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.
