No matter how many times I listen to this episode, my heart always aches for Gerry
gasbolina
“Christ I need a cigarette” damn right yeah same, I say, as I’m chain smoking through this whole episode. Jesus christ!!!!
Lydia Eiche
Gerry is my fav
Dan
Man I love the dynamic between these two! Shame that he wasn’t in more episodes, but I liked how things ended
George Sulea
Thank You!
Gilligan Mungus
Hi George. I typed up the list and posted it under the episode discussion thread on Magnus’ subreddit.
Rusty Quill
We're aware of the metadata issue and it will be corrected. Seems like the Distortion kept playing with the edit...
AlmavivaConte
Great episode! Saw that the dead air at the end is gone, but it looks like the metadata in the file that's up now (link MAG_111_Family_Business_V3.0.mp3, filename 2N5HWyO6ynPPXl-u4oj_uAug5Nsk8kNSU9fIo3Cj3KIo2VyPR4OjhcqrI9Bzt5eB.mp3) is from 108 - Monologue (ID3 tag still shows that title and track number).
George Sulea
Really great episode; well done! A favor, could someone please enumerate The 14 Powers?
Heather MacKenzie
My new favorite dead person is Gerard. That final goodbye about killed me though. He's the most human out of them all. Also, we have a list!
Laura Hill
Wow. That drew together a few threads. I'm gonna have to listen again just to process everything, but damn. Poor Gerard. "I always wanted my friends to call me Gerry... " You bastards, I was not expecting to tear up.
Lil Dodecee
No worries, I was just wondering if I missed anything
Rusty Quill
Interesting theory.
Rusty Quill
Yeah, sorry about that - a small editing error that we've corrected for the public release.
Gilligan Mungus
I’d imagine that’s because we’re fortunate enough to get the episodes a day early and by the time they release it to everyone else later today that dead space will be edited out.
Kat Munn
Sooo - the page Mary gave Gertrude was Gerard’s dad?
Wren Griffin-Harrigan
Good lord, poor Gerry. Jon better put that poor boy to rest, he's done enough.
Nebu-chad-nezzar
Mind. Absolutely. Blown. This made so much sense in such a sickening way.
Lil Dodecee
Is there a reason there's 5min of dead air at the end? I listened through it expecting for some after the credits thing to happen but didn't hear anything.
Gilligan Mungus
So much wonderful information! Jonny please don’t let Jon welch on his promise. He needs to burn Gerard’s page. That poor guy. I’m still hoping for Gertrude and Mary having been a couple at some point and Gerard was essentially their son. Fingers crossed.
Mark Sutton
This episode was awesome at all levels. Like other people have said, Gerard is a great character, and there's so much lovely background here (more than I honestly expected to get from a series that draws so heavily on cosmic horror motifs). Can't wait to see where it goes from here.
Zed Em
I've been waiting for my boy Gerard forever and this was *so good*. Awesome and nuanced performance from Jon Gracey, thank you so much!
Crowbi
I have to admit I was looking forward to listen to Gerard so much and this is amazing. So so good.
Joshua Pittman
WOOOOOOOO Magnificent!
alexa
That was really amazing! The character we've all been waiting for, and he was every bit as amazing as I hoped he would be, and more! And the episode really managed to hit the emotional beats just right. Just great acting all around! And now I have something in my eye...
Hal
This is one of the best episodes to date I'm dying. Info dumps can be so hard to keep interesting but damn it I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. Also that new va!! Thank you Jon Gacey you were superb.
