'Breaking Bad': Watch stars read final scene
You know how you felt when you watched the series finale of Breaking Bad? Now imagine if you'd been one of the people actually living in the complicated skin of these characters since 2006, when that groundbreaking pilot was shot. Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul decided to honor the last unforgiving leg of Walt and Jesse's meth-making journey to hell by reading the finale script aloud together. (Fun fact: Paul actually had to delete a copy of the script from his email because he was so worried that he would sneak a peek.)
The pair convened in March at Cranston's place in Albuquerque, ordered some Greek take-out, cracked open a few beers and tackled the "Felina" script for the first time, dividing up the roles between them. (Cranston, for example, played Todd and Marie while Paul assumed the roles of Skyler and Lydia.) As Paul told EW earlier this fall: "When we got to the final page, it was just… [He takes a deep breath.] Usually at the end of an episode, it says, 'End of episode,' but Bryan read, 'End of series.' And that was it. We sat there and just kind of looked at each other, not knowing what to say. But I could tell both of us were just so…so happy." Recalled Cranston: "It was a moment of silence, like, wowww. We were just quiet for a while, realizing that was the last time we were ever going to read a Breaking Bad script. And then we looked at each other. There are people that you work with and you hope you would stay in touch with, and I know I'll be a friend of Aaron's forever."
A camera crew that had been trailing the show for a two-hour-plus documentary on the making of the final season was on the scene for this moment, and their access is your gain. You can check it out on Breaking Bad: The Complete Series (Nov. 26), the barrel-shaped Blu-ray box set that contains all 62 episodes and 55 hours of special features. To preview their reading of "Felina" right now, watch the following video.

A decade after the release of their last studio album, A Tribe Called Quest reunited in 2008 for short concert tour, during which some old wounds were ripped open, long-festering resentments flared and some nasty, nasty things were said. As luck would have it, actor and first-time director Michael Rapaport was on hand with the crew of his documentary, "Beats, Rhymes & Life: The Travels of A Tribe Called Quest."
After opening with a taste of the drama to come, Rapaport smartly circles back to the beginning, letting each member of the group—Q-Tip, Phife Dawg, Ali Shaheed Mohammed and Jarobi White--contribute to the story of their coming together. Not surprisingly, the tension that has long threatened the band exists almost entirely between Phife and Q-Tip, the two who have known each other since they were 2.
Of course, you can't tell the story of the Tribe without talking about the Native Tongues, the informal collective of rap acts which Q-Tip named after a line on an obscure record called "The New Birth." Among the Tongues were seminal acts like De La Soul, the Jungle Brothers, Monie Love, Queen Latifah and a host of others. The Tribe and the rest of the Tongues were a new breed of rappers, less about boasting and bombast, more about partying, positivity and community.
Throughout the film, Questlove and Black Thought of The Roots, Pharrell Williams, Common, Busta Rhymes, Beastie Boys and others to testify to the Tribe's greatness and influence. Additionally, Rapaport has compiled a great collection of videos, home movies and assorted clips of the band from their early days.
Not to criticize the film or to diminish the story of Tribe, but it's striking how familiar their story is—two creative forces in a band unable to set aside their egos. Lennon walked away from McCartney, Richards and Jagger barely tolerate one another... Phife and Q-Tip are in a classic on-again, off-again marriage that leaves the rest of the family confused and exhausted. Rapaport deftly allows both men to make their case against the other, and then have impartial parties corroborate the charges against both.
What Rapaport lacks in technical skill he makes up for with a passion for his subject that is plain to see, at times a little too plain. And when the closing credits roll, it's hard not to wince at the sight of Tribe being listed as producers, a fact that Rapaport has acknowledge was not ideal.
"They don't have final cut. I don't think in a documentary as intimate as this – as emotional, as personal as it is – that the people it's about should have a say. It's hard for them to have perspective," Rapaport told Rolling Stone.
That said, "Beats, Rhymes & Life: The Travels of a Tribe Called Quest" is a great story about a great band that was at the heart of a movement that left an indelible stamp on popular music and still has heads bouncing all around the world 15 years removed from their heyday.
"Beats, Rhymes & Life: The Travels of a Tribe Called Quest" opens in limited release Friday, July 8. You can read our interview with director Michael Rapaport here.
