Gentleman Jack Crack

CW: discussions on suicide, self harm

Nearly 2 hours to talk about the final 10min of episode 7? Why yes of course, because it was A LOT! Sally delivers an exquisite sequence of events for us to analyze. There's surrealism, magic mirrors, and quite possibly the best 4th wall break so far.

We return from our 3rd and final WHISKERmission with a bit of stalling as we mention a listener's recent inquiry about she-sheds and musings on Anne's first love, Eliza Raine. During the latter half of the episode we discuss Ann Walker, self harm, and known fandom opinions on this aspect of her story. These topics are very intense, please remember to always prioritize your mental health when listening.

Did you enjoy our interview with the Ann Walker Memorial Foundation? We hope so. May it act as a balm to your soul somewhat girding you for this next ridiculous section of our recap of Gentleman Jack episode 7 "Why've You Brought Mariana"... oh wait, is that not the title???

The gals are in London, but Mariana is still on her bullshit. Determined to fight if they're not "going to Italy," everyone's not so favorite ex continues to try and burrow beneath Anne's skin with comment after unsavory comment. We're not gonna lie, there is a lot of goddamn screaming this episode, and there may be a wee bit of singing as we stall in the beginning. Again, sorry to our faves PJ Harvey and Fiona Apple but WE LOVE YOU!

After our GINtermission, we return with part two of this #HistoricalNightcap still sad, but always jaunty. In this back half we get into Anne Choma's brilliant companion book Gentleman Jack: The Real Anne Lister as we breakdown every moment leading up to Ann's departure. Turns out our #PatronSaintofThirst was thirsty as ever and sought to get Anne out of her braies. Captain Sutherland's mum is some how more awful than she appeared on the show, and snowfall makes Aunt Anne "wretched" as she imagines her niece jaunting to Crow Nest.

We also mention that hey, our website is now live! And we've got #GentlemanJackCrack swag available, including our beloved candle that we've gone on about for weeks. Plus we're doing a fundraising thing! In an effort to drive awareness and donations to the Ann Walker Memorial Foundation, we will be donating proceeds from all the merch featuring the "go on fearlessly" mantra, to this incredible and desperately needed organization. We have an interview with the 2 founders releasing soon with more info, but in the mean time, please visit GentlemanJackCrack.com to check some of the merch we have available. There you'll find our #GrubbleGoth & #JauntyAF Collections in addition lots of Ann Walker goodness and of course, vulgar jokes because its us.

It took a while, but it's finally here, and surprise surprise... its another two part episode! In this first half, we break down Sally's script for episode 6 "Do Ladies Do That" and the notes we found inside. Mariana's presence looms, the servants have more drama, and Anne tries to hold her world together while everything around her falls apart. It's another emotional #HistoricalNightcap and much gin was had.

Also, we finally have a website now where merch is actually available! We had way too much fun, and now there are scores of ridiculous things, including a bunch of designs for a collection we’re referring to as #GrubbleGoth- a perfectly apt name for where we are right now in the series.

Another intermission? We know, an excess of jaunt + a torrent of emotions, has resulted in yet another 2 part installment of #GentlemanJackCrack Is this becoming a thing now? Maybe...

Welp, hey ho, and welcome to Part II of our #GentlemanJackCrack recap on episode 6 entitled "Do Ladies Do That." As you might expect, rabid gay screaming continues, along with excessive laughter and more sobbing, as we dissect every frame of this extraordinary episode. Our Patron Saint of Thirst acts as both little spoon and big spoon in the SAME episode, and we’re still not over it.

We also mentioned another pair of IRL queer ladies, Lily Wust & Felice Schragenheim, played exquisitely in the film Aimee & Juguar, by actresses Juliane Köhler & Maria Schrader. Turns out this film is actually on Amazon Prime Video, should you be interested in checking it out. We discovered this after we finished recording, but wanted to make sure everyone was aware that it is available for viewing online.
