Kevin TheMahadMan @themahadman.bsky.social · 15/01/2025I tried watching Mad Men before entering the world of marketing, and I could not get into it. I'm finally giving it a second chance. Off the bat, it hits so many realities of the job. I anticipate this being my favorite parts and Don Draper's bullshit continuing to be my least favorite. 010
Kevin TheMahadMan @themahadman.bsky.social · 10/01/2025Black Mirror has certainly had its ups and downs -- but every season has had an absolute banger and winner of an episode. "Joan is Awful" one hundred percent falls into that category. 000
Kevin TheMahadMan @themahadman.bsky.social · 10/01/2025We need the release to subconsciously remind us it's not real. Again this is where "Joan is Awful" succeeds. Not to say this episode doesn't consider the human element. It does. But the human piece is secondary to the tech, which is a bit rare in the series. 100
Kevin TheMahadMan @themahadman.bsky.social · 10/01/2025We know we're watching fiction and we can live in the fear because it's a fear that's (usually but not always) left on the screen. When horror becomes this close to reality, the dread can feel oppressive. Moments of levity become necessary. 100
Kevin TheMahadMan @themahadman.bsky.social · 10/01/2025It saw the writing on the wall and explored it masterfully. Interestingly, it's also why the episode is so damn funny. Black Mirror tends to be grim. To address the horrors of technology is to be a horror series. But horror works for many because we know it isn't real. 100
Kevin TheMahadMan @themahadman.bsky.social · 10/01/2025It plays with fears and themes not just around technology but around corporations and capitalism that are very much happening right now. It's timely, pertinent, and all too real. This episode premiered before the recent Strikes, which were partially about the usage of AI likenesses in the future. 100
Kevin TheMahadMan @themahadman.bsky.social · 10/01/2025This tech always feels two steps away from reality, always just out of reach. Close as we are to some of the advances seen in those episodes, we're still far away - even though those episodes are a decade old. Except "Joan is Awful" plays with technology that feels one step away or less. 100
Kevin TheMahadMan @themahadman.bsky.social · 10/01/2025Black Mirror has always found success in tackling the human condition while using technology as a backdrop. Episodes like "The Entire History of You," "San Junipero," and "I'll Be Right Back" are considered the best because they use non-existent tech to show who we are as people. 100
Kevin TheMahadMan @themahadman.bsky.social · 10/01/2025"Joan is Awful" already rises to the ranks of one of Black Mirror's best by having Salma Hayek say (among many other hilarious lines) "paragraph eight can suck my dick," but it also does something very different from other episodes and does it fantastically well. Allow me to explain... 100
