James Martinez Reflects on How ‘Better Call Saul’ Paid Tribute to His ‘Breaking Bad’ Character: ‘Brilliant’
Image
Breaking Bad was filled with brief but highly memorable character appearances throughout its runtime, and several of the most boisterous personalities from the original show ended up making it into Better Call Saul as Easter eggs for fans. One of the most important people to come and go through the AMC drama, though, only returned through various mentions and innuendos. Still, if you ask the actor who played that role, it all made for a very fitting tribute indeed. In a key Breaking Bad flashback scene, Max Arciniega, portrayed by James Martinez, was introduced as the business partner of Gustavo Fring. Together, the two self-proclaimed “chicken brothers” attempted to make a deal with the cartel to make methamphetamine for them to distribute. Max was a chemist and helped Gus create both the signature Los Pollos Hermanos marinade recipe and his drug formula. During their pitch meeting with Don Eladio at his pool,...

10 Shows Like Sons of Anarchy With No Redeemable Characters
Image
Sons of Anarchy features many characters who are both fan favorites but also irredeemable. Set in a world of crime and chaos, bad situations lead to even worse choices. Before anyone realizes, things are too far gone to be saved.

Shows with no redeemable characters have their own charm. They tend to tackle dark and forbidden topics like revenge, cannibalism and war. Many shows have irredeemable characters like Jax. They may have done one really bad thing, or they have done several over the course of the entire series. From House of the Dragon to Yellowjackets to Breaking Bad, these pitch-black and morally grey characters have caused fans to think about the damning choices they made.

Walter White Is Far Gone in Breaking Bad

As Breaking Bad's protagonist, Walter White is a sympathetic character, similar to Jax Teller in Sons of Anarchy. However, throughout the course of the crime series,...

10 TV Characters The Shows Didnt Know What To Do With
Image
Sometimes, TV shows introduce characters who seem fundamental to the story, but it becomes clear that the writers aren't sure what to do with them after their initial storyline. The result is often that the TV show will repeat the same story many times, focusing on one character. Maybe said character will eventually be written out of the show when the actor or writers have had enough, but they may be needed for one particular future storyline.

Some TV show love interests that were suddenly dropped and great female TV characters that deserved better ended up in these circumstances because creativity had run out concerning their arcs. Great TV shows should effectively use all their characters, at least providing a reason for them to be shelved for a while if screen time is limited. However, it is hard to feel like some shows did not waste characters when they are...

10 TV Shows Where The Protagonist Is Also The Villain
Image
Villain protagonists can carry a TV show with complex characters and brilliant acting. Shows like Breaking Bad and Veep feature characters who become morally worse. The most compelling TV characters are complex, showcasing human imperfection and moral ambiguity.

There are numerous widely acclaimed TV shows where the protagonist is essentially the villain, although they may be the hero of their own story. Some of the TV characters with the best development ever demonstrate negative development, where they only become worse people as the series progresses. It still makes for amazing TV when the show can illustrate the psychology of this character's fall in a dark and nuanced story.

Through a combination of character charisma and brilliant acting, a villain protagonist can carry an excellent TV show about the nature of evil. Because of the villainous characters' complexities, some of the best TV actors of all time are remembered for playing villains or anti-heroes.

Is Gus Fring Gay? Better Call Saul All But Confirms It
Image
Better Call Saul season 6 confirms that Gus Fring is gay, with the episode showcasing his romantic attraction to a man named David. This revelation adds depth to Gus's character and intensifies his motivations, especially in relation to his past relationship with Max, his former business partner. The confirmation of Gus's sexuality is an important step in representation, challenging hetero-normative notions and subverting the trope of queer-coding villains.

Even since his Breaking Bad debut, there have been subtle hints that Gus Fring is gay, and Better Call Saul season 6 has all but confirmed that to be true. Because of his enigmatic nature, everything about Gus Fring (Giancarlo Esposito) has been speculated over, including his sexuality. Outside of Gus' dual existence as a drug lord/fast food restaurant owner, his personal life remained a mystery — no friends, no family, and no romance. Breaking Bad did, however, drop some clues about his sexual...

