Vince Gilligan Chats With Chris Hardwick | Fireside Chat | Breaking Bad 

Vince Gilligan is just such a damn likable guy. Just a LEGIT good guy. Amirite? Such talent, too. Best show ever

10 years since I had my mind blown by S01 of Breaking Bad. Damn, we're old.

Best show of all time

I have a lot of respect for Vince Gilligan. He is absolutely amazing not to mention he is a genius.

When I first saw the BB finale and that Badfinger song began to play at the end I had goosebumps that wouldn't go away. How can this show be topped? It was perfection. Also, I think Better Call Saul is outstanding.

Shows that have definite ending are the ones that are the best. I am so glad Vince Gilligan recognized when it should've ended. If it dragged on, it would have suffered (looking at you, The Walking Dead...). Seriously one of the greatest shows of all time

1:05:19 “Thanks for being here, Walt dies, Jesse gets away” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 savageee

Vince is so humble.

It’s honestly the one show I wish I could erase from my memory purely so I could experience it again without any idea what’s gonna happen

Happy 10th Anniversary Breaking Bad

Breaking Bad is the best tv show ever written in terms of the character motivations from episode 1 to the last ever episode of the show. The final episode is tv at it's finest and purely brilliant.

Did the people who sent questions in via social media even WATCH the friggin show?? "Why does Walt let Jane die?" "Why does Walt poison Brock?" seriously? okay, I can maaaaaaybe give you the first one as open to SOME interpretation, but the Brock thing, it takes awhile to get there, but eventually it's very clearly explained.

Probably the best show I've ever watched. Glad there is a official youtube channel now!

Best show ever! Can’t wait for Better Call Saul!

yeah, I didn't see Breaking Bad until this year, now I'm binge watching Better Call Saul

stopping the video to say... I have explained Breaking Bad as the best TV show I have ever watched in my entire life. Everytime I say that to someone, they look at me with a lot of skepticism. And even I, hearing myself say that, want to doubt it. But after a short bit of reflection, I absolutely stand by that statement. Breaking Bad, is by far, the best television has ever gotten.

I've been waiting for a channel like this for a long time! Vince Gilligan is a super genius and breaking bad is the best show on earth, Loving Better Call Saul as well.

I’m watching breaking bad again and it’s still the greatest show to ever come on tv. Better call Saul is close.

This...is....awesomeeeee!!!!! I can't believe it has been so long!

Vince said "all it takes is one " the same line Saul uses in the finale "Saul gone" when negotiating with the lawyer 07:55

I need more stuff like this to hold me over until Better Call Saul Season 4

Never caught anyone in this cast acting! Finest movie/t.v.series, ever! No more raising the bar, it's been obliterated.

All of this... Under our noses! ❤️

Honestly one of the best interviews I've ever seen, the chemistry, the great questions! Love BB ♡

It is amazing, many years ago, I watched Upstairs Downstairs and it was mind blowing then comes Downton Abbey which blows it away. Then there was the Sopranos which was fantastic then comes Breaking Bad which blows it away. Amazing that things get so much better.

I wish Chris Hardwick stop making jokes and not interrupt Vince Gilligan

I imagine Jesse as happy and living somewhere that is the opposite of New Mexico. I picture him in Alaska working on a fishing boat and building furniture or something. I think his character went through hell and deserves to be happy. I agree with Vince.

Sometimes watching breaking bad feels like its the story of Jesse just as much as it is Walt

Far and away he most well done and well written show in the history of television

To be fair, the first ones hearing the pitch didn't know Bryan Cranston would play Walter White, and Aaron being so good they changed the initial story. I think it would be very easy for the investors to picture something COMPLETELY different from what we know and love now

Learned so much, about the show, but also about making great content

Better Call Saul is as good and strong as Breaking Bad.

I never knew he did this! Man I’ve been missing out on some serious gold

imo, Better Call Saul is BETTER than Breaking Bad--and that is in no way a put down on Breaking Bad. BrBa was the best show I have ever seen on tv. I can only attribute it to the fact that the writers, directors, actors and crew have only gotten better with practice?

