Netflix's 'Squid Game' Returns for Season 3 Tomorrow. Here's How to Watch
Squid Game season 3 is nearly here, and we only had to wait six months for new episodes. Considering the three years fans had to wait for season 2 of Netflix's global hit series to arrive, this is reason enough to celebrate.
Well, get ready, the final games are about to begin.
The second season of Squid Game ended on a cliffhanger, leaving the futures of Seong Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) and the rest of the players hanging in the balance. One has to assume Player 456 will get out of all this alive. Still, the emotional stakes writer-director Hwang Dong-hyuk has brought to the series leave the possibility open that anyone, including Gi-hun, could die at any moment.
Considering that season 3 is the final season, you have to expect answers to big questions like: Will Gi-hun have his revenge against the Front Man (Lee Byung-hun)? Can Jun-ho find the island and bring these criminals to justice?
Rounding out the cast for these final episodes are Yim Si-wan, Kang Ha-neul, Wi Ha-joon, Park Gyu-young, Park Sung-hoon, Yang Dong-geun, Kang Ae-shim, Jo Yu-ri, Lee David and Roh Jae-won. Hwang, who made history at the 74th Primetime Emmys, as the first Asian to win the award for Outstanding Directing for a Drama Series, is back as director, writer and producer for these new episodes.

The pharma CEOs aren't safe in new trailer for Yorgos Lanthimos' Bugonia
CEOs would be nothing without the labor of their (typically) underpaid employees, and the unfairness of that reality seems to be what's causing all the chaos in director Yorgos Lanthimos' upcoming film, Bugonia. A remake of South Korean director Jang Joon-hwan's 2003 feature Save the Green Planet, Bugonia zooms in on the life of Teddy (Jesse Plemons), a conspiracy-minded beekeeper who works for a massive pharmaceutical company run by Michelle (Emma Stone). As one of the company's many workers who spend their days laboring to make a fraction of Michelle's salary, Teddy sees a lot of parallels between himself and the bees who live only to serve their queen. Teddy knows that he, like a beehive's drones, is expendable in the grand scheme of Michelle's plans as a CEO. Teddy's frustrations and delusions about an alien invasion convince him that Michelle probably isn't a human. And that's enough for him to hatch a plot to kidnap his boss under the auspices of saving the planet. Though the trailer skews a little whimsical, it's fairly clear that Lanthimos and writer Will Tracy are telling a dark story about people pushed to the edge by economic inequality. The movie also seems like it's going to touch on how people not having proper access to quality mental health care is a very real societal problem, which is probably going to make Bugonia feel timely as hell when the film hits limited theaters on October 24th before its wide release on October 31st.

Nintendo Switch 2 Exclusive Mario Kart World Is Selling Faster Than OG Switch Launch Title Zelda: Breath of the Wild in Japan
In Japan, Nintendo Switch 2 launch title Mario Kart World has sold more physical copies in the first three days on sale than Switch 1 launch title The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild managed in its first three days. According to Famitsu, Mario Kart World has sold a huge 782,566 copies in Japan already, making it the top-selling game for the week from June 2 to June 8. It is worth noting, however, that Famitsu's figures only cover physical, preinstalled-on-console, and Game-Key Card sales from retail outlets. They do not include digital downloads direct from My Nintendo Store, so the total number of Mario Kart World sales is likely far higher. In contrast, the Switch edition of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild sold an estimated 193,060 copies in Japan over the first three days after the original Switch's launch back in 2017, according to Famitsu's figures. This means that in Japanese retail sales alone, Mario Kart World has sold around four times more copies than Breath of the Wild initially did on Switch 1. This is hardly surprising, considering the Switch 2 is Nintendo's fastest selling hardware to date, shifting over 3.5 million units worldwide in the first four days. In fact, Nintendo's latest console is outselling the original Switch 2-to-1 (no pun intended). The supply-constrained Switch 1 got off to a much slower start, selling 2.74 million units globally in just under a month. Over the first three days post-launch, physical Switch 2 games saw strong sales in Japan. Switch 2 titles accounted for half of Famitsu's top 10, with Switch 2 editions of Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma (No. 6, 10,877 copies), Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (No. 7, 7,992 copies), Zelda: Breath of the Wild (No. 8, 7,529 copies) and Yakuza 0 (No. 9, 7,486 copies) entering the charts. Elden Ring: Nightreign (PS5) was the only non-Switch title at No. Mario Kart World may be racing ahead of Breath of the Wilds' initial launch figures in Japan, it remains to be seen if it will eventually catch up with the critically acclaimed Zelda game's total sales. Especially considering that BOTW just got a Switch 2 HD rerelease, which may prompt fans to purchase the game all over again.

Bobby Berk Talks Queer Eye Salary, Losing Money
Despite what it might seem like, reality stars are often paid an absolute pittance for their appearances on hit TV shows. Exhibit 1,000: Bobby Berk on Queer Eye. For context, Bobby left school at 15 and worked his way up various homeware companies before launching his own business in 2006. His interior design practice followed in 2015, before Queer Eye hit three years later. The designer announced that he was leaving the hit Netflix series in 2023, later explaining that he'd initially thought that the cast had agreed to wrap up the show beforehand. "Mentally and emotionally, I thought we all moved on. I know I did, and I started planning other things," he explained, attributing his choice to leave to not wanting to put the "brakes on multiple other projects that are already in process." Yesterday, the Networth and Chill podcast published an interview with Bobby where he broke down his finances over the years. When asked if he "made a lot of money" doing Queer Eye, he replied, "[The] first two seasons, I definitely lost money being on the show." "They were paying us basically nothing," he continued, noting that there was also "the amount of money that I was losing from not running my company and being gone." "Seasons 3 and 4, I probably broke even. To be frank, they never really paid us well, compared to what they pay scripted stars. I mean, we made a single-digit percentage," the 43-year-old said. Of course, his only income wasn't from Netflix. He added, "Obviously, what it did was open up doors for working with brands and companies. I remember over the years, fans would get annoyed with the Fab Five because we were often promoting brands, 'So sick of this!' And we're like, 'Well, girl, we don't make money off the show. This is our form of income. How do you think we continue to do the show?'" You can listen to the full podcast interview here. Looking for more LGBTQ+ or Pride content?