Breaking Bad Stars Reunite 14 Years After Show's Most Tragic Death

Breaking Bad stars Bryan Cranston, Krysten Ritter, and Bob Odenkirk reunite for new images taken at a recent celebrity poker game. The images come 14 years after the release of season 2 episode "Phoenix," the episode in which Cranston's Walt watches Ritter's Jane die. Jane's death marked a turning point for Walt in Breaking Bad, with death increasingly seen as a way to solve problems.

Breaking Bad stars Bryan Cranston, Krysten Ritter, and Bob Odenkirk are all smiles in new reunion images that come 14 years after the show's most tragic character death. Created by Vince Gilligan, the hit crime drama first premiered on AMC back in 2008 and is now known as one of the best TV shows ever made. The series, which chronicles the downfall of Cranston's Walter White, sees the death of a number of characters over the course of its 5-season run, but the death of Ritter's Jane...

‘Breaking Bad’ & ‘Better Call Saul’ Alums Including Bryan Cranston, Bob Odenkirk Mourn Mark Margolis: “A Strong, Beautiful Soul” & “Class Act”
Image
The bell-ringing, hateful-faced Don Hector Salamanca had no shortage of enemies in Breaking Bad and its prequel Better Call Saul, but cast members and creatives from both series are remembering actor Mark Margolis fondly today. The stage and screen veteran died Thursday at 83, and tributes are all over social media from the likes of Bryan Cranston, Bob Odenkirk, Peter Gould, Michael Mando and others.

“I am very saddened today to learn of a friend’s passing,” multiple Emmy-winning Breaking Bad star Cranston wrote on Instagram. “Mark Margolis was a really good actor and a lovely human being. Fun and engaging off the set (and in the case of Breaking Bad and Your Honor), intimidating and frightening on set. His quiet nature belied his mischievous nature and curious mind…and he loved sharing a good joke. I miss him already. Rest now, Mark and thank you for your friendship and your exceptional body of work.

Bryan Cranston, Bob Odenkirk, Darren Aronofsky Remember Mark Margolis: “A Really Good Actor and a Lovely Human Being”
Image
Bryan Cranston, Darren Aronofsky, Dean Norris and Better Call Saul showrunner Peter Gould are among those remembering their late colleague, actor Mark Margolis, who died Thursday at the age of 83 after a short illness.

Margolis was a journeyman actor who delivered a memorable performance as the bell-ringing drug runner Hector Salamanca on Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. His role in the former, particularly his shocking death in the season four finale “Face Off” in 2011, earned him an Emmy nomination for guest actor in a drama series.

Breaking Bad star Bryan Cranston remembered his late colleague on Instagram Friday, writing he was “very saddened” to learn of the death of his friend, whom he called both “a really good actor and a lovely human being.”

“Fun and engaging off the set, and (in the case of Breaking Bad and Your Honor) intimidating and frightening on set,” Cranston said of Margolis,...

Breaking Bad: Jesse Pinkman's Friends Ranked
Image
With the release of El Camino, Jesse Pinkman's (Aaron Paul) story has finally reached its end. Jesse Pinkman had a beautiful character arc that took him from an amoral, self-involved criminal to a conscientious man hoping to make a better life for himself. As Jesse went on this journey through Breaking Bad and El Camino, he had many friends who helped him along the way. At least some of these friends helped him, others proved to not really be as ride or die as Jesse originally thought.

Jesse Pinkman's friends range from violent drug dealers to kindhearted love interests, so his life is certainly never dull. Each one helps to shape him into the rich and complex character that he is by the end of the series, but some had better influences on him than others. Though Jesse had many associates, there were relatively few that he could actually call...

Better Call Saul: Who Is Max? Gus Fring's Memorial Explained
Image
The "Dedicated to Max" Better Call Saul Easter egg is a dedication to a character previously introduced on Breaking Bad who holds special significance for Gus Fring. Situated at the center of a small and peaceful Mexican village is a luxuriously out-of-place yet tastefully designed memorial fountain with an inscription that reads “Dedicado A Max” or "Dedicated to Max." Though Better Call Saul gives no explanation as to what this means, clues are laid out in Breaking Bad that reveal more about the character of Gus Fring.

