Nothing But Boots

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…

Up Yours, Downstairs!

The Sybil Crawley Memorial Golly

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 Wickham of Podcasts

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…

God Is Carl Winslow

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,…

Up Yours, Downstairs!

Two Parts Whiskey, One Part Eye of Newt

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…

Up Yours, Downstairs!

Leave Mrs. Tiggywinkle Alone!

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…
