It took six years after the end of Breaking Bad for Walt and Jesse to share the screen again in El Camino. It took three more years to get this meth-making duo together for another flashback scene in Better Call Saul. And now, it's taken just six months for these Bad boys to pop back up, but this time, they're embarking on a slightly healthier and more lawful business venture. There will be a brief Breaking Bad reunion during Super Bowl LVII on Sunday, one that features chemistry teacher-turned-meth-lord Walt (Bryan Cranston) and his former-student-turned-apprentice Jesse (Aaron Paul).
Warning: This post contains spoilers for Alligator. Bryan Cranston is an acting legend thanks to his portrayal of Walter White in Breaking Bad. But did you know that decades before pretending to deal meth on the AMC show he was stuffing fake blood and guts inside a giant reptile on the set of the 1980 creature feature Alligator? Cranston recalls his experiences working on the Robert Forster-starring film in one of the bonus features included on Scream Factory's now-available-to-buy collector's edition 4K UHD + Blu-ray combo pack release of Alligator.
Bryan Cranston and Bob Odenkirk are paying tribute to their late costar Mark Margolis, the Emmy-nominated actor who starred as Hector "Tio" Salamanca on Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, after he died Thursday at 83. "I am very saddened today to learn of a friend's passing," Cranston wrote on Instagram on Friday. "Mark Margolis was a really good actor and a lovely human being. Fun and engaging off the set, and (in the case of Breaking Bad and Your Honor) intimidating and frightening on set.
Your Honor, the verdict is in: Bryan Cranston's Showtime drama is ending after season 2. "I am preparing for the second and last season of Your Honor, which is a limited series that I did for Showtime," the actor revealed on Dax Shepard's Armchair Expert podcast. "As they tell me, it got higher ratings than any other series they've ever had — and so, one more season of that." Reps for Showtime did not immediately respond to EW's request for comment.

Don’t forget to subscribe for more exclusive interviews and photos, only in EW. Bumblebee is no longer disguising its bad guys.

If it hasn’t already happened, today can go down in the record books as the day subtlety died. Burger King’s latest advertisement — for its, ahem, BK Super Seven Incher — leaves little to imagination or interpretation. As you can see here, the woman in said advertisement is about to go down on said Super Seven Incher with a suggestive tagline that uses the word “blow.” Mmhmm, I think it’s safe to assume that such humor will only be going over the heads of those younger than, oh, about 13 years old.
Stand back. Busta Rhymes is going ballistic. ”What the f— am I supposed to do? Stand here and tolerate disrespect because it’s ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY? I live by morals and integrity first, I didn’t come in here with no disrespect, knowwhumsayin’? Forget it, this s— is over!” With those words — and about 5,000 others, delivered at top volume — Rhymes puts an emphatic end to an EW photo shoot. If you think his rapping is incendiary, you’ve obviously never experienced the full force of his stentorian wrath.

Comedian Barry Crimmins has died at the age of 64. In the late ’70s, Crimmins founded Boston’s Ding Ho Comedy Club, which helped launch the careers of many stand-ups, including Steven Wright, Denis Leary, and Dana Gould. Crimmins also played an influential role in developing and promoting a more politically-minded and socially-aware vein of comedy. “We sort of were able to carry on from where Lenny Bruce got things,” Crimmins said on the WTF with Marc Maron podcast in 2013.
