Show Notes
It's a special #sorrynotsorry binge-recap of Call the Midwife S6, featuring episodes 4-8! First, Kelly & Amy catch each other up on Top Chef, The Crown casting news, Kids' Baking Championship, and The Alienist. Then they get down to business, outing Patsy as not a Good Lesbian, declaring that time doesn't exist in Poplar, bemoaning the dying art of houndstooth, grappling with the weirdness of the Nobel Prize, imitating Sister Monica Joan, speculating on the market value of a fresh baby, and marveling at two people who make their livings pulling gross things out of people. Kelly wants a celebrity billionaire to fix her hip, Amy considers wearing more headbands, and everyone continues to not be famous. 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.
