Gentleman Jack Historical Nightcap - Dolefuls Aplenty: Heartbreak, Family, and Insatiable Desire at Crow Nest Part II

Explicit content warning

11/19/19 • 102 min

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.

Previous Episode

Gentleman Jack Historical Nightcap - Dolefuls Aplenty: Heartbreak, Family, and Insatiable Desire at Crow Nest Part I

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. You can head on over to GentlemanJackCrack.com to see what we’re talking about.

Next Episode

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

Well friends and Grubbleteers, we're finally here! You are at the beginning of our most epic, most RIDICULOUS recap yet, which seems fitting for what's definitely (at least for us) the most infamous episode of season one of Gentleman Jack. We've managed to accrue an entire days worth of "mans work" content, which will be spread across 5 total episodes. Parts 1-4, with a special interlude episode featuring an interview with the incredible founders of the Ann Walker Memorial Foundation placed in the middle.

In this first part, we actually start off feeling pretty damn jaunty as our favorite version of Anne, "Dirty-Business Anne Lister" comes 'round for another visit. She valiantly defends Marian, get's in Christopher's face, and then makes him her son. WE'RE STILL NOT OVER IT!!! Grab a drink, or several, and join us for this Iliad length penultimate recap.
