S1E11: Indian Summer

Published: Aug. 3, 2020, 3:49 a.m.

Welcome back for S1E11 - Indian Summer!  It’s a hot one, and Kristina and Elias mix Brandy Alexanders (drink lesson starts at 1:12), have a robust conversation about Foghorn Leghorn, and delve into an episode chock full o’ stereotypes and caricatures, title included (episode discussion/recap starts at 6:07).  The lovestruck mistress, the witty southerner, sweaty Richard Nixon, the mysterious handsome door-to-door salesman, and of course the “multi-purpose” features of the washing machine.  You name it, Mad Men’s got it.
