Kelly & Tom are joined by returning guest and loyal Cousin Lauren Parker to join in eviscerating the cinematic snooze button that is Suffragette . Apart from the fact that there are zero characters of color and the protagonist is a “composite character,” there’s plenty to chuckle about, including the story of how Brendan Gleeson’s beard got cast, Cher’s long-lost bagel boy, the unexpected awes...

Kelly & Tom do their best to transform the mumblecore snoozefest that is 2008’s Brideshead Revisited into a Warner Brothers cartoon. They declare that Ben Whishaw is #NotMySebastian, name-check Bertolt Brecht, make fun of Haley Atwell’s atrocious wardrobe, advocate for more pop culture dong, and declare unusual characters to be their favorites. Kelly has gay puns for days, Tom insists tha...

Kelly & Tom thoroughly enjoyed Milos Forman’s 1981 epic Ragtime , so much so that Kelly barely gets any songs from the musical in. They are overwhelmed by many cute babies and cameos from everyone who’s ever been in anything, ever, but still manage to be quite moved by the plot, shocked by McG in her earliest form, amused at EL Doctorow’s inability to name characters, and admire various facial...

Kelly & Tom close the loop with their recap of Upstairs, Downstairs S1E3. They’re feeling retroactively charitable toward the show due to Claire Foy’s performance in “Wolf Hall,” nobody cares about Christian names, Michigan J. Frog’s German cousin is unmasked, and Persie hasn’t even begun to monster. Kelly points out that people haven’t really figured out childbirth, Tom doesn’t recall the chi...

Kelly & Tom wrap up their Bham journey in this recap of Peaky Blinders S2E6. They are excited to report that Rando finally pays off, ponces gonna ponce, Solomons is back in Cillian’s good graces, fake Irish identities continue to come in handy, Jeremiah makes an all-too-brief appearance, they finally figure out the origin of Cillian’s favorite poem, Lizzie is a very professional prostitute, an...

Kelly & Tom recap the penultimate episode of Peaky Blinders S2E5 and share some bonus listener feedback! They also make a bunch of apologies, point out one of Mrs. Whore’s sandwiches, continue to fret that Ada has sold Comrade Baby, realize that Esme is a way better strategist than Arthur ever was, reflect on Solomons’ attitude toward Judaism, get excited about goldfish, affirm that upper-crus...

Kelly & Tom are back all by their lonesome with their recap of Peaky Blinders S2E4. The show really kicks into high gear with this one, featuring Cillian’s only truly unsettled look of the series, London’s hottest genderqueer nightclub, Esme’s questionable style choices, the Attractive Bitch’s Downton-dwarfing estate, a job listing for a smug jerk, Ada’s mysterious sources of income, and the t...

For their recap of Peaky Blinders S2E3, Kelly & Tom welcome Princess of Bay Area Comedy and self-hating Irishwoman Allison Mick! They talk about every show imaginable that isn’t Peaky Blinders , declare a strong preference for Solomons’ “people management” skills, make fun of Grace’s senior photo, agree with Charlie that honest work sucks, and wish that they had a Curly in their lives. Kelly w...

Kelly & Tom are joined by Los Angeles comedian Rye Silverman for their recap of Peaky Blinders S2E2 and things get rowdy! The trio debates what constitutes a stigmata, the usefulness of horse medicine, Ada’s commitment to the tenets of socialist thought, the fact that church bells don’t have a snooze alarm, and whether Esme’s betrayal means they can’t like her any more. This episode is also bl...

Kelly and Tom are BACK with a brand-new recap of Peaky Blinders S2E1. Refreshed and ready to ally themselves with Tom Hardy, they are thrilled to see Cillian cosplaying as Scarecrow/Dr. Jonathan Crane, Ada back in top bitchy form, post-war spiritualism at its shadiest, the replacement of Not Churchill with someone who actually resembles Churchill, the awesomeness of Esme, and the blessed lack of a...

Open that bottle of champagne as Kelly & Tom wrap up their coverage of Peaky Blinders S1 with this recap of E6. They invent the term “laundrobrothel,”roll their eyes at Comrade Baby’s actual name, unexpectedly warm to Moss, applaud Mumper and Esme’s general approach to life, enjoy what is possibly the show’s very best scene, hope God gives everyone a moral exception like he does to Jeremiah, p...

In their recap of Peaky Blinders S1E5, Kelly & Tom can hardly believe they’re already covering the penultimate episode of series one. They worry about Comrade Baby’s welfare, feel absolutely gutted by Arthur, accidentally call Cillian by his character name, speculate whether Sam Neill and Scarface have ever been seen in the same place at the same time, wonder when Finn started drinking, and ge...

Kelly and Tom find themselves alone again (naturally) for their recap of Peaky Blinders S1E4, which sees Steve! Knight get a new CD, the semi-return of Sam Neill, a fish with a terrible hat, Cillian’s ill-advised hiring criteria, one of the shows most emotional scenes, plus here a Lee, there a Lee, everywhere a Lee-a-Lee. Kelly wonders how hard it would be to quit sex work, Tom...

Kelly and Tom are joined by fellow podcaster Lauren Parker for their recap of Peaky Blinders S1E3. They chat about Fire Street, whine about the relative lack of Sam Neill, wonder if Ada has matured at all since the age of 9, debate whether Freddie Thorne or Arthur Shelby wears their terrible haircut better, clarify the difference between Scotch and Irish whiskey, take Cillian Murphy very seriously...
