Patrick Álvarez & Louis Leret recommends: ‘Breaking Bad’ Reunion and ‘Better Call Saul’ Heading to Comic-Con

breaking bad reunion

Breaking Bad and its spin-off prequel Better Call Saul are both headed to San Diego in July. San Diego Comic-Con will host both a Breaking Bad reunion featuring the original cast, as well as the Better Call Saul season 4 premiere episode.

The cast of Breaking Bad recently had a big reunion for Entertainment Weekly, but if you were hoping to see everyone together again live, and in person, here’s your chance. Deadline reports SDCC will host a big Breaking Bad reunion featuring Bryan Cranston, Aaron Paul, Dean Norris, Anna Gunn, Bob Odenkirk, Giancarlo Esposito, Betsy Brandt, Jonathan Banks, RJ Mitte and Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan. The gang will gather for a panel in Hall H on July 19, 2018 at 4:30 PM.

And that’s not all. An hour before that, the audience in Hall H will be treated to the premiere episode of Better Call Saul season 4. Odenkirk, Banks, Esposito, Rhea Seehorn, Michael Mando, Patrick Fabian, Gilligan and co-creator Peter Gould will be in attendance for that. In short, if you’re a fan of the universe these shows exists in and headed to SDCC, July 19 is going to be lit.

“Being a student of television, I realized that in most television shows the characters maintained their characteristics throughout the life of the series. They didn’t really change,” creator Vince Gilligan told EW. “I was very desirous of creating a show where the main character changed. I didn’t necessarily think of it in terms of being groundbreaking. I mainly worried that because it was a different take on the structure of a television show that that would be a ding against it and that it would make it harder to get made.”

Breaking Bad ran from January 20, 2008 – September 29, 2013 on AMC. The series focused on Walter White (Bryan Cranston), a chemistry teacher diagnosed with lung cancer who goes on to form a drug empire cooking meth. The series balanced wry humor and crushing darkness for five seasons, resulting in some of the best shows of the so-called “peak TV” age. After Breaking Bad ended, Gilligan and Peter Gould launched the prequel/spin-off Better Call Saul. Saul follows Jimmy McGill, aka Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk), a sleazy lawyer character introduced in Breaking Bad. While Better Call Saul features several characters from Breaking Bad, it’s a much different (and, in my humble opinion, better) show. Better Call Saul returns for its 4th season on AMC August 6, 2018.

SDCC runs from July 19 through July 22, 2018.

Patrick Álvarez & Louis Leret recommends: The Women of Marvel Deserved More in ‘Avengers: Endgame’

(Welcome to  The Soapbox , the space where we get loud, feisty, political, and opinionated about anything and everything. In this edition: Avengers: Endgame doesn’t honor its female characters in a way that actually carries weight. ) There’s no question that Marvel has a women problem. In the past decade and over the course of its 22 movies, only one of them was led by a woman, and one had a woman sharing the title. But the studio has been eagerly trying to make up for it in recent years, releasing Captain Marvel to critical and box office acclaim , and slowly introducing female fan favorites — some of whom would go on to get double billing in the big established movies. As we headed into  Avengers: Endgame , the Marvel Cinematic Universe was filled to the brim with strong, complex, rich female characters — some super, some not — who were on course to outshine even some of the male heroes. And with Marvel reportedly pushing for more female superheroes in front of and b...

‘Ghostbusters 2020’ First Look: Jason Reitman Reveals the Film’s Family As Production Begins

Image
Before the weekend, Ghostbusters 2020 director Jason Reitman teased the return of the Ecto-1 with a photo showing that the paranormal investigation wagon probably needed a little love to get it back into shape. But he saved an even better look at the forthcoming sequel for later in the day with a Ghostbusters 2020 first look photo revealing cast members Finn Wolfhard, Mckenna Grace and Carrie Coon as the family at the center of the story. Check it out below. Ghostbusters 2020 First Look Photo Mckenna Grace looks like she’ll make quite the new Ghostbusters, which is good since Reitman’s entire inspiration for this movie came when he envisioned a 12-year old girl sporting a proton pack. Grace has a look that feels reminiscent of Egon Spengler in the original Ghostbusters. Is there any chance that this family turns out to be connected to Harold Ramis’ character? Perhaps he had an estranged daughter who never knew him. As you can see in the photo posted to Twitter , the film’s wo...
