Later still, after seeing his father die, Jesse is watching a John Wayne movie on television when John Wayne himself reaches through the TV and starts talking to Jesse.
In the comics, Jesse’s obsession with John Wayne stems from a few different places.
Jesse and Tulip also never had a pregnancy that was lost and they never worked with a guy named Carlos.
There is another nod to Wayne later when we see the type of cigarettes that Jesse smokes: Pilgrims.
