Bryan Cranston & Aaron Paul are BREAKING BAD again in the Popcorners Super Bowl spot

I actually had no idea this was in the works, yet by coincidence (I suppose) I just started re-watching BREAKING BAD a few weeks ago, as I missed those characters and felt it was time for a revisit. Now, thanks to the very popular Popcorners snacks, Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul are back as Walter White and Jesse Pinkman in a Super Bowl ad for Popcorners, and to make it even cooler, it’s actually directed by BREAKING BAD creator Vince Gilligan. The show has been off the air now for 10 years, but it’s still finding new fans and still celebrated by those who know it well. It’s kind of amazing how easily these two slip right back into these roles, and it’s even more fun seeing Ramond Cruz return as Tuco Salamanca. If you haven’t tried Popcorners, they’re actually pretty good, and a much healthier alternative to regular potato chips… my mom is hooked on the Kettle Corn flavor, I like the regular Sea Salt. Look for the Big Game Spot below during the Super Bowl on Sunday.
