In this re-watch of Breaking Bad episode 208, “Better Call Saul” we talk about criminal lawyers, panic attacks, turkey necks and the axes that love them, women marking their territory, and the sliding scale of how much a conscience is worth. All this, your feedback, and a fat, healthy spoiler section. Enjoy!
Jim and A.Ron break down another great episode of Breaking Bad, episode 207, “Negro y Azul”. We discuss narcocorrido music, how many theories were spawned by the “Ballad of Heisenberg”, the nature of Jane and Jesse, and Skyler and Ted’s relationship, and explore the concept of Hank’s panic attacks being a hidden strength instead of an obvious weakness. All this, plus lots of questioning Pinkman fashion, lots of fan feedback, and a robust spoiler section. Enjoy!
Jim and A.Ron shake off the rust of their Christmas vacation by getting down and dirty with an early standout episode of Breaking Bad, 206 “Peekaboo”. In it we discuss the definition of the word “skank”, the biggest lie ever told on Breaking Bad, the ethics of exposing a friend’s elaborate web of lies, and where we come down on the Walt vs Gretchen fight. All this, your feedback, and a healthy spoiler section await your New Year’s Eve perusal.
Merry Christmas! Our re-watch of season 2 rolls on with episode 205, “Breakage”. We discuss panic attacks, grills, machismo, maintaining “the hand” in extra-legal activities, health care politics, and just how many dudes you can expect to nail you in any given lifetime. All that, plus feedback and our patent pending spoiler section. See you next week!
This is a downer of an episode, for sure. Everyone, and I mean everyone, is being an a-hole to everyone else. Some for understandable, legitimate episodes, some for less clear reasons. Jim and A.Ron, leading experts at a-hole-ism, break it down for you as they discuss Walt’s obvious, desperate breakfasts, Skyler’s gamesmanship, Walt Jr’s Flynn’s rebellion, and Jesse bluing himself. All this, your feedback, AND a robust, over-sized spoiler section!
Heisenbuns! Windy Wendy! Badger making sweet love to a barrel of methylamine! What more do you want? Breaking Bad episode 203, “Bit By A Dead Bee” delivers. We talk about it all, including your feedback and a fairly rocking spoiler section.
Jim and A.Ron enjoy a very strong second episode of season two, “Grilled”. Tense, exciting, and in genuine Breaking Bad fashion, darkly hilarious in places, “Grilled” has the boys pumped to re-discover the rest of season two.
After our short break, we’re back with more Breaking Bad rewatch podcasts. This week it’s the premiere of season 2. Will this season hold up to our memory of it (or lack thereof)? We’ll find out – 13 weeks from now.
A.Ron and I just got back from the ABQ where we moderated a few panels at the Breaking Bad Fan Fest. We spent an hour today talking about our experience there.
Jim and A.Ron sign off the Breaking Bad airwaves until sometime in November 2014, but we have a few things to say before we do. We talk about Breaking Bad’s relationship to Fargo, a listener calls BS on giving Walt a pass on his “authentic” decision making, and we do a deep dive on Hank and Walt’s relationship as we play a little bit of “what if” in the spoiler section.
