Breaking Good - Breaking Bad Podcast

Okay, first off, AMC has spoken, and they’re calling these episodes 50x, so we’re following suit.  We’ll figure out how to fix the titles of the feeds later, but just wanted you to know what’s up going forward. Now with that out of the way, holy shit what an episode.  I have a feeling I’ll be saying that a lot this season.  Tune in to our Instant Take podcast as Jim and I hit the mics hard and fast and dish out what we thought about tonight’s episode.  Hope you guys enjoy, and don’t forget that we’ll be posting our Instant Take written reviews tonight as well.  You should have plenty of Breaking Bad content to pour over!

We’re three podcasts into our coverage of Breaking Bad The Final Season, and we’ve finally arrived at the main event.  A heavyweight prize fight between Hank and Walt, scheduled for 8 rounds!  Join us for our complete, in depth coverage of the season premiere of Breaking Bad, “Blood Money”.  How in-depth, you ask?  Well, if this podcast were to be distributed evenly over the entire earth, it would cover the tallest mountain to the depth of two hours.  Hey, if Lucas can mix measures of time and space, so can I! Inside we talk about Hank’s case of PTSD (post traumatic shit disorder), Skyler’s “stay out of my territory” moment, Badger’s epic Trek script and it’s possible deeper meanings, the intricacies of GPS trackers, housing values in the ABQ, Walt’s penchant for copying traits of his victims, and Jesse’s Paperboy technique.  All this, and tons and tons of listener feedback, and a very light spoiler section, as always safely cordoned off behind our theme music. * Courtesy Cynthia B, a cool interview by NPR of Brett Martin regarding his new book, Difficult Men: Behind the Scenes of a Creative Revolution. * An awesome color chart for each main character throughout the seasons for you color conspiracy hounds. * Don’t forget to check out the Natter Cast, who graciously sponsored this episode of Breaking Good on our recent Kickstarter.

Oh my god it is GOOD TO BE BACK!  With a supercharged season of Breaking Good courtesy our elite cadre of Kickstarter Backers, Jim and I are champing at the bit to get this stuff going, and the result was about an hour and forty minutes of us gabbing about this, the FINAL season of Breaking Bad. We talk about pre-season hype, pre-season promotions, a character by character analysis of where we left them and predictions for where they’re going, this season’s potential impact on Breaking Bad’s legacy, what we’re excited about, what we’re nervous about, and lots and lots of thoughts, questions, theories, and predictions from you, the listener. Take care before proceeding into the spoiler section, as we have surprise casting news, episode by episode break down of all of the final season’s titles, a brief synopsis of each, with a bit of analysis thrown in.  But, in an experiment, I saved the super megawatt spoilers into a google doc without reading them, to selfishly give myself an opportunity to at least enjoy the first episode of the final season spoiler free.  WARNING: Do NOT click on this link unless you want to read an scene by scene break down of the season premier of Breaking Bad.

A.Ron and I have launched a Kickstarter project to improve Breaking Good for the final season. Take a listen for all the details!

Welcome to the mid-season wrap of for season five of Breaking Bad!  In this we turn the podcast over to you, the listener.  After a few show notes and news discussion, we discuss your takes, insights, and speculations, and dish a bit of our own in between. A few things we discuss in our show that we wanted to put in our notes, first fellow fan Andrew Zimmerman’s has submitted some new theme music that’s totally awesome, and also banging.  Check it out at the end of our cast and let us know if we should add it to our pre-show rotation!  Finally, we mention one of the best ways to get introduced to The Walking Dead, our next podcast project, is by watching the Apocalypse Fan Edit version that, much like a George Foreman grill, cuts out the fat leaving the juicy succulent meat for your enjoyment.  Note that to ethically enjoy the Apocalypse Fan Edit, you must have a license to the original media, either on DVD, Bluray, or perhaps iTunes subscription. See you next year, or hopefully in October for the Watching Dead!

GLIDING o’er all, through all, Through Internet, Time, and Space, As a shit in the master bath advancing, The voyage of the bowl–not Hank’s alone, Gale, many meths I’ll sing. -Jim Jonesman An unusual poem for an unusual podcast.  A.Ron’s in Seattle and I’m left to run the studio myself.  Unfortunately, I’m like Jesse on his first cook, fumbling with the controls, shouting “Yo, bitch!” into the air, getting Fun-Yuns dust and chili powder everywhere.  And so we resort to the backup recording devices.  A.Ron had a flight to catch so we chat for a little over an hour about our takes and some corrections from last episode and decide to save the feedback until the season 5.1 wrapup podcast next week.  Join us!

  Tonight we mark the passing of one of the all time great television characters.  The question remaining is how many iconic characters will we see go before this tragedy is all said and done?  Will this really be an “everybody dies” situation?  Can we hold out hope for Walt, Jesse, Skyler, Jr., Holly, Hank, Marie, or Saul?  Only time will tell.  Join us in our coverage of the penultimate episode of this mini-season of Breaking Bad, as we discuss the late, great Mantrout and his dead mackerel eyes, Skyler checking out, Jesse calling bullshit, meth pops, dirty DEA bosses, Gomey’s Look, Walt’s crocodile tears, and Walt’s newest lab assistant, little Ricky Hitler.

Very excited to be talking with Dave Porter, the composer for the score of Breaking Bad.  He was gracious enough to talk about his production efforts for the show, including the process he uses to get that fantastically evocative sound we all love so much, the various crazy instruments and synthesizers he uses, his thoughts on his favorite sequences and themes for the show, as well as a few of his upcoming projects, like a Breaking Bad score album, and the score for an upcoming horror film, Smiley! For more information and to find out all the latest on Dave’s work, check out the following: * Dave Porter’s website * Dave Porter’s Facebook page * Dave’s new  Breaking Bad original score album * The upcoming movie Smiley, scored by Dave. Also, I’m including the links in case you’re interested in Dave’s previous AMC interview or the Breaking Bad Insider podcast I reference throughout the episode. Note:  Jim could not be with me tonight because he had to move houses this weekend and couldn’t drive out to the Bald Cave in time.  Fear not, he’ll be back in action for this week’s podcast for episode 507 Tuesday!
