Mad Men Men

Mad Men Men

The weekly show where we discuss a show that used to come out weekly. On Mad Men Men, we take a close look at each episode of the AMC series "Mad Men," which ran from 2007 to 2015, gearing our conversation around the conversation the show is having about gender, the patriarchy, and other things that make us mad. Hosted by Jon Negroni, Will Ashton, and Mike Overhulse.

Last week, we paid tribute to Sal Romano's final appearance on Mad Men, so this week we had on Bryan Batt, the actor who plays Sal to talk about all things Mad Men! The best part might be the fact that Will had no idea Bryan was going to be on the show going in, so you get to hear his actual reaction to suddenly seeing Sal himself in the recording studio. Bryan answered all of our questions, even the silly ones, including his head ...

We're just three guys walking into an advertising show, all of us hoping to keep our feet intact. That's right, we're back to discuss and recap Episode 6 of Season 3 of Mad Men, titled "Guy Walks Into an Advertising Agency." Should we plan to mow down the competition when it comes to other Mad Men podcasts?

This podcast was recorded during the 2023 WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. Without the labor of the writers and actors currently on strike, the TV show being covered here wouldn’t exist.

We're in the waiting room with a special guest this week! That's right, we invited Mad Men aficionado Ben Crew to talk with us about Episode 5 of Season 3 of Mad Men, titled "The Fog." Put another way, what if...this is our time? (To podcast).

Sorry we're late with this episode, we were out picking up peaches and smelling the oranges. That's right, this week we're discussing Episode 4 of Season 3 of Mad Men, titled "The Arrangements." As we point out, this is a big episode for characters with "Sal" in their name, and if you happen to coincidentally be a massive Jai Alai fan. Actually, you might not be too happy about how this episode plays out in that case. We also do a ...

We'll give you five dollars if you listen to the latest episode of the Mad Men Men podcast. The only catch, though, is we're going to immediately steal it back. That's right, this week we're discussing Episode 3 of Season 3 of Mad Men, titled "My Old Kentucky Home." An episode so spicy, it gets a disclaimer at the beginning if you're watching the digital version. The workers of Sterling Cooper are attending a garden party with some...

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-...

The world didn't end on Monday, so we can talk! That's right, we're back this week to discuss the return of the Draper. We're recapping Episode 13 of Season 2 of Mad Men, titled "Meditations in an Emergency," though the real emergency is our recording schedule. This is the season finale, of course, so we have plenty of reflections upon Mad Men's sophomore chunk of episodes, which takes plenty of bold swings, but how does it truly s...
