Weekend Watch: A Gripping New Chapter In The Handmaid's Tale & A Sun-Drenched Rom-Com Escape

If your idea of a perfect weekend involves an Aperol Spritz and a sun-drenched Italian villa, we have a spot-on recco of the film that gives strong Eat Pray Love vibes. From Rege-Jean Page’s posh accents to the whimsical vineyard frolicking, learn why this cheesy rom-com is exactly what the world needs right now.We’re also talking about the return of a series that asks: What if the world’s biggest superheroes were actually the villains?. With the final season officially underway, we discuss the ‘bloody’ stakes for a show that we need more girls to watch.Finally, we return to a familiar dystopian world for a new chapter set 15 years after we last saw June. This sequel focuses on the next generation navigating a chilling regime, and we reveal why this version of the story feels surprisingly more like an "action-adventure" than the original nightmare.Listen to Laura's chaotic story of interviewing Regé-Jean Page and Halle Bailey here.  Read more weekly watch recommendations from the Mamamia entertainment team here. Plus remember The Spill drops the tea twice a day in this feed so follow us for all the latest entertainment news…OR you can WATCH our show in full length video on the Apple Podcast app - make sure your phone is up to date and enjoy the watch!
