The Handmaiden & The Cookie Sandwich (Kinda..) with Cai Kagawa

"When I kiss the count will he taste like this?" It’s the erotica episode, sexy scaries! This week we’ve paired the period-piece Korean-Japanese erotic-thriller The Handmaiden (2016) with a frothy, decadent, guilty treat Cookie Sandwich by Erin McKenna's Bakery.With me in the scary studio is Cai Kagawa  aka @estelofimladris - a savant of all things costumes and table-top roleplaying games. Performer, streamer, costume designer and historian, sensitivity and cultural consultant, writer, there are no hats Cai doesn’t wear! If you’ve ever tuned into any of the award winning  TransplanarRPG podcast or any of the amazing actual-plays on the  HappyJacksRPG   network, then you are already very familiar with Cai’s work. You can now catch Cai on their brand new Twitch and YT show ‘Seams Right’ where they analyze and discuss the craft of storytelling through the art of costume making.  Truly we could do a mini-series on just the costumes and the fashion of The Handmaiden alone! Cai and I had a blast dishing about the glorious outfits, the twists and turns, the lust of it all, and the sinister shocking moments of The Handmaiden. Easily one of our top 5 fave “wtf is actually going?’ films. Treat yourself - check out the Handmaiden asap! Speaking of treats, thank you Erin McKenna’s Bakery  @ErinMcKennaBaked   for saving the day. We almost didn’t have a sandwich today! We are blessed by your baked goods brilliance, Erin McKenna.
