Description
The Cinema of Mad Men has arrived! On today’s podcast we start by talking about the series as a whole before breaking down its first masterpiece of an episode, “Babylon”. Sterling Cooper takes on the Israeli tourism board, Don is stuck between three women, Peggy has her breakout moment in the office, and Roger and Joan’s affair is revealed. Then, we talk about Jean Negulesco’s women-in-the-workplace melodrama, The Best of Everything, which is the closest cinematic comparison to the show. 00:00 - Mad Men 22:10 - Babylon 1:15:53 - The Best of Everything get an extra episode every week at https://www.patreon.com/Extended_Clip email us at [email protected]
