Breaking Good is the officially unofficial podcast for AMC’s Breaking Bad.
As I said on the instant take podcast, one of my pet peeves is when sportscasters immediately declare that something they just saw was the greatest “game”, “performance”, “comeback”, “catch” etc. in the history of the sport! As humans, we tend to overvalue new experiences and discount older ones. Our memories play tricks on us,…
Read MoreDid we just watch one of the best hours of television, or The Best Ever? Jim and A.Ron debate that point as they struggle to process the absolutely incredible hour of television that was Breaking Bad episode 511, “Confessions”. All the pieces were there the whole time, hidden in plain sight. But no one saw Walt’s “confession” and the impact it would have. No one forsaw the consequences of a single boosted bag of weed. And what else is lurking out there, in two flash forwards and an enigmatic scene between Meth Damon and his Uncles of Anarchy? I sure as hell don’t know, but can’t wait to find out!

I feel like I’m watching my child compete in the Olympics when I watch Breaking Bad. I know that I’m watching something extraordinary but there’s an ever-present fear of it all going horribly wrong. The last show I can remember that sucked me in this much was LOST. We all know how that turned out……
Read MoreSorry for the delay on the release, we had some nasty technical problems, but here we are with our complete coverage of this week’s episode of “Breaking Bad”, entitled “Buried”.

The first thing that struck me after viewing this episode was how consistently tense it was. Other than Huel and Kuby’s silverfish routine, every scene had me on the edge of my seat wondering how it would play out – who would talk and who would stay silent – who would be dead by the…
Read MoreTonight the biggest question I had on my mind coming into the second episode of the back half of Season Five of Breaking Bad was, “will Vince Gilligan maintain the stakes he set with the premier? Or, having thrown down the gauntlet, will he pump the brakes a little, let us catch our breath, and…

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.

I feel like a weiner dog stretched at both ends trying to come up with something fresh to say about tonight’s episode of Breaking Bad, “Blood Money”, without repeating myself. Lucky for me this show outpaces a Star Trek replicator set to to “blueberry pie”. I couldn’t be happier with the premiere of the final…
Read MoreThat was an incredible episode. As you know if you listened to our preseason coverage, I was very nervous about how this season could go, and what impact it could have on Breaking Bad’s legacy. If this episode is any indication, Vince Gilligan is not playing around. One of the things I was most nervous…
