January 08, 2018 Family Meeting: So This Is Why People Like Violence
Kelly & Amy agree that Peaky Blinders is a funny name for a show as they wrap up their S4 coverage. They wonder about Comrade Baby's upbringing, decide that Tom Hardy dissed Adrian Brody (not to his face), declare Abalama Ding Dong to be their best nickname ever, demand a band called Jack Dawson & the Titanics, congratulate Linda on coming a long way, baby, and marvel at Cillian's brass balls. Kelly doesn't get the point of boxing, Amy has never blinded anyone, and everyone completes their stated goal of pointing out that Adrien Brody assaulted Halle Berry in every single episode!

January 07, 2018 Family Meeting:The World is my Bloomin' Onion
Someday Kelly & Amy will record an episode that doesn't reference Newsies, but that day is not today. In their recap of Peaky Blinders S4E5, they try to figure out who wasn't embarrassd by WWI, debate whether GRAAAACE or Sam Neil would make a better zombie, get nostalgic for Danny Whizz Bang & conrade Baby, beg for a line of Lady Blinders' coats, hope that Steve!Knight sometimes gets drunk and listens to the podcast, and remember that this whole series is a trick. Kelly shares her list of replacement Adrien Brodys, Amy's not cut out to be a salesperson, and everyone still refuses to watch Taboo.

January 04, 2018 The Bed of Marital Discord
Things are starting to not suck in this recap of The Crown S2E4 (in spite of its on-the-nose music cues). Kelly & Amy dig into Vanessa Kirby's powerhouse performance as Princess Margaret aka the Heisenberg of the monarchy, say hello to the original party satellite, tell Phil to keep his banana out of the produce aisle, suggest that Mrs. Mac use a pay phone to trash talk the PM, bemoan the decline of meeting people on buses, and admire Matthew Goode's tidy little hips. Kelly cries a lot, Amy offers a solution for the two-screen problem, and everyone likes Ike.

January 03, 2018 Organic Self-Care Horn
Kelly & Amy introduce a 3-point system for fixing men in this recap of The Crown S2E3. They also decide that medical marijuana won't help A & E, the only marital aids available in the 50s were beards and crude wooden devices, Eileen is winning her divorce a la Angelina Jolie, Thursday is not even a good day of the week, and Mike wins the award for "most missed beard." Kelly loves watching men shave, Amy is too tired for her new comforter, and everyone has great ideas they're never going to execute on.

January 03, 2018 Family Meeting: Where's My Boogie Rock?
Kelly & Amy celebrate the Summer of Menzies in December with their recap of Peaky Blinders S4E4. They cheer the return of the Peaky pimp walk, wonder why everyone's raggin' on Linda's mom, invoke the Halle Berry mafia, unexpectedly compliment Aiden Gillen, decide babies need beer, and beg Steve!Knight for fewer monologues and more Horse Bitch. Kelly makes a pie crust promise, Amy's busy violating the natural order, and everyone has drankened a lot of water.

January 02, 2018 Family Meeting: Too Bougie for Bham
Kelly & Amy learn that some girls are more important than others in their recap of Peaky Blinders S4E3. They discuss Selective Grace Syndrome, the Luncheon Kingdom, try to figure out when Pol got her hair cut, lobby for the dissolution of Future Arsonists of America, diagnose Adrien Brody with lockjaw, decry Cillian's stupid pocket of convenient retconning, and declare Lizzie too good for the Shelbys. All this, plus Kelly finally learns what a Nintendo Switch is, Amy compares Peaky Blinders to Murder, She Wrote, and everyone has fun always carrying a light sweater.

December 31, 2017 Haberdashery Nonsense
Kelly & Amy dive into Episodes 4 & 5 of Call the Midwife S5. They visit Paint Town, decide no one lives on the Isle of Man, and conclude that birthing is all about positive reinforcement. Kelly gets so worried about Paddington, Amy discovers a gift worse than socks, and everyone agrees this show is kind of a Dickens novel.

December 31, 2017 Never Trust a Jeremy
Kelly & Amy recap S5 Episodes 2 & 3 of Call the Midwife, and what a special guest they have in Mr. Mason! They also chat about Rosie the Riveter (for breastfeeding), dock sickness, a possible Victorian term for "chamber pot," the CTM Maris, and the show's inexhaustible fake suspense box. Kelly reveals that consciousness is a scourge, Amy doesn't own any boring dresses, and everyone agrees that Sweeney Todd makes a lot of sense in 2017.

December 21, 2017 Family Meeting: Indie-Go-Gun
Kelly & Amy do their best for a change as they recap the very welcome return of Peaky Blinders! They also cope with Post Traumatic Downton Syndrome, discuss dark prayers, violate copyright law, celebrate two Christmases, ponder Britain's many accents relative to its modest size, laugh at Tommy Shelby's jokes, discover a new Charlie Murphy, and visit Arthur and Linda's farm of peaceful retirement. Kelly loves dangerous sociopaths, Amy loves dot matrix printers, and Billy Eichner is sadly no longer listening to UYDS.
