I thought you were going to reference the fairly mediocre “U.S. Marshals”.

It’s so easy to forget that Barry’s the villain until he goes full-on monster when things turn against him. I was so proud of Hank standing up to him!

Barry’s deadpan “that guy’s here to kill me” was so good.

I think the joke is more Rip Torn was “notoriously unstable” than “a badass”

The main thing that pointed me in that direction was how much more poised and confident Kristen seemed in the second scene. One could attribute that to her story about how Sally was the only one to “get anything out of her” among the acting classes she’s taken, but to me the more reasonable interpretation (which, on Ba…

Good lord. That scene between Hank and Barry was great and man did Hader ratchet up the psychopath level.  

...so much so that I thought the role Kristen booked was as Sally in an upcoming film version...

HBO taking pot shots at Rip Torn (RIP Rip). Artie helped build that network god damn it! 

I think the “pea-shooter” was a gun disguised as a pen, a gag wonderfully set up by “gadgets that never work” discussion. 

This was the funniest episode in quite a while. And hiring comedy pros for small parts is welcomed too.

I was half expecting an episode of Los Amigos Gadgets to appear online.

-He told you that?

I dug “We still have the room for, like, an hour!”

I cracked up when the waitress walked up while Hank was openly talking about doing organized crime.

The D&B shit was fucking gold.
