Blackface is horrible.
Jane is drunk.
Pete and Trudy do the Charleston.
Don meets the mysterious Connie. They have a drink together.
I got a new computer, which has nothing to do with the podcast.
Joan plays accordion.
I'm Peggy Olson, and I want to smoke marijuana.
We all knew Kinsey was a poseur, now we're sure.
I will say I'm more excited that Steve will get to see next week's episode, but we have to do this one too.
I spot more dramatic irony!
Ann Margret, the hot virgin.
The Prices and the Drapers out to dinner was pretty great.
'You ever get three sheets to the wind and try that thing on?'
Pregnant and stressed? Wine and smokes should help.
Is Don doing something nice for Betty? What?
This one is quite comical, as comical as Mad Men can be anyway. It's comical in that you watch someone self destruct before your eyes. It's almost as if actions have consequences this season!
This episode is about the tragedy of war and how it affects people, it's about loss, it's about fresh starts, it's about what a name means, it's well, it's Mad Men.
The death of Marilyn Monroe hangs over this one. I think this show integrates historical stuff into the narrative better than most shows do. Not only do we have the death of Marilyn, but we have Floyd Patterson, the fact that 'BBDO hired a coloured kid' and the impending Missile Crisis.
Steve drops some excellent analysis right at the end, blew me away.
Sadly, Steve had been spoiled about the Jane thing.
No this isn't about Mad Men. I did talk about Mad Men in the podcast though! This is from a new podcast I'm doing with my brother Da...
