We're taking a break from our standard format to cover a single episode; the May 17, 2015 series finale of Mad Men: "Person to Person".

Andy, Luke, and Nathan are joined by Kelly to talk about our thoughts, theories, and reactions to the episode, the final episode of one of our favorite shows of all time.  

As promised before, we'll be back next time with our take on Orange is the New Black, a Netflix exclusive. Look for that epsiode in a few weeks.  In the meantime, send us an email or a tweet.

The other big news is that Syndicated now has it's own dedicated podcast feed.  You can continue to find us on the standard Crosstawk feed, but we are also now available as a stand-alone podcast.  You can subscribe using this feed: http://www.crosstawk.com/storage/syndicated.xml or searching for Syndicated in the podcast player of your choice.

We're coming right up on Memorial Day, which means it's time for the crew of Box Office Poison to meet up for our annual "Cross Con," in which we drink, we eat and we generally go a little nuts while keeping the mic on for your listening pleasure. And to continue last year's tradition, we've held the episode of Rough Draught for a full year, now debuting it just before we get together and record the next episode.

This time, we grabbed mostly beers brewed in the Midwest, which was appropriate, since we were all in Chicago to enjoy the City of Broad Shoulders. This included:

- 5 Rabbit Huitzi
- Solemn Oath Wreckage Master
- Deschutes Class of '88
- Lagunitas Sucks (Brown Shugga Replacement Ale)
- Revolution Deep Woods Series: Straight Jacket Barleywine

Have a question for us to answer on the next episode of Rough Draught? Let us know via email ([email protected]), Twitter (@crosstawk) or in the comments section on the site. After all, you'll only have to wait a year!

Thanks for listening!

Time for another A Thousand Words! This time our wordsmiths are gonna go back in time to the Stone Age by Victor M. Vasnetsov and compare it to The Justice League, discuss proper defense against bears, and tie it all up in a Communist bow. 

Box Office Poison is back with a new episode that is short on voices but packed with movies. Karl, Jon, and Stan get together to discuss Avengers: Age of Ultron, Adult Beginners, Furious 7, The Graduate, and more! Then in the second segment we get into another new batch of your listener mail covering watching movies drunk, foreign film markets, who our favorite reviewer on BOP is, and more!

The next episode will be recorded in Nashville where all of us will be together to watch movies, have a few laughs, watch Stan's pick for Movie of the Month (The Good, The Bad, and The Weird), and make regretful life decisions so be sure to join us for that! See you soon!

It's here... the beginning of the end. Mad Men draws to a close in just two more weeks, but we're giving it a proper eulogy by covering Season 7 (Part One) of the beloved AMC drama.

Join Andy, Neal, Nathan and Luke as they discuss season 7.1 of Mad Men.  There will be spoilers aplenty for the first six seasons of the show, so if you're not all caught up, you might want to save this epiosde for later.

Now that we've given Mad Men the send-off it so rightly deserves, we will be moving onto something a little different: the Netflix exclusive Orange is the New Black.  Stay tuned!

Jessica, Ron, and Stan put on their thinking caps in order to beat artist Lucas van Leyden and his Chessplayers. They dig deep in the symbolism and extract insight into naughty nuns, video games, and Police Academy. Listen and be educated.

We've finally broken tradition; rather than cover the beginning of this modern TV classic, we've decided to cover the ending.  Right now as we post this, Mad Men is mid-run through their final seven-episode run, and to celebrate we're covering the 1.5 seasons that came immediately prior.

Join Andy, Neal, Nathan and Luke as they discuss season 6 of Mad Men.  There will be spoilers aplenty for the first five seasons of the show, so if you're not all caught up, you might want to save this epiosde for later.

Come back next week when we cover Season 7.1, the batch of seven episodes that aired in 2014.

A new episode of Box Office Poison is here and we've got a crap-ton of movies to talk about! Karl, Jonny, Jon, and Stan have all been watching a lot of stuff, new and old, and they fit it all into a huge first segment where they cover Ex-Machina, I, Origins, Lucy, Furious 7, The Wrecking Crew, and more! Then in the second segment we go over Jonny's pick for Movie of the Month, Ricky Gervais' The Invention of Lying!

Next episode we'll get into another batch of your listener mail so be sure to send anything you want to [email protected] or to Twitter (@crosstawk) and then head on over to iTunes and leave a review. We'll see you again in two weeks!

In this episode, Jessica, Ron, and Stan discuss the Mike Mayhew's Star Trek vs. Doctor Who.  Unfortunately, at the time of recording we didn't know the actual title, so it is referred to as Untitled through most of the episode.  Also, we were looking at the colored version and the coloring was done by Rain Beredo.

After an agonizing delay, A Thousand Words returns! This time Jessica, Ron, and Stan tackle Reading the News by artist Richard Staunton Cahill. But first we begin with an apology and we don't stop apologizing.
