Adaptation Decay 101: Squid Game
Added 2025-08-13 18:51:40 +0000 UTCWhat if capitalism was a game? Also, if you die in the game you die in real life. Because the game is real life this time. Squid Game took the world by storm when it first came out, but let's put it up to the ultimate critical test... how good of a gaming adaptation is it?
This episodes covers all three seasons of Squid Game.

Luckily there's just 1 season of fallout. I think squid game having 3 seasons would be the anomaly. ideally, we'd cover fallout season one in an eppo, and then season two in a separate episode, for example. -GB
