Mad Men Men

We know how you all had it in your heads. Someone would see our podcast and say, "get me that podcaster!" Well, I'm sorry things didn't work out that way. That's right, it's time for another episode of Mad Men Men! This week on the podcast, we discuss "Flight 1," which is the second episode of Season 2. Drugs and racism rear their heads at an office work party. A flight nosedives, and Pete won't be laughing for long. Peggy visits her family and gets more than she bargained for. And Don really just isn't any good at Pinochle!

In case this is your first time digging into Mad Men Men, our podcast recaps Mad Men from the perspective of someone who hasn’t really watched the show, someone who went through it once a long time ago, and a superfan who watches excessively it instead of having a functional social life. You can find our conversations about the first season on our podcast feed, as we are now on a new website.

Mad Men was created by Matthew Weiner and aired on AMC from 2007 to 2015. The show stars Jon Hamm, January Jones, Elisabeth Moss, Vincent Kartheiser, Christina Hendricks, John Slattery, Robert Morse, and many more. The opening instrumental theme heard at the beginning of this podcast is “A Beautiful Mine” by RJD2. Podcast illustration is by Jon Negroni. The podcast is hosted by Jon Negroni (Film Editor of InBetweenDrafts), Will Ashton (cohost of Cinemaholics podcast), and Michael Overhulse (The Original “Negroupie.”)

We’ll be back next week to discuss Season 2 Episode 3, titled “The Benefactor.” Subscribe to Mad Men Men on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, or wherever else podcasts are, ahem, advertised.

And we're back. To do the twist! The twist to a new season that is. In the time since we finished recording season 1, we switched over to InBetweenDrafts, so here we are! Let's get started. This week on the podcast, we discuss "For Those Who Think Young," which is the first episode of Season 2. Valentine's Day sweeps the Sterling Cooper staff and their families. Don's meditating on a poetic emergency. Peggy has a line or two about a line or two. And someone needs to explain diabetes to Pete Campbell.

We did it. We watched a full season of Mad Men. It was extremely easy (we just pressed play on a TV show 13 times). But in other ways it was difficult. We had to put our hands up to the wall and say, "We're here...to podcast." So this week on Mad Men Men, we discuss "The Wheel," the 13th episode of Season 1. Pete Campbell has the opposite of baby fever. But don't tell that to Peggy Olson. Don finds a time machine and why is Betty scheduling so many therapy sessions this week?

My father had a podcast like this, and when I listened to it...that was a mistake. All right, the polls have closed, and Mad Men Men is ahead. That's right, this week we're digging our own graves for "Nixon vs Kennedy," the 12th episode of Season 1. The Sterling Cooper crew is partying it up, complete with Paul Kinsey's stage play. Peggy said all lives matter. Don and Pete are fighting over which of them metaphorically aligns with Kennedy. And Cooper asks the question most people ask when they come across our show. Who cares?

Take a break from your passive exercise regime, it's time for another episode of Mad Men Men. This week, we're unpacking our suitcases for "Indian summer," the 11th episode of Season 1. Peggy's first pitch goes down to the wire(s). Don's affair with Rachel has Betty all hot and bothered. Roger tries makeup for the first time, and is Peggy finally learning to take her work home with her?

We needed a long weekend to collect our thoughts on what is certainly our most contentious Mad Men discussion yet. This week, we're talking about "Long Weekend," the tenth episode of Season 1. Betty's dad is in town, and so is his new girlfriend. Kennedy has a new jingle that's getting all the kids talking. Joan and Carol are coming out for a night on the town! On that note, Don and Roger throw a private party after hours. And is that Rachel Menken's apartment in a movie referencing The Apartment?

We're back from Mamie's funeral, so don't call us Cutups. This week, special guest Katey Stoetzel joins us to shoot yet another episode of Mad Men Men, aptly titled "Shoot," the ninth episode of Season 1. Betty's therapy sessions have been firing on all cylinders. For once, Don's the one getting seduced by a creepy ad executive. And yes, we can confirm Peggy Olsen loves lobster, so all bullies deserve a punch.

Ciao, ciao. We're taking a break from the bowling team this week, and all our holes have been dug, so it's time to talk about Mad Men again! This week, we're marking our podcast for "The Hobo Code," the eighth episode of Season 1. Peggy and Pete come, ahem, into work early. Sal goes on a man date. Don gets high and listens to Jesus, I mean Miles. And this episode has a twist!

You got fingers in your ears? We’re talking about Mad Men! It has episodes on the side and a podcast in the middle. This week, we set our sights on ‘Red in the Face,’ the seventh episode of Season 1. Don feels like he’s living with a child, Betty’s a vegetarian sometimes, Roger parks in the wrong garage, and Pete has a special little errand he gets to run during lunch, today. How exciting for him!

On our first ever Mad Men Men "special," we zero in on just one series of scenes from a recent episode we covered. You might remember how in S1E5 ("5G"), we talked about how the scenes between Dick and Adam could play out as a profound short story and...well, it's time to prove that! This is a re-edit of the audio from the episode, stitched together as a new version of the same story. 

We'll be back next week for our discussion of S1E7, "Red in the Face."
