OTR escapes to a quiet cabin in Wisconsin for this analysis of Netflix's biggest and bloodiest battle royale shows, Squid Game and Alice in Borderland! Huy takes us through the social commentary of Squid Game, including its satire of capitalism (which, side note, Netflix seems to have missed with its new "Squid Game: The Challenge"). Lando argues for Alice in Borderland's greater range and its originality -- its show did come first, after all, and the manga even before that. Both try to impress Judge Mucci with the most devastating deaths of each series, but will he be swayed from his personal feelings on each show?
