SAW | Let the games begin

Welcome to Seeing Saw: The Official Spiral Podcast. This is the podcast that traps listeners in the world of one of horror's biggest franchises and pieces together the entire Saw series film by film. Film critics and Saw fans (and potential acolytes of Jigsaw) Catherine Bray, Anna Bogutskaya and Charlie Shackleton are navigating their way through the puzzlingly brilliant film series that changed horror films forever, as they prepare for the latest entry in the series Spiral: From the Book of Saw. 


In this first episode the team reveal the origins of the Saw story, from its humble beginnings to its world domination. Featuring an introduction to the world of Jigsaw, a recap of this first chapter in the Book of Saw (if you've somehow forgotten what happened!), dissection of its cultural impact and of course a debate about its best traps, there's a lot going on in Seeing Saw. And with eight more films to cover, the game has just begun!
