Everyone’s coming down from their collective high now that Breaking Bad is over, which is the right time to start deconstructing the show in one episode! While dealing with coughing fits, Earl blackmails Parker Mott to partner up with him and delve into the finale as well as the whole series. They discuss its structure, visual style, pacing, and whether or not it stayed true to its original mantra. And much like its protagonists, they get off-track by comparing it to Lost and The Wire, and do impressions of bros watching the show. Jump aboard the RV and have a listen! (Spoilers for the whole series.)

Now the story of a wealthy family who lost everything and the one podcast that had no choice but to have All Kinds of Philler… it’s Arrested Development. That’s right, the long-awaited fourth season is finally here! Earl chats with Anna after marathoning all 15 episodes about the latest season of the TV show and what they think of the series as a whole. Just like the show, they both have a rich back-story, get ahead of themselves in their discussion, and say some inappropriate things! Was this new season a “Mission Accomplished”, or have they made a huge mistake?
