Show Notes
Someday Kelly & Amy will record an episode that doesn't reference Newsies, but that day is not today. In their recap of Peaky Blinders S4E5, they try to figure out who wasn't embarrassd by WWI, debate whether GRAAAACE or Sam Neil would make a better zombie, get nostalgic for Danny Whizz Bang & conrade Baby, beg for a line of Lady Blinders' coats, hope that Steve!Knight sometimes gets drunk and listens to the podcast, and remember that this whole series is a trick. Kelly shares her list of replacement Adrien Brodys, Amy's not cut out to be a salesperson, and everyone still refuses to watch Taboo. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
More from Up Yours, Downstairs! A Downton Abbey Podcast
Ahoy-hoy, Cousins! Kelly here with a big favor to ask! Can you please vote for me daily in IHeartRadio's Top Host competition?
Reunited and it feels so good! Kelly and Amy dish about what's been going on with them (Jeopardy! Chronic foot pain!), the fact that they did not recap Downton Abbey: A New Era, and their thoughts and feelings about Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale. They cover DNRs for intellectual property, naked podcasts, Middleton hive, Baron Julian's obliviousness to lesbians, a grand funkadelic unified theory of the show, MERTY, and stranger banging.
*gong noise* Kelly and Amy are back with a little holiday cheer as they recap Kenneth Branagh's A Midwinter's Tale (or In the Bleak Midwinter to our UK Cousins), a 1995 black-and-white love letter to Shakespeare, the power of live theatre and Joan Collins. They discuss their obsession with Bravo's Below Deck Mediterranean, people making horrible choices, the casual homophobia of the mid-90s, FADGE, eating chili in England,Rita Repulsa, the Burning Man of the East, what the fox says, a church run by organized crime, Sporkle quizzes, a brief history of camp and the real-life inspiration for Hamlet.
NEAME willing, Kelly & Amy are proud to present their last Downton Abbey recap ever. All your favorites are here for the movie: Fashion Backwards, Amy Repeats History and a litany of goofy-ass callbacks to episodes past. They worry that this movie might get nominated for a gd Oscar, speculate about Matthew Goode's reaction to being contractually obligated to appear in this enjoyable but ultimately pointless thing, learn about hot gay sex throughout history, rejoice that there's basically no plot for Bates, call Isobel an Isoballer, get weepy at Maggie Smith's final scene as the Dowager Countess and Thomas' trip to the gay bar, ponder the inevitable zombie-laden sequel and lambast Branson one last time for being such a traitor to the cause of Irish independence.
Due to technical difficulties, Kelly & Amy wrap up their coverage of Victoria and make a stunning announcement! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
