477: Should You Go For The Gold?

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.GUESTS👤 Allison Lowe HuffTOPICSLead Topic: 🥇 The GoldAround The Dial: 👧🏾 The Other Black GirlAround The Dial: 🐻 Harry WildAround The Dial: 🦪 Whitstable PearlAround The Dial: 👮🏻‍♀️ Cagney And LaceyThe Canon: 📜 My Name Is Earl S02.E05: Van HickeyWinner & Loser: 👍 DisneyWinner & Loser: 👎 Jeremy StrongGame Time: 🔌 Also ConnectSUPPORT THE SHOW🔥 Join the EHG Club for bonus episodes, no ads, community Discord and more!🛍️ Shop our merch store!NOTES🗒 Full episode notes can be found on the episode 477 page on ExtraHotGreat.com👑 Dave summons The Gold into existence in EEHG 017🏛️ Tara's review of Krapopolis🏚️ Sarah's review of Amityville: An Origin Story📷 Photo: Sally Mais / Tannadice Pictures / Paramount+
