Celebrate Netflix’s “Squid Games” With Fully Customizable Shirts!
Squid Games should be your new obsession.
The Netflix series perfectly blends Battle Royale, Hostel, and the Oscar-winning Parasite into an obscenely violent and yet remarkably touching drama that takes on classism in Korea. It’s quite possibly the best piece of entertainment released this year.
While the show’s popularity is slow to catch on (most likely due to the subtitles), it’s beginning to gain a cult following. Netflix’s algorithm must have tipped them off because they’ve launched an official merch store to celebrate the games.
At the aforementioned link, you can pick up a wide variety of fully customizable shirts that commemorate the various games played within the series, as well as others boasting the series cool imagery. The $35+ price point is a bit much and there’s still nothing available outside of the shirts, but hopefully, there’s more on the way as we head into the holiday season.
Survive or die.

Ralph Ineson and Corey Stoll Join ‘Monarch: Legacy of Monsters’ Spinoff Series Starring Wyatt Russell
The small screen MonsterVerse is expanding with a “Monarch: Legacy of Monsters” spinoff series centered on Lee Shaw (Wyatt Russell), and Deadline brings us the latest casting news.
Corey Stoll (Imperfect Women, Billions), Ralph Ineson (The Witch, The Fantastic Four: First Steps), and Nyasha Hatendi (Agatha Christie’s The Seven Dials, Casual) have signed on.
Pilou Asbæk (Salem’s Lot) and Millie Brady (Pride and Prejudice and Zombies) also star.
Originally announced back in December, “Obi-Wan Kenobi” showrunner and “Monarch” executive producer Joby Harold will serve as showrunner on the untitled spinoff series.
The series will follow Colonel Lee Shaw, an American operative who in 1984 went on a secret mission behind enemy lines in an attempt to stop the Soviets from unleashing a horrific new Titan big enough to destroy the U.S. and turn the tide of the Cold War.
Wyatt Russell told Collider earlier this year, “you’ve got absolutely no fucking clue what to expect. I think people are going to expect one thing and be like, ‘Holy shit, this is not what I expected.’ It’ll go deeper into Lee’s experience after he came up, and being sort of put on ice, in 1982, and then what happens after that, and why he’s needed and the mission he goes on.”
