In Episode 4, “Six Legs,” alliances are formed as players are thrown into their first team game. Hosts Phil Yu and Kiera Please unpack the heart-pounding moments as Gi-hun reluctantly steps into the role of leader as the players face a grueling six-legged pentathlon that demands far more than brute strength to survive. Meanwhile, Pink Guard 011 grapples with her own complex morality, further blurring the lines between mercy and brutality. We’ll explore the unexpected strength of the “misfits” team, while Detective Jun-ho’s rescue mission takes a darker turn. It all raises the pressing question: How far up the chain of command do the games truly go? Finally, Phil and Kiera try their hand at Gonggi, a classic Korean schoolyard game inspired by this episode, and Phil’s mom joins in to share her take on Season 2! SPOILER ALERT!

Phil and Kiera break down Episode 3, “001,” with special guest Heidi Wong—poet, writer, and horror fanatic. Gi-hun’s shocking return to the games sets the stage for a Red Light, Green Light redux like we’ve never seen before. As he tries to lead the players to safety, the question looms: how much can he really change the games? And the biggest twist yet—Player 001’s true identity is finally revealed, leaving us with more questions than answers. Plus, we dive into the complex morality of the players, and debate which players we’re rooting for…and who we’d love to see lose. (Hint: “Señorita!”) Finally, Heidi and Phil face off in a chaotic 1:1 battle of Sikhye Pong—powered by the sweet, traditional Korean rice drink. SPOILER ALERT!
