What We Watched - Saw-Tember 2026

Saw-tember is officially in session, and this time, we’re putting Jigsaw’s own philosophy to the test.

Instead of breaking down the Saw movies themselves, we each picked three traps from across the franchise and asked one question: Would this actually be John Kramer-approved?

Our criteria are simple: the trap has to be survivable, there has to be a clear lesson tied to the test, and (according to John’s own rules) no innocent people should be harmed.

From Amanda’s very questionable handiwork in the Angel and Classroom traps to the Reverse Bear Trap, 10 Pints of Sacrifice, the Brazen Bull, the Blood Boarding Trap, Jeff’s emotionally devastating trials, and more, we’re digging into whether these games actually follow Jigsaw’s rules or expose some pretty massive holes in his philosophy.

Expect strong opinions, questionable apprentices, justice for Detective Matthews, a Jeff rant that has been waiting almost 20 years to happen, and plenty of “NOT JOHN KRAMER APPROVED!”
