The Palm Court: Lizard Prison Jun 02, 2014

Show notes

It’s time to close the doors on S2 of Mr. Selfridge, but not without one last recap from Kelly & Tom. They wonder how many tricks Fat Thomas turned to pay for Agnes’ engagement ring, hope Eyeliner will include more store windows next year, guess wildly at Mrs. Selfridge’s never explained diagnosis, tell Mr. Grove to slow his ginger roll, speculate on the size of Loxley’s lizard, celebrate “I’m Glad I’m Rich Day,” give Ma Selfridge a new nickname, and order up some steamed Plunkett for lunch. All this, plus Kelly thinks about “Circle of Friends” again, Tom provides Cultural Cliffs Notes, and everyone hopes the next series jumps to the end of WWI because we’re all sick to death of the trenches! See everyone in two weeks for the kickoff of the UYDS Empire Exhibition!

The Palm Court: That Cravat Is Unacceptable! May 26, 2014

The Palm Court: The International Brotherhood of Magical Mannequins May 19, 2014

Show notes

As the finale rapidly approaches, Kelly & Tom can’t wait to see what happens next. In the meantime, their recap of Mr. Selfridge S2E8 covers a variety of not-entirely awful American accents, the Rhett Butler of the West End, New Gordon’s unrelenting dweebiness, a message from the Tillie Foundation, how to succeed in business (if you’re Delphine), trucks full of eyeliner, a creepy, knuckle-eating lizard, royalty payments to the Red Hot Chili Peppers, the intricacies of Bootgate, refugee stuff, and the possibility that Kitty Hawkins is actually a living doll. Kelly plans to change her name, Tom sums up the entirety of Are You Being Served? in a single sentence, and they both advocate strongly for the asterisk technique.

The Palm Court: A Spitting Mad Weasel May 12, 2014

Show notes

Kelly & Tom are completely Crabbestruck in their recap of Mr. Selfridge S2E7. They also get paid by the Oliver! reference, confirm that Beatrice sees all, cheer Agnes’ excellent relationship skills, hope for the return of that stick-poking kid, get completely squicked out by Mr. Grove’s urges, declare The Plunkett to be Edwardian tech support, and are disappointed by Monsieur LeClair for the first time. Kelly refuses to sing Big Bill Summertime’s song, Tom wants some Bovril curry, and no one should ever take a bath.

The Palm Court: The Charlie Chaplins of the Sky May 05, 2014

Show notes

Kelly & Tom laugh at a lot of inappropriate moments in their recap of Mr. Selfridge S2E6. They also christen a Conehead, launch the good ‘ship Malorian, tell Monsieur LeClair to get his shit together, provide ill-informed book reviews, beg Beyonce to write a song about women of independent means, bet on Kitty Hawkins in a rap battle, lament the total lack of sexual chemistry between Delphine and Harry, and have a Doris Classic sighting. Kelly makes Tom laugh really hard, Tom hates the Victorian era, and everyone finally learns what’s up with those weird British bank notes.

The Palm Court: Look Out, Royal Baby! Apr 28, 2014

Show notes

Kelly & Tom go back to the tea emporium in their recap of Mr. Selfridge S2E5, but they can only podcast while riding a bus that’s pulling away. They meet the Artful Porter, suspect Eyeliner of being a Bond villain AND Judi Dench, realize that all violins look like a naked lady’s back, fall in love with Mr. Crabbe, get excited to dine at Fat Thomas’s fictional restaurant, and worry that someone might try to kill WWI era Germans during WWII by mistake. Kelly busts out her McG impression, Tom is not being paid by Snacky Smores, and everyone is well aware that the poker game is no limit.

The Palm Court: Can I Bring My Own Dance Belt? Apr 21, 2014

Show notes

Kelly & Tom deliver yet another AP English-heavy recap for Mr. Selfridge S2E4. They declare Rose to be the Columbus, OH of people, demand more screentime for Lurch, speculate about Beatrice’s claim to immortality, find themselves fascinated by the Horny Chocolatier, identify French slut-shaming as the glue that held the British Empire together, wonder why New Gordon is 34, and try to keep Fat Thomas from sticking his fat nose in places. Kelly explains the finer points of retail hierarchy, Tom looks at Young Indiana Jones, and everyone struggles to pronounce “Gio.”

The Palm Court: If Carmen Sandiego Could See Us Now Apr 14, 2014

Show notes

In their recap of Mr. Selfridge S2E3, Kelly & Tom are shockingly won over by Mr. Grove’s gettin’ it done montage, find New Gordon’s pornography unimpressive, discuss how tigers like their afternoon tea, rejoice at Mr. Leclair’s return to retail, wonder what Pimble gets up to, express concern that Harry wants a drink, imagine Eyeliner’s various delusions of grandeur, and gaze upon The Picture of Dorian’s Hair. Kelly hasn’t seen enough Golden Girls, Tom wants a job at the Palm Court, and, once again, everyone agrees that things were different before the war.

The Palm Court: The Baby Battalion of 1915 Apr 07, 2014

Show notes

Kelly & Tom recover from tax season with their recap of Mr. Selfridge S2E2. They speculate that Miss Towler may be experiencing Goblin King-related interference, point out that New Gordon is no Charlie Chaplin, elucidate Jeremy Piven’s internal monologue, count all the horrible things that should be highlighted in a British “Empire” exhibition, suggest the Lord Loxley Award for Horrible Behavior, discover the legend of Tubby Isaac’s, and gleefully welcome back Monsieur Hobo Beard LeClair. Kelly writes a Lifehacker article, Tom says “GOOD GOD!,” and everyone worries that the show is rapidly approaching “peak ginger.”

The Palm Court: Boobs v. Pickpocket Mar 31, 2014

Show notes

Kelly & Tom return to the wonderful world of Eyeliner in their recap of Mr. Selfridge S2E1. They discuss the difficulty inherent in following the PBS broadcast schedule, a superior credits sequence, the perfection that is Polly Walker, Marvilius: The Lost Hogwarts House, Mr. Crabbe’s cousin, the return of Lang, the origin of mannequins, a community theatre production of “There’s Something About Mary,” how to steam a pigeon, and New Gordon. Kelly’s right, Tom’s wrong, and everyone wants Monsieur Leclair to shave his hobo beard.
