"Confessions"- Breaking Bad final episode recap.**EVIL-SPOILERS**

     If any episode of Breaking Bad made you think Walter White has become a despicable man, it was this past Sundays episode.  Aside from previous seasons, where he's poisoned children, let co-workers girlfriends pass away in their own vomit, and EVERYTHING he does to Jesse.  This weekend, he lied to his handicapped son, threatened to frame his brother in law, and STILL manages to hurt Jesse...again.  The only difference this time, is that Jesse called him on it and knows about some of the things he's been lied to about by Walter.

Wore this shirt watching "cofessions", pretty fitting for this episode.


Jess gives nothing to Hank in the interrogation room we were left off in last Sunday, other than an "eat me" to Hank when he tried the nice cop approach.  Hard for him to swallow since last time Hank spoke to him it was with his fists.  Saul tosses him out with an awesome Rocky movie reference that makes me laugh as I type this.  Once he's saved from the interrogation that was brought on by his money deliveries, its time for another cool shot of Walt, Jesse, and Saul in the desert to meet about how they're going to handle Hank knowing the Heisenberg connection.  In this scene, Jesse call Walt on his fake father figuring and asks him to be honest for once, he hugs him...like rubbing it in his face that he in fact will not come clean ever!

Jesse accepts the idea of making a better life elsewhere that proposed, even if it is to save his own ass. Some how, on the way to meet his ride and new identity Jesse and a pack of cigarettes go on rampage as he discovers the Ricin smokes were lifted from his pocket and could possibly have made Brock, his girlfriends son sick.  Jesse goes on Rampage and beats a semi confession out of Saul, steals his car and heads to Walts house to lay waste to the liar's land.

Jesse is technically just some guy Walt knows from his shady business, but playing on your handicapped sons sympathy and using his emotions to keep him from going to his in laws place was pretty low.  He could be doing it to protect his son from all the Heisenberg fallout, but that whole scene was just low.  Making him feel sorry for him by bringing up his cancer to keep him away from a place he would probably be safe.  Until he decides to frame Hank anyway, which the way it was done seems like he planned it from the moment he got diagnosed with cancer.

There's a lot of mention of Walter and him being the Devil, it was said when Hank came out of the bathroom when these final episodes started, and we hear Jesse call him the same in the peeks at  next weeks episodes.  This past episode may make you agree, he is pretty freaking bad.

Better Late Than Never Review: All The Phantasm Movies

The Phantasm Series Shows Players Riding Out Their Passions I just recently watched all the Phantasm movies.  I watched the entire franchise in two days after not seeing any of the films since I was a kid. I know things are opening up and the weather is nice, but we're not quite out of the COVID-19 woods yet. Since that is the case I am still re-watching old horror flicks and catching ones I might have missed . The Phantasm series stretches to almost 40 years of horror, beginning in what I feel was the best time for horror films, the 80s. The first one, Phantasm (1979) came out when I was still wet behind the ears, barely a kid. I didn't even set eyes on it until the early 80s. All I could remember about the movie was "The Tall Man,' played by Angus Scrimm in all the films, those flying chrome-plated death spheres, and little dudes in cans.  Along with Scrimm, the film stars Michael Baldwin, Bill Thornberry, and Reggie Bannister. Baldwin plays Mike Pearson, who is the...

Brush Fire and How I Finished My First Novella

Brush Fire is the first of many stories that I hope to write. Photo by Patrick Fore on Unsplash Some years ago, in 2015 I attended the NJ Comic Expo . I was covering it for this site, to gain experience and get my feet wet covering events since it was something I knew I wanted to do for my freelance work. Writing is something I never thought I would get into, but I fell into it through my love for martial arts, reading, and film. It's why I made this site, so I can write about the things I love. By looking for things to write about, I found that my love for reading balances out with my love of writing. Usually, I do one, then the other but a lot of the writing I do is inspired by the work I do for combat sports. I don't want to be a one-trick pony. I want to evolve my writing and I'm always looking for ways to get better.  Some of my favorite stories in various mediums come from Stephen King . So, when I went looking for instruction on how he writes, I found his book ...

Sony ZV-1 Field Tested

Photo by Ravi Palwe on Unsplash I got to field test the Sony ZV-1 camera outside of just using it for streaming and let me tell you, this is a great camera for folks that want to get into video content. A few weeks ago I was back at my first event covering MMA since COVID-19 hit when I went to cover Bellator 282 for MyMMANews.com. After over 2 years of covering events remotely through ZOOM it was time to get back on the road. Not traveling left me with time to invest in equipment for covering events on the road.  Previously I used a Go PRO Hero 5 with a mic attachment, which worked well a while but had its limitations. Check out this interview with Valerie Loureda from 2019: During the two years of being stuck at home, I focused on what I could from there and decided since I was saving so much money from not going anywhere, I'd invest in better equipment. So, I got a stronger laptop to handle video content, and I picked up the Sony ZV-1. It was initially just to get a better...
