Deadwood's abuzz with the arrival of Miles and Flora, an innocent-seeming brother-sister duo searching for their missing father. But as many in town see opportunity in Flora's fresh....uh....face.... it soon becomes clear that she has plans of her...
Brad Dourif’s daughter (who was also in Deadwood) posted this pic of him from the set of the movie and now I’m all emotional over seeing Doc with white hair. I think seeing how everyone has aged is going to make me cry when the film comes out eventhough I’ve kept up with the filmography of most of the cast.

NEW PODCAST! Post-Downton: IF IT’S GAY I’LL WATCH IT
The damsels are back to check in on the post-Downton landscape, which luckily already contains Julian Fellowes’s next big project (one that would horrify a certain butler if he knew about it). We’ll be checking in with Belgravia as it progresses, so stay tuned for more!
Then it’s a fab new world as we welcome our first-ever guest podcasters–the delightful Britta Lundin (@brittashipsit) and Dave Binegar (@davebinegar)–to weigh in on the recent controversy surrounding the treatment of queer characters on TV. What’s the deal with this Bury Your Gays thing, anyway? How can a new wave of creators and the online fan community bring us into a better era of storytelling? And can we fix all the problems of pop culture’s queer representation in just one hour of conversation?
Grab a drink, settle in, and join us for the biggest episode of Downton Gabby yet!

This is a good one!!
NEW PODCAST! Season 6, Episode 7: CRASH & BURN
A moment of silence for Charlie. Not only did he lose his life, but he also put the nail in the coffin on Mary & Mr. Yum Yum’s relationship. Well, maybe it was Henry’s drunk dialing that did it…
After discussing Chekov’s Sports Car, the damsels dig into the other juicy storylines, such as Bertie’s proposal (yay #TeamEdith), the bitch showdown with the Dowager, the return of #Dickobel, Molesley’s new genius status, the lament of poor Thomas, and of course, the reign of Mrs. Patmore as the devious plotter who brought Carson to his knees roasting potatoes for a victorious Mrs. Hughes!
So pour a cocktail, put on your penis racing cap and enjoy this latest podcast!

NEW PODCAST! Season 6, Episode 6: HOUSE HUNTERS YORKSHIRE
This week we find the Crawleys in fine comedic form as they wander cluelessly around the Abbey making stuff up about their paintings. Meanwhile, Mrs Hughes is (hopefully) spitting in Carson’s food, Mary and Edith prove they’ll never fight over the same men, and Julian dazzles us with his tenuous grasp of obstetric knowledge.
But with only a few episodes left, we have worries: Will this hospital melodrama finally do Granny in? When will Thomas’s story stop being so cringeworthy? Will Molesley get that job at Hogwarts? And the biggest question of all: Who is this Downton Librarian and how can we get their job?!
Put on your pajamas, take a tray of sandwiches and coffee up to the bedroom, and enjoy this latest Downton Gabby podcast!

NEW PODCAST! Season 6, Episode 5: BLOODY VALENTINE
After we’ve wiped the blood off our shocked faces, the Damsels dig into this episode jam packed with love and (almost) death. Although we love Mr. Yum Yum, we wonder if he’s marriage material, but you won’t find us shipping Mary & Tom! No, we are more interested in whether Mary & Edith will finally bury the hatchet and be decent to each other.
Oh, also we are super busy planning the double wedding for Mrs. Patmore/Mr. Mason and Daisy/Andy. Until then, we will relish in all of the love this final season is oozing with (except Bates & Anna, obvi).
So, pour yourself a racy cocktail, pop open that book on pig theory, and enjoy this latest podcast!

NEW PODCAST! Season 6, Episode 4: LADIES WHO LUNCH
Feminism abounds in the new episode of Downton Abbey! Julian, how did you know that the way to make us care about the hospital storyline was to have a group of ladies relate it all to their opinions about government?
Meanwhile, Mrs. Hughes is keeping her name, and all that sexy, not-at-all secret flirting between Mary and Mr. Yum Yum is making us flush hotter than a bad transmission (we don’t know about cars).
Also this week: a touching trip down memory lane to the saddest but maybe best-written moment in Downton history; a flurry of downstairs drama and dastardly behavior; and a chance to consider the fantasy of where you should bestow your V-card upon your beloved.
Spread a little artisanal jam on your toast and join us for the latest episode of Downton Gabby!

LOTS OF FUNNY SHIT THIS WEEK LISTEN TO IT PEOPLE
NEW PODCAST! Season 6, Episode 3: SAY YES TO THE FROCK
So much love to discuss in this joyous episode, starting with The Big Wedding and Edith’s adorable rom-com storyline.
Also, lots of drama to dissect: Mary/Tom shipping, #CoatGate, Chekov’s indigestion, #RatFetus, Spratt’s secret life, Molesley as the Edith of downstairs, and whether Marigold will kill them all in their sleep with her creepy eyes.
Let’s all stay out of the boot room, raise a glass to Charles & Elsie, and get this hooli going!