Gus Fring is introduced in Breaking Bad as a brilliant and ruthless drug kingpin who hides in plain sight thanks to his public persona as a successful and charitable business owner. However, Better Call Saul humanizes Gus Fring as the spinoff series dives deeper into his character and shows new aspects of her personality and motivations. This includes the tribute he has given to the character of Max,...

The Complete Timeline Of Better Call Saul, Breaking Bad, And El Camino
Image
"Better Call Saul" has ended its sixth and final season, and with it comes what seems like the end of the "Breaking Bad" universe. The prequel/sequel series stood on its own from "Breaking Bad," creating a compelling and tragic story that showed us the transformation of Bob Odenkirk's Jimmy McGill into Saul Goodman. The final season of the critically acclaimed series brought Jimmy's story to an end, with the black & white flash-forwards giving audiences what feels like a definitive ending to this shared universe of two television shows and one feature film.

Throughout both "Breaking Bad" and "Better Call Saul," various flashbacks were used to flesh out the respective characters in each series. Now that the massive story that started with "Breaking Bad" is seemingly at its end with no further spin-offs confirmed, now is as good of a time as any to look back on the timeline of the "Breaking Bad" universe.

Better Call Saul Season 5 Had A Cool (But Confusing) Breaking Bad Easter Egg
Image
From the very first episode of "Better Call Saul," viewers were primed to notice points of connection between the prequel and its parent series. If Bob Odenkirk's Jimmy McGill so much as winked a certain way, "Breaking Bad" fans were eager to analyze it. Is this the moment? Is he becoming Saul Goodman in front of our eyes? When a scene of transformation finally did come, it was much later than anyone expected, but series creators Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould made sure to sprinkle in plenty of "Breaking Bad" connections in the meantime.

The series also doled out its cameos slowly and surely, including crossover characters only when it made sense for Jimmy's story and the parallel origin stories of Gus (Giancarlo Esposito) and Mike (Jonathan Banks). So when Walter White's brother-in-law Hank Schrader (Dean Norris) and his partner Steven Gomez (Steven Michael Quezada) appeared in the third...

Better Call Saul: What Gene’s Intense Moment with Marion Means for the Finale
Bob Odenkirk in Better Call Saul (2015)
This article contains spoilers for Better Call Saul season 6 episode 12.

The first time a character on Breaking Bad or Better Call Saul kills someone intentionally on-screen, it’s always a tipping point in the series. Walter White (Bryan Cranston) spent an entire episode mulling his first murder, complete with composing a pros and cons list, to ultimately settle on killing Krazy-8 (Max Arciniega) with a bike lock. Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul) stands distraught in front of Gale Boetticher’s (David Costabile) door before he pulls the trigger on Gus Fring’s (Giancarlo Esposito) main meth cook.

Jimmy McGill a.k.a. Saul Goodman a.k.a. Gene Takovic (Bob Odenkirk) has never become violent in this manner. However, there is a point in the show’s penultimate episode, “Waterworks,” in which it felt like this moment of truth was tantalizingly palpable. When Gene arrives to ask Marion (Carol Burnett) to...

Better Call Saul: Are Walt and Jesse a Distraction?
Bob Odenkirk in Better Call Saul (2015)
One of the joys in watching Better Call Saul has been getting to see a myriad of favorite characters from the Breaking Bad universe in a new light. We got to see how Hector Salamanca (Mark Margolis) lost his ability to use his motor functions. There are great scenes in which Domingo becomes Krazy 8 (Max Arciniega), the first antagonist in the parent show. Perhaps the best connective tissue between the two programs was giving Mike Ehrmantraut (Jonathan Banks) a backstory.

All of these nods to the past lives of Albuquerque’s underbelly have been well-timed and perfectly executed. It allowed us to glean a clearer picture of the cartel world while not distracting from the main plot. That’s why some fans were equal parts concerned and excited when Walter White and Jesse Pinkman’s (Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul) cameos were announced before the start of the final season.

