This week on The Lettuce Podcast, Laura
and Charlotte return to Madison Avenue to review Season 2 of Mad
Men. They discuss character
arcs, character relationships, and compare culture in the 1960's to
today. Laura talks about why she enjoyed Peggy's struggle with faith
and her family more than Peggy's struggles at work. Charlotte uses
the Wildcard Character slot to talk about one of her favorites: Sal
Romano. They also put the character spotlight on Joan, Pete, Betty,
and more. While discussing culture differences they break down the
now iconic picnic scene, discuss Don's flippant and varied treatment
of women, and Paul Kinsey's girlfriend. Is this season a turning
point for Joan? Does Bobbie Barrett show the audience what it would
be like for Don to date himself? Is Duck Philips literally the worst
person on the planet because he abandons his dog? All these topics
and more are on the table!
During
the Fun & Games segment, Laura couldn't resist the opportunity
for Mad Men Madlibs.
She uses a plot summary of “The Mountain King” (S2, Ep12) as the
inspiration for this silly word game. The hosts also take a quiz to
determine who their ideal Mad Men
hook up should be. Take the quiz and leave your results in the
comment section.
For
this week's Podtails, Charlotte was inspired by the Heineken story-line and enjoyed a beer. Laura was inspired by Sally Draper's
bar-tending skills and sipped on a Tom Collins.
