• The Handmaid's Tale - Interview with Max Minghella

  Today, we have the incredible honor of chatting with Max Minghella, fan favorite of our listeners!Max plays Nick Blaine on The Handmaid's Tale, and is another character that's been on the show since Day One. Starting out as the Waterford driver, Nick quickly falls in love with June and they can't seem to quit each other to this day, despite his ascension to Commander and her escape to Canada. So of course we talk all things Nick & June and Nick & Lawrence, his other prominent (B)romance. We also spun off into completely unrelated topics like VCRs and the WWE! We had a great time just chatting with him in our trailer on set in October, and we hope you all enjoy the interview as much as we did.This episode will include spoilers for new viewers as we discuss the show to date, which is through Season 5, Episode 10.And since you enjoy Max’s work so much, be on the lookout later this year for the release of his movie, "Shell," which incidentally also stars Elisabeth Moss, and many other well loved names. And keep an eye out next year for his new role in Season 4 of "Industry," which he's filming now. In the meantime, check out his IMDb to keep you busy until those come out!

• The Handmaid's Tale - Interview with Picture Car Coordinator Glenn Hughes

  Today, we continue our On Set Interview Series by speaking with Glenn Hughes, Picture Car Coordinator on The Handmaid’s Tale! Once again, the show has found us an incredible human being with such a cool job for a new friend.You see cars everywhere on screen, and they set the scene instantly so you know what decade you're working with - or in this case, that you're in a whole new, and wholly terrifying, dystopian society. But have you ever though about where and how they source an entire show's worth of cars? Glenn tells us all about that and so much more - we guarantee you'll be paying a lot more attention to these scene setting (and sometimes stealing) automobiles after this interview. In addition to all the Handmaid's cars (and a plane!), we discussed Stephen King's infamous Christine, Glenn's own recent purchase of his dream car, mani-pedis, and much much more. We hope you enjoy this interview as much as we did!!This episode will include spoilers for new viewers as we discuss the show to date, which is through Season 5, Episode 10.And since you enjoy Glenn’s work so much, be sure to check out Fargo, 11.22.63, and his IMDB page to see all his other amazing work!

• The Handmaid's Tale - Interview with Special Effects Coordinator John MacGillivray

  Today, we continue our On Set Interview Series by speaking with John MacGillivray, Special Effects Coordinator on The Handmaid’s Tale! We went into this interview excited to hear the details behind all the explosions and fires and bombings in The Handmaid's Tale but ended up learning so much more. Special effects is all that, yes, but it's also creating the atmosphere in the colonies, the snow and rain and fog on screen, and just so many more important details that give the show the look and feel it's so famous for. John is the friendliest, most fascinating, and talented man (with yet another incredibly cool job), and we hope you enjoy this interview as much as we did!This episode will include spoilers for new viewers as we discuss the show to date, which is through Season 5, Episode 10.And since you enjoy John’s work so much, be sure to check out his IMDB page to see all the other shows he blows stuff up in!

• The Handmaid's Tale - Interview with Amanda Brugel aka Rita Blue

  Today, we have the incredible honor of chatting with Amanda Brugel, who plays Rita Blue - one of the very first characters we fell in love with on The Handmaid’s Tale, all the way back in the pilot episode. Sarcastic, sassy, stoic - yet also soft-hearted beneath it all - Amanda plays Rita with such depth, a paragraph will certainly not do her performance justice. Neither will half an hour - but we were just so honored Amanda took that time to share with us her beautiful personal experience with Rita. An experience that, incredibly, goes back much farther than the past ten years of making this show! Truly this was one of the most moving interviews we’ve ever conducted. If you're a Handmaid's fan, we know you’ll enjoy her story as much as we did. This episode will include spoilers for new viewers as we discuss the show to date, which is through Season 5, Episode 10.And since you enjoy Amanda’s work so much, be sure to check her out in other shows such as Dark Matter, Pretty Hard Cases, Kim's Convenience, and many many more - take a look at her IMDB page to see them all!