Old Henry – Review
Image
Tim Blake Nelson in the Western Old Henry. Courtesy of Shout! Studios and Hideout Pictures.

The classic Western rides again, with Tim Blake Nelson playing a quiet widowed farmer with teen-aged son on a hardscrabble Oklahoma farm, who takes in a wounded man found with a bag full of money and soon finds trouble follows. Writer/director Potsy Ponciroli’s low-budget indie Western action film Old Henry sports a much better than expected cast, and is elevated greatly by Tim Blake Nelson in a rare lead role.

Old Henry evokes classic Westerns, with its tale of an aging widowed farmer with a teen-aged son, defending his homestead when a group of armed men come looking for the wounded stranger they took in, and the bag of loot he had with him. Both the stranger and the men who have come looking for him claim to be lawmen, leaving the farmer to decide who to believe.

Old Henry Review: Tim Blake Nelson Commands Quiet, Dark Western
Tim Blake Nelson at an event for Escrocs en herbe (2009)
Henry’s (Tim Blake Nelson) been living and farming his Oklahoma land for almost two decades, if not more—the last ten as a single father to the now-teenage Wyatt (Gavin Lewis). Despite having help from his brother-in-law down the way (Trace Adkins’ Al), this life isn’t an easy one and the kid is desperate to escape it as much because of the work as the stone wall his dad has become. Wyatt feels he’s still being treated like a child when he knows he deserves more; Henry won’t let him hold a gun, let alone learn to shoot one. Tensions rise, Henry’s refusal to bend grows, and you can sense Wyatt is readying to leave the first chance he gets. Then everything changes.

It starts with a horse: saddled but unmanned and covered in blood. Henry decides to head out and find the obviously injured rider,...

Breaking Bad: 10 Things You Didn't Know About Los Pollos Hermanos
Bryan Cranston in Breaking Bad (2008)
Breaking Bad fans will always have fond memories of some specific locations, including the A1A Car Wash, the Albuquarqee desert, the White residence, and the Los Pollos Hermanos restaurant. Plenty of key events happened in these specific locations. Luckily, fans can still see more of Los Pollos Hermonos (the Chicken Brothers) in Better Call Saul.

Founded by Gus Fring and Max Arciniega, the restaurant chain is undoubtedly one of the greatest money laundering enterprises in the history of movies and TV. The restaurant made Gus Fring one of the most respected businessmen in Albuquerque. It's also where the chaotic relationship between Walter White and Gus began.

Will Dean Norris get his Emmy due in drama guest actor, just like ‘Better Call Saul’s’ Michael McKean did?
Image
“Breaking Bad” scored seven nominations in Best Drama Supporting Actor during its run, but sadly none of them were for Dean Norris. He may finally get recognized for his portrayal of Hank Schrader this year in another category and via a similar path of that of another star in the “Breaking Bad”-verse.

Norris is contending in Best Drama Guest Actor after reprising Hank in two episodes of “Better Call Saul” this season — the first time we’ve seen Hank back in the flesh since his gut-wrenching death after that iconic line — “My name is Asac Schrader, and you can go f— yourself” in the iconic “Breaking Bad” episode “Ozymandias.” If he makes it in, it would not be unlike Michael McKean, who was snubbed in supporting in 2017 for the third and his final season of “Better Call Saul,” in which Chuck dies, but bagged a guest bid last year...

Better Call Saul and Breaking Bad Timeline Explained
Bob Odenkirk in Better Call Saul (2015)
The following contains spoilers for Better Call Saul, Breaking Bad, and El Camino.

The nice thing about Vince Gilligan’s Albuquerque universe in Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul is how neat and orderly it all is. Gilligan and his Bad and Saul writers (including Saul showrunner Peter Gould) take an engineer’s approach to crafting their series. When characters are presented with problems, the show makes sure they go about solving them in as realistic and detailed a way as possible.

That appreciation for realism and detail carries over into Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul’s approach to time. There are very few “circa” dates” or “I don’t know, around Christmas, 2004?” dates on either show’s calendar. Breaking Bad established a starting date in its very first episode and then the writers take great care to make sure that everything that happens after (or before) sticks to a realistic timeline.

