For this holiday edition of “The Vulture TV Podcast,” we’re revisiting a Vulture favorite: Mad Men. In the episode, we present selections from live appearances by Matt Zoller Seitz, currently on tour for his book, Mad Men Carousel, a comprehensive critical analysis of the AMC series. Alongside Roberta Lipp and Amy Cook, Matt recalls his favorite sequences and the show’s anal-retentive qualities, and reexamines its weaker stretches. Listen, and you’ll sound 50 percent smarter at the Thanksgiving dinner table.
