And so Downton Abbey ends, not with a bang, but with a Denker. Kelly & Tom recap S6E9 in slightly more emotional fashion than usual, but they still manage to pitch the spinoff “McG: Hospital Administrator,” wonder why Matthew Goode didn’t just take a job as Downton’s butler, hope that the eventual Downton movie is called “In the Boot Room,” promise to invite a unicorn on the podcast, visit OldPeopleBone.com, come up with a better name for Rose’s baby, and talk smack about period maternity clothes. Kelly guesses we’re all crash widows now, Tom provides insight into the history of advice columns, and everyone agrees that real life is the greatest Rifftrax of them all.

To Pee On All My Priceless Possessions Feb 15, 2016

They Paved Pig Farm, And Put Up a Parking Lot Jan 25, 2016

Show notes

In their recap of Downton Abbey S6E4, Kelly & Tom may have had a bit too much coffee as they declare these to be the show’s “Holly J years.” They also contemplate the implementation of ovesters, wonder why Downton is suddenly filled with sexual innuendo, speculate about port-related injuries, explain Satan’s only weakness, remind everyone to never shake a Baxter, and reiterate that surprises ruin relationships. Kelly does a terrible job of pronouncing “Diaghilev,” Tom offers background on the history of British women’s colleges, and everyone gets shockingly verklempt about Lady Sybil. AGAIN.

A Spring In My Cervix Jan 11, 2016

Show notes

Kelly & Tom are as lost as a Gutenberg Bible in their recap of Downton Abbey S6E2. They talk a lot about pigs and other fat stock, wish the Dowager wore more codpieces, revisit their favorite Ripon jokes, pour one out for poor Mr. Pamuk, imagine a meeting between Baron Fellowes and George RR Martin, and explain where horseradish comes from. Kelly claims that Edith’s repeated baby-stealing was completely legal, Tom covers the shockingly recent medical advancements the Dowager doesn’t want at the village hospital, and everyone agrees that being a child actor on Downton is the second-best gig for a British baby.

In S6E1, they discover a new position downstairs, meet the Darnleys, wonder if LG is jealous that he didn’t get to go to Liverpool with Gilly, roll their eyes at Denker’s denkishness, celebrate the apparent end of Murder Prison, and they both decide to just give up and get on board the Carson/Hughes ship.
