The Guys are definitely a certain age, thought not quite a gilded age. But that didn’t stop them from going a little bit off-genre in this week’s episode as they discuss both seasons of The Gilded Age streaming series on Max. Jokes were attempted about whether or not Art actually knew any of the characters portrayed, but even he is a youngster compared to the fine folks of society in 1880’s New York City.
In this episode, listeners will hear about the battle between new money (the Russells) and old money (the Astors) discussed by “no money” (the Guys). They do, as usual, find a link to geekdom in at least one of the cast members (we see you, Proxima Midnight, in your fancy opera dress). Overall, it’s just a good series about a fascinating period in American History - kinda’ like this podcast.
It’s a pretty exciting week for Geeks of the Week, too, with spaceships landing on the moon and all - unfortunately, the video was better in 1969. Jay invites all the the Borderlands, and Robbie makes another Superman Legacy casting announcement. And is a Thor by any other name just as strong? Jay’s Regrettable Segment tells of a Thor you may not have heard of before. Or care to ever again. Put on your top hat and listen.
