Gentleman Jack Historical Nightcap - Anniana: A Saga of Sapphic Ennui Part I

Explicit content warning

04/05/20 • 99 min

Hey ho Grubbleteers & greetings from Quarantine! It's been way too long, and we've missed you. Since you last heard from the us the world has changed rather drastically, but what hasn't changed is just how much Mariana makes us scream. And while we may have suffered through a half dozen emotional crisis to get here, the point is, we made it! We're here at the start of our most epic #HistoricalNightcap yet, the story of Anniana. The grubbles, the fights, the infidelity, the betrayals- we explore it all in this next series from #GentlemanJackCrack

But FIRST, some news. A few pretty amazing things happened towards the end of the 2019 that some of you may already know about. Suffice to say, our volume gets excessive and the gin bottle emptied with nary a gaucherie in site.

As always, we love to hear from you. Feel free to reach out and follow us on all the things for daily talk of grubbling @gentlemancrack @gentlemanjackcrack

Gentleman Jack Crack - "Why've You Brought That?" Part IV

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.

Gentleman Jack Historical Nightcap - Anniana: A Saga of Sapphic Ennui Part II

Good lord! Two hours in and we're still not done breaking down Sally's script. During part two of the Anniana Saga, we finally complete the segment after taking many tangents, and give a quick run through of what's to come in the Diary Entries segment. Along the way we discover a number of intriguing deleted lines including an alternate argument between Anne and Mariana, as well as a different ending to the confrontation between Christopher Rawson and Anne. Somehow the latter meeting is even jauntier than what we saw on screen!
