Feb. 12—Aaron Paul and Bryan Cranston are a dynamic duo.

The stars of "Breaking Bad" have remained busy collaborating with each other since the final episode of the series on Sept. 29, 2013.

Then the pair got together for "El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie" in 2019.

That wasn't the end, as the pair appeared in scenes during the final season of "Better Call Saul."

On Super Bowl Sunday, Paul and Cranston will be on the TV screen again in a commercial for PopCorners — an air-popped snack that comes in seven flavors.

Cranston returns as the chemistry teacher-turned-meth dealer Walter White.

Pinkman grabs a beanie and becomes former-student-turned apprentice Jesse Pinkman.

According to Sony Pictures Television, Vince Gilligan steps in as the writer and director for the minute-long commercial.

"No, we don't eat our own supply," Walt reminds his pupil while Jesse grows more excited. "Mr. White .... Everyone's going to want a taste," Jesse says, "And I know just the guy to talk to."

They take their idea to Tuco, played by Raymond Cruz, who gives them the stamp of approval.

"Breaking Bad" is set and filmed in Albuquerque during its entire six-season run from 2008-13. The series is a cultural juggernaut and has created a sustaining tourism boom for Albuquerque.
