After watching Saw last week inspired us to continue watching the rest of the franchise. This week, we focus on the next four films in the franchise and how the story of Jigsaw evolves. Before we give our thoughts, we talk about Coachella and Justin Bieber’s impactful performance, getting tickets to see sombr this fall, and a breakup in the Love is Blind universe. While we were recording, the news also broke that D4vd was arrested for the murder of teenager Celeste Rivas Hernandez back in September. On a lighter note, Hannah also watched the new Netflix film, Thrash, which combines sharks and hurricanes. As promised, we finished watching the second season of Euphoria ahead of the season three premiere. We’ll be recapping both episode one and two of the new season next week!

Some people might be adverse to the Saw franchise since it’s very graphic, but we do find some psychological depth to the films. Yes, the traps are disturbing, but we find the story of Jigsaw compelling and it elevates it compared to some other horror films. When watching multiple films back-to-back, it’s easier to see some of the flaws in the storyline. While the interactions between the victims are usually pretty good and the twists still get you, the extra backstory added to Jigsaw and the intentions behind his successor fall a bit flat. Next week, we’ll be taking a little break from the franchise, but we’ll be back later to finish up the rest of the films!