I love that someone decided that a small potted plant was needed on that table.

2024, very, very late to the BB universe. What can I say but...BRILLIANT! Have now watched BCS and El Camino. There's room for another movie or series or something after El Camino. If only. I will live in hope while I rewatch everything. Vince, you are amazing. Every word spoken, every frame, is a work of art. Bravo.

i still think walt let jane die because he didnt want her to get in the way

Fun times at the Space! Now I need to find that group pic from the end. ;)

"we got Puppet Yoda back, fuck off" I love hardwick, man!

Vince was so falsely modest throughout this interview

Best show ever!

If his career had ended after only the X-Files episodes he helmed, I’d still think his face should be on currency. And then he went and launched a television narrative universe that cemented a place in the backbone of the whole medium. Good on ya, Vince!

This show is so good!!!

Melhor série!!

"Reverse Purge" Created by Vince Gilligan

aww c'mon. Okay I guess I'm going to be "that guy" to point this out, but I happen to see this video in my recommendations, I get so excited and click on it, that it's actually a NEW thing among all the long-form Vince Gilligan interviews/panels there are out there, and Hardwicke starts it off with a question that Gilligan's already VERY thoroughly explained in like 97 other interviews already? The whole "where did the show come from, how did you pitch it" thing? I'm happy to keep watching this thing, but I gotta be honest this ain't an encouraging start.

I feel so bad for that Brendan guy near the end lmao why come to a breaking bad event without finishing watching the show? 1:03:48

I think fans don;t necessarily want Walt or Jesse to be in the Better Call Saul show but at least have a young Walt or Jesse buying coffee in the background of a scene.

Huell in the zombie apocalypses sounds pretty cool to me.

I would have never known who Giancarlo Esposito, Jonathan Banks, and Aaron Paul were (where?) if not for Breaking Bad. Some of the greatest actors in my lifetime in my personal opinion which is up for debate...

BB still my favorite show ever made

54:11 This guys face looks like Victor lol

Genius

when vince smiles he looks like brad pitt

From New Zealand

Nothing beats Breaking Bad.... nothing.

Vince giving off major Hank Hill vibes in this.

I take it "fireside" is strictly used as a figure of speech...

58:30 did Chris just call out Matt Bellamy from Muse? Lol

understandable for the one guy to run into spoilers but I did feel bad that the host just threw additional spoilers at him. There's something so special about not knowing anything about a tv show, book, or movies these day and witnessing the end for the first time. I didn't watch the series for the first time until covid or shortly before covid and it was such a wonderful experience to have AND something I don't think I would have appreciated the same way if I had watched it around the time that it came out.

usually panels have cringe questions but they were all really good

GOAT

What happened to Jesse- 38:22

30:09 thats very important. D&D settled too often for potential squints.

When they mentioned Rick and Morty I felt like I was in a time loop or something

Internal compass meaning that you better finally follow your own soul? Let's say that once and for all..

