Vince Gilligan has had it with fans harassing the real-life owners of the home where Walter White lived in on "Breaking Bad".

Gilligan used a few minutes at the top of Tuesday's "Better Call Saul" Insider Podcast to urge "Breaking Bad" fans to be respectful when visiting the Albuquerque house now famous as the home of the White family.





The house, which was used for exterior shots of "Breaking Bad", has become a tourist attraction, as have many other "Breaking Bad" landmarks. For the most part, its owners have been fine with fans stopping by to take photos, but things have deteriorated recently.

"Lately, we're hearing from the owner that folks are wandering on to her property, and are being rude to her when she comes out and basically says 'you're on my property,'" said Gilligan.

"They are throwing pizzas on roofs and stuff like that. Let me tell you, there is nothing original or funny or cool about throwing a pizza on this lady's roof. It is just not funny. It's been done before. You are not the first."





In season three's episode 'Caballo Sin Nombre', Walter brought over giant pepperoni pizza to his home in an attempt to make amends with Skyler (Anna Gunn).

When she rejected his overtures, he threw the pizza on the roof in frustration — with Cranston famously doing the move in one shot. The scene has become a fan favorite, but the reenactments of it have grown old fast for Gilligan and the homeowner.



"We love our fans. I don't love those fans. I don't consider them fans," said Gilligan.

Jonathan Banks, who plays tough guy Mike Ehrmantraut, added on the podcast, "If I catch you doing it, I will hunt you down."

Yeah I'd probably stop at this point if Mike finds out because he will find you.

Hey, at least they're not trying to burn the house down or crash plane debris over the house. The home owners knew what they were getting into when they agreed to let Gilligan film there. The home value has probably gone way up. A few pizzas chucked on your roof is probably a small price to pay. I'm sure they could sell and pocket a huge profit, if it gets unbearable.

HAHA, you honestly think the homeowners knew what they were getting into?? Breaking Bad wasn't a huge huge phenomenon at the time of that scene the way it was near the end of its run. I guarantee you they had absolutely no idea that people YEARS later would shuck full pizzas up on their roof.

I also guarantee you they had no idea that years later their house would be worth MULTIPLE TIMES the $150k market value prior to shooting

Touche. If I were them, I'd just deal with it. Pizzas dangling off the roof of my house would be no issue if in the back of my head I knew I could sell the home for globs and globs of money!

NOt to mention that, at least once per day, you'd have a group of perfect 10 hotties (Jessie groupies) who you could selectively invite inside and replicate Jessies death metal, pizza junkfest, drugs-all-night party inferno

I think it'd be really cool if the homeowners came outside while people were throwing the pizzas on the roof and they respond with throwing their own pizzas in their faces. I'm pretty sure the cops wouldn't bust the homeowners in that situation.

Lol so many wasted pizzas!

That's okay....they could just get a bunch of Little Caesars 5 buck cheese pizzas that no one cares about. It'd be so awesome to see a shower of LCP's everywhere!

Real Los Pollos Hermanos Restaurant May Happen, Vince Gilligan Says
by Natalie Stone

"Breaking Bad" fans may soon be able to taste the friend chicken their beloved Walter White (Bryan Cranston) enjoyed on the AMC show.

Show creator Vince Gilligan revealed in a Reddit AMA that "there is talk" of making the fictional fast-food joint a reality.



"There is talk of a Pollos Hermanos becoming a real restaurant. This is not an idea that I generated personally. But it's one that's been presented to me, through the good folks at Sony, and the idea came to them from a businessman who has an interest in doing just that," Gilligan wrote.

"Speaking for myself, I'd love to see that happen!"

"Breaking Bad" Creator Vince Gilligan Reveals Huell's Fate
by Will Robinson
5/14/15






"Breaking Bad" managed to end its intense run by tying up as many loose ends as possible, a harder feat in modern TV than it sounds. Critics and fans alike were mostly appeased with what creator Vince Gilligan and the writers cooked up.

Mostly, I say, because the fate of Huell was never explicitly revealed.



Sweet Huell was the gigantic, barely intimidating henchman of crook lawyer Saul Goodman. Hank and Gomie snapped him up as part of a ruse and left him in a safe house near the end of season 5.

Last we saw, the camera was wistfully lingering on him as he stared down the door, awaiting help and liberation. Theories on theories arose trying to guess what happened next for Saul’s amazingly subpar bodyguard.





Thankfully, Gilligan laid that all to rest in a newly released Breaking Bad book. The excerpt was snapped by enterprising redditor maalbi (then posted by Uproxx):


Is Huell still waiting for someone to come back for him?

Yes, sadly he’s waiting morosely on that sofa, looking like a lost puppy… [Laughs] No. It’s likely that Agent Van Oster keeps in touch with DEA headquarters. So when he learns Gomez and Hank have gone missing, he would in short order tell his superiors what they were up to.

Within a matter of hours, really not that many in story time, Huell will be taken back to HQ. They’ll question him, find out what he knows — which isn’t much — and he’ll be let out on the street. Right now, he’s doing what Huell does best, whatever that is. He’s out and about as a free man.

Wait, there is a new Breaking Bad book??? And I thought he already revealed this right after the finale lol

[JamesG.]

A limited-edition line of “Heisenberg” Blue Ice Vodka, inspired by the hit television series "Breaking Bad", is available this week in California, on Reserve Bar and nationwide soon.

The bottles have one of three phrases written across the front: “Say My Name,” “The One Who Knocks” or “Tread Lightly.”




Creator Vince Gilligan says:

“The Dude had his White Russians, the Blues Brothers had their Night Train … and now Heisenberg has his very own Blue Ice Vodka! I’m counting on our fans to use it in the creation of a great many delicious cocktails. I’m thirsty just thinking about it.”




Thomas Gibson, president of 21st Century Spirits, says:

“We are extremely proud of this collaboration between one of the finest shows on television and our best in class Blue Ice Vodka. Our desire for the ‘perfect batch’ of vodka mirrors the unyielding commitment to quality exhibited by both the series and the notorious Heisenberg.”
