514 – Ozymandias

Bald Move
About this episode

Watching this episode took a year off my life, Princess Bride-style.  It felt like it lasted 3 weeks long.  It was sad, heart-pounding, gut wrenching, and absolutely a stunning hour of television.  Find out what our final review was, as we discuss Uncle Jack’s soft spot, Ozymandias references and homages, the curious indifference to reckless driving and bullet holes by the NM State Police, stray dogs, and stealth f-bombs.  All this, your feedback, and a very, very light spoiler section as we enter the home stretch of this final season of Breaking Bad.

Malia dedicates this podcast to everyone who could never get enough of talking about Breaking Bad and to Denise, who always asked her about Breaking Bad — even though she didn’t watch — because, she said, “It’s fun to see you light up when you talk about it!” “Ozymandias” is the pinnacle. Thanks, Jim and A. Ron for keeping the conversation going.

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, br ... Show More

515 – Granite State
The penultimate episode turned out to be the calm before the presumed storm of the finale.  It featured many scenes of quiet introspection, a character study of two desperate men; one with no choices available to him at all, and the other with a few good choices left but lacking ... Show More

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. Thanks to everyone who showed up for our Finale ... Show More

We are incredibly pleased with the penultimate episode of HBO’s The Leftovers, “The Most Powerful Man in the World (and His Identical Twin Brother)”. It is true that this episode is ridiculous, and dumb, and it doesn’t make any sense, and we shouldn’t care so much about, much lik ... Show More

Jim and A.Ron were equally entertained yet ultimately frustrated by The Walking Dead’s season 7 finale, “The First Day of the Rest of Your Life”.  Well staged action and CGI stunt tigers get the pulse pounding, but it’s not long before well worn bad habits start to get in the way ... Show More
