It was Pete who saved Don from possible charges of desertion by torpedoing a multi million dollar account when the Pentagon started running background checks. Pete threw away numerous man hours of networking to help Don. The Pete of Season 1 would have relished sticking it to Don,but at that point in the storyline,

Good point. Pearl Harbor probably doesn't count as a Disaster Movie, but I would like to hear resident Disaster Movie Expert Justin Case sit in and give his thoughts on the movie.

Long, long shot..but wouldn't it be awesome if it was Pearl Harbor?

Pete saying he could give Ken a recommendation if the writing career stalled didn't help matters. Ken's pleasant attitude took a different turn after Pete said that. Sad thing is I think Pete was trying to be earnest

I know what you mean. With all the Marvel news in the last few months, Age of Ultron almost feels like a rerun and it's not even out yet.

"I heard one time his estranged half brother came all the way to New York just to reestablish their relationship. But Don would have none of that. The bastard paid him off just to get out of his life. You know what his brother did? He hung himself!" TO DON DRAPER!

With Jimmy Fallon and Justin Timberlake as Trudy and Pete doing the Charleston.

You're right about Duck. If they had this "sitdown" shortly after the Hershey meeting and before Roger's deal with McCann, Cutler would likely pick Duck's brain for any insight on getting Don fired. Having Betty was Henry's top priority (especially since he hit on her when she was visibly pregnant), but I got the

Maybe there could be a scene where all of Don's adversaries (Duck, Jimmy Barrett, Cutler, Henry) debate over who's life was ruined worse by Don. It could be Weiner's version of a Bill Brasky sketch. "He told the Hershey's people he was raised in a whorehouse! Cost me millions!" TO DON DRAPER!!!

It's funny I'm currently rewatching Carla's final episode. The way Betty fired her was unforgivable. How would Carla have any idea about Betty's hang up with a ten to twelve year old boy? She basically tells Carla not to give parenting advice because the latter's kids surely "aren't doctors or lawyers" and then

Stuart's great. I appreciate how he's willing to meet a movie on its own terms. They have a great ability to make me want to revisit a film title I haven't thought of in sometime. I almost regretted trading my Road to Perdition DVD many years ago after hearing their episode. Ultimately, I was too cheap to rent it.

I also liked his Captain Phillips/Deep Blue Sea rift. "I'm a shark. I can't go back now!"

It's Next of Kin (based on Andrew's letterboxd)

I'm a big fan. They manage to stay focused on the series in general without being boring or too snarky. (Snark can be good, but too many film podcasts overindulge themselves in it). Looking forward to their book project.

Gave up on The Canon after The Shawshank Redemption episode. Sure, it's not the greatest movie ever made, but I think its fanbase extends beyond just 20something white guys. The hosts trying to sell themselves as punk anarchist film blogger/critics taking on the mainstream became too much for me. At least they fought

Stewart had the great joke "For those keeping score. Three 6 Mafia has 1 Oscar, Martin Scorsese 0 Oscars"

Announcer: Robert Blake's character from Lost Highway

I can remember them having a 10 year tribute to Chicago when they should have lobbied for a 40th Godfather tribute. How cool would it have been to see Coppola and the surviving cast on stage? Instead, we got to catch up on Queen Latifah.

"Hey everyone. This is Don Lemon. Can someone tell me if that sci-fi movie Selma is any good?"

Nick Nolte stood up only to rip a loud one.
