After Paranormal Activity upset Saw as the Horror King of Halloween last year, the makers of the Saw film franchise decided that the seventh installment of Saw would be the last, and to provide a new novelty they also jumped on the 3-D bandwagon. Arnie, Marjorie, and Jakob have reunited to finish their trial of reviewing the Saw films by giving more thought to Saw 3-D than the screenwriters did. Is this last piece in the Jigsaw puzzle satisfying? Listen to find out!

Saw Series Episode 7

After Paranormal Activity knocked Saw off its Halloween throne, the producers decided the time had come to end the game. This final chapter promises one last round of traps, twists, and moral reckoning – now in 3D! Arnie, Marjorie, and Jakob reunite to finish their own long-running trial of the Saw series, putting more thought into this finale than some might argue the screenplay received. Does this last piece of the puzzle deliver a satisfying conclusion, or does the series end with a dull blade?

Saw Series Episode 6

Now Playing Podcast completes our Saw retrospective series (for now…) with Saw VI. This sequel takes Jigsaw’s moral crusade in a surprisingly topical direction. Though John Kramer is dead, his final plans target a new set of “players,” this time zeroing in on the cold calculus of insurance executives and corporate decision-making. With traps designed to force those who profit from denying coverage to confront the human cost of their policies, Saw VI leans harder into social commentary than previous entries. Some may see Jigsaw’s warped sense of justice as timely, others as heavy-handed. Does this entry sharpen the series’ themes, or does it stretch the premise too far? The hosts examine whether this latest game hits its mark or pushes the concept past its breaking point.

Saw Series Episode 5

Now Playing Podcast continues the game with Saw V, a chapter that shifts focus from elaborate set pieces to the growing legacy of Jigsaw’s work. With John Kramer gone, the spotlight turns to those carrying out his philosophy, and whether they truly understand the rules he claimed to live by. As a new group of victims faces traps that demand cooperation rather than selfish survival, the film digs deeper into the idea that the real test may not be physical endurance, but moral choice. Meanwhile, the investigation tightens around Jigsaw’s inner circle. Does Saw V meaningfully expand the mythology, or does the series start to feel like it’s running on borrowed time?

Saw Series Episode 4

At the end of Saw III, Jigsaw was dead. So how does the game continue in Saw IV? This fourth installment rewinds, overlaps, and twists the timeline as Detective Rigg becomes the latest player forced to navigate a deadly moral maze. Meanwhile, Donnie Wahlberg finds himself in serious jeopardy, hanging in the balance as Rigg (Skinwalkers’ Lyriq Bent) races against the clock to learn Jigsaw’s lesson before it’s too late. With John Kramer gone, the franchise leans harder into apprentices, legacy, and increasingly complex storytelling. But can Saw IV sustain the series without Jigsaw at the center, or does the absence of the mastermind expose cracks in the formula? The hosts untangle the traps, the timeline, and whether this chapter keeps the game alive.
