BaileyHOST
But I don't know if that's a hot take or not.
Zac MorrisGUEST
I'm going to go, like, towards the other side of the timeline and say that, I mean, it's not really... a change to the canon so much, but I'm going to say that they should have stuck with the new canon that they established in Jigsaw rather than resetting it again with Spiral and then resetting it again with Saw X.
Zac MorrisGUEST
Not changing the canon so much, but just sticking with that storyline rather than jumping around to different stories for the entire modern era.
BaileyHOST
I get you.
BaileyHOST
So you would have rather them just make, for lack of a better term, Jigsaw 2 rather than go to Spiral or Saw.

BaileyHOST
And it's the last one.
Bad Luck BillHOST
Darren Lynn Bozeman is the director, and he has directed a lot of things that I don't really particularly like.
Bad Luck BillHOST
He directed Repo, a genetic opera, and Spiral, another one of these movies that is sort of in the Saw stratosphere.
Bad Luck BillHOST
They tried to do this extended universe of Saw with various degrees of success.
Bad Luck BillHOST
I think this one had Chris Rock in it.
Bad Luck BillHOST
Have any of you guys saw Spiral? No.
Bad Luck BillHOST
I don't think so, question mark.
Bad Luck BillHOST
Yeah, it's not that good.
Bad Luck BillHOST
Very,
Killjoy JakeHOST
With that being said, I do think that this series can continue onwards without Tobin Bell at a certain point, but I think they really have to cast somebody who understands how to play a role like this.
Killjoy JakeHOST
This is why I think Spiral didn't work for a lot of people, and I'm not even talking about how they translated the reveal before it happened.
Killjoy JakeHOST
Max Minghella is a really good actor.
Killjoy JakeHOST
I especially love him on The Handmaid's Tale, but I feel like he just doesn't fit that role here.
Killjoy JakeHOST
Tobin Bell is naturally stoic, and when he speaks as Jigsaw, it feels like you're hearing the literal voice of God listing out your transgressions before you're judged by trial.
Killjoy JakeHOST
Even when John Kramer isn't spelling out the rules of a deadly game, he always seems to be three steps ahead of anyone who tries to confront him.
Killjoy JakeHOST
Max Minghella just wasn't given the opportunity to do something like that in most of Spiral, leading to a reveal that is not only obvious, but also a little underwhelming.
Killjoy JakeHOST
Especially considering that the voice of the killer is just so not intimidating.
Matt WilsonHOST
Kind of like, shout-out parody movie of the mid-2010s.
Erica HendersonHOST
But then he wrote Spiral and Saw X, so he's the Saw guy from now on.
Matt WilsonHOST
Yeah, he's like the recent Saw guy.
Matt WilsonHOST
Peter Goldfinger also co-wrote all of those.

Matt WilsonHOST
And so that's my problem with it, and that's why I'm cursing it.
Matt WilsonHOST
Nice.
Matt WilsonHOST
We'll be back in October with Spiral from The Book of Saw, which came out four years after this one.
Matt WilsonHOST
It is
CrystalHOST
trash.
CrystalHOST
They made, what's the other fucking movie that they did? The Spiral one.
CrystalHOST
Saw Spiral.
CrystalHOST
Oh, Spiral from the Book of
ScottHOST
Saw.
BellePANELIST
they're up to like 10, weren't they? No.
Liam StapletonHOST
Yeah, Spiral, 2021.
Liam StapletonHOST
And Chris Rock is the lead actor.
Liam StapletonHOST
What? Which is five years ago.
Liam StapletonHOST
And he's like, yeah, it's called Spiral.
Liam StapletonHOST
What number is it? I don't know.
Liam StapletonHOST
Honestly, I remember seeing the poster and then never heard anything else about it.
FerdyHOST
[laughs]
DrewHOST
Spiral.
DrewHOST
[laughs] That's from the Book of Saw.
DrewHOST
[laughs]
JeremyHOST
[laughs]
ShayHOST
We can't.
ShayHOST
And originally we were saving Jigsaw and Spiral for what we thought was going to be a more full return to Sawtember or Sawgust, depending on the release date of Saw 11.
ShayHOST
But that does not have a release date.
ShayHOST
And we don't even know if that is a project that's going to come into fruition anymore.
ShayHOST
We have so much fun.
ShayHOST
We do have so much fun.
ShayHOST
And even though Spiral is definitely a movie that has been met with a lot of criticism, we're still going to have fun talking about it.
EliseHOST
Yes.
Mike PriceHOST
I think Saw X is the last one.
Mike PriceHOST
Is Spiral, like, just not a numbered one and it's, it's a- That's a good question.
Mike PriceHOST
I should look that up.
Mike PriceHOST
Yeah.
Mike PriceHOST
Saw 3D- Uh-huh.
Mike PriceHOST
That's seven ...
Mike PriceHOST
Jigsaw, eight, Spiral- Nine ... and Saw X.
Mike PriceHOST
Okay, so they did count Spiral as- Yeah, it is ... as a S- as a Saw movie.
ShayHOST
on.
EliseHOST
Spiral blush on your cheeks.
EliseHOST
As Billy the Puppet.
EliseHOST
Perhaps crashing through a window in a birdcage.
ShayHOST
pretty wild.
ShayHOST
Yeah, it is.
ShayHOST
And these two, Jigsaw and Spiral... are both wild in their own
EliseHOST
right.
