The Good evening.

welcome to another episode of the midnight air.

This is a pilot season episode which means I am joined by Lissa Rubin.

Hello. We are going to be talking about tonight the pilot for the Hulu show or was it on FX?

No, it was a Hulu show.

Hulu show, The Handmaid's Tale. Now, you... It was Hulu's first show, I think.

Really? I think it came out in 2017. I have only seen the pilot for this. I am super excited about talking about it. I'm going to do my best to not ask you

questions although I feel like and I wanted to say this to you up top because I

thought about it. The show's been out so long, right?

That if there's something that is said by you or I ask a question that sort of gives away something in season one or you're like

actually they end up becoming like friends whatever I don't care because it's

been out long enough that I think we just have to say like you know there's a difference

between being like oh you're gonna come to really like Brianna Tarth like oh so she

must stick around for a long time and saying like here's what happens at the Red Wedding.

Like so I don't want to know Red Wedding stuff but I'm okay with like knowing more about this and

it was very hard like some of these things that I read because all three episodes were dropped together at the same time when it premiered.

I found that out.

So I know I guess you could have watched more than just the first.

A lot of them were sort of talking about the first three and I just

wanted to know about the pilot. I think the pilot is great. It obviously lacks the resolution that a movie would have,

but it does damn near everything else. that a

solution that a movie would have, but it does damn near everything else that you would want.
