Same. I have no desire to watch a show about the exploitation of poor people, but I hate not understanding all the memes around it (and I’m well aware that that’s exactly what I hate about the show)

You make some of the best recaps of all time

[@kevinmartinez723]

Your dubbing when you speak for the characters is actually about as good as the NETFLIX english dub lmao

[@erinblanchard4702]

As someone with an audio processing disorder who requires subtitles to watch a lot of shows, I struggled a lot with the first episode of squid game because the audio and the subtitles don’t match, forcing me to pause often to process what is going on. I decided that I simply couldn’t keep watching the show like this because it was frustrating and tiring, but I also wanted to because the show seemed so cool! So thank you so much for this recap, it allows me to participate in the hype and enjoyment along with others.

[@feynstein1004]

Watching recaps for shows you haven't watched yet is TIGHT!

[@pieterhofkens7259]

"Every country should really have free universal health care." 👍♥

[@alejandrolira2125]

For reals, I cannot get decent health insurance because I already have something I was genetically born with. It's amazing how capitalism is more important than life. I've had friends who have died because of they can't afford going to a dr. I wanna migrate to Canada

[@Arkiasis]

Funny thing is South Korea does have universal healthcare. It's not fully free. But it's still super cheap.

[@91clarie]

@@alejandrolira2125 As an EU-citizen from a country with good universal healthcare this sounds like living in a weird dystopia tbh. Unreal. I once called an ambulance in the middle of the night just because I was feeling a little dizzy and wanted to have that checked immediately. I was also in the hospital for three weeks this summer because of a food poisoning germ. All of those things are covered by basic insurance here you automatically have when you have any kind of job. And even the unemployed have that if they're registered in the state's unemployment system. I really hope you can perhaps move somewhere where you have all that too.

[@espurious]

Great show. Thanks for the recap, Player 469

[@GreatGabboVideos]

This was a fantastic show and am glad that once a decade Americans can watch stuff with subtitles. I also liked there was a throwaway xmen joke and the front man was in an xmen movie and the actor wasn't revealed yet, so of course he was the front man, which is a pretty genius inside joke.

[@_Amit_Sunil]

Was front man actor in The Wolverine - the one set in Japan

[@webhead_22]

What was the throwaway X-Men joke? I missed it

[@_Amit_Sunil]

Edit: No idea what the OP is referring to - neither the X-Men reference or how the actor Lee Byung-Hun was in the franchise somewhere. Did you get mixed up with GI:Joe? Cause he did play Storm Shadow in the late 2000s reboot
