Don’s got shaving cream in the mirror, Megan’s got a mop and a plan, and Lane Pryce is one wallet away from going full American Psycho. It’s A Little Kiss Part 2! And on this episode of Mad Men Men, Jon Negroni, Will Ashton, and Mike Overhulse are breaking down the second half of Mad Men’s bold, chaotic, and deeply handsy Season 5 premiere. This episode also covers the real-world 1960s context behind the show’s uneasy depiction of civil rights “progress.” Plus some surprising behind-the-scenes trivia, including how production on this episode had to jump around thanks to January Jones’s real-life pregnancy. And yes, we finally address that Reddit theory about Masters of Sex. In case you’re new here, Mad Men Men recaps Mad Men through the perspectives of three different types of viewers: a first-timer, a first-time rewatcher, and someone who thought the best way to deal with their feelings about Don Draper was to start a podcast. EXTRA CREDITS Matthew Weiner created Mad Men, which aired on AMC from 2007 to 2015. Matthew Weiner directed “A Little Kiss (Part 2)” and Jennifer Getzinger wrote the script. 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 don't like what we've been saying lately, so we're changing the conversation. That's right, we're back this week to discuss Episode 2 of Season 3 of Mad Men, titled "Love Among the Ruins." This is an episode all about replacing the old with the new, whether it's the sound of Ann Margaret's voice selling you Diet Pepsi or Peggy doing something new. Having sex! Well, almost. Elsewhere in the Mad Men universe, we see Don going toe-to-toe with one of his oldest rivals, Betty's father Gene. But he's been warming up on awkward conversation thanks to a double date with Lane Pryce and his wife Rebecca. 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.

This episode, “Love Among the Ruins,” was directed by Lesli Linka Glatter and written by Cathryn Humphris and Matthew Weiner.

Peabody- and Gracie-winning Chicago sports talk host JULIE DiCARO returns to the show to help Brad shake off the looming trauma of HBO's "Chernobyl" series. Just who was to blame for an accident that almost killed everyone ... like, ever? Is Brad an awful person for not caring if TV dogs get shot? (Uh, yes.) And is it xenophobic to call the lead character "Lane Pryce" the whole time? (Also, yes.)
Jared Harris and HFPA journalist Nellee Holmes met at AMC's office to talk about his current show The Terror before jumping back into his life to discuss his youth at boarding school, his decision to go into acting, and why the TSA would stop him at customs.

Today on The Neil Haley Show, The Total Tutor Neil Haley will interview Jared Harris of AMC's The Terror. SHOW SYNOPSIS Inspired by a true story, The Terror centers on the British Royal Navy's perilous voyage into unchartered territory as the crew attempts to discover the Northwest Passage. Faced with treacherous conditions, limited resources, dwindling hope and fear of the unknown, the crew is pushed to the brink of extinction. Frozen, isolated and stuck at the end of the earth, The Terror highlights all that can go wrong when a group of men, desperate to survive, struggle not only with the elements, but with each other. JARED HARRIS Plays Captain Francis Crozier British-born SAG Award-winning actor Jared Harris is on a hot streak, starring in Netflix's award-winning series The Crown as King George VI, co-starring with Brad Pitt and Marion Cotillard in Allied and appearing in the critically acclaimed independent film Certain Women alongside Kristen Stewart, Laura Dern and Michelle Williams. Harris is probably best known for his role as 1960s ad executive “Lane Pryce” in AMC's award-winning drama Mad Men, for which he earned his first Primetime Emmy® nomination in the category of Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series. The show itself won the Golden Globe® Award for Best Drama Series three consecutive times, the first and only series to ever do so, and four consecutive Primetime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Drama Series. Mad Men was nominated once again for a 2012 and 2013 Primetime Emmy in the same category.
Man, there is a good television show buried somewhere deep in Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, but it's barely visible through the haze of Aaron Sorkin's smugness. We watch "Nevada Day," Parts 1 and 2, and "The Option Period" and try to find it. Come for the nonstop political tirades, stay for the inside baseball plot points about screenplay formatting! Then, Mad Men sends Lane Pryce careering off the deep end in "Commissions and Fees."
We're talking Star Trek: The Next Generation season 2 this week, and boy does this season earn its reputation. We watch "The Outrageous Okona," "Loud as a Whisper," and "The Schizoid Man," and try desperately to find anything resembling a plot. In any of them. (For real, a good chunk of one of the episode is watching Data watch Joe Piscipo do a Jerry Lewis impression. It's that kind of season of TV.) Then, we talk Mad Men, as "Signal 30" digs deep into Pete Campbell and Lane Pryce. Yes, it's the Pete-Lane fistfight episode.

Signal 30 could have been called "Signal Awesome." This remarkable feat of cinematography shows us that even though Campbell soup is mmm mmm good, Pete Campbell is mmm mmm creepy all the way around. Lane Pryce has a mean left cross and Kenny Cosgrove is still the best person at SCDP. Great contributions, as always, from our listeners and for that we sincerely thank yo
Episode 4 "The Good News" brings about Medicinal Marijuana for a broken leg, some just terrible hillbilly jokes, and floral deliveries gone awry. If you've never seen and English man drunk, don't miss Lane Pryce at the movies. Thanks so much for all the listener participation, filling up the Mad Men Mail Bag, the Facebook and iTunes. Look for our in-show twitter session next week.
