Thanks for all the birthday wishes yesterday, and thanks for the peeps who gave us a few more iTunes reviews. We’re back at #1 on New and Notable in TV and Film again. I can’t believe it myself. I don’t understand how we’re still there, but you guys reviewing, subscribing, and downloading us somehow makes…
First off, it’s my birthday, today. I’ve made it 35 years on this planet. Hopefully I can pull off another 40 or 50. As a birthday present, the Internet got me some decent Breaking Bad news! That’s thoughtful of the internet, really. Wednesdays can be dry sometimes. First off we have Hank’s blog, and not…
A bit of housekeeping first. If you missed it, we released the podcast for 407, “Problem Dog” last night. I hope you guys like it! If you haven’t got a chance to read our listener Nick from Ottawa’s research on Gale’ case file, you should take a look. We talked about how the Madrigal Electromotive site is…
Unfortunately, PowerPlay has departed with Bald Move. We will be posting updates on our move at our temporary home http://powerplaytemphome.blogspot.com/ Peter Street and I are working on moving our content to a new host, and we will rename PowerPlay once we find a new home. We thank our fans for the patients and all your…
In the recap, we discuss Raging, tipping pet peeves, love letters to the American muscle car, Christ imagery, Eyebrows of Doom, adult conversations, who gets to wear the bacon gauntlet this week, the importance of a snack spread during high level criminal meetings, loyalty, Aaron Paul’s iron lock on next year’s Emmy awards, and the value of clean living, vitamins, and Googlefu.
In case you missed it last night, you can find my instant review here, and Jim’s over here. Tonight we’ll start casting at about 7pm EST, so that’s the cutoff if you want to get your take read on-air. Probably the craziest thing I’ve seen since last night is an actual website for Madrigal Electromotive.…
Looking for Jim’s take? Gus didn’t seem like he was particularly clever or all powerful this episode, did he? I’d almost go so far as to say that the cartel is to Gus what Gus is to Walt. Gus is in over his head, negotiating from positions of weaknesses, his foe is dealing with him…
Looking for A.Ron’s take? Madrigal Electromotive Website “Problem Dog” marks the halfway point of season 4 of Breaking Bad and the pace really seems to be picking up steam. Very little time is wasted in this episode with the exception of Walt whose only mission in life now seems to be to have a blast…
Ok, ok. So the last few days haven’t been the best as far as Breaking Bad News goes. There just wasn’t enough news to write up a full article so I was reaching. But that all changes today. There’s an article on aceshowbiz.com with a video interview of Aaron Paul who spills the beans on…
On a sad note, Michael Showers, an actor who played a union worker in the Breaking Bad season 3 episode “One Minute”, was found dead in the Mississippi River yesterday morning. He also had a recurring role opposite David Morse on the show “Treme”. Did you know AMC holds Twitter contests and gives away prizes…
