Candide Part 1

Jon, Katie and Sky are joined by special guest Lauren to discuss the 2012 film adaptation of Cloud Atlas. Come for the discussion of Hugh Grant's bad makeup, stay for the five straight minutes of Wishbone fancast chatter. Cloud Atlas, we salute you!

Katie, Lauren and Sky dig deeper into the disturbing world of Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale. We talk about The Ceremony, Serena Joy, and butter skin treatments. Bonus: a very special message about toilet wine.

We start our funniest book yet! Ok just kidding, it's not very funny. In fact it's quite grim. But there's a lot of nice bright red! Tulips, dresses, the blood from the mouth of a hanged man.... like we said, grim. But join us, won't you? Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale becons, like stones in…

Section VII, "Night," and section VIII, "Birth Day." This week Katie, Sky and Lauren spend some quality time with sucky Janine, muse on the possible significance of the word "Larynx," and nerd out about how cool Moira is in that one part. You know the part I'm talking about.
