Saw VI

A steam cage maze? Remember the good old days when it was just two guys, a crap-filled toilet, and a gun?

Now Playing Podcast completes our Saw retrospective series (for now...) with Saw VI. This sequel takes Jigsaw’s moral crusade in a surprisingly topical direction. Though John Kramer is dead, his final plans target a new set of "players," this time zeroing in on the cold calculus of insurance executives and corporate decision-making. With traps designed to force those who profit from denying coverage to confront the human cost of their policies, Saw VI leans harder into social commentary than previous entries. Some may see Jigsaw’s warped sense of justice as timely, others as heavy-handed. Does this entry sharpen the series’ themes, or does it stretch the premise too far? The hosts examine whether this latest game hits its mark or pushes the concept past its breaking point.
