It's a JUMBO Ep! 

Dave aka Pop Culture Case Study and I chatted about the Mad Men series finale and the series as a whole in this special bonus episode!

I also wrote about the series finale of Mad Men on the IGGPPC and mentioned some of my favorite quotes. There are quite a few more I had to add in the site post. Thanks to Dave, fellow live tweeter pal Nikki, Sumsy from the IGGPPC, and more friends for brainstorming with me and suggesting about half of these!

Here's the James Meek's article, The Shock of the Pretty, I mentioned reading. It speaks about the juxtaposition between the beauty of the production value of Mad Men and the grittiness of its storylines.

Did you enjoy the season finale? Did our main characters get closure or was it left relatively open? Let us know in the comments!

SURPRISE! Charee, Dave (from Pop Culture Case Study), and I decided to chat about Avengers: Age of Ultron as we all saw it on opening night and had lots of opinions.

What did you think of the movie? Was it too funny? Had any problems with Black Widow's plots? Are you sad to see some members go? Which Avenger would you be?

Spoilers start at 25:38!

Join Lydia, Hadas, and Kendall aka Distracted Blogger in our Common Room as we talk about the Rise of the Dystopian genre. This time, we'll be focusing on what we call Environmental Dystopian and its popularity.

Why are there so many dystopian movies and books shoved in our faces in the last five years? We discuss the difference between Political and Environmental, what effect they might have on minimalism in general and our feelings towards sustainability efforts.

Topical Dish and Obsessions (TDO) are now on their own special mini eps.

Ep 35: Rise of the POLITICAL Dystopian can be heard HERE.
