What the Flick: Mad Men Season 6 Episode 7, "Man with a Plan"


This week's banter on the episode. As usual some great insights.
This week in Mad Men Season 6 Episode 7, "Man with a Plan" we see some big moves from Don, or as Alonso says, "asserting his Don-ness." What has happened in his corporate life-- and his marriage with Megan? Has Don lost an essential part of who he is? Can he ever get it back?

What is the pecking order now at SCDP? Where does Pete stand now? Where is Betty? How is the show handling the major events of history, and is this episode the seminal episode of Mad Men? Will people be able to stick with the show if future episodes continue in the direction of "Man with a Plan?"

5/15: Brian's Drive-to-work Sirius XM Top 6 Tunes

Sup 80s and 90s?

6. Massive Attack - Polaroid Girl - I thought this was relaxing but otherwise boring. Probably need to be stoned?
5. Christina Aguilera - Genie in a Bottle - the former-next-Mariah's big hit, still catchy, hot video.
4. Blur - Song 2 - Song rocks, but too short. Part of the meta joke of the song name, I guess.
3. Sublime - Santeria - Also a classic, great laid back tune.
2. Scarface feat. 2Pac - Smile - Pretty mellow, good flow, good message.
1. Duran Duran - Hungry Like the Wolf - How can you go wrong?! Plus epic table flip.
