I’m a little tired of the hoo-ah behind the scenes Sony vs AMC stuff at this point. There is more and more of it clogging up my newsfeeds, but at this point there is very little new information. Until we actually confirm that Darabont left Walking Dead over budget cuts, or Gilligan says something publicly, or…
In this edition of PowerPlay we discuss why modern games don’t always excite and talk about what excited our hosts the most through the years…then get ready for a brawl of hardcore proportions when the Don challenges Peters embrace of labels such as “GAMER” and “HARDCORE”, we explore what if any meaning those terms have both to “gamers”…
The news about the AMC / Sony dispute is still pouring out. Deadline Hollywood says not only is Sony pushing for 13 episodes, they might be pushing for 20 episodes or a sixth season. AMC presumably would like it to be 7-8. So, at this point, I don’t think anyone is representing the creative team.…
Not suprisingly, there is a lot more analysis of the AMC/Sony struggles today. Here is a breakdown by ScreenRant. I wonder when we’re going to hear something from Gilligan about this?

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.
Very surprised at the mixed reaction this episode is getting from fans and bloggers today. As I mentioned in my recap (check Jim’s out, too, while you’re at it) I had problems with parts of the episode, which is my larger problem with Breaking Bad as a whole; it sometimes requires me to suspend my…
Looking for Jim’s take? First things first. As sure as the sun will rise tomorrow Jim is going to try to claim that Meat Eating Man (Saul’s bodyguard) having to take a dump at the White residence scores a point for his prediction that he’d fail him in a moment of need. If he does,…
Looking for A.Ron’s take? Like Walt, I have “bigger things to worry about” than how to format my Breaking Bad Instant Review so from here on in this is how it’s going to be. I’ll give my thoughts about the episode and then talk about the developments for each character who’s relevant. Now on to…
