Mad Men Happy Hour - Season Seven Wrap Up

Well, now it’s the time for teary good byes and fond farewells.  Except, we’re still going to be releasing podcasts about Mad Men for another, oh, eight months or so.  Tune in and found out our thoughts on the ending of Mad Men, the future of our Mad Men coverage, who’s “okay” and who’s “not okay”, our favorite episodes, songs, and seasons, and how Mad Men stacks up against it’s Golden Age of Television competition.  We’ll be back in a few days or weeks with an interview of Tom Wilson, editor of “Person to Person” among many other classic Mad Men episodes, which you can pass on some questions to using our contact links below.  And starting in June, be on the lookout for our season by season retrospective coverage of Mad Men.  Hope we see you there!

All this and plenty of feedback, coming your way!

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Podcast - 506 – Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken – SpoiLORE Edition

A.Ron here, ready to dish out some more speculation and theories for Game of Thrones! If you are adverse to spoilers, or are not caught up on all of the A Song of Ice and Fire series, you probably want to skip this episode…

Here is your Tinfoil topic archive, in cased you missed any and want to get caught up! Our tinfoil of the week is actually a tinfoil takedown, as A.Ron discusses the many problems he has with Preston Jacobs’s series of videos on the “Tower of Joy”.

Mad Men Happy Hour - 714 – “Person to Person”

Jim and A.Ron think the end of the finale episode of AMC’s Mad Men, entitled “Person to Person”, leaves a lot of room for interpretation, for both cynicism and optimism… What was our take? A little bit of both, to be honest. Listen to hear us talk about how we felt watching Mad Men come to a close, the parts that tugged our heart strings, the parts that had us squealing like school girls, saying our goodbyes to our favorite characters, and paying our ultimate respects to one Matthew Weiner. Thank you for making this excellent show, sir. That might be all for Mad Men, but it is most definitely NOT the last you’ve heard from the Happy Hour. Tune in next week for a series wrap up podcast, and also to hear news for our plans with Mad Men in the months to come. See you then!

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Podcast - 506 – Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken

There is a lot to like about this episode; some real movement with Arya’s plot that inspires a bit of awe and dread, some great quiet moments with Tyrion and Jorah, and some interesting moments of ham fisted court intrigue courtesy one Cersei Lannister. And then there’s everything about Dorne. And, you know, Sansa. Hopefully, we, the show, and Sansa will all bounce back next week. Until then, enjoy the podcast and the feedback, and get ready for our SpoiLORE cast extravaganza coming out Friday. See you then!
