Better Cast Saul - Better Call Saul Unofficial Podcast

We thouroughly enjoyed the second outing of “Better Call Saul’s” second season, “Cobbler”.  It had it all, really, and there’s a lot to discuss.  We move through Jimmy’s various legal wranglings, ponder his relationship with Chuck and the complex psychology at work, witness the beginning of the end of Jimmy and Kim’s relationship, and worry for the security of her career, if not her life. Oh, and we discuss pie based erotica, you know, if you’re into that sort of thing.  This plus a tonLearn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Better Call Saul is back, and we have a lot to say about the new episode, 201, “Switch”!  We got all the angles covered, from fictional high end tequila to the hot new breakfast cereal, Chocobolo, hummingbird and douchey investor cameos, Kim/Jimmy relational angst, and all points in between.  Plus, a lot of great fellow fan feedback and some bonus legal analysis.Learn more about your ad choices.

AMC’s “Better Call Saul” is back next week, and we’re ready for it.  Join us for a review of season one, what we’re expecting for season two, what unspeakable sex crime a “Hoboken Squat Cobbler” could be, and our thoughts and yours on the future of the show.  See you back for the premier Monday, Feb 15th, and the following Wednesday for our full podcast coverage!Learn more about your ad choices.

We discuss our changing perceptions of Chuck and Hamlin, Jimmy’s Cicero week o’ scams, pinky rings, and parking lot based changes of heart. Along the way, we consider a ton of great feedback, and towards the end, consider Better Call Saul’s place alongside it’s big brother, Breaking Bad. Perhaps a bit premature, but the fact that we can have an interesting conversation at this point is high praise all by itself, no?Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Jim and A.Ron might sound like a bit of a broken record, but we feel that episode 109, entitled “Pimento”, just might be the BEST. EPISODE. EVER. We knew BCS could do comedy, and the Mike centric Five-O proved it could do drama, but who knew it could blend the two so deftly, or that we’d generate genuine pathos from poor, pathetic Jimmy. We discuss betrayals, unlawful carnal knowledge of swine, our thoughts on Kim, hygenic a-holes, and dare we say it, rethinking our relationship with Hamlin.Learn more about your ad choices.

This podcast, for episode 108 of Better Call Saul, “RICO”, will be subtitled “the one where A.Ron loses his mind with tinfoil theories regarding Hitler’s rise to power and Japanese immigration law…” Aside from the deep dive into the murky world of reddit-derived speculation, we discuss dumpster diving, legal ethics, our surprise at the relative “goodness” of Jimmy, Chuck’s miraculous recovery (or is it?), St. Sebastian, spiders, tons of feedback, and much, much more.Learn more about your ad choices.

We discuss the hideousness that is the Kettlemans, Jimmy’s noble sacrifice for Kim, MIke’s voracious appetite for apples, and what fake Skymall products Chuck needs to cure his fake illness, and much, much more.  All this plus a healthy five apple a day diet of feedback, for your enjoyment!Learn more about your ad choices.

Jim and A.Ron were pleasantly surprised by a complete departure of tone and character in episode 106 of Better Call Saul, “Five-O”… We discuss bleach by-passes, struggle to understand tank top undershirts, as we navigate formative moments of the Man Trout’s life in three month increments.

Jim and A.Ron loved this episode, number 104 of Better Cast Saul, “Hero”, which we see as a huge step forward in tone, pacing, and world building.  We got a kick out of seeing the origins of “S’all good, man”, giant trashy bill boards, the bridging of the gap between Slippin’ Jimmy and Saul, the deepening of his relationship to Kim, further Nacho entanglements, and lots and lots of butthole to go around.  All this, and a ton of your insight, expertise and fan theories, coming right at you!Learn more about your ad choices.

Jim finally is pleased with an episode of Better Call Saul. In the series' third outing, we get a hint of the plot could be moving a good chunk of the rest of the season, as Jimmy McGill and a huge bag of ill gotten funds finally meet.  How we got to that point is interesting too, as we bear witness to the demise of Slipping Jimmy, get hints about the nature of Jimmy and Kim’s relationship, and see the genesis of a more congenial relationship between Mike and the man who will one day be called Saul.Learn more about your ad choices.

Welcome to our coverage of Better Call Saul episode 102, “Mijo”! We talk Tuco’s culinary skills, Jimmy’s gift of gab, a possible Nacho connection to the classic Breaking Bad series, some gun related anachronisms, and Wrong Swanson.  All this, tons of feedback, and the barest whiff of a spoiler section, and don’t worry, it’s safely tucked away at the very end of the episode if you don’t want to hear it.  See you next week!Learn more about your ad choices.

Jim and A.Ron had a lot of complex feelings about the first episode of Better Call Saul, “Uno”.  A.Ron enjoyed the super sized portion of Saul, but worried about the sustainability of the rate of easter eggs and classic BrBa character appearances, while Jim was bothered by pacing.  We also talked about the Aztek of Azteks, dent trash cans, scams both large and small, and much more.  Plus a ton of great feedback, the fans are bringing it from week one!Learn more about your ad choices.

Jim and A.Ron take a look at the first two episodes of Better Call Saul, “Uno” and “Mijo”, and shoot from the hip.  What did we like?  What concerns us?  What would Breaking Bad virgins make of this? The show has enourmous potential, but equally enourmous expectations.  Can’t wait to see what you guys think of it and to see where this show goes over the next two (at least) seasons!Learn more about your ad choices.
