Meditations in an Emergency S2 Ep13

The Old Fashioned Breakdown: A Mad Men Podcast

When we started on this episode the was a threat of world war, companies were threstening redundancies and ever since there's been an uproar about planned pregnancies. Good Job we have a fun tv show to let us forget real life, AMIRITE!?
In this episode Fola tries not to pretend he understands any academic notions of semiotics and how they relate to not only this episode but Mad Men in general.
The guys try to explain the use of metaphor and metonymy in psychology and human perception while at the same time trying to figure out the true meaning behind Betty eating cold chicken out of the fridge in the dead of night. They try to cover the following subjects.... and more:

Sign, Signifier, Signified

Cuban Missile Crisis

Mimetic Desire

Anyway
