EMMYS Predictions 2022

Our long hiatus is over! Just in time for everyone to be revisiting this masterpiece with HBO Max, we conclude our return to Mad Men in a packed 2-parter finale, starting with Season 7 Part One: The Beginning. (Rec. 5/25/25)

Come for our excavation into the beguiling final episodes of Don's journey, stay for 30 minutes of us crying about Elizabeth Hofstadt Draper Francis.

Cutler! Gleason! Chaough! Oh my! Season 6 sees yet another shakeup for the agency, as marriages are tested, vices go unchecked, and children are forced to mature too quickly. And of course, the one and only Linda Cardellini.

Zou Bisou Bisou babes! It's our richest (aka longest) Mad Men retrospective yet. From Betty's transformation, to Joan's powerful choices, to the tragedy of Layne Price, Carl and Kate agree that Season 5 is Mad Men at its absolute best, and that's saying something.

Enter the era of SCDP! But a brand new office and firm isn't enough to keep Don from spinning out. Kate and Carl unpack this transitional season that offers some of the series' most poignant moments.

Bye Bye Birdie, Hello 1963! We dive into the fever dreams of Mad Men's third season, from Betty's pregnancy hallucinations to the nightmare of Roger's Derby Day party and everything in between.

Dust off your copies of Frank O'Hara and Sylvia Plath, it's time for Mad Men season two! Equestrian Betty! California Don! And sweet, beloved Chauncey. As always, Kate and Carl have too much to say about the richest text in TV history.

We're back! And we're changing things up. Broadcast Revisited returns for an epic 8-part series, revisiting the AMC masterpiece MAD MEN (2007-2015). Long considered Kate and Carl's favorite TV show of all time, join us the first Monday of every month as we rewatch all 8 seasons of Don, Peggy, Pete, Joan, and the whole gang.

It's that time of year again--and just under the wire! Kate and Carl bring you their Will Wins, Should Wins, Could Wins for this year's Emmys contenders. Will Abbott Elementary unseat Ted Lasso? Will Melanie Lynskey get her due? Will Jessica Chastain pull an upset in a category for which she is not nominated? Let's speculate wildly! 

Bonus episode! Kate is joined once again by Queer Movie Night co-host extraordinaire Deb Duncan and the internet's very own Janie Bryant to discuss the new gem of a series, A League of Their Own, streaming on Prime Video. Created by Abbi Jacobson and Will Graham, this series explores hidden histories with dignity and joy, all set against the backdrop of the world so lovingly introduced by Penny Marshall's 1992 film.
