This week on Mad Men Men, we venture back out to sunny Los Angeles to visit our old friend Anna Draper and get some decidedly NOT good news to ring in the new year. But at least Don gets to stay in his Lane. 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: 

  • Why do some people dislike the California portion of this episode?
  • Why are we so surprised to see Greg being somewhat competent?
  • What's the real dynamic between Don and Anna?
  • Does Anna know she's dying?
  • Why does this episode switch to the Lane night out?
  • Why is this episode called "The Good News?"
