Ben and Eric’s Podcast

The Handmaiden || Ep: 107

The Handmaiden is applauded by critics and audiences worldwide. Is it as brilliant as they are claim? Or could it just be a flashy, style over substance shocking movie? Or, could it be, that this movie was made by a perverted old man who self-inserts as the main villain while making two actors have gratuitous lesbian sex for hours on end for "the plot"?
