POPULARITY
On this week’s Mad Men Men, we unpack "At the Codfish Ball." The episode centers on dinners, children, in-laws, and professional wins. More importantly, it asks what growing up really means. Usually, it means learning how badly adults can disappoint you. We talk about Megan as her own person, not just Don’s fantasy. We also explore how the episode uses her family to sharpen that point. Her father resents Don for political and personal reasons. Her mother reads everyone in seconds and acts on it. And Don, for once, feels like a stranger in his own home. Meanwhile, Peggy sees what success looks like when someone else gets it first. Then Roger treats spiritual enlightenment like a new sport coat. And Sally gets one of the show’s best storylines. She starts to see that adulthood does not mean sophistication. Instead, it means mess, compromise, and contamination. Along the way, we dig into the Heinz beans pitch. We also talk about the sadness of professional validation. Then we get into Roger’s post-LSD self-regard and the comic horror of Glenn. Finally, we explain why this episode feels quieter than "Far Away Places" but hits just as hard. Every social ritual strips away a little more innocence. Of course, because this is our show, we also wander into spaghetti, French accents, bean advertising, and Roger Sterling discourse. If you’re new here, Mad Men Men covers Mad Men from three angles. First, we have a first-time watcher. Then, we have a first-time rewatcher. Finally, we have one man who turned Don Draper into a weekly podcast problem. EXTRA CREDITS Matthew Weiner created Mad Men, which 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. Our intro music is "Mad Men Men" by Tom Davidson, which is an original remix of the show’s opening theme "A Beautiful Mine" by RJD2. Podcast illustration is by Jon Negroni. Our podcast hosts include Jon Negroni (Podcast Editor of InBetweenDrafts), Will Ashton (cohost of the Cinemaholics podcast), and Michael Overhulse (a guy who’s addicted to working at startups). We’ll be back soon to discuss Season 5 Episode 8, titled "Lady Lazarus."

“Far Away Places” is one of those Mad Men episodes where the show quietly changes shape. This week on Mad Men Men, we dig into that Season 5 standout. First, the episode fractures a single day into three interlocking stories. Then, it follows Peggy, Roger, and Don as each tries to escape a life that feels unbearable. Meanwhile, Peggy chases professional authority and confronts how lonely ambition can feel. Roger drops acid and stumbles into one of the series’ clearest emotional revelations. At the same time, Don takes a spontaneous trip with Megan. Yet again, he learns that fantasy is easy to build and nearly impossible to inhabit. Along the way, we explore why this might be Mad Men at its most novelistic. We also talk about why the experimentation never feels gimmicky. Instead, it deepens everything. And likewise, the episode’s mirrors, doubling, and displacement turn three plots into variations on one theme. There’s also room for what our show does best. Yes, we riff on orange sherbet, bad intros, and Howard Johnson’s as a site of psychic collapse. And then we talk about the strange relief of realizing your life has become untenable. If you’re new here, Mad Men Men recaps Mad Men through three perspectives. First, we have our first-time viewer. Then there’s our first-time rewatcher. Finally, there’s the guy who has to podcast about everything instead of going to therapy. EXTRA CREDITS Matthew Weiner created Mad Men, which aired on AMC from 2007 to 2015.

Shellac Stack No. 124 kisses Montparnasse with Beatrice Lillie and visits the Codfish Ball with Miss Joy. We've got records by Don Bestor, Mal Hallett, Tom Coakley, the Revelers, Bing Crosby, Johnny Marvin, and many more on this edition packed to the gills with 1920s and '30s pop.
Seriously, deliberately getting Data's chosen pronouns wrong is not cool. We talk about that, along with old age makeup and how Klingons are rad as fuck, in our episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation this week. We watched "Unnatural Selection," "A Matter of Honor," and "Measure of a Man," and two of these are amazing! Then, we watch Mad Men's "At the Codfish Ball" and can't remember if Megan's parents are supposed to be French or French-Canadian. It's the former, right? Next week: Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip.
TV Geek Out covers Mad Men #5.7, "At the Codfish Ball," in which Megan's parents come to visit, Sally dresses up, Don gets an award, and Peggy and Abe plan a big step in their relationship. (Note:...
¡Bienvenidos a nuestro vigésimo tercer programa! ¡Muy buenas, amiguitos! Otra semana más, aquí estamos, acercándonos al final de temporada... de la televisiva, por lo menos. Esta vez, empezamos la "Semana en Serie" con el final de The Good Wife [CBS] y qué tal ha ido la tercera temporada (spoilers, claro), cómo va la temporada de Once Upon a Time [ABC] (spoilers hasta el s01e20), que nos da mucho que pensar y da mucho que hablar, igual que la temporada (única, asumimos) de Awake [NBC] (spoilers hasta el s01e09). Y, para terminar, como "siempre", comentamos qué pasó en Mad Men en el capítulo de esta semana, At the Codfish Ball (s05e07), por supuesto, con muchos spoilers. Después nos vamos a "El Desafío", donde Valen se enfrenta a una película que comparte con la anterior director, el estar basada en un videojuego y el ser una mierda, Alone in the Dark. Y, para compensar, comentamos lo que nos ha parecido el estreno más importante de lo que va de año, The Avengers, de Joss Whedon. A continuación, nos vamos "A la Cocina", donde hoy tenemos pocas cosas. Empezamos con nuestra experiencia con Red Pizza y después seguimos con un experimento, un pastel (de los rápidos que estamos haciendo últimamente) de nubes o, vamos, marshmallows. Dulces locuras... Para acabar, comentaremos varios de vuestros mensajes de Twitter y Facebook... ¡Muchísimas gracias a todos por vuestro apoyo! Seguid así, preguntando, comentando, puntuando y todo lo que queráis.

“At the Codfish Ball” was a solid Mad Men episode, and we tear right into it in this podcast. Everyone comes away disappointed in this episode… Don finds out he’s an advertising pariah, Sally learns that adults are unbelievably gross, Megan learns that even when life is at it’s best, maybe it’s not all that good, Roger is better bagging French MILFs than new business, and A.Ron learns that alcohol can actually kill crucial brain cells in the span of an 80 minute podcast.
