Your questions about Netflix's global sensation 'Squid Game,' answered
The monsters in “Squid Game” are economic exploitation and capitalist society, so the series doesn’t rely on things like jump scares. Some may find the bloody violence upsetting, but the show is not always grim.One of the viral TikTok trends that has followed “Squid Game” is a challenge inspired by one of the deadly children’s games the contestants play on the show.
The 13-disc set includes his standup and TV appearances, including the four episodes of not-safe-for-TV “The Richard Pryor Show,” and new features that Lee Pryor created such as “Last Standup Sitting Down,” about Pryor performing from his wheelchair.It also includes a “no-holds-barred” interview with Lee Pryor, whose favorite routine of Pryor’s is also NSFTV. But she still has some things to set straight, her protective instincts taking over when he can’t speak for himself.
“Nobody does drugs 24/7. Richard was one of the most prolific people. If you look at the body of work ... he would be very disciplined when he had a project to do.And do you know that he still would get up and go to work? … It was scary just watching him do it, but you know, he had a discipline about him. So that’s the other thing that kind of drives me crazy: ‘Oh, Richard did cocaine all the time.’ [N]o, no, no.
She’s far from done being “the Centurion at the gate, if you will,” and gives a glimpse into a fan’s future.“You know, we’ve got other projects on the slate. As you know, there’s a biopic that’s being written now. … Our deal is at MGM and, Kenya [Barris] is writing the script and he will also produce with me.”“Richard always told the truth. He sometimes lost his way with that right after the fire,” she says of the widely publicized incident in June 1980 when Pryor was burned.
But on the whole, she says of the boxed set, “you’ll see how honest he was and how original ... . [T]his guy just had courage straight through. Never gave up. Never, never let go. Never surrendered. Always told the truth.” —Times staffers chew on the pop culture of the moment — love it, hate it or somewhere in between
