No this isn't about Mad Men. I did talk about Mad Men in the podcast though! This is from a new podcast I'm doing with my brother Dan!  It's called 'We Have the Technology' and it's about the classic 70s show the Six Million Dollar Man. Every month or so Dan and I will talk about a couple of episodes. You know, like with Steve, except Dan isn't Steve as much as he's Dan Brodbe

No this isn't about Mad Men, but you know what?  We don't care, what did you pay for this anyway? We have a new project and we thought we'd force you to listen to it.  It's about the Black Sheep Squadron and it's right here. VMAF 214 Patch todayYes yes, you knew it was coming. We've dropped enough hints. Hell, on the retro TV podcast I am a part of I covered this sho

We're now taking on 'The Rockford Files' which is a favourite of both of ours, from our childhoods.  That's with good reason by the way, this is one of the most important action/PI shows in the history of TV. We're dropping this episode into your Mad Men feed to give you a taste.  This will be the last time!  Promise. Today begin this, well, multi year, journey with

Every year in the Canadian amateur podcasting realm (not sure it that's the right word and unlike Steve, I don't have a PhD in English...) has a thing called 'Canadian National Day of Podcasting' wherein podcasters put out a show on Dec 1, new or old or anything else. So Steve and I decided to do a CNDOP episode. We talk history. What did Mad Men do well? What did it do poorly? Wha

It's here. I'm writing this before tonight's recording.  I've read Steve's comments on the finale in our Google doc.  I know how this will go.  I'm still oddly nervous and sad.  (Steve and I have another project coming, stay tuned to this space). Don teaches the world to sing. Stephanie and Dick go to Big Sur.  Damn some of the therapy in there was bad bad

Welcome to our discussion of the penultimate episode of the series! Though we will do two more on the podcast to hit 100.  Once we hit 100 that sweet syndication money starts to roll in! MAX GAIL! We both love the old Coke machine. We're not fond of Pete's brother, or that guy from Lear Jet. Duck is back!  Duck's better drunk, oddly enough. Is Pete sincere?  I think

That is, undoubtedly, the worst title I have come up with. Is there anything better than Peggy walking into McCann with a butt and her box of stuff? Rattling window! Jet plane! Don leaves! ROBERT MORSE!  We would both watch a show where Don Draper and the ghost of Bert Cooper travel around the midwest solving crimes.  We could call it 'Highway to Objectivism' (Credit to N

Not a great title, clever title wise, but not bad. We're getting near the end, the music is getting melancholy too. Irksome is the word of the day. There are a few emotionally manipulating scenes in the episode, I don't mind being manipulated when it is done well. Stan is great in this one. Don goes searching for Diana, but finds two guys in her old place. Lou gets a happy ending.

As I keep noting, we're getting near the end. There's a melancholy property to the music. (Speaking of music 'The First Time Ever I saw Your Face' is a pretty great song). The show knows it's almost over too, and sort of keeps reminding us, or at least commenting on it. No Diana happily... Hey, it's Captain Pike!  No not that Captain Pike, the other one. Don is selling the apa

Getting close to the end. It's the last we'll see of Diana, and while I don't hate the arc, it is worn. I make what I think is an extremely clever analysis of the Calvet family. Harry is horrible. Megan is now a millionaire. I think Don is sorry. Is Marie leaving Emile for Roger? Is Meredith the best thing ever? mp3 download
