Happy Wednesday/Thursday, Boys & Girls.

This installment of The Firewall & Iceberg Podcast was recorded on Wednesday evening, but it's posting on Thursday morning, so the timing is all wonky.

Sorry about that.

It's a packed podcast with discussion of Comic-Con, "Entourage," CBS' "Same Name," the season premiere of "Breaking Bad" (with SPOILERS, obviously) and, of course, "Twin Peaks."

The breakdown:

Comic-Con -- 01:15 - 08:40

"Entourage" -- 08:40 - 18:30

"Same Name" -- 18:30 - 27:00

"Breaking Bad" -- 27:15 - 42:15

"Twin Peaks" -- 42:30 - 52:00

As always, you can subscribe to The Firewall & Iceberg Podcast over at the iTunes Store, where you can also rate us and comment on us. [Or you can always follow our RSS Feed.]

And here's the podcast...

Daniel Fienberg
Executive Editor

A long-time member of the TCA Board and a longer-time blogger of "American Idol," Dan Fienberg writes about TV, except for when he writes about movies or sometimes writes about the Red Sox. But never music. He would sound stupid talking about music.

Are you going to discuss Web Therapy anytime soon?

- ideemo Yep, they did. Johnny Drama was popular there and Rainn Wilson played a Harry Knowles clone.

- dan It does, indeed, all sound familiar when enough details are listed... Oh well. Proves our point better than if we'd remembered...

- ideemo I can't believe I remembered that. I'm sort of ashamed. I really liked seasons 1 and 2 but disowned the show 3-4 years ago because nothing ever changes on that show. And because Vince is not a real person. My brain is wasting space on old Entourage episodes! Ugh.

- DougMac It was actually really funny. It was a great Johnny Drama episode. Jesse Jane was in it too, and Rain Wilson was a great Harry Knowles type (as IDEEMO mentioned).

- andythesaint I'm surprised Dan didn't remember the Jesse Jane episode.

I laughed out loud in my office and disturbed several of my coworkers after "I understand that Emmanuelle Chiriqui is very pretty" "And Jewish!" "That doesn't matter!" "IT TOTALLY MATTERS!"

The other interesting part of the Denny's product placement is that Denny's turned down Tarantino for the diner scenes in Pulp Fiction.

One other thing notable about "Boxcutter" was Victor's surprising reaction to Gale's death.

It was Sydney Pollack and Kanye in that VERY tense Cannes episode of Entourage. I'm slightly embarrassed to remember that.

Gus kills Victor because he was seen, didn't clean the apartment and removed the blue folder, Gale should not have DIED, and he sent a strong message to both Walter and Jesse, but it is only Jesse who receives his message, for now at least. The same could be said of Mike, i.e, when he helps Walter and Jesse with the body... As for Walter and Jesse, Walter is co-dependent, not Jesse. Jesse has proven in the past that he can do it alone, but Walter can't....Blood Simple, bloody simple episode that foreshadows a lot of what is to come...what about the chicken t-shirts, and the sunset colors. Note how the show uses color consistently....Love this show.....
