Gentleman Jack Crack - "Do Ladies Do That?" Part I

Explicit content warning

10/29/19 • 125 min

In this installment of #GentlemanJackCrack we heap our eternal gratitude in drunken jaunty spades, onto show creator Sally Wainwright and stars Suranne Jones & Sophie Rundle, as we recap the most emotional episode of Gentleman Jack to date. It’s fair to say that like the Ann(e)s, we are in the “dolefuls”. Whilst we edited it out most of the audible sobbing, some sniffles remain as Terrance was completely unprepared for the intensity of their separation. We talk for hours about the Ann(e)s, their faith, their love, and their grubbles with of course lots of gay screaming, on this really sad- but still jaunty, episode of Gentlemen Jack Crack.

Mentioned in this episode, a performance of “Ne Me Quitte Pas” by Lidisi at the Royal Albert Hall to put you in the mood: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J0-SN7oL6-E

Gentleman Jack Historical Nightcap - Crisis Amidst Endless Thirst & Grubbles: The Legend of Ann Walker Part I

Hey ho! So we’ve actually managed to record an episode that exceeds five hours. Good lord, welp, instead of cutting out any of our drunk and jaunty rambles, we split this #HistoricalNightcap offering into two parts. In this first half, we revisit episode 5 of Gentleman Jack “Let’s Have Another Look at Your Past Perfect” once more, but this time with the invaluable insight of show creator Sally Wainwright. Immediately afterward, in response to a few listener requests, we do a deep dive into Angela Steidele’s book ‘Gentleman Jack: A biography of Anne Lister, Regency Landowner, Seducer and Secret Diarist’, where we discuss some of her controversial assertions and surprising revelations.

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.
