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 hairs. Kelly recommends the books of Ann Rinaldi, Tom derails things at the very end, and everyone wonders about the Emma Goldman scene that might have been.

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 chicken wings, and everyone wonders when this show turned into a 1930s screwball comedy.

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, and Grace is no match for the Attractive Bitch. Kelly has a new favorite phrase, Tom corrects some timeline errors, and everyone hopes Sam Neill stays dead this time. We’ll be back with hiatus programming on 10/4, and Downton Abbey Instant Takes will resume on 9/20. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

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-crust aristocrats are not as ruthless as criminals, and lament the return of GRAAAAAACE. Kelly explains the prayer habits of 18-year-olds, Tom suggests a side project for Chris Martin, and they both outline how programming is going to work over the next couple of weeks.

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 the return of GRACE (but not her singing). Kelly plays F/M/K with the Shelby Brothers, Tom explains why his Google search turned up 11 year old girls, and everyone wonders what happened to Comrade Baby..

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 wonders how the show would change if Polly’s daughter Anna had survived, Tom blames Tom Mix for another senseless killing, and Allison tries to establish herself as a Los Angeles slumlord.

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 blissfully free of any of Grace’s singing. Kelly gets very twitterpated about Cillian and Tom Hardy in the same room,Tom refuses to entertain any exploding babies, and Rye has more insightful thoughts on Downton Abbey and television in general than she expected.

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 any singing from Grace. Kelly doesn’t like this tooth-pulling scene as much as the one on The Americans, Tom has a lot of opinions on Steve!Knight’s CD collection, and they both continue to struggle with Sam Neill’s elusive accent.
