Last night we got the podcast for Episode 405, “Shotgun”, up at about 11pm EST. So if you missed it, check it out! It was a bit different, usually Jim runs the cast and I just mouth off here and there, but due to a technical problem, Jim lost his show notes, so we had to use…
Moving on to the recap, we discuss Aztec badassery, Walt’s good vibrations, Jesse making good use of keys, Hank getting out, right before he gets pulled back in, the Incurable Cough of Death rearing it’s ugly, tuberculous head, knocking boots at the Casablanca, Tuvok’s mastery of the forklift, the least subtle assassination attempt of all time, and Walt’s overweening arrogance.
First things first, we can put behind us the bickering between Sony and AMC, because Breaking Bad has been renewed for a fifth and most importantly final season. The big news is that it consists of sixteen episodes, which is basically a season and a third, on average. The cynic in me wonders what in…
Looking for A.Ron’s take? What an incredible Breaking Bad episode tonight! It’s packed full of so much symbolism and character reinforcement that it hurts – some characters more than others. Colors are always a good indicator of a characters state of mind in this show, as most of my readers probably know. But they become…
Looking for Jim’s take? This was a great episode. Jim’s raving about it, which is okay, although I’m not like that about it. I think what I admired most was the pacing. Lots of good acting work and letting the audience draw conclusions, with a nice action payoff. The opening shot was reminicent of the…
Light news today, like most Fridays. I’ll definitely be expanding on my essay this weekend on where Gus, Walt, and Hank are heading this weekend; like us on Facebook or follow us on Twitter if you want to know when it hits. Can’t wait for this week’s episode to get here, because it looks like…
We are back after last week’s hiatus. Honestly, I’m heartbroken we lost the Jim Jones Experiment. It was an hour long mind fuck of yours truly by Jim Jones, and it was weird, it was uncomfortable, it was hilarious by the end, and it would have been legendary, and then Jim deleted it, with no backups. Because, I dunno? Mac people don’t make good backups. I guess?
If you missed it, I wrote a little essay yesterday about where I see Walt, Hank, and Gus going. I’ve got some feedback that I’ll try to work into a part two / refinement sometime over the weekend. Some good news about the deal between Sony and AMC for the fifth season of Breaking Bad,…
Actually, I couldn’t find any real news today. I mean sure, there are endless recaps and rehashing of the same old stuff, but nothing really genuinely new. If you want to have a look, be my guest. In lieu of rehashes, I did some thinking and wrote an essay that covers some realizations I’ve had about Gus,…
I’ve been watching a lot of gangster movies lately (I blame AMC’s mob week), and I’m struck by how often things end badly. In the Godfather duology (you have a problem with that?), Michael gradually loses everything chasing the illusary concept of going legit just after he settles some family business. In Scarface, Tony loses…
