Here's hoping you love Mad Men Men as much as you love popsicles. That's right, we're back this week to discuss the California dreamin' of one Dick Whitman. This week we're recapping Episode 12 of Season 2 of Mad Men, titled "The Mountain King," which is scary and we know. This is the penultimate episode of what some people consider the show's bumpiest season, but where do the Mad Men men stand? Well first we have to sit down for a meeting of the partners. Hopefully you can hear us over the Xerox machine. And look, someone brought tarot cards to the podcast!
In case this is your first time digging into Mad Men Men, our humble little baby 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.
