Now Playing Podcast Presents: The Saw Retrospective Series

How many times can you say “game over” before it actually means something?

Now Playing Podcast locks itself in a room with the entire Saw franchise, from James Wan’s scrappy 2004 indie shocker to the increasingly elaborate sequels, spin-offs, and legacy continuations that kept Jigsaw’s work alive long after he was six feet under.

Twisted traps. Moral lectures. Soap-opera plotting disguised as torture porn. As the timeline bends over backward to connect every apprentice and every flashback, does the series get sharper with age or just more convoluted?

Join the Now Playing Podcast hosts as they follow every key, every tape recorder, and every reverse bear trap to decide which chapters are killer and which should have been left for dead.
