Friday Fixations
Happy Friday, my fellow suffering beings. Each week, I share two things I’m into right now—books, TV shows, movies, music, and the like—plus one online video with nearly zero cultural merit.
Mad Men (on AMC +): I decided to go back and rewatch this show, which I’ve long considered to be one of the top five of all time. As I work my way through season one, my conclusion stays intact.
The Watch: One of my favorite things to do after watching a great episode of a TV show is to tune into a recap podcast. I’ve been listening to this one for years. They’re not currently covering a show that I am wild about, but sometimes I just listen anyway. Their past coverage of shows such as Succession has been truly excellent.
And finally…

I love you sharing these things, Dan. It enriches and adds things for me to potentially try out. Thanks! 😊
Either Mad Men or Community is my #1 show of all time. My wife and I did a Mad Men rewatch a couple years ago, and somehow it's even better on rewatch. "The Suitcase" in particular is my favorite episode of television of all time. I don't know how they crammed the entire spectrum of human emotion into 44 minutes of TV but wow, just stunning stuff.
And delighted to see you love The Watch as well! They were my entry into The Ringer, love Chris and Andy. I've been a bit more into movies than TV lately, and thus am also a devoted The Big Picture listener, shout out Dobb Mob.
Anyway hope Dan and anyone else reading this has a lovely weekend. You are a human being and you are loved. Remember this weekend to do the right thing, even if you don't feel like it.
