We’re beyond thrilled to welcome The Handmaid’s Tale showrunner Bruce Miller to the podcast. Unsurprisingly, he was a pleasure to talk to, and of course had a lot of fascinating things to say about the making of this incredible show. A few of the things we talked about: • Margaret Atwood’s involvement in the series • The attention to detail that goes into creating the world of Gilead • An answer to people who say the show is too brutal • Whether he can get into the heads of every character • His thoughts on our podcast • And much much more!

Like a lot of you, we weren’t sure we were ready for another season of The Handmaid’s Tale, but going back through the events of the series for this recap, we were reminded of two things: 1. This show has moved on from the first couple of season when the characters couldn’t do much to react to their situation, and into a place where they’re fighting back, and that feels good. And 2. It’s just such a good show, and despite the current situation, it’s easy to get lost in. And we want to know how it ends! So join Wendy and Jason as we refresh you on everything that’s happened up until now, and explain how we’ll be approaching the podcast given what’s happening in the United States and in the world right now.  Nolite te bastardes carborundorum.

Bonus Episode: Introducing Wax Episodic Hi, Jason here. This is a special bonus episode reposted from my new podcast, Wax Episodic, where I cover top-tier, story-rich TV shows one season at a time with different co-hosts. We’re kicking things off with Alien: Earth, and I wanted to share the first episode here so you can check it out. If you like it, please consider subscribing to Wax Episodic — it’s my new podcast home, and you can find it at ⁠waxepisodic.com⁠.  Or just search “Wax Episodic” wherever you get your podcasts. PS If The Handmaid’s Tale pulled you in with its chilling look at systemic oppression and power run amok, Alien: Earth offers a similarly unsettling take—this time through a sci-fi lens, with corporations and institutions exerting control in quietly terrifying ways. Alien: Earth S1E1&2: “Neverland” & “Mr. October” The wait is over — Alien: Earth has landed, and Noah Hawley’s first two episodes deliver everything we hoped for: suspense, grotesque alien terrors, strange new lifeforms, and a sharp look at how unchecked corporate ambition could shape our future — in a series that (at least so far) feels both classic and brand new. Join Jason, Randy, and Kara as we dig into “Neverland” and “Mr. October.” Links from the episode: Brain interface used to edit YouTube video — paralyzed Neuralink patient also uses AI to narrate with his own voice: ⁠https://www.tomshardware.com/peripherals/wearable-tech/brain-interface-used-to-edit-youtube-video-paralyzed-neuralink-patient-also-uses-ai-to-narrate-with-his-own-voice?utm_source=chatgpt.com⁠  Next up on Wax Episodic: Alien: Earth S1E3 “Metamorphosis”!

We talked about:  • How culpable (or not) Serena was in the creation of Gilead • What it was like for Yvonne Strahovski to play different sides of Serena this season • Yvonne’s relationship with Elisabeth Moss • Whether the show might give us more backstory on Mark Tuello in the future, and the nature of the relationship between Mark and Serena • Bradley Whitford directing an episode this season • How the directors, writers, actors, sound designers, and others work together to create the show • What Bruce wants music to accomplish in the show • Whether Wendy was right that Nick punching Lawrence in the face was staged • The nature of Nick and Rose’s relationship • How situations in the real world can inspire the story of the show • His thoughts on Mrs. Wheeler • What kind of show he’d like to produce next • And more!

Wow. WOW! What an incredibly intense finale. Dark? Yes. Cathartic? We thought so.  We had such a great time podcasting about Handmaid’s Tale this season - because of the high quality of the show, and because of all the fantastic engagement with you guys! Thanks for being a part of it all with us, and we’ll see you for season 5. Next on House Podcastica: Our next series will be the upcoming Disney+ show, What If? Which explores how the MCU would be altered if certain events had occurred differently, like if Loki wielded Thor's hammer. It’s an animated show, beautifully done by the looks of the teaser trailer, and features Westworld’s Geoffrey Wright as The Watcher (kind of this show’s Rod Serling) and a bunch of the Marvel move actors like Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston, Sam Jackson, Michael B. Jordan, Jeff Goldblum, Karen Gillan, Josh Brolin, and a bunch more. Looks like even Chadwick Boseman did one before he passed away. So, if you’re watching that, we’ll be there to help you geek out on it :) It comes out in August so we might cover a movie or two in the meantime.

So fascinating to see how June’s presence in Canada impacts the people around her — Luke, Fred & Serena, Emily and the women of the support group.

For anyone who’s favorite character was Commander Warren Putnam (so, that’s no one), this was a sad episode. We were fascinated seeing how Luke handled a bit of the Gilead treatment, and Serena too, for that matter.

A bit of a quieter episode this week, but no less enthralling, with events that we suspect will loom large over the remainder of the series, like June connecting with a certain rebellious group and Serena getting a new job. Plus, some fireworks between Serena and Mark (so you know Wendy is happy).

So much conflict and tension is being sown in this show, with Agnes’ crush Garth courting Becka, who loves Agnes;  Agnes’ suitor Weston closing in on Daisy as the leader of the Eyes; and Daisy the anti-Gilead-spy getting closer to Agnes, who thinks anti-Gilead spies want to kill her.

A moving, satisfying, bittersweet season finale where these girls who’ve spent the season waking up to how oppressed they and the women of Gilead have been decided to take a stand. We loved it, and we have a lot to talk about.  A huge thank you to everyone who listened and who wrote or called in.

What a thrill to once again talk to Bruce Miller, showrunner of The Testaments! His enthusiasm for the material is clear and infectious, and we hope you enjoy the conversation as much as we did. Among other things, Bruce talked about: Why Gilead is terrified of teenage girls Rowan Blanchard’s performance as Shunammite, and why he thinks viewers eventually came around on the character Lydia’s motivations, including whether she really believed she was protecting the women of Gilead The brutal stadium flashback, and the challenge of adapting such disturbing material without making viewers turn away What Agnes remembers about her mother, and how Gilead may have manipulated the memories of stolen children The cameos from Handmaid’s Tale characters, and whether he thinks more of The Handmaid’s Tale cast would want to return The visual storytelling of the series, from production design and costumes to color and cinematography Why we saw so little red this season What it was like working with the remarkable young cast Some intriguing hints about season two, including character backstories and a possible Gilead road trip And a lot more!
