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!

Gentrification, 1925 Dec 01, 2014

Show notes

Kelly & Tom eviscerate The Painted Veil, which they did not like at all, not one bit. They spend a surprising amount of time discussing Pablo Schreiber as they applaud the way Toby Jones is filmed in this movie, debate how cholera affects the real estate market in rural China, enroll at the Nicole Kidman School of Acting in Sydney, declare themselves Team Yu, explain the proper gifts for various wedding anniversaries, and wish this was a movie about British diplomats deciding where to boff their mistresses. Kelly is disappointed at the film’s total lack of veils, Tom wants a warlord, and both of them reveal that their apartment is not a hedonistic wonderland.

Measlebraten Nov 17, 2014

Show notes

Kelly & Tom make a passionate plea for peace in their recap of the 1930 classic All Quiet on the Western Front. Otherwise, this episode sees the return of the baby brigade, lots of made up German words, a terrifying pair of hands, the only conservatory in the country, the power of a busted face, the burden of love, a derriere, the correct way to make an omelet, and way too many tea cozies. Kelly makes experimental mask films, Tom swears he heard the Goblin King, and everyone pulls together to support Kathy Bates after her acting career tanks.

Psychiatry 403: The Most Dangerous Class Nov 03, 2014

Show notes

The tears are flowing in this recap of The Wind That Shakes the Barley as Kelly & Tom get back on the Empire Exhibition wagon. They try to keep it together and crack jokes about being torn asunder, Tom Branson’s unforgivable cowardice, the difficulty of a consistent Irish accent, the deliciousness of pretzel buns, kangaroo gouging, the merits of Peri Gilpin, and whether it’s possible to hit the knucklepuck. Kelly feels like Bill Paxton at the end of Titanic, Tom is a one-time fan of Johnny Tremain, and everyone is glad this film moves so quickly.

Biff Tannen’s Running The Palm Court Oct 19, 2014

Show notes

Due to the vagaries of travel, Kelly & Tom recap Upstairs, Downstairs S1E2 and find the series growing on them. They struggle to come up with shipping portmanteaus, fail to remember the name of that drunk footman, discuss the logistics of Madonna’s marriage to Guy Ritchie, are shocked by the horrific realities of everyday Fascism, declare Agnes to be the worst, marvel at the servant-of-the-week format, complain about Ivy’s orphanarium, roll their eyes at the definition of “water-ices,” and unexpectedly become members of Team Hallam. Kelly cannot remember Haile Selassie’s name, Tom deals with his Molesley issues, and everyone agrees that Solomon is the power behind the throne.

You Want Wal-Mart, Go To Wal-Mart Oct 06, 2014

Show notes

In an act of fan-service, Kelly & Tom finally dip into the fan-servicey world of 2010’s Upstairs, Downstairs reboot. They agree that Sasha was hotter than Spargo, discuss inappropriate ways to “rock the vote,” reveal Queen Victoria’s secret love of impressions, root for a “Maud & the Monkey” spinoff, wonder what happened between Mrs. Buck and that bannister, and realize that Lena Dunham jokes have a very short shelf life. All this, plus Kelly cannot remember that Nazi’s name, Tom revises his will, and everyone is bummed that they are missing Sadie & the Hotheads East Coast tour.
