Zahn McClarnon, who plays the Cheyenne Reservation police chief Mathias in the beloved
Longmire, was spotted having a bite to eat at Palacio Café downtown Wednesday. Very underrated performance, that fella. McClarnon is also appearing in Scalped, the new WGN America pilot that began shooting in Santa Fe this month.
Longmire is currently filming its sixth and final season in the area and El Mitotero is becoming increasingly anxious as time winds further and further down on his chances to meet Katee Sackhoff.
And hey, for the Longmire fan in your life, maybe check out the new cinematic picture book: A 200-page coffee-table collection of some pretty beautiful character portraits and behind-the-scenes photos. You can find the link on the Mitote blog.
An eagle-eyed little bird spotted the sleek black jet of Dale Earnhardt Inc., at the Santa Fe Airport this week. Dale Earnhardt himself was in Pennsylvania, according to his Twitter feed. So who’s flying the plane, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar?! In case it’s not clear, El Mitotero doesn’t know what NASCAR is or how planes or companies or company planes work.
Better Call Saul is back! Season 3 of the critically acclaimed Albuquerque-based Breaking Bad prequel premieres at 8 p.m. Monday, April 10, on AMC. The cable network will be running an allday marathon of Season 2 beginning at 9:30 a.m., if you’re behind on Jimmy’s travails and/or need an excuse to play hooky.
Early reviews of the black comedy-drama suggest the show’s sterling quality has not dropped in the least. Critic Alan Sepinwall, writing for UPROXX, says big, bad Gus Fring (Giancarlo
Esposito) is seamlessly written into the proceedings, and that Saul’s inevitable progression toward the Walter White era of Breaking Bad continues apace. “I am simultaneously thrilled and terrified that the two shows are slowly starting to merge,” Sepinwall wrote. El Mitotero’s status is: Very hyped.
