78: Jigsaw from Saw

That's Not How I'd Do It

This episode we tackle John Kramer, AKA the Jigsaw killer. Star of Saw, Saw 2, Saw 3, Saw 4, Saw 5, Saw 6, and the titular character in Jigsaw. Here are some choice excerpts from his wikipedia entry:

"By Saw III, John is on his death bed and extremely concerned over whether or not Amanda has what it takes to continue his legacy, as the traps she designs are inescapable."

"After explaining that this is Jeff's final test of forgiveness, Jeff slices John's throat with a power saw."

"Saw IV opens with John's autopsy, during which a wax-coated tape is found in his stomach."

"More flashbacks set prior to the events of the first film reveal that John targeted health insurance executive William Easton for one of his games, because he had denied two-thirds of all applicants health coverage, due to a flawed policy, including John himself."

Cool right?
