Breaking Bad

While most of us who watched Breaking Bad associated its title with the dramatic transformation of Walter White from everyday Joe Schmoe to drug kingpin, but ScreenPrism shows us how multiple characters on the series had similarly destructive trajectories.

Better Call Saul returns on August 6, 2018. And while we’re excited for new stories, and more Breaking Bad connections, we’ll miss one of the show’s most compelling characters, Chuck McGill. ScreenPrism looks back on Chuck’s story arc, and what it tells us about Jimmy.

In the aftermath of last season’s tragic end, Jimmy continues his journey from low-rent lawyer to attorney to the criminal stars, and Mike takes a job with Madrigal Electromotive as Better Call Saul gets ever closer to the world of Breaking Bad. Premieres 8/6/18 on AMC.

(PG-13) “I am awake.” 10 years ago, Breaking Bad introduced us to Walter White and Heisenberg. It’s easy to say that the former changed into the latter, but ScreenPrism argues that Heisenberg was always there. Walt simply let him out, then refused to rein him in.

Esther Bellido’s animated short summary of Breaking Bad is more than a bit derivative of the work of 1A4 Studio, but we do have to hand it to her for summing up the core plot points for all five seasons of the series in just 77 seconds. Also, we want to play this as a side-scroller.

(PG-13, Gore) “It is growth, then decay, then transformation.” A group of fans spent a total of 2 years re-cutting Breaking Bad into a 2-hour movie. It’s not a highlight reel, but a re-configuring that even people who haven’t seen the series can appreciate.
