She is a child of the 90's, but was baptized into the church of 70's and 80's rock and roll and dove in head first, worshipping at the altar of the "foremothers of rock" like Ann Wilson, Joan Jett & Pat Benatar. She emerged and formed Halestorm, combining vocals that can seduce you one moment only to punch you in the face the next with her bandmates thunderous, buzzsaw cocktail of 90's grunge and nu metal. Throw in giant hooks and enough pop polish to make her foremothers proud and you have Halestorm.
Justin sits down with Lzzy to talk about Halestorm's new album "Vicious", and what it's like being an influencer and foremother in her own right. Plus her takes on advocating for mental health and being that cartoon character that someone out there needs to see and why representation matters more than ever.

The Handmaid's Tale on HULU leaves us once again with no idea where the show is going. Episode 12 "Postpartum" followed up the highly emotional, very different episode "Holly" in which June gives birth to her daughter. Writer Eric Tuchman is a veteran TV writer with a history of writing for strong female characters. He brings us an episode in which things unfold and reveal the depths of the flaws in Gilead's society and the toll that it takes on all involved. "Postpartum" sets in motion events, the long term effects of which are not yet known and sets up a finale that could go in any direction.

Meanwhile Serena has what she's always wanted but it may not quite be what she bargained for.

The Handmaid's Tale on HULU follows up one of their most intense and violent episodes with something entirely different. In S2/E11 - "Holly" we essentially get a one woman show as Elisabeth Moss absolutely puts one of the best performances of her run on The Handmaid's Tale. As June finds herself in the middle of nowhere, having just seen Hannah and Nick taken away, she steels herself and focuses on the two things she can control. Herself, and the baby. The only break in the Elisabeth Moss show comes in the form of an epic meltdown of a scene with Fred and Serena. It it small but it is mighty! Yvonne Strahovski leaves no doubts as to whether she should be at the top of all the award nomination lists as she somehow manages to plunge us further into the depths of Serena's pit of misery. This is the kind of episode that makes you appreciate everything about this show as HULU and Co. somehow raise the bar yet again. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/themaydaypodcast/support

Serena, Fred, and Nick take the Gilead show on the road to try and prove to the world that none of the horrible true things you've heard about them are true....but we all know how things end up with Stupid Fred in charge don't we? Moira, Luke and Erin lead the VERY unwelcoming party to greet the Stupid Fred and the gang and ultimately foil their evil plans as Nick delivers those Mayday letters and Luke finally "takes care" of something (after Erin suggests it). Meanwhile we get to see Serena choose her own adventure from the Denny's children's intenary and decide whether treason and coconuts are better than a life as a terrible gardener with a wortless husband. Crystal, special guest Angie, and Justin are here to break down all the action....and Fred would have gotten away with it if it wasn't for you meddling American refugees!
