This week, Jon Negroni and Travis Hymas discuss the latest chapter of the One Piece manga, titled “Settling the Score,” and trust us when we say we're about to score when it comes to chapters with cliffhangers! One Piece 1126 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 (rookiepirateradio@gmail.com) or join our Discord, where we have a special channel devoted to all things One Piece spoilers. 

Discussion Points for One Piece 1126 (Spoilers!):
Are we officially at Elbaf?
Is the lego house a kid giant's toy house?
Why is the missing crew the first six members, A.K.A the Alabasta crew? Is there any significance with that and Vivi possibly reuniting with the Straw Hats soon?
Did Kuzan really intend to kill Garp?
Why are we getting a flashback to a month ago with Bartolomeo and Shanks?

One Piece 1125 Manga Recap – 'What Death Means'

The Chinese Walls are coming down for Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce this week as we dig into Season 4, Episode 11. That's right, Mad Men Men is back for another dive into how Don Draper is the absolute worst at balancing professional and personal relationships, plus how desperation truly drives all of us. As usual, we recap the episode, give our analysis, and reference the director/writer/actors’ commentaries as well as Mad Men Carousel by Matt Zoller Seitz.

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: 
What IS a Chinese Wall in the workplace?
Should we read Sterling's Gold?
Does the episode still work even when it's this on the nose?
How does SCDP come back from this major shakeup?
Can you relate to a workplace crisis like this?
What does Peggy's pitch remind you of?
How has Peggy grown as a character since Season 1?
What is really going on between Don and Megan?
Is this it for Joan and Roger?

Extra credits:

Matthew Weiner created Mad Men, which aired on AMC from 2007 to 2015. Phil Abraham directed “Chinese Wall” and Erin Levy 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).

S4E11 – Chinese Wall

Fittingly enough, we're on our hands and knees begging you to give Mad Men Men a chance. Just don't hit us over the head for it. That's right, this week we're talking about Season 4 Episode 10 of Mad Men, titled "Hands and Knees." As usual, we recap the episode, give our analysis, and reference the director/writer/actors' commentaries as well as Mad Men Carousel by Matt Zoller Seitz.

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: 
Thematically, is "Hands and Knees" a little clunky?
How does the late/great Lynn Shelton do as director with this episode?
What do you make of Don and Pete's changing dynamic since Season 1?
Why do you think Betty bails Don out with the government guys?
What can we glean about Lane after such a strained storyline concerning his father and estranged family?
If this episode is all about secrets, then how can we relay that to each storyline?
What is Joan's perspective on Roger at this point, and what might be going through her mind in the clinic scene?
What makes this episode so bold in terms of the actors' performances?
