Cooking a Contemporary Classic: A Conversation with Breaking Bad

(120 mins)

Currently gearing up for its final 16 episodes, AMC's Breaking Bad has boldly and relentlessly tested the boundaries of television, developing an antihero never before seen. In his portrayal of anxiety-ridden, recession-burdened provider Walter White, Emmy Award-winning actor Bryan Cranston skillfully evokes a man’s riveting, complex descent from good to bad. Join Cranston, Aaron Paul, Anna Gunn, Betsy Brandt, RJ Mitte, Dean Norris, Jonathan Banks and Bob Odenkirk with series creator Vince Gilligan as they discuss how a show about a high school chem teacher with a mobile meth lab in the New Mexico desert has evolved into what many consider the best hour on television.

Moderated by film critic Robert Abele
