- 22: Bruce Miller + Feedback for "Safe" (S5E10)
In addition to some listener feedback about The Handmaid’s Tale season 5 finale, here’s an interview with the brilliant Bruce Miller, showrunner of The Handmaid’s Tale. Surprise!
We talked about:
• How culpable (or not) Serena was in the creation of Gilead
• What it was like for Yvonne Strahovski to play different sides of Serena this season
• Yvonne’s relationship with Elisabeth Moss
• Whether the show might give us more backstory on Mark Tuello in the future, and the nature of the relationship between Mark and Serena
• Bradley Whitford directing an episode this season
• How the directors, writers, actors, sound designers, and others work together to create the show
• What Bruce wants music to accomplish in the show
• Whether Wendy was right that Nick punching Lawrence in the face was staged
• The nature of Nick and Rose’s relationship
• How situations in the real world can inspire the story of the show
• His thoughts on Mrs. Wheeler
• What kind of show he’d like to produce next
• And more!
Thanks so much to all of you who watched and listened along with us this season. We love you guys! We may be back for some bonus episodes between seasons, and otherwise, we’ll definitely see you for season 6. Cheers :)

Everyone’s reaching for their goals this ep, as Serena clashes with Mrs. Wheeler (aka Serena 2.0) and then makes a break for it, the United States attempts a raid on Hannah’s “wife school”, and Lawrence makes a proposal.

For anyone who’s favorite character was Commander Warren Putnam (so, that’s no one), this was a sad episode. We were fascinated seeing how Luke handled a bit of the Gilead treatment, and Serena too, for that matter.

A bit of a quieter episode this week, but no less enthralling, with events that we suspect will loom large over the remainder of the series, like June connecting with a certain rebellious group and Serena getting a new job. Plus, some fireworks between Serena and Mark (so you know Wendy is happy).

By her f#@%ing hand, we (Daphne, Wendy, and Jason) are back and thrilled to be podcasting about The Handmaid’s Tale again, and to have all of you watching and listening along with us! Some surprising twists and turns in this first episode as the season begins to take shape.
Here are some quick video recaps of the first four seasons in case you need a refresher. We didn’t make these, but we watched them to get caught up.

We’re beyond thrilled to welcome The Handmaid’s Tale showrunner Bruce Miller to the podcast. Unsurprisingly, he was a pleasure to talk to, and of course had a lot of fascinating things to say about the making of this incredible show.
A few of the things we talked about:
• Margaret Atwood’s involvement in the series
• The attention to detail that goes into creating the world of Gilead
• An answer to people who say the show is too brutal
• Whether he can get into the heads of every character
• His thoughts on our podcast
• And much much more!
Enjoy!

Wow. WOW! What an incredibly intense finale. Dark? Yes. Cathartic? We thought so.
We had such a great time podcasting about Handmaid’s Tale this season - because of the high quality of the show, and because of all the fantastic engagement with you guys! Thanks for being a part of it all with us, and we’ll see you for season 5.
Next on House Podcastica: Our next series will be the upcoming Disney+ show, What If? Which explores how the MCU would be altered if certain events had occurred differently, like if Loki wielded Thor's hammer. It’s an animated show, beautifully done by the looks of the teaser trailer, and features Westworld’s Geoffrey Wright as The Watcher (kind of this show’s Rod Serling) and a bunch of the Marvel move actors like Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston, Sam Jackson, Michael B. Jordan, Jeff Goldblum, Karen Gillan, Josh Brolin, and a bunch more. Looks like even Chadwick Boseman did one before he passed away. So, if you’re watching that, we’ll be there to help you geek out on it :) It comes out in August so we might cover a movie or two in the meantime.

So fascinating to see how June’s presence in Canada impacts the people around her — Luke, Fred & Serena, Emily and the women of the support group. Even with June safely out of Gilead, the show is as captivating — and troubling — as ever, with no easy answers, but lots to talk about.

Another intense, incredible, unpredictable episode this week. At times way darker than we realized it would be once June got to Canada (but we should have known, right?), and of course there was that immensely satisfying scene we’ve all been waiting for. At last, indeed.
