Elsie and Max are joined by two special guests to talk about the newly released graphic novel edition of The Handmaid's Tale. The first thirty minutes are spoiler-free!
The Ofcast spends the night with Offred, as Elsie and Max pay witness to three different memories from our hero's shadowed past - what do these flashbacks tell us? How does the delicate art of duck-feeding play into them? And what does an old PlayStation game have to do with anything? Memory Lane becomes a much darker place to visit on the luckiest episode of The Ofcast!
On this happy-go-lucky episode of The Ofcast, Elsie and Max arrive at the most pleasant and positive image described in The Handmaid's Tale so far: public execution! Isn't that wholesome?
As it turns out, Elsie and Max aren't the only ones visiting the Republic of Gilead. In this chapter, Offred comes in contact with a group of tourists from overseas, as a tragic cycle of totalitarian rule is given a proper introduction.
