Breaking Good - 213 – ABQ

In this installment of Breaking Bad, episode 213, “ABQ”, AKA, “A.Ron’s Waterloo”,we find really excellent episode that works on so many visceral and emotional levels, but for at least one host, comes completely off the rails in the final 15 minutes. Other than THAT, we discuss the excellent work by Aaron Paul and Anna Gunn, Walt’s endearing qualities, such as they are, John de Lancie’s haunting portrayal of Jane’s father, Gus hiding in plain sight, and one grizzled old fixer dude in Saul Goodman’s employ… I doubt we see much more of him. All this, a smattering of feedback, and the guys get philosophical about season 3 in the spoiler section.

Better Cast Saul - 103 – Nacho

Relax, everyone on the internet! Jim finally is pleased with an episode of Better Call Saul… In the series third outing, we get a hint of the plot that’s going to be moving perhaps a good chuck of the rest of the season, as Jimmy McGill and a huge bag of ill gotten funds finally meet. How we got to that point is interesting too, as we bear witness to the demise of Slipping Jimmy, get hints about the nature of Jimmy and Kim’s relationship, and see the genesis of a more congenial relationship between Mike and the man who will one day be called Saul. And sex robots! All this, a ton of feedback, and the barest whiff of a spoiler section that morphs into an impromptu Bald Move TV segment. Just, a lot of stuff happens on this podcast. Enjoy!

Up Yours, Downstairs!

Actually, It’s About Ethics In Baby-Stealing

Yes, Kelly & Tom get very weepy about a certain canine’s illness in this recap of Downton Abbey S5E7. They are not made of stone. They also manage to share two separate Edith/Gregson AUs that suck less than the actual canonical storyline, accuse Rosamund of going a hat too far, speculate about the trainability of…

Watching Dead - A Walking Dead Podcast - 510 – “Them” – Instant Take

A.Ron and Jim weren’t impressed with the tenth outing of season five of The Walking Dead, “Them”. It was slow, slogging through well worn territory of dealing with loss and grief and acceptance of the way the world is rather than the way the world should be. On the other hand, we got some cool zombie kung-fu via a nifty bridge sequence, and somebody finally told Gabriel to shut the EFF up already, so there’s that. What did you think! Tell us, because the full cast is coming out Tuesday and you just might get on the air!

Justified - 604 – “The Trash and The Snake”

Justified episode 604, “The Snake and The Trash” was one of the best episodes in recent memory, and continues a very strong run for the final sixth season. The Yost with the Most commits to serious, hard core fan servicing, as we get explosive surprises, including the return of Dickie and Loretta.It keeps getting harder and harder to pick a line of the week as Raylan, Boyd, Tim, Ava, Art, and the whole cast keeps being on point.

Better Cast Saul - 101 – Uno

Jim and A.Ron had a lot of complex feelings about the first episode of Better Call Saul, “Uno”.  A.Ron enjoyed the super sized portion of Saul, but worried about the sustainability of the rate of easter eggs and classic BrBa character appearances, while Jim was bothered by pacing.  We also talked about the Aztek of Azteks, dent trash cans, scams both large and small, and much more.  Plus a ton of great feedback, the fans are bringing it from week one!  Hope you enjoy, and stay tuned tomorrow for our in depth coverage of episode 102, “Mijo”!
