Family Meeting – Bald Move

Kelly & Tom completely geek out over the S3 finale of Peaky Blinders–so much so they have to totally wing the final scene. They cross their fingers for the return of Horse Bitch in S4, declare Tatiana the winner of Peaky Blinders, note that all the guys got new hats, and marvel yet again at Tom Hardy’s awesomeness.

Kelly and Tom recap the penultimate episode of Peaky Blinders S3 and hope for a happy ending for Pol, wonder if it’s too soon for Bowie’s Lazarus (it’s never too soon), reflect on the awesomeness of Russian lingerie, celebrate the return of Alfie Solomons, and demand a BAFTA for Paul Anderson.

Kelly & Tom thoroughly enjoy recapping S3E4 of Peaky Blinders (the Entourage or Walking Dead of the UK, depending on who you’re talking to), one of the show’s best hours. They discuss the highly upsetting 1953 film Lili, the Shelby women finally getting their cool af day in the sun, Kelly’s awareness of Latin, Tom’s remembrance of a Dunkin’ Donuts campaign, and mashing up Peaky Blinders with It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

Kelly & Tom recap Peaky Blinders S3E3 and discuss content licensing, educated whales, spooky horses, the film Reservoir Dogs, and all the other tv they’ve been watching this summer.

Kelly & Tom are joined for their recap of Peaky Blinders S3E2 by the esteemed Dowager Cousin Jackie! They discuss non-vaginal sapphires, Soviet SVU, acceptable amounts of tea slurping, and whether or not pizza is allowed in Britain.

Kelly and Tom finally return to their podcasting ways with this recap of Peaky Blinders S3E1! They continue to say GRAAAAAAAACE despite no longer having much of a reason to, have a surprising discussion of Thornton Wilder’s Our Town, try to decide where aristocrats go, wonder why Arthur is suddenly the voice of reason, lust after Tommy Shelby 2.0, and fail to remember Jeremiah’s son’s name. Kelly hollers at the harmful one, Tom makes a really excellent pun, and everyone demands a box of wine.

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.

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.
