Welcome back to Mad Men & Tonic! Better late than never! In S2E3, “The Benefactor,” Kristina and Elias make Dubonnet cocktails, shove their faces into bags of chips, and debate whether commercials can ever be funny. (Drink lesson at 1:07; episode recap and discussion at 5:13). Plus, they start a true crime podcast within the podcast, wonder whether Don Draper is the original American Psycho, and egregiously spoil a movie from 1951.
