Mad Femmes

Podcast 9 (Season 5, Episode 8) TOXIC SMOG

The Femmes smell something in the air, and it’s not Thanksgiving turkey–it’s passive aggressive envy! Don ditches Ginsburg’s ideas in the cab, Betty drops the Anna-Bomb on Sally, Peggy loses her shit with Roger, and Megan’s friend is just all ‘Buy me champagne, beatch.” We wonder why Betty only gets one brussels sprout, suggest Peggy try some LSD to get her groove back (and maybe give the show’s writers some as well), and demand MORE STAN!

So pour yourself a tall glass of Manischewitz and take cover,because we’re throwing snowballs at this toxic episode!

Podcast 8 (Season 5, Episode 7) MEGAN PROBLEMS

The Femmes are unmoved by an episode that asks us to care about Megan’s unfulfilled acting dreams.

Despite looking good on paper (Rory Gilmore! Pizza Haus! Ginsburg’s F-Bomb!) we wonder what the point of it all is. We discuss Megan problems, Pete problems, Don’s old fogey problems, and Cool Whip (just try it, already!). In fact, even talking about the episode bores us so much, we temporarily change the channel to Sherlock. But we’re lured back by the prospect of someone’s gruesome death by elevator shaft.

So light up a joint and slip that Beatles album on the turntable. We hear if you play it backwards, it says “Paul Kinsey is dead”

Podcast 7 (Season5, Episode 6): MOMMY NOT SO DEAREST

My Mother, Myse— oh God, I don’t want to be like any of those Mothers!

Yes, Marie has a lot of um, talents that she has passed onto Megan. Get your head out of the gutter! I mean that they are both snazzy dressers! Well now that we have that straight…

The Femmes break down this family-driven episode where we meet Marie the glamourpuss, discuss the validity of the Quebec accents (luckily we have Canadian experts!), gossip about the new power couple: Roger and Sally, exclaim over the BEST LINE EVER, wonder if Glen will become a serial killer or a computer programmer, and gush over the possibility of Joan and Peggy as besties 4 eva!

We leave you with our a preview of the next Mad Femmes based on the stylings of the AMC previews. We hope you enjoy this very special podcast that is all about the mamas and their dysfunctional slutty daughters (hell ya!).

Don’t be shy, slip some vodka in our Shirley Temple and enjoy this “dirty” podcast!

So many of the fashion comments made by the Femmes in the latest podcast are echoed here. We are catching onto the subtle fashion story behind each episode!

She’s the CUTEST!!

Podcast 6 (Season 5, Episode 5) WAIT, ARE WE IN THE TRUTH, OR IN THE NOT TRUTH?

WTF Peggy?! WTF Sterling?! WTF Don?!

The Femmes struggle to get their bearings straight after this topsy turvy episode! All bets are off after the rules have been broken. You know it’s going to be a good episode when Angela’s mom from My So Called Life feeds Roger acid, Peggy is a Catholic school girl gone bad (uniform and all!), Jane is sleeping in J.Lo’s Versace dress, Don dares to get between a woman and her pie, and Cooper becomes Don’s fairy godmother.

So pop a sugar cube…I mean, pop open a bottle of champagne, and enjoy the wild trip…I mean, ride.

Great, now I’m confused too.

Podcast 5 (S05,Episode 4): SAD MEN

We first had Betty Puts On a Few Pounds: An American Tragedy and now we have Pete Campbell Has Everything and Still Isn’t Happy: An American Tragedy.

If last episode was all about the ladies, this episode is all about the MEN and how damn sad they are. Nevermind about civil rights, these men have real problems and the Femmes dig into them.

After the shock of Don’s PLAID JACKET, the ladies laugh about Lane and Pete’s tickle fight, gush about their crushes on both Don and Ken, ask if anyone else thought Ken was writing erotica before he mentioned sci-fi, discuss possible explanations for GUM in PUBES, ponder whether Megan was a porn star, and applaud Joan for handling yet another man-beast with class and dignity.

It’s cocktail time somewhere in the world so shake a martini, pull up a chair, and listen to the hilarity!

Podcast 4 (S05, Episode 3): Take Two Pills and Never Call Me



The Femmes jumped for joy over this incredibly empowering female-centric episode! So many amazing themes to unravel, theories to propose, and predictions to make.

This season finally got interesting! No podcast would be complete without some ridicule, so the Femmes gab about how stalking was the “text message” of 1966, revel in some Don-is-a-jerk bashing, imagine Peggy in the 1980’s with her shoulder pad laden pantsuit, and laugh about how Joan’s mom is the ultimate wingwoman.

Light up your Virginia Slims and sip on a Cosmopolitan because this episode is all about the LADIES!

Granted, I haven’t read this article — but the heading pissed me off quickly!

Inside Episode 504 Mad Men: Mystery Date

Matthew Weiner and the cast explore what it means to be a man and how that theme is explored throughout this past episode.

For such an incredibly female-centric episode, I’m flat out offended that Matthew Weiner discusses how this episode is about manhood!

Podcast 3 (S05 Episode 2): Harry and Don Go To White Castle

Betty used to look like Barbie. Now, I think she looks like Fat Barbie. By the way, I LOVE Fat Barbie.

Podcast 2 (S05 Episode 1): Zou Bisou BARF!

Why are we JUST discovering Tom & Lorenzo’s Mad Style Blog?

From their commentary on the fashion differences: “Trudy’s dress in particular looks mature in comparison to the younger styles in the room. The frilly cuffs, high collar and full, knee-length skirt almost look dowdy next to Ken’s wife’s eye-popping minidress in a bright orange harlequin pattern. With her dangling earrings and kicky short haircut, she looks way more tuned into current styles than Trudy is.”
