Song of the Day: 'Oh Bondage! Up Yours!' by X-Ray Spex

Damian and I making our way through Season 2 of "The Handmaid's Tale" VERY slowly. It's hard enough to watch the real world devolve into something so horrifying that trying to see a fleshed-out version as entertainment is a tough pill to swallow. About the only joy I can derive from it is hearing which song they will play at the end of each episode -- but even this gem from the last episode we watched was bittersweet given singer Poly Styrene's early departure from this world in 2011.

'The Handmaid's Tale' to Get Second Season

From HERE.

Can't say enough about "The Handmaid's Tale," which Damian and I finished watching last night. (I said it before and I'll say it again: It is a documentary about the Republican Party!) Not an awards-show queen, but fully expect it to rightfully sweep the Emmys. That said, now that I know it ends where the book did, I'm even more trepidatious about Hulu's planned second season. Can anyone think of a show or movie based on a book that wound up continuing the story on -- and more importantly, one that didn't suck? 

Breeding Contempt

Anyone else watching this new documentary on Hulu about the GOP platform, called "The Handmaid's Tale"?