The Bitch List is the annual list of the best Bechdel test-passing scripts in Hollywood. The 2016 list came out and SHIP IT was voted #1.
There are so many great scripts on the list this year with lots of complex, interesting female characters. Here’s hoping for more diversity in Hollywood storytelling in the future. I’m excited to be working toward that goal with the other rad writers and filmmakers on the list.
A-FUCKING-PPLAUSE YOOOOOO
NEW PODCAST! Season 6, Episode 2: PRIZE PIGS
It’s not just Lady Mary’s Late Fat Stock that are behaving like pigs this week.
First of all, how did Edith let the whole Marigold mess get so out of hand? We love our #TeamEdith, but even we have limits when you’ve been farming the land since Waterloo. It’s wigs in the grass, people. Wigs. In. The. Grass.
We also discuss all the jerky goings-on, including Carson insisting on getting married at work, Isobel bickering with Violet–and cock-blocking poor old Dickie, and Barrow getting the Mean Girls treatment by almost everyone.
At least Lady Mary is helping Anna with her Incompetent Cervix™ (is anyone else getting sexy vibes from those two? Just us? OK.)
Put on your tweeds, pour yourself a small beer, and join us for this especially swinish episode of Downton Gabby.

NEW PODCAST! Season 6 Premiere: LET’S GET IT ON
We’re super excited about the premiere of the final season of Downton Abbey–and, to be honest, a bit sad. But that won’t stop us from having a rowdy sex-talk-filled conversation.
Some things haven’t changed: Another random evil maid is causing trouble, Carson disapproves of something modern, Mary is testing the limits of propriety, Cora can’t get a straight answer to a question….and Anna is crying.
There are also many new developments, and we have some NSFW questions: Will Lesley Nicol finally get an Emmy nomination for that sex talk? What is the best lube for the menopausal set? Why is Mary reading the Farmer’s Stock Breeder at breakfast? Are fabulous silky robes the latest trend-and can we wear them with yoga pants? Is Edith really the Jon Snow of Downton? And most importantly, why is Julian Fellowes trolling us!?
So put on those silky robes, toast to “British Justice,” and enjoy this more-raunchy-than-usual installment of Downton Gabby.

NEW PODCAST! Downton Gabby Off-Season: The Queens of 2015
It’s a super-packed conversation in our last episode of the off-season before the (sob) final season of Downton Abbey begins. We’re preparing, reminiscing, and predicting, and one of us might be taking a deeper dive into fandom activities than ever before (send 1920s garb now!).
Helping us fill some of the time before the Crawleys & company return is Netflix’s Jessica Jones. We dig the themes, the ass-kicking, the piles of well-written women, and the simmering hot Luke Cage–but we do have a few issues, such as whether the 13-episode binge really serves the story, or why Jessica hasn’t yet encountered 21st century denim technology.
Finally, to close out the year we each count down our five favorite female characters of 2015. Some picks are predictable, some are surprising, and if you can guess which single character shows up on all three lists, you know us better than we know ourselves.
Grab the bottle of bottom-shelf whiskey out of your battered PI desk and join us for one more episode of Downton Gabby Off-Season!

NEW PODCAST! Downton Gabby Off-Season: Dance The Shit Out Of It!
This episode celebrates The Dance, and who better to title it than Zoe Saldana’s epic Eva in beloved teen ballet film Center Stage.
We take a nostalgic trip back to that 2000 classic, but first we talk about Starz’s (sadly) limited series Flesh and Bone. This story of a simple girl from Pittsburgh who becomes the toast of the ballet world embraces the tropes we love, from the bloody toenails, to the aging prima ballerina, and the eating disorders. And some even darker fare, like a Russian mobster with a sex slave racket, the magical homeless person, and a dance company director who reminds us of Deadwood’s Al Swearengen (bear with us here).
We also revisit another dance-filled extravaganza Crazy Ex-Girlfriend to see how we feel about the show after 5 episodes (hint: we love it almost more than Rebecca loves Josh, if that’s possible). And finally, we check in with the Amazon.com pilot Good Girls Revolt, about ‘60s-era women in journalism. Will we find our new Peggy Olson? It remains to be seen.
So grab some painkillers, slip on your toe shoes, and enjoy our latest episode of Downton Gabby Off-Season.

NEW PODCAST! Downton Gabby Off-Season: Fall LadyShow Roundup
Fall TV has just begun and we are treating it like a big appetizer sampler. We run through our opinions on new buzzy shows like Quantico and Crazy Ex-Girlfriend while also touching base with some old faves like Nashville and Jane the Virgin.
Then we dive into a big discussion on Nancy Meyers’ latest film The Intern, which we would love to re-write as The CEO. The damsels have A LOT to say about this movie that doesn’t fail on every mark, but yes, many of them. We also look at Nancy Meyers’ career as a whole – lots to love and still lots to discuss.
So pop open a beer and take a sip each time we talk about a new show! ;)

Fielding thought of the fat joints smoked on the deck, and Frank Taylor holding forth over a glass of scotch, a million years ago. The children played an elaborate game of tag, using the dock and the beach and the little rowboat. Gavin galloped along behind Meg and Jennie; the girls were younger but imperious and in control. Their hair was like dry grass on the hillside, their bare feet toughened by summer. They moved as effortlessly into the boat and across the water–pulling one oar hard, spinning the boat around the dock–as across the land. Amphibious children. ‘We’re creating little hedonists,’ Frank used to say. 'Nothing will be as pleasurable as this for the rest of their lives. They’ll search everywhere for something that can measure up, and nothing will.’
Maile Meloy, “The Children,” 2009 (via quicklit)
