We're a house divided as to whether "Winner" did enough to justify this season's at times uneven pacing and anti-climactic storytelling. Still, neither of us think the season was bad by any stretch, and this episode has tons of great scenes; the end of Mike and Werner's working relationship, Kim coming to the realization that she's just another in a long line of Jimmy's suckers, Jimmy breaking down in his Esteem at the fundamental injustice he feels he faces in society.

Jim and A.Ron are excited to see a return of tension and intrigue with the latest episode of AMC's Better Call Saul. The traditional Jimmy scam gets a Kim-style twist that was very well executed. Don Hector receiving his bell was perhaps unnecessary, but it was really fun to watch. The drama with Werner and the explosives and his ensuing escape attempt fueled the episode with much needed suspense. Finally, Jimmy and Kim's roof-top blow-up was as volcanic as it was tragic, uncomfortable, and real.

We found ourselves in the minority of fans after watching AMC's Better Call Saul's latest episode, "Coushatta". While not a bad episode per se, Jim and I were both let down by the actual scheme to befuddle the DA for Huell's case, and taken off guard by the sudden shift in what we perceived as Kim's character. On the other hand, caching up with Nacho was a rewarding experience, and we're truly excited by the possibilities Lalo entering the picture presents.

Despite a warp speed, nearly ten month jump ahead in time, AMC's Better Call Saul proceeds in a deliberate pace, offering just over 40 minutes of content, with just under 9 minutes of montage filling the screen time. Gus has healed Hector to the exact level he needs for his revenge plot. Mike is struggling with an over budget superlab and a crew of bored and increasingly sloppy Germans, and Kim and Jimmy's relationship is on life support. And that's before Jimmy comes to Kim with a big ask to save Huell.

We discuss the latest episode of AMC's Better Call Saul, "Piñata". Gus gets really creepy, Kim gently closes the door on the law offices of Wexler and McGill, Mike shows the Germans some American hospitality after making peace with his daughter in law, and Jimmy puts the fear of Saul into some local punks. We discuss all this plus a ton of great feedback!

Jim and A.Ron tackle a very good and very Kim and Jimmy episode of AMC's Better Call Saul, "Quite a Ride". A taste of BrBa-era Saul! The origins of the Superlab! The return of grifting at the ol' Dog House and the Wash Tub! Lots of nostalgia and lots of great character development and a very fun montage anchor this episode and make it a stand out. Plus, we talk therapy, Kim theories, thoughts on Gus' background and much more in our feedback section!

Okay, okay, perhaps we shouldn't have used the dreaded "b"-word when describing this episode of AMC's Better Call Saul, "Talk". But we're just saying, sometimes the show's "stately" pace dips into the realm of the "staid", and it's times likes this two fan boys can hope for some Cousins' fueled mayhem. Still, the episode had its stand out moments; Mike's intense reaction to Stacey trying to move on from the death of his son; and Kim's soul searching by way of low stakes courtroom drama.

We continue to be pleased at the pace Better Call Saul is maintaining in the early stretches of season 4. Checkov's letter? Bam! Here it is. Waiting to see how long it will take for the other shoe to drop on Nacho's flip by Gus? Blam! Blam! You got it. Plus, we get a pair of nifty back-alley surgery/thievery sequences. All this and tons of feedback, coming your way!

AMC's Better Call Saul delivers the goods in another tense episode, reminding us to "Breathe". Between Gus's high stakes plot to squeeze the Salamanca gang by taking ownership of Nacho to Kim's blistering of Howard in his own firm over his callous treatment of Jimmy, this episode had plenty of fireworks. Speaking of Jimmy, the real mystery that is driving a lot of the intrigue this season is the man himself. What's going on with him? We ponder this and more with the help of plenty of fan feedback!

