Welcome to our coverage of Breaking Bad episode 211, “Mandala”!  This is a pivotal episode in Breaking Bad history, and Jim and A.Ron go almost two hours on a very deep dive, discussing among other things our “heroin; not even once” personal philosophy, the rapid deterioration of both Jane… and Jesse’s apartment, say goodbye to our friend Combo, and get philosophical about the Buddhist concept of “mandala”.  It’s a superior and meaningful episode of Breaking Bad, and we got a lot of feedback, and one of the healthiest spoiler sections we’ve had for awhile.  Enjoy!

211 – Mandala

The officially unofficial podcast for AMC’s Breaking Bad.  News, Episode Recaps and Analysis, your feedback and more, all about the Breaking Bad TV series.

TV & Film

Jim and A.Ron watched Netflix’s El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie.  We follow Jesse as he escapes from the nazi compound, and fondly remember a time when nazism in America seemed preposterous.  They enjoyed the movie overall, and are always glad to be back in the ABQ.

El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie (2019)

Shayne Bowman from Film Schlubs and Heisenberg Chronicals fame as well as Eric Wahlquist of Personal Arrogants and Direct infamy join A.Ron to discuss the pro/fan edit of Breaking Bad that was dropped on the Internet last week.  It reduces one of the greatest television shows in history to a single two hour long movie.  What works, what doesn’t, how we’d do it better, and much more are covered.  Spoilers for everything Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, you’ve been warned!

Breaking Bad: The Movie

In what is probably going to be the last Bald Move Breaking Bad podcast ever, we discuss the awesome season three finale that is episode 313, “Full Measure”. So much to talk about, from a back to the beginning’s cold open that has us rethinking what we know about Walt, to Mike planting his flag as an all time great in BrBa history, and the irrevocable moral choices that are going to have impacts that reverberate through the rest of the series.
It’s a great way to end things, and if this is your first time through, by all means continue to enjoy our complete coverage of one of the all time great television shows through seasons four and five. I envy you. If, like us, this is your second, third, or millionth time through, I hope you’ve enjoyed our three season retrospective watch. It has been a blast! Bring on season two of Better Call Saul!

313 – Full Measure

A.Ron and Jim near the end of their re-watch of Breaking Bad season 3, with the thrilling episode “Half Measures”. An incredible episode that has you wondering what’s in store for next week’s installment, which is “Full Measure”. We discuss one of the all time great cold opens in BrBa history, “Wendy”, Marie’s motivational, uh, “techniques”, Mike’s shadowy past, and Walt’s Aztek at it’s most badass and heroic. As next episode will be our last Breaking Bad cast ever, we paused in our coverage to allow you guys to have your say about the series as a whole, or whatever is on your mind. Use the links below to get in touch with us, and we’ll see you back next week to say goodbye to Breaking Bad.

312 – Half Measures

Jim and A.Ron are on to episode 311, “Abiquiu”, an episode of post-modern impressionist vaginas, gangster Food Network show pilots, and unexpected connections to Combos of long ago. Enjoy the flashbacks and fond memories while you can, and then buckle up, because the final two episodes of this season define the levels of crazy that Breaking Bad can get up to!
