508 – Gliding Over All

September 4, 2012 Breaking Good

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.

507 – Say My Name

August 28, 2012 Breaking Good

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.

Dave Porter Interview

August 26, 2012 Breaking Good

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!

506 – Buyout

August 20, 2012 Breaking Good

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!
