Looking for Jim’s take? Wow. I know a lot of people were sort of losing the faith in the show the past two episodes, but this one delivered, and promises so much for next week and the weeks beyond. From the cold (heh) open to the final scene, this episode was relentlessly entertaining. I might…
Jim and I’s podcast professionalism lasted through 74 episodes, but alas, they didn’t get us to 75. My partner mistakenly deleted episode 75 while editing it this morning. So, that kinda sucks, since it’s the middle of GENCON and we don’t exactly have time to record a new one. Our apologies for the fuck up.…
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”…

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? I find myself in total agreement with this piece where Time Magazine wonders if less is more with Breaking Bad. “I feel that Breaking Bad…
Hope you saw that we posted the podcast late last night/early this morning (depending on timezone). If you liked it and haven’t had a chance yet, we’d really appreciate a positive iTunes review. If you didn’t, tell us why. We also have a poll up on Facebook asking your preference about podcasting formats. We…
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…
