Too Old For This Shit #2.7: The Penguin - “Top Hat”

“I, too, was raised by a single mother; we never went on dates!” - Steve

On the penultimate episode of this season of Too Old For This Shit, we’re breaking down episode seven of The Penguin, “Top Hat”! How bone-chilling is that cold open with little Oz and his brothers? Do you think Frances was ever able to rent Beetlejuice? How fantastic is the scene between Frances and Sofia, where Frances surgically cuts into Sofia with her expert-level trash talk? How funny is it to see Julian Rush so excited to do crimes against a kid? So, Frances is a fan of Big Band-style jazz AND Yaz? And how in the hell is this all gonna end? PLUS: More Clancy Brown live-action roles, please!

This series of Too Old for This Shit is covering the first season of the all-new HBO show, The Penguin! All episode drop dates are available on our website, so click through to check the release schedule!

It's a total bummer! Sad to see him go, he was a total class act. - Andrew

No way -- he's too blood-thirsty and eerie to be a DSB! - Andrew

Did Little Penguin not rate as a Disgusting Shit Boy? Curious if Eric had thoughts.

Matthew Kennedy

Completely unrelated to this episode, but is Andrew ok with the Tony Todd news?

The only thing I could think of watching young Oz kind of hit on his Mom, was when WHM did the Shining ep and made the hilarious incest jokes of "Tony" getting rid of Danny to be with Shelly DuVall 😅🤣 Amazing Penguin episode with a wow factor and great coverage boys!

Hearing you guys talk through every episode of this show after I watched it has been nothing short of delightful. <3

For a second, I thought he was going to get stuck down there and start eating fish heads.

I am watching this show with my mom and after this episode I gave her a little kiss on top of the head and said 'ma if I ever get like this I need you to break my neck and never look back' and we had a good laugh about it

I love the idea that Burton invented Batman and R Pat later saw that movie while being sad about dead parents and was like heeeeeeyyyyy....

Winson Paine

Y'all opening with talk about popular song Bitch made something hit about this series that I didn't know I was enjoying until then. The MCU version of this show ends the episode with something like that, which would fit thematically for the ep in a lot of ways but would also emotionally let the viewer off the hook by undercutting the heavy shit and tension with a gag. Gags are fine, I love me a good gag, but I am really loving how this show lets things fuckin sit and gel so I am watching I can give a shit about.

Winson Paine

Everytime I hear "Islands in the Stream", I think of "Ghetto Superstar" from the Bulworth soundtrack. Makes sense since Oz himself is a superstar from the ghetto.

I would imagine Paul Reubens got Burton to direct parts 2 and 3 of a Peewee Herman trilogy.

CharlesGrodin'sToupee

It was a dark and offbeat Super Goof movie.

Mark Ibarra

Stealing from the Animated Series then I guess Tim Burton's The Grey Ghost? ....which might kind of fucking rule

Matt

Thanks, Ry. Glad you’re enjoying them. Hang in there. - Andrew

lol absolutely! - Andrew

Major lol over here. I hadn’t thought of that! - Andrew

If the movie Beetlejuice exists in this world, what the hell movies did Tim Burton direct in 1989/1992?

Hearing the boys sing Bitch first thing in the morning is just what I needed

"What do you expect, Mother? I'm half machine! I'M A MONSTER!"

Felipe Sobreiro

Great episode as always. As for the records Frances listens to, I always figured it was Oz who put them on. Trying to recapture that old feeling he got playing Buster Bluth with his mother. Might be wrong there, but he always seems to encourage it.

Lono's Oboe

“Tf are you doin?? Aww you havin a heart attack on me now?! Cmon!”

Paul

"What kind of little boy snuggles up with his mother to watch Golden Age Hollywood musicals?" "I think we both know the answer to that--a LUCKY boy!"

Michael Daniels

I hate life. But I love these podcasts.
