I just realized Mrs Wease is out of town until Tuesday. I have to wait for her to watch it. Dammit.
What? Just watch it.
Aw huh
Nah. There’s only a few things we watch together anyway.

Is it like a thing that you watch it together? Like, will she be mad if you watch it alone and then again with her?

I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Todd being so fucking fat now is really throwing me off. Couldn't they have made him get back to his BB weight?

They could have had Jim Gaffigan play the role and never have missed a beat.

El Camino was okay

I feel like they spent a little bit too much time retconning. I don’t know why that scene with Jane didn’t sit well with me, but it just didn’t feel like the same character

Watched this last night. Absolutely loved it!
Netflix kept crapping out on this title, so ended up having to grab it from one of those illegal download sites

Loved it. So much. Great farewell to the amazing Robert Forster too.

so fucking cool to have another Jesse adventure. I really liked that we had some closure with him...and we got a chance to see how those nazi bastards treat him. Paul was wonderful and i did like the Walter scene.

It was OK. No real surprises or thrills. This doesn't alter the Breaking Bad story in any meaningful way. It's just a nice dip back into this world, and a nice epilogue/check-in with these characters. Good to see a couple Better Call Saul references too. Unnecessary but fine.

The overhead dissection of Jesse tossing the apartment was one of my favorite shots.

Well that was unnecessary. Fine way to spend an hour and a half but meh.

Also, it was a bit distracting how fat Jesse Plemmons has gotten over the 6+ year time off from Breaking Bad. Minor gripe but I couldnt help myself.
