407 – “Dead Weight” – Instant Take

Not a lot of love from Jim or A.Ron this episode, and some pent up anger over last week’s episode now that we’ve seen Gimple’s plan for the Governor’s character unfold.  Feels like a lot of wasted opportunity over the last two weeks, especially with how much we were all invested into resolving the Carol…

405 – “Internment” – Instant Take

Jim and A.Ron review a powerhouse, although still problematic around the edges, episode of The Walking Dead, “Internment”.  Find out our off the cuff observations and thoughts about Hershel’s heroics, the Grimes and Son wrecking crew, Carolgate fallout, and the return of a rather polarizing character. As always, if you like what we do, give…

404 – “Indifference” – Instant Take

Our “Instant Cast” for The Walking Dead episode 404, “Indifference” is up! There were a lot of problems in this episode, and Jim and I break down why we were feeling a bit worse than “indifferent” about the adventures of Rick and company this week. Agree? Disagree?

401i – “30 Days Without an Accident” – Instant Take

Jim and I recorded our first “instant take” podcast for season four of “The Walking Dead”, for episode 401 – “30 Days Without an Accident”.  While we have some quibbles here and there, we’re in agreement that this was a pretty darn good episode of The Walking Dead!  We get to slow down and have a…

516 – “Felina” – A.Ron’s “Instant Take” Review

I don’t know what the reaction is from the critics, or even a sizable sample of the Breaking Bad fandom, but from our little room in Anderson, Indiana, everyone seemed to really dig the finale, as did everyone on our Facebook thread. I outlined at the beginning of this season what I was hoping the…

516 – “Felina” – Jim’s Instant Review

The Villigan has been quoted as saying the series finale of Breaking Bad would not please all the fans.  While I agree that it’s impossible to please everyone, this is one fan who was certainly pleased. I can’t imagine a more fitting end for Walter White.  He finally admitted that his reasons for doing the…

516 – Felina – Instant Take

The End of Breaking Bad. Wow. I think I’m still in denial, honestly, but what I’m not denying is this: this was the most incredible finale season I’ve ever seen, and I am 100% satisfied with how things went for the final episode.

515 – “Granite State” – Jim’s Instant Take Review

I think I may have dropped the oh-shit-this-show-makes-me-feel-dirty bomb a week too early.  That idea was ratcheted up this week. All along, we’ve been questioning where to draw the line on Walter White.  When should we jump ship and say “this is an evil man, he deserves what he gets”?  For many, that line was…

515 – “Granite State” – A.Ron’s “Instant Take” Review

Up until tonight, I could see a semi-happy ending to Breaking Bad.  I had to squint maybe, but it was there.  Okay, so what if Walt, Skyler, Hank, Marie, even Walt Jr. end up biting it.  We can always have Jesse and Baby Holly on the run with a barrel full of cash.  I’d take…

515 – Granite State – Instant Take

We had a lot to say about this episode, without talking about the actual episode. Is that weird? It’s just all our thoughts and feelings about this season, and where it’s going, and whether we feel good about it or not. It’s a weird “instant cast” for a weird, slower paced, brutal penultimate episode. I think my last hopes for even a modicum of happy ending died tonight. Can’t wait to see what everybody else thought!
