The Palm Court: Wasting All The Peas Apr 13, 2015

Kelly and Tom recap Mr. Selfridge S3E3, which continues this season’s trend of being dark and awesome. Shipping New New Gordon and Fake Doris finally pays off, Mustache gets up to some weird facial hair editing, George Towler continues to live out the plot of “Flowers for Algernon,” and Violette begins the exciting journey of sleeping her way to the bottom! Everyone feels bad that Ma gets stuck with such a crappy storyline, but console themselves with a new signoff and their terrific new startup idea: AirBnB for auctions!

The Palm Court: Life On The Surface Is Harsh Apr 06, 2015

Show notes

Kelly and Tom very nearly have their sign on and sign off sorted out in their recap of Mr. Selfridge S3E2, which is a good thing, because they also have a lot of reactions to what is happening on the show. They are skeptical of the Russians’ Russianness, intrigued by the introduction of Mean Fat Thomas, applaud the fudgy burns of Keebler, wonder how boards of things work, decide that the LeClair’s honeymoon is an Outlander situation waiting to happen, come up with a new name for Conehead, worry that Mr. Crabb is going to off himself, and recount the adventures of the Towler Prowler! No Ellen Love Letters this week, so be sure to write a bunch for upcoming episodes!

The Palm Court: Long Live The New Propeller Mar 30, 2015

Show notes

Kelly and Tom kick off their first podcast spinoff with this recap of Mr. Selfridge S3E1! Despite a severe lack of our Dark Mistress Beatrice and no sign of Lady Mae or BLENKINSOPP, the episode delivers on all the old favorites–plenty of Piven, many mustaches, husbands behaving horribly, Fat Thomas making terrible life choices, the wit and wisdom of the Artful Porter, plus Dorises Classic and Fake. This season looks to be significantly darker than the previous two, on account of things being different than they were before the war, but Kelly and Tom keep it light with their trademark banter and the introduction of both Ellen Love Letters and the Selfridge Awards (aka “The Selfies).

The Once And Future Donk Mar 02, 2015

Show notes

Kelly and Tom recap the S5 Downton Abbey Christmas Special with a non-violent bris and much more! They wonder what will become of Mertobel, wish for an all-McG series 6, get excited about bacon on a turkey, remind Baxter that snitches get stitches, debate the correct plural for “grouse,” celebrate the show’s new Muppet overlords, declare young George the Daniel Baldwin of Downton Abbey, and hand out drinks, Oprah-style. Kelly loses her mind over Matthew Goode, Tom proposes death by nose, and everyone hopes for the return of the stick-poking kid in S3 of Mr. Selfridge.

Knockoff Tamworths Feb 23, 2015

Show notes

In their recap of the penultimate episode of Downton Abbey S5, Kelly and Tom can’t quite believe how little actually happens. Thankfully, they do manage to spend 2.5 hours talking about it, banging out several new portmanteaus, ragging on Denker from the block, making a lot of Rebecca jokes, pulling a Gilly, wondering about taking a “raisinette” to the train station, suggesting that Thomas hang out in Weimar Germany for a bit, chastising the Downton haters, and speculating about Edith’s marital prospects. Kelly offers an update on wedding customs and tradition in 1924, Tom lays out the awfulness of the Amritsar massacre, and no one is made of snakes.

Actually, It’s About Ethics In Baby-Stealing Feb 16, 2015

Show notes

Yes, Kelly & Tom get very weepy about a certain canine’s illness in this recap of Downton Abbey S5E7. They are not made of stone. They also manage to share two separate Edith/Gregson AUs that suck less than the actual canonical storyline, accuse Rosamund of going a hat too far, speculate about the trainability of dachshunds, wonder again what happened to fun, casual sex-having Rose, laugh and laugh about the pronunciation of “kinema,” try to figure out how MLF is spending her copious free time, and start a band called Dickie Merton and the Sinderbys. Kelly delves into the many complicated relationships of John Barrymore, Tom paints a picture of Hong Kong in the 1920s, and everyone agrees that UYDS needs its own Alastair Bruce.
