Spanning from 2008 to 2013, Breaking Bad was an immensely popular television series. It won countless awards, including a Golden Globe award in 2014 for best drama television series, and a People’s Choice Award, also in 2014, for “Series We Miss Most.” Fortunately for Breaking Bad fans all over, we no longer have to miss it.
Now, in 2019, the show makes a comeback in the form of a Netflix original movie, El Camino. This movie takes place following the climactic events of the television series’ finale, and tells the story of Jesse Pinkman, played by the original actor, Aaron Paul, as he copes with his past and tries to move forward with his life. Staying true to the television series, the movie rendition is directed by Vince Gilligan, the creator of Breaking Bad. In addition, some characters from the TV series make a comeback for this long awaited thriller. Most notable is fan favorite Mike Ehrmantraut (Jonathan Banks), a private investigator with a peculiar set of talents.
If you’re a fan of Breaking Bad and this isn’t on your radar yet, clear your calendar! El Camino is showing at the State Theater this Friday and Sunday (10-11 and 10-13) only! I know I’ll be spending these next few days re-watching the end of Breaking Bad so that I am ready for this weekend. Hopefully I’ll see lots of you there!
