Up Yours, Downstairs! A Downton Abbey Podcast

The podcast that watched Downton Abbey so you didn’t have to is still going! Just like your favorite British period piece, but with more feelings and swears! Bask in the glory of Dame Maggie Smith as hilarious Anglophiles Kelly Anneken & Amy Schneider explore the class struggle, history, fashion, and the art of staring wistfully into the middle distance on Downton Abbey, The Crown, Mr. Selfridge, Peaky Blinders, every Titanic film ever made, Pride & Prejudice, and much more!

Family Meeting: The Boy Who Couldn’t Stop Getting Older Aug 03, 2015

Show notes

Kelly and Tom are BACK with a brand-new recap of Peaky Blinders S2E1. Refreshed and ready to ally themselves with Tom Hardy, they are thrilled to see Cillian cosplaying as Scarecrow/Dr. Jonathan Crane, Ada back in top bitchy form, post-war spiritualism at its shadiest, the replacement of Not Churchill with someone who actually resembles Churchill, the awesomeness of Esme, and the blessed lack of any singing from Grace. Kelly doesn’t like this tooth-pulling scene as much as the one on The Americans, Tom has a lot of opinions on Steve!Knight’s CD collection, and they both continue to struggle with Sam Neill’s elusive accent.

Family Meeting: The Clang’s the Best Part Jul 13, 2015

Show notes

Open that bottle of champagne as Kelly & Tom wrap up their coverage of Peaky Blinders S1 with this recap of E6. They invent the term “laundrobrothel,”roll their eyes at Comrade Baby’s actual name, unexpectedly warm to Moss, applaud Mumper and Esme’s general approach to life, enjoy what is possibly the show’s very best scene, hope God gives everyone a moral exception like he does to Jeremiah, pitch a Nick Cave podcast, and make fun of Grace’s singing one last time. Kelly starts “the final countdown,” Tom tries to figure out how to deal with a cliffhanger, and everyone loses their Sam Neill accent (almost).

Family Meeting: Good Call, Pathological Liars Jul 06, 2015

Show notes

In their recap of Peaky Blinders S1E5, Kelly & Tom can hardly believe they’re already covering the penultimate episode of series one. They worry about Comrade Baby’s welfare, feel absolutely gutted by Arthur, accidentally call Cillian by his character name, speculate whether Sam Neill and Scarface have ever been seen in the same place at the same time, wonder when Finn started drinking, and get back to the most important work of all: making fun of Grace’s terrible singing. Kelly antagonizes Jake Lloyd for no reason, Tom can’t adequately parse the word tinker, and everyone apologizes for the audio quality of the first 9 minutes of the episode.

Family Meeting: The Scudboats Are Coming Jun 29, 2015

Show notes

Kelly and Tom find themselves alone again (naturally) for their recap of Peaky Blinders S1E4, which sees Steve!Knight get a new CD, the semi-return of Sam Neill, a fish with a terrible hat, Cillian’s ill-advised hiring criteria, one of the shows most emotional scenes, plus here a Lee, there a Lee, everywhere a Lee-a-Lee. Kelly wonders how hard it would be to quit sex work, Tom proposes a memoir title, and regrettably, everyone forgets to make fun of Grace’s singing.

Family Meeting: The Third Glass Is The Singing Glass Jun 22, 2015

Show notes

Kelly and Tom are joined by fellow podcaster Lauren Parker for their recap of Peaky Blinders S1E3. They chat about Fire Street, whine about the relative lack of Sam Neill, wonder if Ada has matured at all since the age of 9, debate whether Freddie Thorne or Arthur Shelby wears their terrible haircut better, clarify the difference between Scotch and Irish whiskey, take Cillian Murphy very seriously, and make fun of Grace’s singing even though Grace doesn’t sing at all in this episode. Kelly demands Charles Bronson, Tom incorrectly describes Birmingham’s location, and Lauren wants everyone to focus on the class struggle and shut up!

Family Meeting: How Can You Have Any Pudding If You Don’t Eat Your Chalk? Jun 15, 2015

Show notes

Kelly and Tom are joined this week by the very manly Lee Keeler to recap Peaky Blinders S1E2, and that means three dueling impressions of Sam Neill’s insane accent! They pay homage to the Hops Council, explain the plot of Spartacus, try to decipher the meaning of “Diddicoy,” suggest that Aunt Pol start her own ob/gyn,theorize about the Lee clan’s first names, and continue to make fun of Grace’s singing. Kelly hopes to find Hemingway’s secret diary, Tom makes fun of Steve Knight!’s CD collection, and Lee channels Saving Private Ryan to fill in details of a key episode death.

Family Meeting: The Zoidberg Of The Shelbys Jun 08, 2015

Show notes

In the premiere episode of their Peaky Blinders podcast, Kelly & Tom cover S1E1 in stripped down, very manly fashion. They are pleased to report that there is more diversity in a single episode of Peaky Blinders than in an entire five seasons of Downton Abbey, plus Cillian Murphy. They also have more to say about horses than usual, make fun of Grace’s singing and Sam Neill’s everything, express their disappointment in the show’s lone communist, get turnt up for the Sorrowful Mysteries, and point out that Winston Churchill really doesn’t look like himself. Kelly gets amped up about opium, Tom prescribes Adderal for Monaghan Boy, and everyone once again takes this opportunity to talk smack about Titanic BS.

The Palm Court: Next Stop: Oz May 18, 2015

Show notes

Kelly & Tom wrap up Mr. Selfridge S3E9 and E10 in this supersized recap (thanks to Viking River Cruises, we assume). They identify the YouTube commenters of post WWI Britain, make merciless fun of Gordons Dumb, New, and New New, cheer Mr. Crabb’s vulgarity, explore the limits of the Defence of the Realm Act, ask important questions about a certain family’s barbecue, and try to get a baccarat prescription. Kelly talks about opium far too much,Tom tries to explain about Sam Neill, and everyone fervently prays for the return of Our Dark Mistress Beatrice Selfridge in Series 4.

The Palm Court: A Chia Pet That Didn’t Work May 10, 2015

Show notes

Kelly & Tom say well-done Eyeliner in their recap of Mr. Selfridge S3E8. They speculate about monogamy amongst cavemen, root actively for Faircut and against Ceorge, wonder if Loxley’s new cronies are just Neil Gaiman characters in the wrong story, cheer as Fake Doris serves up some serious working class realness, wonder what the heck Gerrard does all day, harken back to the psychic powers of the Earl of Grantham, and continue to talk smack about New New Gordon’s kissing technique. Kelly gets her Dalek on, Tom wishes for a Selfridge/Mad Men crossover, and everyone agrees that love rarely conquers anything.

The Palm Court: Buddy Hackett Is Just Imaginary May 04, 2015

Show notes

Eyeliner rides again (in a new car!) as Kelly & Tom recap Mr. Selfridge S3E7. They reveal the first rule of baby daddy club, offer shares in Pets.Commissary, declare themselves fans of Regan, give some admittedly useless marital advice to Harry & Rose, grant Matthew Crawley a surprise cameo, kick a cokehead out of their apartment, and demand The Continuing Adventures of Haircut. Kelly plugs her (fake) one-woman show, Tom plugs his (fake) new podcast, and they both hope to be rewarded for their excellent production values.
