Tie up your bundle, ride the rails, and join us as we break down Mad Men’s eighth episode of season one, The Hobo Code. Don Draper’s past comes into sharper focus as a childhood memory sheds new light on his present-day (circa 1960) persona, while Peggy experiences an unexpected breakthrough at the office. We dive into the show’s depictions of African Americans and Bohemian/alternative cultures along the way—topics that will no doubt evolve as the series continues. As always, we award the characters, moments, and cultural signposts that point us to worlds outward and inward all at once.
