Manufacturing a Dream: A Mad Men Retrospective

Video Description

Mad Men was one of the high points of television in its era, offering sharp commentary on the world of the 1960s, and how it reflects our present day. I first watched this series back when it aired, and revisiting it was a real joy. It still holds up very well, though parts of it do hit a bit different over 15 years later. This is my first foray into such a dense series, and I hope you all enjoy it. 0:00 - Intro 10:26 - The Pilot 18:10 - Early Don 33:08 - First Impressions 35:09 - Lonely Housewife 49:53 - Fortunate Son 1:00:47 - Casual Hate 1:09:57 - More Than "Don's Girl" 1:25:52 - Pryce of New York 1:32:10 - Pair of Tens 1:43:21 - Child Problem 1:50:53 - Don Revisited 2:02:25 - The Finale 2:08:42 - Product Placement 2:13:13 - Legacy Follow me on Twitter: https://twitter.com/JoseNotAJay Follow me on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/josebird.bsky.social Contribute to my Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/JoseOnYoutube Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCeDKIj0G5XbultKOQnacu_w/join Thumbnail concept by https://fluttr.me
