Up Yours, Downstairs! A Downton Abbey Podcast

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. It's been a while, so it's a little rough, but we hope you have as much fun listening as we had recording.

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. Finally, we can't thank you Cousins enough for your many, many years of loyal fandom. You've been with us through the good, the bad and the downright weird (Strumpet City, we're looking at you). There's not a Molesley among you, and we certainly hope you'll be along for whatever projects we cook up next. We won't be far away--you can find us on Twitter, where we often make humor jokes. Our handles are @kellyanneken & @TheCynicalBetch. See you on the internets! LUNCHEON OUT (for reals, though)! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Rejoice! GLORIANA! Kelly & Amy make their triumphant return to podcasting with this recap of Victoria S1E1.

The episode itself survived, so please to enjoy it, because Amy also lost all her progress on Tomb Raider so she is very sad.