Welcome back to Better Call Saul! We take a look at the latest episode, “Smoke”, where Jimmy spends the majority of the episode wallowing in pathos after discovering his brother has burned himself alive before taking a wrong turn in Albuquerque towards emotionally inappropriate whistling and fish feeding. What gives, Jimmy? Meanwhile Nacho fails to cleanly disengage from his Salamanca sabotage, and Mike gives Madrigal a surprise security audit. All this plus tons of great feedback from our fellow fans

Jim and A.Ron gather for a final time to say good bye until next time to AMC’s Better Call Saul.  And, we know it’s just until next time because AMC picked up the show for a fourth season.  Huzzah!  With that out of the way, we reconsider our opinions on season three, look ahead at how this season will impact the characters moving forward, debate about how the show has gone up til now, talk about mental health, and get an extraordinary amount of feedback to consider form our fellow fans.  See you n

Season three of AMC’s Better Call Saul is in the books with the finale episode, “Lantern”.  The show is really on fire this season.  As confirmed #F&%@Chuck supporters, we’re delighted to see Chuck get roasted, which left a warm and toasty feeling in our hearts.  Some plot points and character details might seemed burnt out, but we think the Villigang is just blowing smoke our direction to distract us.

Jim and A.Ron are now on the #F&%$EveryBodyButKim bandwagon, now that Jimmy has really fallen so morally and ethically far in AMC’s Better Call Saul, appropriately titled “Fall”.  It’s shocking, disgusting, and horrific, and it’s hard to see how anyone we remotely care about makes it out of this season unscathed.  Poor Kim.  Poor Irene.  We’ll have to see what devastation the Villigang has in store for us next week for the season finale…

Jim and A.Ron discuss the latest episode of AMC’s Better Call Saul, “Slip”.  We note, rather ominously, the next episode title is “Fall”.  Gulp.  We discuss better strategies for pill swapping, the probably bowel patterns of an elderly man who’s diet consists entirely of Mexican food and espresso, and give a full-throated cheer for Kim serving some cold justice to one Howard Hamlin.

“Expenses”, the latest installment of AMC’s Better Call Saul, is a workman-like connective episode that really develops the themes of this season while delivering superior performances.  We discuss Mike’s motivations to help the Cobbler / Nacho, Jimmy getting way too in to his mock scam of some dick who’s particular about his martinis, Kim’s difficulty in dealing with her help in tearing down a sick man, before delving into the depths of our Scotch ignorance in the mailbag.

Jim and A.Ron found a lot to like in the latest Better Call Saul, “Off Brand”.  The sense of something new, new characters, new directions, old scotch paired with new beginnings.  Just a whiff of that “new car smell” coming off the show this week.  Plus, we can’t overstate how much fun it is to see Jimmy/Saul in his new role as crappy local TV commercial director guy.

Jim and A.Ron are highly impressed at the high stakes quasi-legal and totally legit familial drama on hand with the latest episode of AMC’s Better Call Saul, “Chicanery”.  A masterclass in acting and dialog, Jimmy has to go three levels deep in scamming to fool Chuck, but he manages to do so, with devastating results.  But how does Jimmy skate given his crimes?  Will this end the blood feud between the brothers?  Will Chuck go darker?  Will Kim get caught in the cross fire?

The latest outing for AMC’s Better Call Saul, “Sabrosito”, offers more intriguing information on our favorite Chicken Brother, Gus Fring, as we go back in time to explore the Eladio Cartel’s internal politics, and the petty jealousies and rivalries that will eventually add up to Fring’s pyrrhic victory over his associates to the South.  But we also have some family drama as Jimmy and Chuck continue to wage their cold, legal war against each other.  Will the law offices of Wexler and McGill tri

“Sunk Costs” is able to perfectly balance the tension in the dueling Mike/Jimmy story lines being juggled on AMC’s Better Call Saul, with clear stakes for both our protagonists as they form powerful alliances and prepare to do battle with worthy foes.  Mike’s machinations against Hector offer the most visceral thrills, but Jimmy’s legal battle against his brother promises the most twists and turns.  Will Jimmy’s legal license survive?  Will his relationship with Kim weather this latest stor

In the latest episode of AMC’s Better Call Saul, the tables are turned as Jimmy becomes Mike’s private investigator as he continues to try to unravel the mysterious “DON’T” message writer.  Tables are later flipped as Chuck employs his own private investigators in an elaborate scheme to unravel Jimmy.  Basically, this episode is all unraveling and private eyes.

