This week on Rookie Pirate Radio, Jon Negroni and Travis Hymas discuss the latest chapter of the One Piece manga, titled “The Wings of Icarus.” One Piece 1114 is currently available to read for free on Viz.

We want your feedback! You can email us (rookipirateradio@gmail.com) or join our Discord to share your own theories, speculation, and suggestions.

Discussion Points for One Piece 1114 (Spoilers!):
Vegapunk's message about the world sinking is apparently reaching the ENTIRE world!
The Mother Flame has some metaphorical connections to nuclear power and the history of Japan...
There's still some mystery behind how Vegapunk "discovered" the Mother Flame, what it's true nature is, and why the Gorsosei didn't suspect him deciphering the Poneglyphs sooner.
The Iron Giant is apparently super resistant to fire and explosions.
JoyBoy being the first pirate is a longtime theory that has always made a ton of sense, and we definitely expect him to be the "special character" Oda has been teasing to have an eyepatch.
The mystery of Logia fruits and their elemental nature, as well as the hints behind flames powered by "passion."
Impel Down could be a seriously pivotal location moving forward, especially if Doflamingo escapes and joins either the Cross Guild or even the Revolutionary Army.
Akainu is going to continue to be evil, sorry not sorry.
The broadcast snail being hidden inside the Iron Giant makes a ton of sense!
Elbaf isn't going to just be another standalone island adventure arc, it's gotta tie into a bigger war arc somehow.

One Piece 1114 Manga Recap – 'The Wings of Icarus'

This week on Mad Men Men, we kick off Season 4 with “Public Relations,” which is pretty much a pilot type of episode smack dab in the middle of the whole series. In case this is your first time digging into our podcast, we recap Mad Men from the perspective of a first-time watcher, someone who only watched the show once while it was airing, and a superfan who watches excessively instead of having a functional social life.

Discussion Points: 
How is “Public Relations” like a pilot of its own?
Does Matthew Weiner prefer writing pilots over season arcs?
Why is Don so resistant to dating after his divorce?
Why is Don, a character pretty used to reinventing himself, so resistant to change in this episode, like with the reporter?
Is Peggy now the Season 1 Don?
What do we make of Joey in his first appearance?
Why didn’t the new agency hire Paul and Ken?
Why doesn’t Betty want to move to a new house with Henry?
Should we compare Peggy and Pete to Sally and Bobby when it comes to the effects of Don’s divorce?
How did the 60s change after JFK’s assassination?
Is the Jantzen ad good or not? Modern or not?

Extra credits 

Matthew Weiner created Mad Men, which aired on AMC from 2007 to 2015. Phil Abraham directed this episode — “Public Relations” — and Matthew Weiner wrote the script. The show stars Jon Hamm, January Jones, Elisabeth Moss, Vincent Kartheiser, Christina Hendricks, John Slattery, Robert Morse, and many more. Our intro music is “Mad Men Men” by Tom Davidson, which is an original remix of the show’s opening theme “A Beautiful Mine” by RJD2. Podcast illustration is by Jon Negroni. Our podcast hosts include Jon Negroni (Podcast Editor of InBetweenDrafts), Will Ashton (cohost of the Cinemaholics podcast), and Michael Overhulse (a guy who’s addicted to working at startups).

We’ll be back soon to discuss Season 4 Episode 2, titled “Christmas Comes But Once a Year.” Subscribe to Mad Men Men on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, or wherever else podcasts are, ahem, advertised. You can find our conversations about the first season on our podcast feed, as we are now on a new website.

S4E1 – Public Relations

This week on Rookie Pirate Radio, Jon Negroni and Travis Hymas discuss the latest chapter of the One Piece manga, titled “Inner Conflict.” One Piece 1116 is currently available to read for free on Viz.

We want your feedback! If you have any questions, corrections, or your own theories and speculation, you can either email us (rookipirateradio@gmail.com) or join our Discord, where we have a special channel devoted to all things One Piece spoilers! 

Discussion Points for One Piece 1116 (Spoilers!):
How does Vegapunk know that the Roger pirates know everything about the Void Century? Did he get some of his info from a Roger pirate?
Why is Jon so hung up on his theory that Joy Boy was a fishman and partly responsible for the Ancient Weapons sinking the world?
What is Toki's connection to Lily, if any, and could she have brought the Nika fruit forward in time? What if she knew it was hidden in Wano, and that's why the World Government didn't get their hands on it until after Oden died?
Stussy and CP0 cover story next? Could they run into Miss Buckin and Marco while they're going after Weevil?
What if the whole One Piece situation is an elaborate game made up by Joy Boy, hence it's on a timer?
Are devil fruits mythical or more scientific? Or both?!

One Piece 1116 Manga Recap – 'Inner Conflict'

Special guest Jeff Swystun, an actual Madison Avenue advertising veteran, joins us to discuss the Season 3 finale of Mad Men! Often praised as one of the best episodes of the entire series, we're far from closing the door on new tidbits, trivia, and ideas to unpack in this exciting season closer.

Discussion Points:
How characters in Mad Men balance their personal and professional challenges, particularly in this episode.
Why do Don and Roger choose Pete over Ken?
The role of father and mother figures in shaping the characters' experiences and relationships.
Needs vs. wants. "Shut the Door. Have a Seat."is all about decisive action.
The emotional toll of divorce on children was particularly tricky to navigate in the 1960s.
This is a truly pivotal episode for every single character in the show, and that's obviously intentional.
A running thread of the show is that the characters in are driven by a desire for stability and a sense of identity.
The show effectively captures the cultural and societal changes of the 1960s through the lens of the advertising profession.

Extra Credits:

Matthew Weiner created Mad Men, which aired on AMC from 2007 to 2015. Matthew Weiner directed this episode — “Shut the Door. Have a Seat.” — and he co-wrote the script with Erin Levy.
