Song of the Day: El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie (“Ambivalent Alaska”) [YouTube link], written by the franchise’s score composer, Dave Porter, provides a poignant, pensive end theme as backdrop to Jesse Pinkman—now re-baptized “Mr. Driscoll“—driving off into “Ambivalent Alaska“, with hope. This well-tuned 2019 sequel serves as a fitting epilogue to the five seasons of “Breaking Bad” and gives us closure on Jesse’s tumultuous life journey. Aaron Paul‘s performance here is staggering in its portrait of the physically and emotionally scarred Jesse. Check out the final scene to this fine BB sequel [YouTube link].
