Description
Julia, Elissa, Katie, and Jessica literally hold each through the season finale and proceed to break it down one last time. After a Comey-esque investigation into Elissa’s lateness to the party (like all great celebrity scandals, we can chalk this one up to a scheduling conflict), we get heady and heavy with it. June is pregnant! Moira escapes! Commander Putnam’s wife savagely asks for the harshest punishment possible! Oh my. Our conversation takes us from Serena Joy’s most f****d-up move yet, to the near-stoning event of our beloved Janine, to the similarities between getting tagged at the Red Center and your first piercing at Claire’s. We also hear from our first mom-guest of the season, Jessica, about what it’s like to watch the show as a parent, whether Elisabeth Moss makes a convincing mom in that gut-wrenching scene with Hannah on the stoop, and whether or not the show fetishizes motherhood. Nick / Max touches us all when he touches June’s stomach, as they sit in silence weighing the new life growing inside of her, and we weep loudly and hold all our loved ones / electronic devices closer. Pick a partner who you want to survive the apocalypse with, is the only dating advice we give on this podcast. We also take a look at June’s inspiring season arc - she’s become a real force of change in Gilead, and shows us that a seemingly small act of resistance can have a huge ripple effect. May the Lord open, and by that we mean, may we all be Junes in times of crisis.

Julia and Elissa sit down with Dear White People’s Leann Bowen to discuss Episode 9. We discuss June’s transformation into a full-on Mayday boss bitch, and the arc of her friendship with Moira. What kind of friends are they? Not the kind of friends who want to have a three-way with one of their...

To get ready for this episode, which spans Nick’s backstory and the return of Moira, we give a pregnant Angelique Cabral a five-week-old kitten to breastfeed. No follow up questions, please. Ang, Elissa, and Julia go on a real rollercoaster in terms of their opinions of Jezebel’s, which prompts...

SoCal girls Elissa and Jamie kick off this Luke-flashback episode by asking why no one can drive on this show, to which New England baby Julia replies, “Ice is a real thing.” We are all obsessed with Little America, and Julia tells us about the real-life Little America in London. This is a...
