I rewatched the show reading Matt Zollers companion book The Carousel, and look forward to living it again through these reviews.I prefer your reviews, especially coming from a newbie. I hope you end up liking the show as much or more than Sopranos, theres so much in there and you hit some of the themes spot-on so cant wait till you get to some of the upcoming twists.

It might be obvious trivia, maybe its obvious if your from New York, the gaslight cafe is also featured in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and Inside Llewyn Davis and started the career of lots of famous people including Bob Dylan.

Jerusalem posted:Francine drinks in hungrily Betty's stories of being a model, a past she knew nothing about and which excites her immensely... and Betty too, as she remembers the exhilarating, terrifying but ESPECIALLY freeing experience of being a model. She was even a muse for awhile for an Italian fashion designer named Giovanni who was obsessed with Americans (he wanted to be called Johnny) and gifted her a number of dresses. She kept all of them and of course they all still fit, and she models them to a gaping Francine who can't quite believe that Giovanni did all this for her... and their relationship was REALLY only platonic? It's an eye-opened for her and a treasured memory dusted off and reexamined for Betty, the memory of a time in her life where she was the center of attention and her life was full of energy and excitement. Maybe its a really obvious reference, but is this supposed to be Gianni Versace?

I had a Mad Men dream after reading this thread before bed last night. I was in a 70s ikea style shop with my girlfriend and we saw Pete Cambell shopping for appliances. I started laughing and pointing and whispered to my girlfriend that Pete's hairline was receding.. Not sure what to make of it.

Did anyone else think this guy looked weirdly similar to Pete?

sebmojo posted:In Breaking Bad the characters are all to some degree subservient to the plot. I don't agree with this tbh. They have said they wrote the show literally episode to episode by looking at each characters motivations and writing naturally from there, rather than following a more natural structure, which led to climactic events happening in random episodes (The cousins) rather than season finales.

I remember in the UK at least for season premiers and stuff they showed period accurate ads instead which was pretty cool.

Bismack Billabongo posted:There’s a moment in one of the season five episodes where you will immediately think, oh, weiner just did this to gently caress with AMC’s money and it is CHOICE. Of course at the time it aired I don’t think the behind the scenes money squabbling was very public but it’s even better now. What part?

God, having gone through some money troubles and stressful times this year due to COVID, it was hard even reading the recap.  RIP lane.

Harrow posted:I have a question for the Mad Men thread. What shows would you recommend in terms of like "if you loved Mad Men, you should watch _______"? There are some obvious answers (The Sopranos, Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul) but I'm wondering what other shows people would recommend. To recommend something a bit different, for period pieces I'm not sure what the critical consensus is but I'm really enjoying The Crown, and for a lighter toned 60's piece maybe Mrs Maisel?

I saw a TikTok of random facts people can’t believe they just figured out and one was that they are called Mad Men as in Madison Avenue. Is that true? I feel really stupid now and think it might have even said that in the pilot opening but not sure if I’m overthinking it.

Sash! posted:It was... Odd. Like it wanted to be a kid's movie but was determined to not be, despite being almost a live action cartoon? It felt like a family guy episode. Some funny bits and characters but Seinfeld was by far the worst part and actor, and its weird he was so obsessed with this movie idea. Jon Hamm can get back into the role easy enough but something seemed off about Roger, like he was doing a different accent or something? He had different vibes.