Veteran character actor Scott Glenn relishes the opportunity to sink his teeth into a rare lead role in this tawdry, if stylishly shot, serial-killer flick. Looking grizzled and emaciated, Glenn is compelling as small-town barber Gene Van Wingerdt, a buttoned-down blend of Billy Bob Thornton's saturnine snipper in The Man Who Wasn't There and Michael Douglas's simmering white-collar workhorse in Falling Down. Like countless other movie psychos, Gene marries a strict puritanical bent — he doesn't like it when his young Hispanic employee Luis (Max Arciniega) curses, for example — with an extremely dark past. Two decades prior, he was arrested for murdering several women, but released due to insufficient evidence. The outcome drove the c...

Exclusive ‘Breaking Bad’ Interview: Emmy Bells Toll For Mark Margolis
Mark Margolis started out his career on the stage performing hundreds of plays and has since contributed to over 40 television series and 70 plus features including Scarface, The Cotton Club, Gone Baby Gone, and every one of Darren Arnofsky’s films.

On Breaking Bad, Margolis played Hector “Tio” Salamanca, the former right-hand-man of the Juarez Cartel, who after suffering a stroke, was unable to speak or walk; left only to communicate with a brass service bell fixed to his wheelchair amd his face. That didn’t stop him from being one of the most memorable characters on the best show in television and at 72, Margolis earned his first Emmy nomination for Guest Actor in a Drama Series. But his nomination was not just a by-product of the Breaking Bad gloss in recent years, instead, it shows how far the excellence of the show extends. Good luck being an extra.

TV Review: Fringe 4.17, ‘Everything in its Right Place’
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars

Finally we get to see some action on the other side, something that’s been a little lacking this season. ‘Our’ Lincoln (Seth Gabel) goes to the other side to help Fauxlivia (Anna Torv) and Alt Lincoln track down a vigilante killer. As we whittle our way down to the last episodes of the season (and maybe the series), there’s going to be plenty of spoiler material. There’s a major development this week and I’m not going to write around it, so only read on if you’ve seen the episode.

Unlike the titular Radiohead song suggests, we begin with everything very much in its wrong place. Lincoln, who began the season as a new recruit to Fringe Division, developed an unspoken attraction for Olivia. Whether she felt the same way we will never know for sure, although the signs were certainly suggestive.

Film Review: Haywire (2011): Steven Soderbergh, Gina Carano
Haywire (2011) Film Review, a movie directed by Steven Soderbergh and starring Gina Carano, Ewan McGregor, Channing Tatum, Michael Fassbender, Bill Paxton, Michael Douglas, Antonio Banderas, Michael Angarano, Matthieu Kassovitz, Natascha Berg, Aaron Cohen, Maximino Arciniega, Tim Connolly, Anthony Brandon Wong, and Eddie J. Fernandez.

Haywire is an action film on a diet. The dietary aspect of the film, much like late 80’s and early 90’s action films, is one of expected and delivered simplicity. This is not necessarily a bad thing as some found the complexity of Brian De Palma’s Mission: Impossible detrimental. Unlike plot-heavy Salt and style-infused Hanna, Haywire can be summed up as: Guy grows jealous of girl, guy tries to kill girl, girl goes after guy.

There is a brutal, complicated swiftness to the first fight scene of Haywire that is never duplicated again in the film, not even in a later hotel room battle. What...

Haywire (2011): First 5-Minutes: Gina Carano Opening Fight Scene
Haywire First 5-Minutes, Gina Carano Opening Fight Scene. Steven Soderbergh‘s Haywire (2011) first five minutes stars Gina Carano and Channing Tatum. The Haywire opening fight scene starts out one way then quickly turns towards the other but not because of what the viewer initially thinks. The scene has no cheesy fight music thus only the ambient sounds of the fight and the diner exist. I read a few people comment on Gina Carano’s acting on other sites but they seem to have forgotten two thing: 1.) She has never studied acting in her life, 2.) This is her first movie.
