The reveal that so many of John’s trap victims were from the clinic makes his actions that much more sinister to me. he traps them for “not appreciating life” even though (most of them) were literally trying to get help in rehab. It’s one thing to target vulnerable people, it’s another to seek out those who came to YOUR family for help. Obviously the reason they did this is for Easter eggs for the fans to pick out, but I’ve always liked the additional layer of malice it adds to John’s character.

I've seen other Meaties suggest a Re-Count of the saw series, which would be nice, but I personally feel like we need that Chronological cut of Saw mentioned in the last episode.

"That must've been a crazy week for engineers and architects" might be top 5 most accurate & hilarious comments I've heard in reference to Saw. James killed Graessle with that one

Dead Meat please know that Hot Saw Summer is the only thing getting me through my work week

I love James's jigsaw voice, I hope he never stops doing it.

This is what I love the most about dead meat, is how celebratory you are of not just movies but media in general, in an era where cynical snark and dismissal is what I keep running into online, you are truly the safe haven of horror

I don't know if your gonna read this or if you care, but Gressel's original guess for John Kramer's occupation was a chemist! Which was a solid guess considering how many of the early traps were so reliant on precise poisoning.

I love that Graessle keeps saying the newest one he watches is his favourite. I hope it continues for the whole series

Graessle my boy you deserve a fun backdrop on your segment!

If it’s not already planned, definitely need a Post-Mortem episode after Saw X just going through comments & statistics

Hahaha I loved when you joked about people in the engineering communty knowing about John, because just imagine if John once asked for help on some internet forum and some guy being like "shit, I helped him getting that trap working, didn't I?"

We've entered the Era where being too good at your job is a crime according to John. (Although Kerry already fit that in Saw 3, i find it much worse here.)

Rewatching the movie for this episode made me realize that Cityton has some of the worst security in movie history. In the span of a single night, Rigg is able to break into a hotel, a school and a factory that's under investigation, all while every cop in town is looking for him. Did John buy up all the security cameras in town just so nobody could use them?

Actually, that makes perfect sense.

24:34 Engineers finding out John Kramer was Jigsaw would be like in the cosplay community finding out Yaya Han or Jessica Nigri was a serial torturer/killer. Like dude, she judged my costume or I was dreaming of collabing with her.
