Welcome back! This week on Mad Men & Tonic, Kristina and Elias mix Bloody Mary’s and sit down to discuss S2E4, “Three Sundays.” Kristina grumbles about why vodka is only ok to drink before 5pm if it’s in a Bloody Mary, and then doubles down on the “hot priest” trope, including bleach blonde Edward Norton in an obscure 2000s film (drink lesson at 1:17, episode recap and discussion at 4:05). Then they dive into Don’s indecipherable American Airlines pitch, discuss Raisin Bran’s proper place in the sugar cereal pantheon, and dive into Mad Men’s tendency to destroy some of their favorite childhood tv and movie characters.
