Breaking Good - Breaking Bad Podcast

In this week's episode, we have a bit of purely speculative (read: most likely bullshit) news on the future of Breaking Bad after the final season concludes, as well as new theme music courtesy some friends of ours in Germany (see bottom of show notes for more details)! We then do our customary recap, where we discuss the greatest cold open in Breaking Bad history, Todd's new pet, Gomez as the worst field agent in DEA history, the anti-christ's methylamine, the most uncomfortable dinner scene this side of Star Trek VI, Mike's restraint half-measure, and Walt's sublimely smug, punch-able face. All this and your feedback and a BOMBSHELL spoiler segment. DO NOT LISTEN UNLESS YOU WANT TO POTENTIALLY SPOIL THE END OF THIS SEASON!

This week's episode covering episode 505 of Breaking Bad, "Dead Freight" has Jim and A.Ron discussing a boy and his spider, Jesse Pinkman, criminal mastermind, quick draw Todd, shutting up Skyler, the perils of coming between Flynn and his breakfast, and one of the all time gut punches in Breaking Bad history. All this and the latest and greatest of your feedback, theories, and speculation!

This week's episode covering episode 504 of Breaking Bad, "51" has Jim and A.Ron discussing Mike's raging sexism, Lydia's general not having her shit togetherness, Jesse's soft side, Skyler's pool party, Walt Jr. unsafe at any speed, and Marie's inability to SHUT. UP. SHUT THE HELL UP! SHUT UP! All this and the latest and greatest of your feedback, theories, and speculation.

This week's episode covering episode 503 of Breaking Bad, "Hazard Pay" has Jim and A.Ron discussing Skinny Pete's veins, Huell's ability to sleep standing up, Walt's creepy creep, and appropriate entertainment for babies. All this and the latest and greatest of your feedback, theories, and speculation.

Breaking Bad comes roaring back this week with an awesome, instant classic episode. It had it all; great writing, great direction, great acting, humor, suspense... it's hard to find something we didn't like. We consider some show ratings news, our in depth recap, and consider your feedback.

So this is kind of awkward. Months of waiting, weeks of intense anticipation, days of breathless excitement, and then the premier came, and it was kind of just... okay? Okay on the Breaking Bad scale happens to put it better than just about any show on the air, but still. What did we like? What didn't we like? What did we learn, and what new questions were raised? And what did you, the fellow Breaking Bad fan have to say? This one was long, as we had a shocking amount of email to plow through, but we hope it was worth it, and look forward to seeing how this fascinating show manages to work its way through it's fifth and final season.

Can you believe it? We're less than five days out from the season five premier of Breaking Bad! Join us for about an hour of previews, predictions, listener feedback and speculation, and a little bit of season five spoilers in our handy dandy spoiler section. Just a heads up, we consider any material or interview that has come out as part of the season five promotion to be NOT spoilers. So, if you're squeemish about stuff like that, you might want to stay completely clear.

Welcome to this bittersweet episode of Breaking Good! We are over the moon about the way the season went, but sad that we have to wait almost a year to find out what's next for Walt and Jesse. We reflect on our favorite moments, thoughts for next season, predictions that came true and those that flamed out, and read the final thoughts from our listeners on Breaking Bad.

We promised a listener feedback episode this week and we delivered! We tried to give some attention to everyone's thoughts but even after cutting some emails for time and ONLY covering your thoughts we STILL barely brought the episode in under an hour thirty! Seriously, the feedback is overwhelming but we love it. Thanks to everyone who contributed to this episode and those whose feedback we just didn't have the time to read on air. We appreciate all of it!

Breaking Bad season four is in the books! Last night's episode "Face Off" capped off a remarkable story arc that has lasted over two seasons, and where it goes from here, is anyone's guess. In this episode, Jim and A.Ron recap the episode, analyze how the various plots and machinations resolved, talk about lose ends, and speculate a bit about what comes next for our favorite show. We had so much thoughts by ourselves that we couldn't get hardly any feedback in. So, Wednesday we're recording round 2, that features nothing but thoughts from you guys.

Holy shit! No time for witty text, here's Jim and A.Ron's Instant Review of "Face Off" in podcast form! It's less than 15 minutes long, and sort of unusually low-key. We were trying to be quiet since my five year old was asleep in the next room over. :D

This week we discuss dramatic crying, playing spin the revolver, burger-flipping knock and talks, Tuvok's mastery of the art of dickishness, Meat Eating Man's magic hands, stress smoking, playing with fire, ricin emergencies, cold packs and hot stoves, and cap things off with the Mother of Breaking Bad Theory discussions.

We talk about tongue shots, scales balancing, Walt's face, Gus's possible man crush on Jesse, Ted's dumb, smarmy ass, a bridge too far for Tio, Hank's suspicious mind, Carnivore's performance problems, Walt begging, twice, badass Volvo station wagons, Breaking Bad's OCD obsession with cleanliness, and Walt getting low.

In this week's episode, we talk about gifts of booze and bad cars, Jesse laying down the law, Walt Jr's possible drug thievery, Ted being in the dumbass business, A.Ron's hatred for Tuvok, Gus's ambivalence when confronted with 'dat ass, and his badassness when confronted with damn near anything else.

In this week's episode we discuss tiger eyes, chicken slinging sons of bitches, Pontiac Aztecs with sweet ass camping packages, smoke breaks, lots of angles, some Terminator type shit, the Quicken, dinner time with Gus, and savage beatings.

Hope everyone had a safe and happy Labor Day. Jim and I were hard at work making podcasts in the lab, and this is the latest result. We talk about all things Gus, Jesse's shirt, Chilean history, perfect storms, the significance of eyeballs, and more listener feedback than you can shake a GPS tracker at.

Well, here is our little experimental insta-cast! It's 15 minutes of raw, un-rehearsed reaction. It doesn't have a full recap, or in-depth analysis, we ask more questions than anything else. Let us know what you think. If you like it, and we can fit it into our schedules, we'll try it again.

In the recap, we discuss Raging, tipping pet peeves, love letters to the American muscle car, Christ imagery, Eyebrows of Doom, adult conversations, who gets to wear the bacon gauntlet this week, the importance of a snack spread during high level criminal meetings, loyalty, Aaron Paul's iron lock on next year's Emmy awards, and the value of clean living, vitamins, and Googlefu.

We discuss ineffectual truck defense systems, Walt unexpectedly switching up the Big Lie for the Big Truth, Eyebrows landing jabs, but in the end being humiliated by a Coke machine, Jesse with the shakes, Walt Jr. being bought off, Walt being a self centered dick and subcontracting out the dirty work, a four cornered coinflip, and TUCKER!! Then Jesse shovels well, Mike polishes the Pinkman, Gus get's a message, and Skyler protects the family from the man that protects the family that is protected by... wait. Did this just become an Allstate Commercial?

Moving on to the recap, we discuss Aztec badassery, Walt's good vibrations, Jesse making good use of keys, Hank getting out, right before he gets pulled back in, the Incurable Cough of Death rearing it's ugly, tuberculous head, knocking boots at the Casablanca, Tuvok's mastery of the forklift, the least subtle assassination attempt of all time, and Walt's overweening arrogance.
