So here’s the deal. We came under sniper fire yesterday and A.Ron tried to pull a Fring. He defiantly charged right into the path of fire, arms out, yelling “Come at me, Bro!“. It was totally bad ass! Unfortunately, he’s not the head of a regional meth distribution network (though he does love chicken) so…
Hello! In case you missed the news, a business trip to Chicago is going to delay our podcast this week. Instead of posting Monday night, it’s going to drop Tuesday evening. In the meantime, hopefully our instant reviews (this one is mine, and this one is Jim’s) will tide you over. I have to give…
Looking for Jim’s take? Sometimes, making predictions about where Breaking Bad is going seems like folly. Like the Villigan sits back and reads message boards, internet sites, and email (he’s obviously too busy to listen to podcasts, hehe) and just cackles about how far off we are. Even with the leaked episode mini-synopsis we’ve had,…
I’ve got an unusually fat Friday news post! First up, a relatively fascinating piece I found on the concept of “toxic masculinity” at the provocatively named Jezebel.com. Gender issues is of personal interest to me, I like examining how concepts of privilege shade our day to day lives, and to look at other people’s perspectives differ from…
The question of Gus’s sexuality has been a hot topic on the internet this week. I found this article interesting, as it is written by an openly gay man, and he expresses frustration at Vince Gilligan for being sort of wishy washy on his take on the subject as heard on the Breaking Bad Insider…
Sorry about yesterday. The good news is, I did get a lot of work done, and Casa A.Ron has functional indoor plumbing once more. The bad news is all the crawling around in crawl spaces and hefting big ass water tanks and softner systems has wrecked my body. I’m not quite at Hank level immobility,…
I have some legitimately bad news to break today, as my well’s pressure tank basically exploded yesterday, flooding my garage and leaving me without the all important H2O. Consequently, I’m taking the day off to replace it. If the task goes quick enough, I’ll post later on today, if not, I’ll do a super-sized news…
Happy Labor Day! I hope everyone is enjoying some hard won time off with friends and family. In case you missed it, Jim and I dished a whole lot of BrBa content out last night. First, there was our new, experimental audio instant review. Then, we did our traditional instant takes. Here is mine, and…
Happy Labor Day weekend, everybody! Thankfully, the guys over at Behind the Cutting Edge scored an interview with R.J. Mitte, or else I’d damn near have nothing else to post. I think they pretty much only have Anna Gunn, Betsy Brandt, and Aaron Paul to go before they catch ’em all. </jealous> Since Friday is…
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…
