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…
I tried to get the news out early for you yesterday. Apparently, AMC saw fit to reward my effort with an act of sadism. Mere minutes after I posted yesterday’s Breaking Bad News, Hank’s blog was updated with a blistering commentary on the pros and cons of team spirit. Makes me think that Hank misses…
For once, Breaking Bad News will live up to it’s title because I have some very bad news for you. Last night A.Ron hid himself in one of our podcasting trucks to guard our secret sound mix. Unfortunately, he forgot his standard-issue headphones and the dastardly Cartel pumped 10,000 Watts of Flava Flav’s Unga Bunga…
We discuss ineffectual truck defense systems, Walt unexpectedly switching up the Big Lie for the Big Truth, Eyebrows landing jabs, but in the end being humiliated by a Coke machine, Jesse with the shakes, Walt Jr. being bought off, Walt being a self centered dick and subcontracting out the dirty work, a four cornered coinflip, and TUCKER!! Then Jesse shovels well, Mike polishes the Pinkman, Gus get’s a message, and Skyler protects the family from the man that protects the family that is protected by… wait. Did this just become an Allstate Commercial?
First up, if you want a sort of pre-cast primer, you can check out my instant review here, and Jim’s over here. Tonight’s podcast should be a good one, I have lots to talk about, and we have a ton of awesome feedback and theories courtesy you guys. We’ll start recording around 7pm, and have…
Looking for Jim’s take? With all due respect to Hank and Mike, Skyler might be the best investigator on the show. Her ability to make connections, recall previously incidental points to complete an overall pictures, and sweat information out of Walt are unparalleled. I’m wondering if the last two episodes will change any Skyler hater’s…
Looking for A.Ron’s take? Have you ever felt like you’ve made a decision because you wanted to, when in reality you made it because you had to? If I were asking Walt, Skyler, Gus and the rest of the Breaking Bad cast that question tonight, they’d probably answer no; not because they’d never done it…
In this week’s show, A.Ron and Jim ponder some science, philosophy, pop culture and politics through the lens of SCIENCE! First up, a research paper opens up the debate about spoilers we first had way back in episode 62, with a new study suggesting that reading pre-spoiled books is more enjoyable than reading them spoiler-free. So take your spoiler tag, shine it up real nice, turn it sideways, and cram it up your candy ass!
A week ago, TeeFury had a sweet Breaking Bad t-shirt, but alas, you can only buy them the one day, and then they are gone forever. By the time I’d heard of it, it was already gone. Or was it? A redditor did some research and found the original artist, still selling them (albeit at…
Good morning! Er, I mean afternoon. Sorry about the tardiness of my post. My boss has this crazy idea where I have to do things for him, and it pushed my lunch hour waaay late today. I’d blow him off, but then he’d slit my network engineers throat with a mechanical pencil, just to send…
