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?
During the recap, we discuss Mike’s cold open, what a doozy of an episode this turned out to be, the fine art of card counting, what Hank may or may not know, how cool it would be to have Gale as a friend, how The French Connection influences Breaking Bad, if Saul has his eye on the Endgame Option, and what Jesse’s role will be in Gus’s organization moving forward.
During the recap, we discuss the fine art of fronting, ladder wielding pig riders, non-attached casinos, eyebrow submissions, Saul’s professional bathroom apocalypse, rice pudding gut rot, playing paranoia limbo, and the meaning of “Open House”. After a brief musical interlude, we check out next week’s preview, and dish some spoilers and speculation.
GENCON, the “best four days in gaming”, is coming to our humble home town of Indianapolis next week. We invited Michael “Madbrew” Brewer back on to give some tips for what to look for in this years convention, how to navigate the expo hall, potential new releases, and what you can safely avoid. If you missed last year’s GenCon preview with Michael, you might want to give it a listen, as he discussed a lot more general GENCON survival tips, and his love for RPGs.
First up, I challenge some of Jim’s takes from last week, we touch on a cranky dude from Seattle’s complete failure to get the point of Breaking Bad. We recap the show, and considering the relative health of Jesse’s lifestyle, how Walt’s gangster side is being figuratively and literally knocked down a peg, Hank’s mancrush on his PT, Skyler’s new career in hostile takeovers, Victor’s replacement, and Mike’s apparent lack of attention to detail.
The long wait is over! Season four of our favorite morally ambiguous crystal meth chemistry show is back, and Jim and A.Ron are all over it. After a bit of showkeeping and news, the guys break down the episode in detail.
In this week’s episode, we discuss the possible impact to our favorite show from a rumored takeover of AMC, some thoughts and speculation on the newest Breaking Bad season four trailer, what a possible Breaking Bad spinoff about Mike or Gus might look like, some relavations from some recent articles on Breaking Bad and interviews with series creator, Vince Gilligan, and finally, we offer dueling predictions for things to come in Season 4!
Jim and A.Ron always pay their debts. We owe you a cast, and today we deliver on that promise. We talk about Florence + The Machine, Battle for Hill 218 (free online version), Battlestar Galactica (board game AND series), that fantastic new HBO series “Game of Thrones” that just finished up it’s first season, A.Ron’s revolutionary idea for a “sincerity” movement, and the surprising news that Kickstarter is the 3rd largest independent comic book publisher.
Welcome to the first episode of Breaking Good, the officially unofficial podcast of the phenomenal AMC original drama series, Breaking Bad. We are psyched that season four is less than two weeks away, and recorded a very brief cast to explain who we are, what we’re up to, and what you can expect going forward with us. We also break down the latest trailers and teaser images released to date.
The write up for this one is going to be short and sweet, folks, because the content is long and savory. We finally aligned technology and schedules and sat down with Ian for a talk about all things geek, legal, and lawery. Want to know what it’s like to argue before the Supreme Court? What it’s like to be an Omeganaut at PAX? How to fight back against unfair IP law? If emulators are legal? How much energy the Death Star took to destroy Alderaan? We talk about it. At length.
