Jules Mercer and Devon Pierce pull back the curtain on Ripper, the original crime thriller series in development at Playtime Studio. In this episode, they dig into the hidden easter eggs sprinkled throughout the scripts — from detectives to victims — where names aren’t random at all but carefully chosen nods, some lifted from real history, others invented to build a deeper mythology. The hosts explore how small details like character names can carry weight, foreshadow twists, and reward sharp-eyed viewers. Along the way, they discuss the balance between homage and originality, tease what’s ahead for the series, and share how these choices tie into Playtime Studio’s storytelling philosophy.
