Dan: On this episode we discuss House of Gucci.
Elliott: No, Dan, you mispronounced it. The title is (puts on exaggerated Italian accent) HOUSE OF GUCCI!

Official Show Notes[]

Up until now, Audrey has been like one of those sitcom characters who’s oft-referenced, but remains unseen, but now it’s time for her to take the spotlight! Did we mention that Dan married her in November? Mazel tov, etc. And for such a joyous occasion the boys have given themselves a break by watching a movie that many people have goofed on, but they were all pretty sure they’d actually enjoy — Lady Gaga’s accent extravaganza, House of Gucci!

Final Judgments[]

­I think it was too long, I think it could have benefited from someone – a director who was not afraid of being a little sillier.
       —Kinda-Liked (Dan) @1:26:15
­There's whole sections of the movie I don't really care about, but I do really enjoy basically any time Lady Gaga's on screen. I think she's great and makes the movie really fun. And of course the Aldo-Paolo stuff's great.
       —Kinda-Liked (Stuart) @1:27:15
­Everyone's giving it their all, it's a lot of fun
       —Kinda-Liked (Audrey) @1:27:40
­There's flaws in this, and I can recognize the flaws, but yeah, like, the performances are great, the makeup's fantastic, and there's a lot of fun scenes.

Stinger[]

Elliott: Did you guys know that the founder of Gucci was named Guccio Gucci?
Stuart: (quietly) That's fucking sick.
Dan: I didn't know that.
Audrey: Wait, you're kidding right?
Elliott: His first name was Guccio, and there's a lot of Italian names in between, and then his last name was Gucci.
Dan: Oh.
Elliott: And I'm like, "What a country, I love it." (Audrey laughs)
Dan: 'Cause Gucci O'Gucci sounds like an Irish-Italian name.
Elliott: Yeah, yeah, that's (vaguely Irish/Italian accent) Gucci O'Gucci!
