The Silver Linings Playlist
Not every movie wraps up with a neat little bow on the end. Some leave you asking "what the f@#$?!" We're here to find the silver lining in the latter. Join Dustin, Mallie, and Nathan every Monday as we try to find the light at the end of the tunnel for some of cinema's bleakest endings - and have some laughs while doing so.

Episode 205: Saw V
Saw V is not a good movie. In fact, some would argue it barely qualifies as one since it spends most of its 95-minute runtime showing the audience scenes from the previous four films and flashbacks that don’t amount to much. Couple that with one of the most milquetoast villains of all time in Hoffman and you’ve got yourself a pretty bland Saw entry. Good luck making sense of the timeline if you’re a casual fan as well because this film makes no attempts at creating an entry point for newcomers to this series. So strap in for this emotionally bleak and visually dark movie as we’re discussing the movie, plus the Saw traps we least would like to find ourselves in, how cell phones work, and the Saw vs. Trap crossover we need ASAP.
Saw V stars Tobin Bell, Costas Mandylor, Scott Patterson, Betsy Russell, Mark Rolston, Julie Benz, Carlo Rota, and Meagan Good. Directed by David Hackl.
