Hi friends!! We are back today with our last show from our Summer Series - the final discussion of Wednesday, Season 2 on Netflix.
Come back soon for our return to our normal format, with a weekly discussion of one episode a week - we will be announcing the next show soon!
Hi friends! Today we have a special discussion for you on our first ever documentary series, Long Way Home, starring Ewan McGregor and his lovely friend Charley Boorman! All 10 episodes are available now to stream on Apple TV+.
If you're interested in travel, road trips, motorcycles, unique sports, beautiful scenery, and a charming friendship, this show is for you! It was such a delight to watch together and discuss, and we hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
Come back soon for our final episode discussion on the second half of Wednesday, and then look out for an announcement about our next standard format, week-to-week series in the fall!
Hi friends! Today we've got our final discussion of Season 1 of The Institute on MGM+. It has been renewed so we will be back for Season 2 one day in the hopefully not too distant future!
In the meantime, in the pipeline this week is a surprise episode discussing our first documentary - Ewan MacGregor's Long Way Home (because who doesn't love Ewan MacGregor). And then we will drop our discussion on the final half of Season 2 of Wednesday. But more than anything, we are most excited to be returning soon to our usual format of one episode a week, spanning the whole season of a show - and that show will be announced soon!
Hi friends! Just dropping a bonus episode for our summer series today - decided to do a quick discussion of Episodes 5 & 6 of The Institute on MGM+ since we're enjoying it so much. We will be back in the next few weeks with a discussion on the final episodes of The Institute, and another episode discussing the back half of Wednesday (on Netflix) in the next month. And then, come October-ish, we will return to our usual format of weekly discussions of single episodes of a single new show. Hope everyone is having a wonderful summer in the meantime!
Hi friends!! We are back today with another show from our Summer Series - intended to be a little less time consuming since we're all so busy this summer. Today we're discussing the first half of Wednesday, which dropped on Netflix this past...Wednesday. Appropriate! We had a surprise last minute substitution on this one who enjoyed podcasting one of her favorite shows and bringing us her perspective from a whole different generation!
Come back in September for our discussion on the last four episodes of Wednesday, which drop on Netflix on September 3rd. And in the meantime, we highly recommend watching The Institute on MGM which we're enjoying immensely - we'll be podcasting the second half of that season as soon as it finishes in a few weeks.
And then come fall, we will of course be back to our normal format, choosing one new show to follow and discuss an episode every week! In the meantime we hope you're all having a wonderful summer!
Hi friends!! We are back today with another show from our Summer Series - intended to be a little less time consuming since we're all so busy this summer. Today we're discussing the first half of The Institute which is coming out weekly on MGM+. The Institute stars Mary Louise Parker and Ben Barnes, and is based on a novel by Stephen King. It's also produced by one of our favorite companies, Take 5 Productions. We're really enjoying it so far so consider checking it out if you haven't yet!
Take 5 Productions also post produces Wednesday, whose first half of Season 2 drop next week - so come back soon for our discussion on those first 4 Wednesday episodes, and then again for the back half of The Institute once that finale has dropped! Come fall, we will be back to our normal format, choosing one new show to follow and discuss an episode every week! In the meantime we hope you're all having a wonderful summer!
Hi friends!! Today we have a bit of a change of pace for you - since there weren’t many exciting weekly release shows coming out in the summer months, we decided to add single podcast discussions on a few summer shows to our repertoire to mix things up in this vacation heavy and television light season. We plan to return to our usual format of weekly episode discussions of a single show in the fall.
So please enjoy the first show of our Summer Series - a discussion on Season 3 of Ginny & Georgia on Netflix! Check back soon for our next show announcement!
Hi friends! Today we have our third special episode from our Meta Mini-Series wrapping our discussions on The Handmaid’s Tale on Hulu. The many panelists on our podcast who had thoughts they still wanted to share on the ending and all six seasons of the show have put together their thoughts in these epic final discussions. This third episode of three is entitled, “Redemption Arcs and TV/Book Comparisons,” though it spans MANY topics throughout the discussion. As this is our final episode ever discussing The Handmaid’s Tale, please forgive the length, and simply skip this one if you’re over thinking about this show!
After this one, we’ll be back to our regular fun and lighter episode discussions with our summer series of single episodes on different summer television show releases, starting with Ginny & Georgia in two weeks! We hope you join us.

Hi friends! Today we have a second special episode for you guys. The many panelists on our podcast who have not yet had a chance to weigh in on the ending of the show have put together a series of episodes for you that we’re calling a Meta Mini-Series. This second episode of three is entitled, “Social and Political Themes of The Handmaid’s Tale on Hulu”.
The Handmaid’s Tale book has been hailed as a literary classic as well as an important cautionary tale that has become ever more relevant every year since the book’s publishing in 1985. The show’s creation in 2016 felt especially timely, and many have sought to use the striking visuals and symbolism of the show as a representation for feminism. The recent finale of the show has left audiences torn on whether this ended as a good message of feminism, or a message gone astray. This episode will address many of the events and messages of the show as it relates to that discourse, as well as the history that has come before it, and the politics that have, and will continue to influence the world as we know it.
