After We Fell off the Squid Game - Kelsey and Alex Show

With regard to the VIPs in squid game, I read somewhere on a YouTube video or on Twitter that they're supposed to be an ironical representation of Americans because when most American shows feature Asians, they're given stereotypical roles and this was a vice versa sort of thing? Also, I think certain things in the drama were lost in translation too. This is just extra information but the game red light, green light (mugunghwa kocci pieotseumnida) translates to "the rose of sharon has bloomed" which is significant since the national flower of South Korea is the hibiscus flower/ rose of sharon.

You’re completely right about the fostering! Here in the UK, so many people were encouraged to foster animals during COVID, myself included. Glad to hear you guys are adopting a rescue!

I'm a Hunger Games fan so I finally went ahead and watched it. Definitely enjoyed it.

Squid Game: 32:47

aw i would love to see jenna!! i have a 3 year old foxhound and when my family and i first adopted her she also had separation anxiety, but the way we got her to stop crying when we left (her howling was so loud the neighbors could hear) was we bought a camera that connected to a phone app and put in the living room. so whenever we went out for a bit and she started howling we could just speak into the mic on the app and reassure her that we would be back soon

You really hit the nail on vip's taking away the whole "darkness" and ruining it by a lot. I also wanted some moral ambiguity behind Il Nahm's reason to make the games, something more than "i was bored" at least.

As someone that watch a lot of K-Drama’s. I can say that if there is some English speaking characters in the show or movie you know they gonna be bad at acting. So when I saw the V.I.P’s I just new they will bring it down. Also your totally right about k-drama’s being a bit more mature the characters are mostly in their thirties and sometimes late twenties

Hi Kelsey and Alex hopefully you read this I wait so impatiently for your podcast and I've listened to all your podcasts twice on spotify because I find them so funny. I wish you all the best!

This is so fun to listen to, I love this podcast!

Hello! Loving the podcasts!

Matpat actually did make a squid game vid, Alex!

They Just put up a new one and now It's gone 😟 I need some podcast good good

I love this podcast ahhgg

I don’t watch any of the really popular shows on streaming platforms because I don’t find them to ever be as good as what “media” is saying. And when I say “media” I mean what I read and see online, not just news outlets. Also I used to write on Wattpad and knew about “After” because I was on there when the author of the series first began uploading. I like hearing about these shows/movies because I know I’ll never take the time to watch them so I appreciate these podcasts because you’re going over what worked and what didn’t for you

39:20 @SquidGame VIPs talking weird: I agree, though earnestly I can’t say that I HAVEN’T heard some Westerners say such things…:P

33:34 is when squid game starts
