Summary

In the third chunk of mega-chapters of The Handmaid's Tale, Kelly & Molly live to put another suitcase in another hall, shame anyone who doesn't like My Big Fat Greek Wedding, recast Steve Buscemi as the Commander, defy any other Handmaid's Tale podcast to cover as much ground as this one, advise people to avoid catching feelings in a dystopia, call out internalized femme-phobia, clock more sardonic wit from Margaret Atwood, compliment each other on being cute, assure everyone that networking doesn't have to be terrible, and hope that the Hulu adaptation starring Elisabeth Moss & Samira Wiley is really good. All this, PLUS Kelly scares the crap out of Molly, and Molly has no empathy for Scorpios (including Kelly, because Kelly scared her so badly).
