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.

One more episode to go for Breaking Good this season.  It’s the season 4 wrap-up cast so get your thoughts on this year of Breaking Bad to us via email, twitter or facebook and we’ll fit as much of it as we can into the episode.

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!

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. Our schedules are weird tomorrow, and we’ll probably cast early in the afternoon, so get your feedback to us as soon as possible if you want a chance to get it in this episode.  See ya then!

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!

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.

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!

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!!

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!

Welcome back! This week on the podcast we celebrate V-Day for fans of Breaking Bad as news broke over the weekend that the show has been picked up for it’s fifth and final season by AMC!  I also allude to the article I wrote last week on one way that Hank and Walt could work together.  I’ve got some really great feedback on this that I’m going to write up when we get a lull in the the weekly news.

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.

In the spoiler section, we talk about some spoilers for next week, Mike’s fatherly ways, and what this picture of Walt Jr. implies.

We’re up to 72 iTunes reviews, or almost three quarters of the way to the century mark, only five episodes in!  You guys are incredible, and we remain very pumped and grateful for your support.  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.  This week’s contest is who can come up with the best name for Jesse’s band?  Make us laugh, and win a Breaking Bad poster. Simple!  Keep checking right here for your daily news recap, and check out twitter where Jim holds it down all day every day.  Next week’s “Corner” looks like another tense one, see you back then!

Welcome back! This week on the podcast we quickly cover some show news; a positive update on the Sony/AMC battle, and a Q/A with Vince Gilligan that hints (ever, ever so slightly) at a possible post Breaking Bad spin off.

During the recap, we discuss Mike’s cold open, what a doozy of an episode this turned out to be, the fine art of card counting, what Hank may or may not know, how cool it would be to have Gale as a friend, how The French Connection influences Breaking Bad, if Saul has his eye on the Endgame Option, and what Jesse’s role will be in Gus’s organization moving forward.

In the spoiler section, we talk about some nuggets that came out of a Jonathan Banks interview (potential spoilers), and try to figure out how this information fits in with what else we know about the season.

We continue to be blown away and very appreciative of all your support.  If you haven’t, please consider leaving us a positive iTunes review,  or if you have thoughts, speculation, or feedback, email it to us,  or share it with us on twitter or facebook.  We’ll use as much as we can on the air. Keep checking right here for your daily news recap, and check out twitter all day every day while Jim draws your attention to all of the good Breaking Bad stuff online.  Looks like next week’s “Shotgun” is going to be another barn burner.  See you then!

Welcome back! This week on the podcast we talk a little bit of news with reports that Sony and AMC  are having some differences of opinion on season five of Breaking Bad.  What, if anything, will this do to our favorite show?  We also analyze some of the Skyler hate that’s been going around the net.  Is it warranted?  ”Who told Walt to go home?” is revisited, with a definitive answer courtesy V. Gilligan.

During the recap, we discuss the fine art of fronting, ladder wielding pig riders, non-attached casinos, eyebrow submissions, Saul’s professional bathroom apocalypse, rice pudding gut rot, playing paranoia limbo, and the meaning of “Open House”.  After a brief musical interlude, we check out next week’s preview, and dish some spoilers and speculation.

You guys have been heroic in your support.  We really appreciate it.  This week Jim kicks off another iTunes review drive, with this week’s target fifty fifty-five reviews!

But enough about that.  First up, I challenge some of Jim’s takes from last week, we touch on a cranky dude from Seattle’s complete failure to get the point of Breaking Bad. We recap the show, and considering the relative health of Jesse’s lifestyle, how Walt’s gangster side is being figuratively and literally knocked down a peg, Hank’s mancrush on his PT, Skyler’s new career in hostile takeovers, Victor’s replacement, and Mike’s apparent lack of attention to detail.

After a brief musical interlude, we check out next week’s preview, and dish some spoilers and speculation.  There are some things we report on here that, if true, could significantly spoil the season.   You’ve been warned!

How concerned is Gus with purity, really?  How effective can a bodyguard be when his sinus cavities are obviously packed full of meat and he is constantly suffering from a series of elaborate heart attacks? How much fun did the practical effects guys have with the blood and gore with this episode?  What did Jesse really mean by “now we’re on the same page?”  How are Gale’s “lab notes” going to play out from this point on? All these questions and more are pondered and explored.

After a brief musical interlude, we check out next week’s preview, and dish some spoilers and speculation.  Nothing too intense this week, but please make sure you turn the cast off at the music if you don’t want to be spoiled whatsoever.
