The complete series 1-3 of the blackly comic drama starring Bryan Cranston as a high school chemistry teacher who discovers that he is dying from inoperable lung cancer and decides to raise money for his family by embarking on a new career as a crystal meth dealer.
Season 1
Bryan Cranston gives an Emmy Award-winning performance as Walter White, a down-on-his-luck chemistry teacher struggling to make ends meet for his wife and physically challenged son. Everything changes when Walter receives a startling diagnosis: terminal lung cancer. With only a few years to live and nothing to lose, Walter uses his training as a chemist to cook and sell crystal meth with one of his former students. As his status grows, so do his lies, but Walt will stop at nothing to make sure his family is taken care of after he’s gone, even if it means putting all their lives on the line.
Season 2
Season 2 finds Walt and Jesse in way over their heads. As their partnership reaches new heights, Walt and Jesse begin to see the extremes of the drug trafficking business. Their trademark blue meth is making them rich, but it’s getting more difficult than ever for Walt to conceal the truth from his wife Skyler, his son Walter Jr. and his DEA agent brother-in-law Hank. Walt struggles to maintain control of his life as he contends with vicious drug dealers, an increasingly distant wife and son, the impending birth of his daughter, and a strung-out business partner – all while battling terminal lung cancer.
Season 3
Even though his cancer is in remission, chemistry-teacher-turned-meth- maker Walt White still can’t catch a break. His wife has filed for divorce, his DEA agent brother-in-law is out to bust him and a Mexican cartel just wants him dead. But with his family’s future still at stake, Walt cooks up a deal that will make him a fortune, a scheme with a terrible price.

From Scott Aukerman and the comedic geniuses who created the Comedy
Bang! Bang! podcast comes a book that brings the chaotic,
hilarious, outrageous characters of the pod to the page In Comedy
Bang! Bang!: The Podcast, Scott Aukerman transports readers inside
the zany world of the Comedy Bang! Bang! podcast. The book features
brand-new anecdotes and opinions from the wild cast of recurring
characters, and matches the show in tone and wackiness, with
essays, lists, plays, nods to running bits, and four-color
illustrations throughout, helping to bring the zany, satirical,
undefinable world of Comedy Bang! Bang! to the page. The book is
curated by Aukerman and includes introductions by comedy legend
Patton Oswalt, Broadway phenom Lin-Manuel Miranda, and singer
“Weird Al” Yancovik. It also features pieces from Bobby
Moynihan, Andy Daly, Paul Brittain, Ego Nwodim, and many more, all
reprising roles of characters they’ve created for the podcast,
taking readers even deeper inside the lives of these off-the-wall
personalities.
*THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES & NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER* 'A real
gem of a book for comedy fans... honest, irreverent and
fascinating' Matt Lucas 'Bob Odenkirk is not only a brilliant
comedy writer and performer, he is also a comedy fan. This book is
a love letter to all his comedy heroes, full of warmth, heart and
wit' Georgia Pritchett 'Bob is one of the sharpest comedy writers
and actors working today. This is a wonderful memoir ... I devoured
it in one sitting' David Walliams 'I loved this book. I was in a
lift with Bob once, back in the 90s - little did I know how high he
was going' Harry Hill
------------------------------------------------------------- In
this hilarious, heartfelt memoir, the star of Mr. Show and Breaking
Bad spin off Better Call Saul opens up about the highs and lows of
showbiz, his cult status as a comedy writer, and what it's like to
reinvent himself at age fifty as an action-film ass-kicker. Bob
Odenkirk's career is inexplicable. And yet he will try like hell to
explicate it for you. Charting a "Homeric" decades-long "odyssey"
from his origins in the seedy comedy clubs of Chicago to a dramatic
career full of award nominations-with a side-trip into the
action-man world that is baffling to all who know him-it's almost
like there are many Bob Odenkirks! But there is just one, and one
is plenty. Bob embraced a life in comedy after a chance meeting
with Second City's legendary Del Close, then somehow made his way
to a job as a writer at Saturday Night Live. While surviving that
legendary gauntlet by the skin of his gnashing teeth, he stashed
away the secrets of comedy writing-eventually employing them in the
immortal "Motivational Speaker" sketch for Chris Farley, honing
them on The Ben Stiller Show, and perfecting them on Mr. Show with
Bob and David. In Hollywood, Bob demonstrated a bullheadedness that
would shame Sisyphus himself, and when all hope was lost for the
umpteenth time, the phone rang with an offer to appear on Breaking
Bad-a show about how boring it is to be a high school chemistry
teacher. His embrace of this strange new world of dramatic acting
led him to working with Steven Spielberg, Alexander Payne, and
Greta Gerwig, and then, in a twist that will confound you, he
re-re-invented himself as a bona fide action star. Why? Read this
and do your own psychoanalysis-it's fun! Featuring humorous
tangents, never-before-seen photos, wild characters, and Bob's
trademark unflinching drive and humour, Comedy Comedy Comedy Drama
is a classic showbiz tale told by a determined idiot. 'I can't
think of another entertainer who has improbably morphed so many
times and all through real genius and determination' Conan O'Brien
'An exceptionally and uniquely talented man who has had a huge
influence on comedy for over thirty years. And now he's given us
his P.O.V. of that journey. This book is filled not only with
lessons on "making" "it" in "showbiz" but also regular old life
lessons as well (including his killer recipe for "Granny's Sunday
Loaf"). It's funny, informative, and like the author himself,
disarmingly honest. I look forward to meeting him one day' David
Cross