Please come back next week for a third and final episode in this Meta Mini-Series to wrap our years of podcasting The Handmaid’s Tale. And then we’ll be moving on to podcast a new show on this platform in the very near future – we hope you stick around! And follow us on Instagram at @tht_abovethegarage to see our new gift shop and our new show announcement coming soon!
Hi friends! Today we have a special topical episode for you guys. The many panelists on our podcast who have not yet had a chance to weigh in on the ending of the show have put together a series of episodes for you that we’re calling a Meta Mini-Series. This first episode is entitled, “Nick & June Final Character Analyses” and will, obviously, cover an in depth analysis of the characters of both Nicholas Blaine and June Osborne, from The Handmaid’s Tale television show on Hulu.
From the pilot episode through the last season of The Handmaid’s Tale, the relationship between Nick and June has been an especially compelling storyline that has brought in, and maintained, many thousands of viewers. It was not just that relationship that kept us coming back though, but the individual characters of both of them that meant so much to us for so long. Listen as our friends from across the world not only provide an in depth analysis of these characters, but also share their personal journeys with them and this story that has finally come to a close after nearly a decade.
Please come back next week for a second episode in this Meta Mini-Series, and there will be at least one or two after that one as well, to wrap our years of podcasting The Handmaid’s Tale. And then we’ll be moving on to podcast a new show on this platform in the near future – we hope you stick around! Come follow us on Instagram at @tht_abovethegarage for that announcement and lots more content!
Hi friends...Here's our discussion of Episode 610 of The Handmaid's Tale. We will be back with a few more Meta episodes about specific topics on Handmaid's and then on to a new show, which we will announce soon! As always, thank you so much for listening.
Today, we have the hilarious and high honor of chatting with Bradley Whitford, who once again needs no introduction. But just for kicks…
Bradley plays recently promoted (though we prefer to say Knighted) High Commander Joseph Lawrence, the economic mind behind the origin of Gilead - but also the funniest Commander in the land. And happily, a man who found the inspiration in rebellious handmaids like Emily and June to be a better person in the end.
In addition to The Handmaid’s Tale, Bradley will probably already be very familiar to you after appearing in hit after hit on our screens for literal decades. From Adventures in Babysitting in the 80s to Billy Madison, Scent of a Woman, Philadelphia and so many more amazing films in the 90s to his iconic run on West Wing in the aughts, and on through today - he’s just never stopped absolutely crushing the assignment every chance he gets. Most importantly, be on the lookout for his latest turn in “For Worse,” written and created by his incredible wife, Amy Landecker!
This episode will include spoilers for new viewers as we discuss the show to date, which is through Season 6, Episode 9. And please come find us on Instagram if you haven't yet @tht_abovethegarage
Hi friends…Here’s our discussion about Episode 609 of The Handmaid’s Tale. We’ll be back with a similar series finale discussion next week with Kimberley, Aubrey, and Kate - and then a follow up META episode for the rest of our group members to process the ending of this show.
And please check back very soon for a NEW show on THIS platform - we hope you stick with us to talk about new shows!! And please come find our extra content posted daily on Instagram at tht_abovethegarage!
Today, we have the unbelievable honor of chatting with Ann Dowd, yet another woman who absolutely requires no introduction!
But just for good measure, Ann plays Aunt Lydia Clements, the primary “Aunt” in the show, in charge of the management, care, and occasional torture of the handmaids. Ann’s portrayal of this complicated woman often takes her from moments of endearment to acts of violence in mere seconds on screen and she portrays each side of the spectrum (and everything in between) flawlessly and with such passion the audience is absolutely enraptured with her. She has won an Emmy for her performance of this role but perhaps the highest compliment for her portrayal is the fact that after seeing Ann as Lydia in the show, Margaret Atwood wrote a sequel to The Handmaid’s Tale that largely focuses specifically on the character of Aunt Lydia. I’m not sure it gets more flattering than that. In addition to The Handmaid’s Tale, Ann has acted in so many beloved movies and television shows over the decades, from Green Card and Philadelphia in the 90s to Mass and The Leftovers more recently. She’s an absolute legend and we are so honored to have been granted her time and attention – she is the absolute LOVELIEST. We hope you enjoy it too.
This episode will include spoilers for new viewers as we discuss the show to date, which is through Season 6, Episode 8.

Today, we have the incredible honor of chatting with Elisabeth Moss, a woman who absolutely requires no introduction!
But just for good measure, Elisabeth (aka Lizzie) plays the star of the show, June Osborne, the primary “handmaid” referenced in the title - in all six seasons of The Handmaid’s Tale to date and is Emmy nominated year after year for her performance of June. We love this badass heroine and the absolutely wonderful actress behind her more than we can tell you. So we really hope you enjoy our (lengthy!) chat as much as we did! It was truly an honor to spend such a long time with Lizzie, and we hope she comes back again after it’s all said and done so we can really talk about EVERYTHING.
This episode will include spoilers for new viewers as we discuss the show to date, which is through Season 6, Episode 3.
