is back with another stylish and twisty thriller. "Squid Game" star Lee Byung-hun plays a middle manager who gets fired, then schemes to take out the competition for other jobs. Based on the Donald E. Westlake novel "The Ax." We loved it. Thank you so much for spending the year with us -- we're so grateful for our community. Keep an eye out for our best/worst lists at the start of January. Can't wait to see you in 2026!

Passend zum Heimkinorelease von THE LONG WALK sprechen Phil und René heute über ein ganz spezielles Subgenre: Filme & Serien rund um die Prämisse von Todesspielen. Also Filme wie BATTLE ROYALE, DIE TRIBUTE VON PANEM oder auch Serien wie ALICE IN BORDERLAND und SQUID GAME. Gemeinsam beleuchten Sie, was die Faszination dieses Genre ausmacht, welche High- und Lowlights Ihnen dazu einfallen und eventuell ist sogar der ein oder andere kleine Geheimtipp bei. Und zum Abschluss geht es natürlich auch um das Titelthema: THE LONG WALK. Regisseur Francis Lawrence hat mit der DIE TRIBUTE VON PANEM - Reihe scheinbar noch nicht genug von sterbenden Teenagern und inszeniert deshalb auch die Verfilmung des Stephen King Romans TODESMARSCH.Ob uns der Film überzeugen konnte und was er eventuell anders macht, als viele seiner Genrevertreter erfahrt Ihr in der aktuellen Episode von RUHE IM SAAL! ——

Lee Byung-Hun joins Nerdtropolis Mayor Sean Tajipour on Reel Insights to dive into the raw, gripping layers of No Other Choice — a tense character study where fear, pride, and desperation collide as one man spirals after losing the career that defined him.Lee opens up about the emotionally charged physicality behind his performance as Man-su — the shaking hands, the subtle gestures, and the nervous tics that make the character feel painfully real. He explains how those moments emerged from a blend of what was scripted, new direction from Park Chan-wook on set, and the emotions that surfaced naturally in the middle of each scene.He also reflects on the global rise of Korean cinema, sharing why audiences around the world connect so deeply with these stories. According to Lee, it's the universality of the themes paired with the unpredictability of Korean storytelling — a combination that keeps viewers hooked no matter where they're from.No Other Choice releases in theaters on December 25.Visit ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Nerdtropolis.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠

Jay-Z clearly never saw Squid Game or Get Out in 2010 or he would have mentioned Young Hee

For decades, America told its young strivers that the path to economic security ran through degrees, credentials, and a foothold in the professional class. But as housing costs climb and career ladders shrink, even the “successful” are finding the old promise slipping away.John Carney, economics editor at Breitbart, joins Oren to unpack why today's economy feels like a winner-take-all contest and why rising productivity—not rising population—must anchor America's next stage of growth. They explore the collapse of old economic assumptions and narratives, the emergence of a new economic paradigm, and what it will take to rebuild broad-based prosperity.Further Reading: "Zohran's Park Slope Populists" by John Carney.

Det er forskjell på realityprogrammer, men Squid Game er best.

Survival isn't just for dystopian dramas. The best B2B marketing strategies demand experimentation, curiosity, and the ability to outlast weaker ideas.That's the lesson of Squid Game, the global phenomenon where only the strongest contestants made it through each round. In this episode, we explore its marketing parallels with the help of our special guest Scott Leatherman, Chief Marketing Officer at Aviatrix.Together, we uncover what B2B marketers can learn from gamifying campaigns to pull audiences in, running multiple “Squid Games” to see which campaigns win, and staying relentlessly curious by listening to what customers really say.About our guest, Scott LeathermanScott Leatherman is an award-winning full-stack marketing and operations executive with 25+ years of leadership and business management experience. Scott is currently the Chief Marketing Officer at Aviatrix. Prior to joining Aviatrix, he was the CMO at Veritone, an AI platform company. Scott served as COO at SAP Labs US for 5 years. Scott was a Global Vice President of Marketing and was a founding member of the SAP HANA go-to-market team that disrupted the database market and built a billion-dollar business in less than three years. Also during Scott's tenure at SAP he was part of the Strategic Account Sales Team and created new channel programs to reduce shelfware and support new solution adoption. Prior to SAP, Scott held senior marketing and business development roles at several startups.Scott was recognized by the Silicon Valley Business Journal for his lifelong commitment to helping his local community with the 2018 Individual Community Champion Award. Both at work and in his personal life, Scott is focused on helping communities reduce food insecurities, supporting underserved children, funding cancer research and Native American educational programs.What B2B Companies Can Learn From Squid Game:Gamify campaigns to move your audience. Marketing works best when it pulls people in emotionally, just like Squid Game. Scott explains, “Anytime you want to move an audience together, gamifying it so that they have an emotional pull on the winner is gonna make you successful.” By creating campaigns that feel participatory, competitive, or playful, brands can inspire curiosity and investment from their audience. It's not just messaging—it's making people feel like they have a stake in the outcome.Run “Squid Games” for your campaigns. Rather than guessing which message will resonate, Scott's team tested multiple campaign “games” at once. “We invested over 500 engagements…we had 74 one-on-one engagements…to narrow it down to what we have as eight campaigns in the Squid Games.” Each campaign has a top, middle, and bottom funnel component, and their performance is tracked side by side. Scott explains, “The gamification of Squid Games is working in our B2B marketing approach…we rolled it out to the company as Squid Games…and it's been really fun to have engineers across the world leaning in on what they think is gonna move the audience fastest.” The lesson: treat campaigns like contestants. Test widely, kill off the weak performers quickly, and double down on what wins.Stay curious and listen to your audience. One of Scott's biggest lessons is that marketers often assume they know what works—but data and customer feedback may prove otherwise. He notes, “It really comes back to just what are your customers saying about you? And what are your prospects saying about you?…That listening exercise, while it sounds remedial and 101, it gets lost on a lot of us ‘cause we're all running so fast.” Just like in Squid Game, survival depends on paying close attention and adapting quickly. In B2B marketing, curiosity and active listening turn campaigns into insights, and insights into growth.Quote“The gamification of Squid Games is working in our B2B marketing approach…we rolled it out to the company as Squid Games…and it's been really fun to have engineers across the world leaning in on what they think is gonna move the audience fastest.”Time Stamps[00:55] Meet Scott Leatherman, Chief Marketing Officer at Aviatrix[01:32] Why Squid Game?[03:08] Behind-the-Scenes of Squid Game[14:18] AI in Marketing[17:33] B2B Marketing Takeaways from Squid Game[42:39] AI Integration and Brand Evolution[46:46] Final Thoughts and TakeawaysLinksConnect with Scott on LinkedInLearn more about AviatrixAbout Remarkable!Remarkable! is created by the team at Caspian Studios, the premier B2B Podcast-as-a-Service company.

