#044 - The Handmaid's Tale Season 2
Manage episode 309897996 series 3044744
The Gribshnobler returns from hiatus with LadyMsGee for our discussion of season 2 of the TV series The Handmaid's Tale, based on the dystopian (maybe science fiction) novel by Margaret Atwood. Do we think this season holds up in comparison to the book and first season? Listen to find out! Along the way, you'll also hear X-Ray Spex, The Plasmatics, and The Luminaries play some punk and indie rock.
Note: This episode has an explicit rating for language and subject matter.
Correction: We did not play any X-Ray Spex songs in our first Handmaid episode, instead we played "No One's a Little Girl" by The Raincoats.
