Happy Valentine's Day! I hope you had a lovely time with your sweetheart, and if you don't have one, I hope you were extra nice to yourself.
In honor of the confirmed news about the Breaking Bad movie, discussed on last night's episode of the Matt Sager Podcast - https://www.spreaker.com/user/mattsager/episode-103-breaking-bad-movie-update - here's a rebroadcast of my first podcast reporting on the story, from November 2018.
This episode featured a fair amount of speculation, much of which has now been confirmed to be fact. Not that I'm bragging! It's just kind of interesting that as a die-hard fan, with no connections to the show, I was able to telegraph some of the likely directions that the - no, you know what? I am bragging. Why lie?
Also discussed on this episode is the horrible response from fans at BlizzCon regarding the announcement of Diablo Immortal, another story that's making headlines, as Activision and Blizzard made headlines this week for a massive round of layoffs: https://kotaku.com/the-fallout-of-activision-blizzard-s-massive-layoffs-1832597892
The first reporting of 2 huge entertainment news items were already on my mind way back in November, and they're both still developing.

Original episode description from November 8, 2018:
There's going to be a Breaking Bad movie! The script making the rounds in Albuquerque, titled "Greenbrier" - almost certainly a working title, designed to avoid leaks like this one, is in fact a Vince Gilligan-helmed, 2-hour Breaking Bad movie! Whether it will be a prequel, sequel, or perhaps a bit of both like Better Call Saul, is unknown. The Hollywood Reporter has the news, albeit with very few details: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/breaking-bad-movie-creator-vince-gilligan-works-1158881
The fact that this didn't totally dominate the news today is likely owed to the fact that the midterms were yesterday, Trump is firing people and banning journalists, so there's a lot going on in the world - none of which is as awesome as this news!
Also, Lord Fluffy - also known as "the boo guy," featured on last night's episode of the Matt Sager Podcast, has more to say about his experience at BlizzCon: https://youtu.be/te-P2S4TvEY
