Frustrating analysis ...
So many problems with this podcast. This podcast gets more access to actors and writers involved with the show than any other THT podcast and yet they still routinely bring up theories that those involved with the show have completely debunked. They consistently miss details in each episode (or are just flat out wrong sometimes) and don’t to any background research on historic and current events that inspire the story of The Handmaid’s Tale. Overall they sound unprepared in their episode recaps and their analysis of the show is very shallow. I initially was really interested in this podcast since there was a male co-host, but unfortunately the more I hear from Justin the less I like him. He’s made more than a few boneheaded comments on what he thinks women experience in the real world and gets pretty defensive when his female co-hosts push back and try to set him straight. This alone has pretty much turned me off this particular podcast in general. I really hope other, more deserving podcasts get more access to the show’s cast and crew next season. There are several other podcasts that put a lot of effort into watching and analyzing the show and deserve to be able to interview the show’s cast/writing team.

I mainly listen to Red All Over but decided to give this podcast a shot in addition to what I’m already listening to for Season 2. The discussion is pretty good for the most part but sometimes I wish that Justin would do a little less talking and more listening. He’s made a few boneheaded...Read full review »

I really enjoy this recap pod! They see things that I don’t when watching, and also catch references I don’t! The male cohost is also pretty good at acknowledging his male privilege, and listens to his female cohosts when they are discussing their experiences!
