The Grand Gesture

Do Your Job in THE REMAINS OF THE DAY


Listen Later

"We need not a new gadget, but, a revised staff plan, sir."

In which we learn that Anthony Hopkins doesn't believe in toasters... or love before duty, even when he meets Emma Thompson in THE REMAINS OF THE DAY. Our guest is Dave Giannini of OFF SCREEN DEATH who differs from the butler Stevens character by very much believing in gadgets but NOT love.

We mention something along the lines of him being divorced.

Anyway everyone expresses much surprise for the group enthusiasm for such a passionless love story and much gloating is done by dumb Americans giggling at the nobility of Englishmen and one host proves this very point by promising to make love to his wife while listening to this very podcast.

Think about that while you undoubtedly unsubscribe. Enjoy!
