Tune in as author and podcaster Brett Salter (Irish Salt) jumps back onto the program for a breakdown of The Game, the 1997 mindfuck thriller in which a mysterious corporation takes an investment banker who rules over his lonesome life with the fist of a control freak, then makes it their mission to rip away any grasp he has on what’s real and what’s manufactured. A quick and negative review from Arthur for Netflix’s Trigger Warning, Michael Douglas’s knack for playing assholes and sleazeballs, The Game giving off A Christmas Carol vibes, and the frustrating ending comprise a few of the topics that this episode is covering.

Directed by David Fincher, The Game stars Michael Douglas, Deborah Kara Unger, Sean Penn, James Rebhorn, Peter Donat, Carroll Baker, Armin Mueller-Stahl, Anna Katarina, Charles Martinet, Daniel Schorr, Mark Boone Junior, and Yuji Okumoto.

Spoilers start at 31:30
