The Testaments Discussion Part Two Sep 22, 2023

Show notes

Today we’re discussing The Testaments, Margaret Atwood’s sequel to The Handmaid’s Tale. Atwood published The Testaments in 2019 to immediate critical acclaim, winning the 2019 Booker Prize, and Best Fiction Novel in the Goodreads Choice Awards. The story uses three familiar female narrators to tell the tale of the future of Gilead, with the brunt of the events being set 15 years after the events of The Handmaid’s Tale. In very exciting news for Handmaid's Tale fans, it was recently announced that Bruce Miller is currently adapting the novel for a new television series – well, he was, and he will continue to do so after the Writer’s Strike concludes. In the meantime, join us as we discuss the plot of the novel in great detail, as well as thoughts as to how it might weave into the current state of the events and characters in the television series. We had so many thoughts, in fact, that we decided to split the episode into two parts, so if you missed it, we suggest you listen to Part One first since we cover the plot synopsis in that segment! Next up, we will begin our series of podcast discussions on specific characters and their arcs over the 5 seasons of The Handmaid’s Tale to date. So come back in a couple weeks for our deep dive into the fascinating and badass character of June Osborne! As always, come find us on social media where we post daily content on Instagram and Twitter...errr X.

The Handmaid's Tale - Differences from Book to Screen Aug 25, 2023

Show notes

Today we kick off our new line up of topical episodes with The Handmaid’s Tale: Differences from Book to Screen.
Margaret Atwood published The Handmaid’s Tale in 1985 to immediate critical acclaim. The instant literary classic, which Margaret had initially written in longhand on yellow legal pads, won the 1985 Governor General's Award and the first Arthur C. Clarke Award in 1987, among many others over the years. And it’s now received the latest honor of being banned in many states!

Thirty two years later, Bruce Miller released Season One of The Handmaid’s Tale on Hulu, also to immediate critical acclaim. In addition to its 8 Emmy wins for Season One (from 13 nominations), it became the first drama series on a streaming service to win an Emmy for Outstanding Series. It has continued to collect various award nominations over the next four seasons, and a massive fan base.

Join us as we discuss some of the most notable creative decisions and changes made by Bruce Miller and his team to adapt Margaret Atwood’s literary masterpiece into the ground breaking television show it is. And come back in two weeks for a discussion on her sequel, The Testaments, which we are thrilled to announce is already in the process of being adapted to screen by Bruce Miller. After that we will begin our series of podcast discussions on specific characters and their arcs over the 5 seasons of The Handmaid’s Tale to date.