With A.Ron on vacation, I’m joined by Eric from Personal Arrogants and Direct to cover the season 3 premiere of the most effortlessly gripping show on television.  We speculate about the various plans put in motion this episode and where it’s all going, the final fate of Jimmy / Saul / Gene and devise a new spin-off for the Breaking Bad universe.

Jim and A.Ron are getting ready for season three of AMC’s Better Call Saul, by reviewing the advance material and last year’s continuing plots.  What will Chuck do with Jimmy’s confession tape?  Who is trying to come between Mike and his vengeance, and why?   Can Jimmy and Kim find a way to work together in their separate but equal law firm?  When will Gus rear his handsome, mild-mannered head?  All this and more is discussed.  See you next week for the premiere!

We’re trying to walk a fine line here.  On the one hand, we are impressed as we can be with the quality, pacing, and storytelling on display throughout season two of AMC’s “Better Call Saul”.  Heck, we even really like the finale, episode 210, “Klick”.  But we also have a few problems with how they’re going about doing what they do, and worry that the mounting coincidences, reliance on karmic timing and a fairly limp reveal for the finale will eventually undermine the enterprise.

Episode 209 of AMC’s “Better Call Saul”, entitled “Nailed”, is superlative, and takes us on quite the intense and unexpected emotional rollercoaster.  We can’t wait to see what goes down in the finale next week!  But first things first, we talk about Mike’s snatching a total moral defeat from the jaws of victory, Chuck’s crazy pants theory that just happens to be true, Kim’s very nuanced and perhaps conditional acceptance of Jimmy’s wily ways, and much more.

A.Ron and Jim are digging Better Call Saul’s latest episode, “Fifi”, which finds the perfect Mike/Jimmy balance and pacing.  Your mileage may vary, of course, but lots of intriguing and interesting things are afoot.  Jimmy is smuggling “war heroes” on Air Force bases, Chuck is sabotaging Kim and Jimmy’s dreams of teaming up, and Mike is dabbling in rather unconventional gardening accessories.  We discuss this and more with help from our fellow fans!

Episode 207, “Inflatable”, was the best of Jimmy, and the worst of Jimmy.  While his colorful sabotage of the corporate, buttoned down Davis and Main firm was entertaining, and the sabotage/montage a masterful edit by Insider Podcaster Kelley Dixon, it was at the expense of some genuinely good people.  And while it’s wonderful that Mike can provide a comfortable and safe lifestyle for his daughter-in-law and granddaughter, we know it eventually forces the doting Mike to abandon them both.

It’s episode 206 of Better Call Saul, “Bali Ha’i”, and the cameos keep coming.  When will Jim’s hands start shaking worse than Mike after bouncing two wannabee tough guys out of his hacienda?  We discuss the various deals, scams, and schemes that make up the bulk of this episode, undertake the complex task of figuring out what the chameleon Howard is all about, wonder what’s next for Mike, and worry about the future of Kim’s career.  Is the S&C offer genuine, or an Akbar-esque trap.

Welcome to our coverage of Better Call Saul’s episode 205, “Rebecca”, in which we find some new revelations about Chuck and Jimmy’s past, as well as some very dangerous future entanglements for Mike.  We come at the episode with two distinct POV’s; Jim is pro-Chuck, while I’m broadly anti-Chuck, and as a result, we have very different interpretations for a lot of the character conflicts in this episode.  Which side do you come down on?

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 ton

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?

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.

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.
