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!

Show notes

Kelly & Tom cover the five people you meet at Downton in their S4 recap wrap-up! Among other things, they discuss Bates’ evolution into a Lifetime Original Movie, The International Brotherhood of Bangs, Ponytails & Mullets, Chekov’s refrigerator, the joys of shouting “Gilly” and “Pegglet,” the return(?) of FakePatrick, Greta and her biscuit, how Isis was presented to King George, and having sex on green room couches. Kelly is all died out, Tom wants everyone to know The Duchess is still out there, and everyone wants to Free Madge.

In Soviet Russia, Coat Gets You! Mar 03, 2014

Show notes

Kelly & Tom overcome the limitations of time and space to bring you this super-sized recap of Downton Abbey S4’s Christmas Special, “The London Season.” Together, they explore the most grating American accent yet, how children are reared on McG’s home planet, the many delights of Dudders, how much Rose’s ball could be improved with sideboob, Blake’s connection to Hogwarts, board the good ‘ship MacH and Allsopp, the way Baron Fellowes manages to shoehorn Hitler into the series, widow surfing, Mary stealing Gwen’s line, and Bate’s transformation into Batman. Kelly plans to be weirdly obsessed with Tom, Tom hates it when Congress uncovers his bribes, and they both agree that they’ve invested far too much in this podcast to get a divorce.

Nothing But Boots Feb 24, 2014

Show notes

In their penultimate recap of Downton Abbey S4, Kelly and Tom pretty much lose their minds over the Tamworths, can’t believe Bates is plunging us into yet another murder plotline, marvel at the McG-ness of McG, compliment the Dowager on her philosophical leanings, applaud the ingenuity of Yorkshire’s nascent carnie society, lament the return of the Homely Liberal, giggle at Jack Ross’s thick, fluffy American accent, wonder what happened to Spratt, invent a new single for the Village People, and call out the ubiquitous boot room. Kelly expresses her disgust at the grossest sexual gesture in existence, Tom entertains with tales of the Teapot Dome scandal, and everyone is super-happy that Mr. Mason is back!

As Far As I Know, There Was Only One Beastmaster Feb 17, 2014

Show notes

Kelly & Tom recap Downton Abbey S4E7 and explore why the Dowager is dressed like an extra from Zoobilee Zoo, whether the Abbey is really just a halfway house for idiot servants, the potential success of a website called Witch Date, Daisy’s rapid transformation into Miss Havisham, exactly where a pig man’s place it (hint: it’s with the pigs), the madness and pointlessly panty-dropping hotness of King Ludwig II, the very unwelcome return of Mr. Green, the boot room of the upstairs, and Mary’s totally awesome bedroom. Kelly is still laughing about Clone High, Tom outlines The Duchess’ modus operandi, and though they don’t exactly apologize for all the things they’ve said about Baron Fellowes, they’d still love to have a chat with him.

The Sybil Crawley Memorial Golly Feb 10, 2014

Show notes

Kelly & Tom are just in love with Downton Abbey in this recap of S4E6. The objects of their rekindled affection include Baxter’s infuriatingly vague past, heathenish orange juice, hating Woodrow Wilson, the elusive Gutenberg Bible, Isobel’s official return to meddling, the sexploits of Leslie “Hutch” Hutchinson, Violet Kush, kangaroo thieves, Charles Blake’s unfortunate haircut, McG being the McBest, Daisy finally giving dumb Ivy what-for, woad, and the weird, wild, wonderful world of Warren G. Harding. As if all that wasn’t enough, Kelly’s hot toast brings all the boys to the yard, Tom roots “USA,” as usual, and everyone wonders how a Dowager is like a writing desk.

The Wickham of Podcasts Feb 03, 2014

Show notes

Kelly & Tom wax cautiously optimistic for the rest of the season in this recap of Downton Abbey S4E5 as they talk refrigerators and the wacky adventures of Lord Byron. They also talk Branson’s upbringing, the proper way to mail a baby, shipping Daisy and the sewing machine, disgusting Top Chef fanfic, Baron Julian’s sudden recollection of everything that’s happened on the show so far, Pavlov’s Grantham, the introduction of young Pegglet, terrible pregnancy plotlines, that magical spring in Tuck Everlasting, and what HeisenBates might do next. Kelly can’t keep a secret, Tom saves the print industry, and America’s grandmothers rejoice as everyone finally has a chance to pit baby against baby in a battle for adorable supremacy.

God Is Carl Winslow Jan 27, 2014

Show notes

Kelly & Tom take on Downton Abbey S4E4 and try not to talk about how things were before the war, with mixed results. They permit Edith’s use of the word “whilst,” wonder where have all the babies gone, puzzle over LG’s sudden emergence as the voice of reason, dispute whether anything should be allowed to be jellied, appreciate how friggin’ racist the Crawleys are, determine which dresses Mr. Lloyd George would have hated, wish Mrs. Hughes was a Dark Jedi, discuss the sexiness of marching band bus makeout sessions, encourage Daisy to return to her farm, and pitch a porn parody of The Perfect Storm. As if that weren’t enough, Kelly wants a secret marriage, Tom steps up his BOOM game, and they both totally called Edna a witch before it was cool!

Two Parts Whiskey, One Part Eye of Newt Jan 20, 2014

Show notes

Kelly & Tom finally get down to making jokes about Downton Abbey S4E3, and they want to be very clear that they aren’t interested in helping rapists. However, they do address Anna’s assault, try to cast Futurama characters in Downton Abbey, recount a 1922 hipster conversation, speculate about Lady Raven’s subjects, decide once and for all whether Alfred is dumber than Lord Grantham, strap the Dowager Countess to the top of the Beverly Hillbillies’ truck, invent a new word, come up with a radical plan to get Lady Mary past Matthew’s death, and accuse Braithwaite of witchcraft so much that it’s like an Arthur Miller play. Kelly goes inexplicably nuts over the animated film Anastasia, Tom impersonates an Irish baby, and everyone laments how different things were before the war.

Leave Mrs. Tiggywinkle Alone! Jan 13, 2014

Show notes

Kelly & Tom recap Downton Abbey S4E2 and are surprised by how so little happens so conveniently in this installment. Otherwise, they wax rhetorical about Bates’s toilet leg, how blue one needs to be to move to Belfast, Gregson’s butler Tony Shalhoub, porking in York, a documentary about Molesley’s life, the head-eating powers of the mega-cloche, the return of Daisy’s bitchface, Hecate’s influence on Downton’s goings-on, whether or not Rose qualifies as a tart, how much it costs to get hobo stink out of a room, and how a Quentin Tarantino-style resolution would be the best way to end the idiotic belowstairs love quadrangle. Kelly doesn’t understand Massachusetts, Tom wonders why the unemployed can’t just get a job as the Great Gatsby, and both of them are just thrilled that Isis’ butt is finally back!
