S1E1: Smoke Gets In Your Eyes

Published: May 14, 2020, 1:43 a.m.

Welcome to the first episode of Mad Men & Tonic!  Here we mix Old Fashioneds (drink lesson begins at 1:57) and dive in to Season 1, Episode One, “Smoke Gets in Your Eyes,” (episode recap and discussion begins at 5:33), where we discuss why the show resonates more than ever, christen Pete Campbell the new Rat King, discuss the episode’s possible callback to the Silence of the Lambs, and revel in creepy doctors as an essential TV trope. Five years after the iconic show’s final season, Kristina and Elias mix some *ostensibly* on-theme drinks, recap the episodes, and do their best to explain why Mad Men remains the greatest show of all time. 

* Please note that our audio quality, editing, and flow improve as the podcast goes on.  We're learning!  Thank you for your understanding and kindness*
