[MAD MEN S05 E03] - The Femmes jumped for joy over this incredibly empowering female-centric episode! So many amazing themes to unravel, theories to propose, and predictions to make. This season finally got interesting! No podcast would be complete without some ridicule, so the Femmes gab about how stalking was the "text message" of 1966, revel in some Don-is-a-jerk bashing, imagine Peggy in 1980’...

[11] MAD MEN S05 E02 - Harry and Don Go to White Castle 04.04.2012 32:52

[MAD MEN S05 E02] - So many people to offend, so little time: Betty puts on a few pounds: An American Tragedy. We say, "throw some bugles on a sundae and eat without shame!" Sterling is the new Lord Grantham, selling beans to stoners, will Ginsberg and Peggy have hate sex? And more...

[S05 E01] - MEGAN, megan, MEGAN! The Femmes rejoice and ridicule the return of Mad Men. A moment of silence for the good fashions of the past, WHERE THE HELL IS BETTY?, "Fuck You Megan", the new "Dick Whitman" sex game, question whether Betty ever had an orgasm and request MORE SALLY! Pull your bottle of bourbon out of your desk, have a midday drink, and enjoy the rowdy discussion!

[MAD MEN S04 Recap] - After a grueling 2-year long wait, the Femmes discuss the best season yet: Season 4. We gab about how Don lost his game and became "sad Don," MEGAN'S TEETH, our sadness for Faye and how we miss her (TEAM FAYE 4eva!), take bets on the gender of Joan's baby, and discuss what actions we will take at work to honor the Season 5 premiere (smoke at our desk? have a 3-martini lunch?)

[8] Downton Abbey S02 E07 - Let there be LOVE! 24.02.2012 45:52

Many happy endings! Mary wears a Westminster Dog Show dress, Matthew's a modern feminist, a modern "Turk confession," O'Brien's Ouiji board, hooking up in the after-life, and predictions for Season 3!

[7] Downton Abbey S02 E06 - Farewell to the Speedbump 15.02.2012 37:58

The miracle of Matthew's recovery and the beauty of well-timed plague., and Shannon's original Carson/Jane slash! Did you want Cora to die (even for just a second?) Should Ethel have Stella Dallas-ed her baby?

[6] Downton Abbey S02 E05 - Who the f**k is this guy? 09.02.2012 36:26

The annoying visitor who looks like he is auditioning for Face Off 2, is Sir Richard the biggest douche, lesbian slash fiction involving Lavina and Edith, a shame on Carson for slut shaming. Oh, and the war is over.

[5] Downton Abbey S02 E04 - Sass Amongst the Sorrow 01.02.2012 33:58

Shirley Maclaine is coming to Downton! Did Cora have a Bat Mitzvah? Are we really sad about William? And we don't love Branson.

Cora's mean girl behavior, sexting in WWI, Lavina's drab green dress, a Cora pouty-face drinking game, and our new regular segment "F You, Mr. Bates."

[2] Downton Abbey S02 E01 - We Need to talk about Edith 15.01.2012 27:06

War comes to Downton and shakes up the sleepy gentility, wonder if Edith is truly a bitch and whether O’Brien is still a virgin, the tragedy of having to button your own buttons.
