Horse-mating scenes aside, “Silicon Valley” has now really gone beyond the pale.
In Sunday’s episode, tech “maverick” and Hooli founder Gavin Belson (Matt Ross) made use of a “blood boy” — receiving a blood transfusion from a young man in an effort to life-hack his way to the fountain of youth.
As it turns out, the practice depicted in Season 4’s Episode 5 isn’t out of reach in real life.
In the episode, aptly titled “The Blood Boy,” Gavin listens to a presentation from Richard while his “transfusion associate” Bryce (Graham Rogers) sits by his side, supplying him with his young blood.
