They apparently forgot to include the post-production edits in some scenes.

So instead of this:


You get this:

This makes me feel better to reinforce that it was all pretend

That oyster puke would have been something foul

That is hilarious. This basically tells us that it is a TRUE 4k remaster and that all of the original film was scanned frame-by-frame. The problem with doing it this way, is that you need to reapply all your post/vfx work. This clearly got missed

Glad Mad men is added to HBO since I know so many missed it or didn't want to get AMC+. What a great show.

Just started my first ever re-watch. I only watched it once but still remember what feel like every line from Don, Roger, and Pete.

I love Don but Roger makes the show and commands the scene every time he’s in it.

Some of the best one liners of all time!

clown world. nothing like raising your streaming rates and spending less on QC for your IP.

eta how is it possible to release this with the entire audio track swapped for 2 episodes??? they can't pay anyone to actually watch this before pushing it out?

i guess that's what their user base is for.

Similar things have happened before. There was an episode of Gilded Age that was streamed with Spanish as the default language.

But added with the FX problems, this seems like a very "rushed to air" process. I hadn't heard any promotion about Mad Men coming to HBO Max. I'm wondering if they were trying to beef up their catalogue during streaming renewal season.
