The movie "The Handmaiden" weaves a deeply intriguing tale about women trying to liberate themselves from a world(view) created and enforced by men, but is it entirely successful in its premise? The movie's final act recedes from the female perspective, and even resolves with a sex scene that is arguably seen from a 'male' lens. Did the movie come up short, or is it all according to plan? What if there's more going on?

Join us as we unwrap and expose the ending's secrets!

Shout out to Innuendo Studios for putting the movie on our radar, and putting us on the trail of questioning the ending. Check out his material here: https://www.youtube.com/user/mrskimps

- - -Welcome to Shell Shock! This is an audio podcast written and created by Stephan and Tabz in a dialogue format. It consists of things that send shivers down our backbone, keep us up at night, things that set fire to our soul and leave a cinnamon taste in our mouth, things that we can hold in the palm of our hands and those we cannot even agree exist.

Not convinced to listen yet? well, there are also bunch of video game endings and movies we love that everyone else seem to hate. So you can also get your dose of drama here.
