A.Ron’s Breaking Bad Instant Review – “Bug” – 209

Looking for Jim’s take? Sometimes, making predictions about where Breaking Bad is going seems like folly.  Like the Villigan sits back and reads message boards, internet sites, and email (he’s obviously too busy to listen to podcasts, hehe) and just cackles about how far off we are. Even with the leaked episode mini-synopsis we’ve had,…

Breaking Bad News – Friday 09/09/11 Edition

I’ve got an unusually fat Friday news post!  First up, a relatively fascinating piece I found on the concept of “toxic masculinity” at the provocatively named Jezebel.com.  Gender issues is of personal interest to me, I like examining how concepts of privilege shade our day to day lives, and to look at other people’s perspectives differ from…

Breaking Bad News – Thursday 09/08/11 Edition

The question of Gus’s sexuality has been a hot topic on the internet this week.  I found this article interesting, as it is written by an openly gay man, and he expresses frustration at Vince Gilligan for being sort of wishy washy on his take on the subject as heard on the Breaking Bad Insider…

Breaking Bad News – Monday 09/05/11 Edition

Happy Labor Day!  I hope everyone is enjoying some hard won time off with friends and family.  In case you missed it, Jim and I dished a whole lot of BrBa content out last night.  First, there was our new, experimental audio instant review.  Then, we did our traditional instant takes.  Here is mine, and…

Jim’s Breaking Bad Instant Review – “Hermanos” – 408

Looking for A.Ron’s review? It’s fitting that so much of this episode centered around Gustavo Fring because it is very much like him in a lot of ways.  On the surface it seems to be a standard (though especially tense) episode of Breaking Bad, just as Gus appears to be a standard chicken peddler and…
