In this penultimate episode discussing episodes 8-10 of Breaking Bad, Adam reacts to the unfolding mystery that Gus Fring has calculated in his intricate planning leading to the fall of the cartel single-handedly by him...whoops...spoilers!!!

But before that discussion in this episode of Resonant Reels; Chandler and Adam chat further about the negative effects of being within the vicinity of Walter White and how he is slowly corrupting people we'd thought would be incorruptable as Skyler transforms and takes on risky opportunities to protect the family.

Furthermore, we see the wedge between Walt and Jesse go to its absolute limit, resulting in the longest and nastiest of fights between them as Jesse is worried about not being good enough for the cartel and Walt just being selfish about his safety.

We also talk about the renewed and pursuing Hank Schrader investigating further into Gus and his operation though bending the rules as per usual. And new fractures in the relationships Walt is having between Hank and now Junior as we witness some vulnerable moments between all these characters.

We explore more throughout these three episodes, anticipating what the end of season 4 has in store for Adam's first viewing of this remarkable feat of television storytelling in this week's episode. So please join us if you've been on this journey with us or want to know our specific thoughts on these episodes of Breaking Bad.

In honor of Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month, Resonant Reels presents a special episode dedicated to celebrating the rich tapestry of AAPI cinema. Join us as we shine a spotlight on two vibrant and culturally resonant films: Bride & Prejudice and Finding 'Ohana.

First on our cinematic journey is Bride & Prejudice, a Bollywood-inspired adaptation of Jane Austen's classic novel Pride and Prejudice. Set against the colorful backdrop of modern-day India, the film infuses Austen's timeless tale of love and social class with the exuberant energy of Bollywood musicals. Join us as we explore the film's fusion of East and West, its celebration of Indian culture, and its wacky fun journey that is out of this world.

Next, we turn our attention to Finding 'Ohana, a heartfelt adventure film inspired by The Goonies that celebrates the beauty and diversity of Hawaiian culture. Directed by Jude Weng, the film follows a group of young explorers who embark on a treasure hunt in Hawaii and discover the true meaning of family along the way. Join us as we dive into the film's lush landscapes, rich mythology, and authentic representation of Hawaiian traditions, highlighting the importance of cultural identity.

Throughout the episode, we'll celebrate the contributions of AAPI filmmakers, actors, and storytellers to the world of cinema, reflecting on the importance of representation and diversity in storytelling. So, whether you're a fan of Bollywood musicals or adventurous family films, join us for a joyful tribute to the vibrant and diverse voices of AAPI cinema.

In this fascinating episode of Resonant Reels, the boys chat about Star Wars with some acknowledgment of the homework material of 2003's Star Wars Clone Wars animated micro-series. It's mainly Adam confused from being an arguably passive fan but with an openness to immerse himself and learn more, and the ramblings of madman Chandler who's been a fanboy for a couple of decades.

From chatting about Genndy Tartakovsky's beautiful animation depicting a new side of Star Wars, we reflect further on the cultural impact of Star Wars in how such an immense universe is so accessible to wide audiences and the everlasting love the franchise still holds.

We also discuss the tense relationship the franchise has presently with the equally diverse and enormous fanbase between the successes and flops from the property post-Disney acquisition.

All in all, it's a fascinating episode learning the depths of knowledge Chandler has on his favorite fandom and sharing a general appreciation they both have for Star Wars and why it's impacted them so intensely.
