Join the pplpod crew as we deep dive into what is widely considered the best TV episode of all time: Breaking Bad Season 5, Episode 14, "Ozymandias". We break down the absolute collapse of Walter White’s empire, from the tragic death of Hank Schrader in the desert to the harrowing knife fight that finally shattered the White family.

In this episode, we analyze:

• Rian Johnson’s masterful direction and Moira Walley-Beckett’s Emmy-winning writing.

• The symbolism behind the title and its parallels to Percy Shelley’s poem regarding hubris and lost legacies.

• The pivotal performance by Bryan Cranston and Anna Gunn, including the controversial phone call that redefined Skyler’s culpability.

• Behind-the-scenes secrets, including the ad-libbed "Mama" moment and the visual "dung beetle" metaphor of Walt rolling his money barrel.

Tune in to find out why this hour of television held a perfect 10/10 IMDb rating for over a decade and how it cemented the tragic legacy of Heisenberg.
