In this episode, the gang tackles the dystopian - but not at all far-fetched- Hulu original series based on the novel by the same name - The Handmaid's Tale. The gang focuses on Offred, the main protagonist of the story and her journey through the book and up through the 4th episode of the second season. They offer their insight, their personal connections, and how this "far-off future" (the book was published in 1985) is not as unrealistic as it might seem, given the way our current government operates. Each host wears their emotions on their sleeves as they recount their experience with this specific series. They also talk about their favorite book-to-screen adaptations, plus much more on this week's episode of Throwdown Thursday!
