One would think that with the series finale well in the annals of television history, the talk about “Breaking Bad” would be done. But lo and behold, there’s still tons more “Breaking Bad” to discuss. There’s even “Breaking Bad” stuff happening in “Godzilla” starring Walter White himself, Bryan Cranston.

Jake, a /Film reader, has found that in the title sequence of the film, there’s a quick reference to the show that made Cranston’s teacher character Walter White a meth kingpin.

Now, just to set the scene; during each mention of an actor or crew member’s name, parts of the wording is blocked out to symbolize how the government is keeping the Godzilla issue under wraps. The title credits was one of the cleverest parts of the film to me in how they did make it clear that world governments were trying to keep us in the dark about this huge monster living amongst us. But fifty seconds into the title sequence, when Cranston’s name pops up, you can see how several of the words are crossed out to reveal a cool, nerdy moment. You can see that the wording around it is crossed out to reveal the name “Walter White.” Clever?

You can watch the moment for yourself in the title sequence below. I may or may not have caught this in the theater; there was a lot to pay attention to, but I remember thinking, “Huh. Touché, title sequence animators.” Did you catch it in the theaters or did you catch it while watching the home release? Give your opinions in the comments section below!
