Breaking Good - Breaking Bad Podcast

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. Remember, this will NOT be our final Breaking Bad cast.  We’ll be back next season, and throughout the offseason with occasional news, and recaps of older episodes.  Stay tuned!  And if you’re hungering for something a bit more current, follow us on the Watching Dead, recapping AMC’s zombie-fest, The Walking Dead. Thanks so much for all of your support this year!   Your likes, reviews, and feedback was positively overwhelming, in the best sense of the word.  If you’d like to help us keep the lights on and the servers humming during the offseason, please consider using our Amazon affiliate link (http://amazon.baldmove.com) during your holiday shopping.  It costs you nothing, and throws a small percentage of your purchases our way, so we can continue bringing you the podcast goodness. Thanks again, and we hope to see you soon! Support Bald Move:  Amazon  |  Club Bald Move Leave Us A Review Join the discussion:  Email  |  Forums  |  Facebook  |  Twitter

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. If you’d like to try and get your email included, please feel free to send it in to us, or share it with us on Twitter or Facebook.  If you’ve enjoyed the work we’ve done this season, please use ourAmazon affiliate link to buy the stuff you’re already buying, or peruse our Amazon store for DVD’s, Blurays, posters, and more Breaking Bad merch. We appreciate it! Next week we’ll have a final Breaking Good cast until next season, but stay tuned here at our website, as we’ll be starting up our new podcast, the Watching Dead, bringing the Bald Move brand of coverage to AMC’s zombie-drama, The Walking Dead.  See you then!

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.  

Did you know Jim has a Halloween article that explains how you can dress like your favorite Breaking Bad character?  Did you know we have a new t-shirt as an homage to the Kenny Rogers getup from 401 “Box Cutter?”  Now you know! 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. Lots of feedback from you guys and gals; even cutting all the emails telling us about Walt’s butcher’s thumb on the meth scales, and consolidating all the feedback on Gus vs Walt poison theories, we still had nearly too much to read.  Thanks for making our lives difficult on the feedback section!  We love it. Next week is the final Breaking Bad of season four.  Sad, but true!  We are going to do a final Breaking Good the week after Breaking Bad finishes up, so please hold your “overall season thoughts” until then, in the interests of saving our sanity processing all of the feedback.  It’s been a crazy ride, and I can’t wait to see how Villigan keeps us hanging until the next season!

Great Odin’s raven, that was a good episode.  It took me and Jim quite a while to work our way through it, and then you all weighed in.  This is a beefy cast.  Chew slowly, savor the episode, let it take time to digest. First, we ask your help getting our officially unofficial cast nominated for the People’s Choice Podcast Awards.  You guys always come through for us, and we’d appreciate you taking the time. Then we dig straight in.  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. Then we consider your fine feedback, and consider some brief spoilers for the rest of the season.

  Hi everybody!  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. As always, we cover listener feedback, speculation, and theories, then consider some spoiler news after the music.

Hello!  Apologies once again for the delay on the cast, next week we should be on track to have it out Monday as usual.  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. We unload a massive dose of listener feedback, with great takes about Gus’s past, the Creation of Adam, the significance of swimming pools, and Nietzsche. We finish off with our traditional spoiler segment, which contains many actual spoilers for a change!

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. In the spoiler section, we talk about next week’s episode, Jesse’s loyalty, and a listener’s contribution. Something else we touch on is how you can help us defray hosting costs by checking out our Breaking Bad store and Amazon affiliate links.  If you’re buying stuff from Amazon, please consider using our affiliate link.  It costs you nothing, and throws a few pennies our way.

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 about an hour, we’ll have our written instant reviews up.  Tomorrow, we do the full cast!   We love getting your thoughts, speculation, and/or feedback, so keep emailing it to us,  or share it with us on Twitter or Facebook.  We’ll read and use as much of it as we have time for in the cast. Make sure you get it to us before 6pm EST if you want a chance to have it read.  See ya then!

There has been a lot of confusion going around about the future of Breaking Bad, what with Aaron Paul mentioning that there is going to be two more seasons, and an Entertainment Weekly article claiming that Breaking Bad is getting “canceled” after season five.  Our advice:  be cool, baby.  Like a little Fonzie, because unless I hear Vince Gilligan is getting less than he wants or is being forced to do more than he wants, I’m not going to worry about it whether we get two more seasons of eight episodes or one more of 16. 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 have TWO METRIC TONS of feedback and listener speculation to plow through.  We did the best we could to fit it all in, and I believe we were successful.  We have a lively discussion of the Madrigal Electromotive website, and we consider the shifting listener opinion of Jim’s maybe-not-as-batshit-crazy as it seems coffee theory.  Listener Nick from Ottawa had some mind blowing predictions and speculation that we somehow missed, but he had this down as far back as episode 403 and 404!  Check out the full text of his research here. In the spoiler section we discuss the names and spoiler summaries (the ones AMC posts as the “short description” on their website) that recently got leaked, and talk about what they might mean.  These are legit spoilers, so if you want to remain pure, stay away!! Thanks for your continuing support on iTunes!  Your five star reviews gives us a boost as we read them and helps build the community.  As we hope is evident in our cast, we love getting your thoughts, speculation, and/or feedback, so keep emailing it to us,  or share it with us on Twitter or Facebook.  Speaking of Facebook, if you have an opinion on how long we should make these podcasts, be sure to vote in our online poll!  We’ll use as much as time permits on the air.  One of these week’s we won’t be able to get to it all, but if that ever happens, we will at the very least personally respond  to you.   Next week is “Hermanos”, but you don’t have to wait for then to come back, because I’ll be posting news every day around noon EST.  Thanks again for listening!

  Thankfully there was no real news of note this week, because we were packed to the rafters with recap and feedback! 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? We got TONS of feedback, which we tried our level best to share with you.  We had an epic Skyler rant, three legitimately brilliant theories, and a take on meth from someone who’d know.  Also, listener Matthew M. sent in video evidence that not even dogs are immune to Breaking Bad’s charm.  We also announce our “name Jesse’s band” contest winner, and announce our intention to do a Walking Dead podcast this fall. In the spoiler section we discuss our thoughts of what Walt could do to be unlikable in our eyes, a recent interview with RJ Mitte, scenes from the next Breaking Bad, and how the cartel and Gus situation could be resolved. Even without setting a specific goal, we raked in over 20 iTunes reviews.  Thank you, you guys are amazing, that kind of support really keeps us going.  As we hope is evident in our cast, we love getting your thoughts, speculation, and/or feedback, so keep emailing it to us,  or share it with us on Twitter or Facebook.  We’ll use as much as time permits on the air.  One of these week’s we won’t be able to get to it all, but if that ever happens, we will at the very least personally respond  to you.   Next week is “Problem Dog,” and I’ll be MIA for much of the week, but Jim has promised to hold down the Breaking Bad News fort.  So keep checking right here for your daily news recap.  Thanks again for listening!
