This episode we talk about shows and movies that use violence for comic and satirical effect.

Firstly a very impressive Korean drama just released on Netflix called Squid Game. Then we compare the show's approach to using violence - be it extreme and upsetting, or comical - to the likes of James Gunn's Troma-esque The Suicide Squad and Eric Kripke's adaptation of comic The Boys.

(And if you make it to the end, Emmet delivers his rant about HBO's Watchmen!)
