This week we discuss 'A Night To Remember', Season 2, Episode 8.

This one is about trying on new identities.

It's also about a dinner party.

It's also about a CYO dance.

It's also about how men are idiots and don't know it.

It's also about how Maytag aren't soft on communism.

It's also about how Father Gill is, first and foremost, a priest.

It's also about how housewives love green!

Episode 21 - Dave and Steve Play the Gold Violin


Wherein politics and art intersect.  Wherein we find out that Mad Men is abstract impressionism.

Maybe you feel like you have to like the podcast in an Emperor's New Clothes sort of thing.

The counter culture is coming up more. Yup, it's SDS!

You want to watch those horrible muppet coffee ads?  Here's a link.  They're disturbing, in a great way.

It's a Rothko!  Oh so smudgy squares?

I can't figure out if Bert likes the painting, or, if it's just an investment.  But, really, it's none of my business!

Poor Sal.

Line of the episode goes to Jimmy 'What people?  Comedians?!'

Episode 20 - Steve By Day, Dave By Night

 


I'm pretty proud of this week's title.  

We've had music that was a year or two off but the show opens with a song by the Decembrists.  Colin Meloy, the lead singer and songwriter of the band was born in 1974, so, like, Sally could be his mother.  I'm not saying she is, but we can pretend right?

LOTS of military themes this week, not surprising as it takes place during Memorial Day weekend.  Memorial Day, it's when Americans remember those who fought for the USA and didn't come home to have ribs.  Oh and great prices on mattresses!

There are some great bits in the episode where Peggy is just off screen.  It reminds you that while she's as good as Don, or close, already, she's still not quite part of the boys club.

Look, Kinsey is bound to have a good idea now and then.

I hate watching people shave on TV.

Episode 19 - Meet Steve, the New Girl


Wow, we've almost done 20 of these things!

My watch through curves have crossed.

Don and Bobbie Barrett get in a car crash because the barbiturates and rye have finally caught up with Don.  He was right at the legal limit, he blew a .15

Bobbie gives Peggy some good advice here, though, Peggy takes it differently than Bobbie intends.

Grin and Barrett is the dumbest tv show name ever.

Roger plays paddle ball because it adds mystique.  Freddy plays Mozart on his fly because, well, because he's Freddy and he's probably hammered.
