This Sunday’s Emmy Awards will mark the final time Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul can win for their amazing performances on AMC’s BREAKING BAD, but it doesn’t mean the two cannot team up for something a little different. Joining forces with VEEP’s Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Cranston and Paul star in this short to promote the Emmy’s called BARELY LEGAL PAWN.
Spoofing all of the various reality shows about pawn shops, Cranston and Paul entertain the former Seinfeld actress as she plays herself trying to sell her trophy to finance a private island she drunkenly purchased. The in-jokes fly as the three actors debate whether ocmedy is harder than drama and if supporting awards are better than leading performances.
Incredibly specific, this is still a damn funny short and proves that the chemistry (pun intended!) between Cranston and Paul is not limited to the drug drama. What I would give to see these two reunite for a feature project or another series!