Tara Erickson & Roxy Striar react to Train to Busan (2016), the acclaimed Korean zombie horror thriller directed by Yeon Sang-ho (Seoul Station, Peninsula). The film stars Gong Yoo (Squid Game, The Silent Sea) as Seok-woo, a father traveling with his daughter Soo-an (Kim Su-an – A Little Princess) on a high-speed train to Busan when a sudden viral outbreak unleashes chaos. Along the way, they join other passengers fighting to survive, including fan-favorite Ma Dong-seok (Don Lee – The Roundup, Eternals) as tough yet big-hearted Sang-hwa, Jung Yu-mi (Kim Ji-young: Born 1982) as his pregnant wife Seong-kyeong, and Choi Woo-shik (Parasite) as a young baseball player. Kim Eui-sung (The King) rounds out the cast as the ruthless CEO Yon-suk. Iconic moments include the train station outbreak, Ma Dong-seok's heroic fight scenes, the dark tunnel battles, and the tear-jerking finale that made the movie a global sensation. Blending adrenaline, heart, and humanity, Train to Busan remains one of the most powerful and emotional zombie films ever made — a modern classic that transcends its genre. ollow Roxy Striar YouTube:⁠https://www.youtube.com/@TheWhirlGirls⁠ Instagram:⁠ ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/roxystriar/?hl=en⁠ Twitter:  ⁠https://twitter.com/roxystriar⁠ Follow Tara Erickson: Youtube:⁠ https://www.youtube.com/@TaraErickson⁠ Instagram: ⁠ https://www.instagram.com/taraerickson/⁠ Twitter: ⁠ https://twitter.com/thetaraerickson⁠ Intense Suspense by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. ⁠https://creativecommons.org/licenses/...⁠ Support The Channel By Getting Some REEL REJECTS Apparel! ⁠https://www.rejectnationshop.com/⁠ Follow Us On Socials:  Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/reelrejects/⁠  Tik-Tok: ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@reelrejects?lang=en⁠ Twitter: ⁠https://x.com/reelrejects⁠ Facebook: ⁠https://www.facebook.com/TheReelRejects/⁠ Music Used In Ad:  Hat the Jazz by Twin Musicom is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. ⁠https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/⁠ Happy Alley by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. ⁠https://creativecommons.org/licenses/...⁠ POWERED BY @GFUEL Visit⁠ https://gfuel.ly/3wD5Ygo⁠ and use code REJECTNATION for 20% off select tubs!!

