Blessed be the fruit! On this all new
episode of The Lettuce Podcast, Laura and Charlotte team up to
discuss the second season of Hulu's The Handmaid's Tale.
They discuss the expanded cast of characters, fictional Gilead's
relationship to the current US political climate, whether they'd like
the story to continue, and more. Charlotte recognizes Offred/June's
new manipulative attitude, and feels for chaste Eden's sad story.
Laura struggles to feel sympathy for Serena, while questioning Aunt
Lydia's life before Gilead. Together they marvel at Emily's strength
in the Colonies, wonder what Nick's fate in Gilead is, and celebrate
Rita's expanded character and personality. Could the Republic of
Gilead really happen? What's June next move? And is Fred Waterford
the biggest jerk to have ever existed? All these subjects and more
are up for debate on this week's episode of The Lettuce Podcast.
For
the Fun & Games segment, Laura puts Charlotte to the test with a
homemade quiz called “Ofbook or Oftv”. Laura lists a series of
plot points from The Handmaid's Tale
and Charlotte decides if they happen in the book or the tv show. They
also play a round of a classic TLP game: Alphabet Sentence.
