Jigsquad Pod is a limited-run, weekly podcast discussing the Saw franchise, movie by movie. Hosted by Z (they/them), a horror fanatic who tied their ship to this falling star 7 years ago, for reasons they can't begin to explain. Except now they will, through this podcast. Z is joined every episode by a rotating cast of guests who all have strong opinions on the franchise, one way or another.
Warning for sensitive and graphic content, as well as series-wide spoilers. Nothing is left on the table.
This week Z talks to themself about Saw X and tries to contain their giddiness long enough to talk Film Brain.
Content warnings for mentions of gore, attempted sexual assault, eye trauma, self-mutilation, cancer, surgery, disembowelment, child endangerment, and copious blood
