477: Should You Go For The Gold?

Published: Sept. 20, 2023, 9 a.m.

b'

Al Lowe Huff drags in a portable smelter -- and Dave gets high off the fumes -- for The Gold, a six-part scripted story about the 1983 Brink\'s Mat robbery in the UK. We\'re talking about proportions of process-iness, the class struggle in South London, and how much BAFTA-bait monologuing is too much, before we go Around The Dial with The Other Black Girl, Harry Wild, Whitstable Pearl, and Cagney & Lacey. (And Sean Connery. Don\'t ask.) Then Laura unfurled HER list of reasons we should consider a My Name Is Earl episode for the Canon. Disney won, Jeremy Strong lost, and we tried to connect the TV dots in Game Time. Put your corrupt lawyer on speed-dial for an all-new Extra Hot Great.
