Afternoon Links: Breaking Bad Ready to Reboot, Only in Spanish, and With Different Characters
Yesterday we saw the character posters for Metastasis, Univision’s Spanish-language adaptation of Breaking Bad. They looked … cool? Fine? As does this trailer? I’m fairly sure the opinion of any American who just finished watching AMC’s series means less than nothing to Univision. What can I say? “They better have twists! Marie better wear blue […]

How Bayern Munich Dismantled Manchester City
Let’s marvel at the first 75 minutes of football that Bayern Munich put together on Wednesday en route to a dominant 3-1 win over Manchester City by breaking down their three goals. (Apologies for those of you outside of the U.S., for whom I would recommend heading to 101 Great Goals for video highlights.)

The Andy Greenwald Podcast: The Bridge Co-Showrunner Elwood Reid on the Challenges of the First Season
The first season of The Bridge, which ended last night on FX, was like nothing I’ve ever seen before — and I mean that in all senses.