F in chat for my boy brandon lmao

where's the fire

Chris you are an amazing moderator…always have been. Vince I love listening to you. Very imaginative and seem to be a regular guy....if not a bit on the spooky side 😊 I watched BB from day one and was hooked. Because of Netflix BB's on a continuous loop on my tv. It's true...I have no idea whats going on in the world. So many things I could and want to say but I’m going to stick to the “end” part of the finale. About time to let it out right? Gretchen and Elliot scene - Fantastic. Couldn’t have been better. A spot on scene about three people who years earlier were headed on the same path and what divergence can do to lives. I was happy Vince (and his amazing team of writers) set the two of them up for a lifetime of fear. Well done ! Jack told Walt they'd kill Jesse after 'dead eye'd Todd' got the information the DEA had on them. Time goes by and Walt assumes Jesse is dead. Skinny Pete and Badger (have to love them) tell Walt blue meth is back. Now he knows Jack didn't kill Jesse and they are cooking. No half measures headed to Jack, his scummy boys and Jesse ! And poor Lydia...yeah, not so much, have some stevia. The look on Walt's face changed when he saw Jesse at Jack's. Walt saw Jesse wasn’t cooking by choice, but by the hands of those Nazi/White Power assholes. We know he went to kill them all. He wouldn't of protected him if the Jack/Jesse partnership were true. However 'Walt' that one move of redemption in no way could cover all the horrible things you did to him. Tsk tsk. Sociopath ! Creepy. As for Walt dying in the lab….I thought it was perfect for a few of reasons…He was happiest in a lab, the cancer battle ends, but most of all, except for Jesse, he wiped out everyone who knew anything about him and his recipe. His recipe was the root of the beginning of the end. And he died as Heisenberg….Screw Grey Matter…..He was proud of being Heisenberg…. ummmmmm again, Sociopath. On a separate note……the last scene with Walter and Skyler was gut wrenching. So much said, facial expressions within a small amount time. The soft spokenness gave me goosebumps. Absolutely amazing writing and acting. Amazing. Nothing like it. Which explains the continuous loop on my tv. One more thing.......does Marie heat up anything besides Lasagna? There's an inside joke to that right?

43:02 The fly episode

Rarely seen a channel that gets 800 followers before his first week is ended

Chris Hardwick is so good!

Reverse purge lol 😂

1:03:48 Ha ha ha ha haha

"I like having written" is not an original Gilligan line. If he said it, he was repeating an old writer's saw that one can hear if one listens to the great Writers Guild interviews (now available on RU-vid) with earlier screenwriters, most of whom do say that writing is an ordeal but having done it is very satisfying. It's an old line. Study up, interviewer.

no one gonna mention that dudes name was courtney?

Vince is great! But let us all take a moment to appreciate that the host is also pretty smart and is asking genuinely good questions.

Vince Gilligan is such a Southern gentleman.

How about a series about a bad guy turn good. A sequel with Jesse Pinkman in the lead.

“Walter dies, Jesse gets away” 1:05:20 😂

So no matter how long it has been. No matter all the new stuff you create mr Gilligan, we are waiting for more from Breaking Bad universe. Get creative. Maybe Walt left a tape for Jesse and a mystery? Maybe Brock gets in trouble, or Mike's Kayla does, and in desperation that set out feelers for Jesse and help! Being back these characters, one more time ! We aren't pushy... we will wait... just don't say NEVER.

cant wait for better call saul season 4

20:26 any1 else think that he's referencing LOST?

id love to erase BB and BCS from my memory and watch it again

Chris needs to talk as little as possible. Lord.

Chris Hardwick is the illest host ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! His best work since The Minstrel Show!!!!

Love Vince Gilligan. Hate Chris Hardwick. Douche is insufferable.

Chris Hardwick is one of the best hosts in the world. I love him!

Shut up, Chris! Le him talk!!!

by saying "my name's Brandon, I'll be quick, so, haha" doesn't make it quick.

I hate this host/moderator. He spends too much time talking about his opinions. The only opinions I care about are from Vince.

I still find Chris Hardwick really hard to like... Kind of insufferable.

british , hey quality over quantity

I think chris hardwicke has cloned himself many times over. One person cant possibly host these many shows

Your voice reminds me of Elon Musk's if I didn't see your face.

Vince Gilligan should buy Epsteins Island and build a series around it ( plot unknown )....but....the TITLE has GOT 2 be....." VINCE GILLIGAN'S ISLAND!"

Comedian? Hardwick? Hahaha, he is the antithesis of funny.

Thank God, they could not carry on with Tuco, he was just a madman and not interesting as a character. Gus was always riveting to watch and a great evil but intelligent character unlike Tuco !

Fly was boring. Rian Johnson messed up the sequels.

Chris Hardwick took a complete lack of comedy talent and made a career for himself as the new Ryan Seacrest. I don't watch anything with Hardwick attached.