The Dutch courts finally did something useful: they told Meta to quit force-feeding algorithmic slop to everyone, so Facebook and Instagram users might actually see posts from friends again—if they can remember who those are. Meanwhile, OpenAI's Sora 2 rollout is the kind of chaos that makes you wonder if the company replaced QA with a TikTok filter, as outrage videos flood the internet faster than you can say “deepfake meltdown.” Apple banned ICEBlock for being too effective while ICE now wants its own social media surveillance tool—one that OpenAI shut down when Chinese accounts tried to build it. California's hammering Tesla for its abysmal insurance claims handling, OpenAI is gobbling up chunks of AMD, and consultants got caught using ChatGPT to fake reports before proudly partnering with Anthropic, who just landed Deloitte as its latest “enterprise AI” victim. Elsewhere in this circus: a Florida teen asked ChatGPT how to kill his friend, Taylor Swift fans are furious her new promo video used AI slop (“too rich to be this cheap”), and Apple's “Find My” led cops to a mountain of smuggled iPhones.In Media Candy, Brian's stunned The Diplomat scored a third season, The Long Walk is being pitched as Stand By Me meets Squid Game, California finally bans loud streaming commercials, and Amazon censored Bond posters to remove guns because apparently irony is dead. AI “musicians” are signing record deals while Zelda Williams begs people to stop resurrecting her dad with deepfake garbage. In Apps & Doodads, Jony Ive's OpenAI gadget is delayed (good), Rivian insists we'll “appreciate” not having CarPlay (we won't), Spotify and ChatGPT are teaming up to read your soul through playlists, and Jason warns everyone that the Echo Show is basically an ad-spewing parasite. Apple's now facing a cybercrime probe in France for Siri's wiretapping habits, and if you're nostalgic for simpler times, ioquake3 will let you relive Quake III Arena glory on a modern rig. At the Library, Peter Cawdron's Dark Beauty: First Contact belly-flops as a Slaughterhouse-Five tribute, while Cory Doctorow's Enshittification nails exactly why everything sucks—even if his fixes are pure science fiction.Sponsors:CleanMyMac - clnmy.com/GrumpyOldGeeks - Use code OLDGEEKS for 20% off.Private Internet Access - Go to GOG.Show/vpn and sign up today.

Recently Alex Shandrovsky had me as a guest on his show, the Investment Climate Podcast to talk about The Better Meat Co.'s recent funding round. When it came out, more than one Business for Good listener heard it and told me they thought it would make a good episode to release to our audience too, so this episode is simply the conversation Alex and I had for his podcast. If you've been following the alternative protein sector (and the broader biotech sector), you've likely seen the wave of challenges that fermentation, cultivated, and plant-based startups have faced over the past few years. As recent AgFunder News reporting confirms, ag and food tech investment is at a decade-long low. One active food tech VC even declared that foodtech investing is “maybe as bad as it's ever been.” Some days, building a startup in our sector can feel like being a player in Squid Game—with about the same odds of survival. While layoffs, bankruptcies, shutdowns, and cash-free acquisitions have been rampant in our sector lately, BMC has never conducted layoffs. Instead we've always been very frugal, and we tightened our belt even further in the past year, all while continuing to make important progress toward our aspirations of slashing humanity's footprint on the planet. This has been true in the midst of the three-year litigation we endured, the collapse of our bank and subsequent (temporary) loss of all funds, the painfully wintry investment climate for alt-protein, and other seemingly innumerable challenges. Our ethic of frugality will certainly continue in this new era of scaleup for our company.  This financing is hardly the end of our story. Receiving investor dollars isn't our goal; it's solely a means to the end of building a profitable business that will help put a dent in the number of animals raised for food. Raising a round is akin to having someone provide the clothes, tents, and food you'll need to climb Everest…but you still need to actually go climb the mountain—hardly a guaranteed outcome.  I've often said these days that we've shifted from what felt like a Sispyphean feat of fundraising to now merely a Herculean feat of scaling. Nearly all startups fail. The vast majority never see their seventh birthday, which BMC recently celebrated. Our company is still far from successful, but we now have a real chance to birth into the world a novel crop that can help feed humanity without frying the planet. We will judiciously use these new funds to work hard to finally let the Rhiza River flow.  Alex and I discuss the story of how this funding round came about, and where we may be going from here. 

The UK workroom is alive again with the sound of camp cows, Soho girls, Irish girls, indoor divas, the occasionally unclear pun name, both a violin and a nose flute, and a Gregg's in a wig. The Pink Carpet sort-of challenge is essentially a version of Squid Game where you just hope to not get interviewed by Plane Jane, and the runway reminds us that this episode is just one big Meet the Queens. Despite some great music, the cow vote was kind of BS.

Send us a textSquid Game Season 3 on Netflix brings the brutal saga to a close with a sharp edge and emotional gravity. This final chapter sees Seong Gi-hun return not as a player, but as a man with a mission—to dismantle the twisted machinery behind the games. Across six tightly wound episodes, the show doubles down on moral ambiguity, betrayal, and the human cost of survival. Familiar faces resurface, past wounds are torn open, and justice becomes a blood-stained pursuit. It's not just about who survives anymore—it's about who can live with what they've done. The ending doesn't just tie up loose ends; it leaves scars—on characters and viewers alike.But Squid Game was always bigger than its plot. It reshaped global entertainment, proving that a Korean-language series could dominate the world's screens and spark global conversations about inequality, desperation, and the price of choice. Its legacy is etched not just in ratings or awards, but in culture—those green tracksuits, the haunting music, the symbolism of every game. Season 3 may mark the end of the story, but Squid Game's impact will echo for years. It didn't just go out with a bang—it signed off in blood and ink, sealing its place as one of the most daring and influential shows of our time.Remember to click on the link in the show for your 30 Day Free Audible Trial and help support DMR in the process! Support the showThe audio clips used in this podcast, including excerpts from movie/series/documentary trailers, are used under the principles of fair use and fair dealing for the purpose of criticism, commentary, and review.
