It's Gene Week on Better Call Saul S06E10 "Nippy" which means the entire episode is shot in black and white.

S06E06 - Axe and Grind

May 18, 2022 23:54 - 1 hour

This many setup episodes is unusual for Better Call Saul, and it has a lot of people tapping their foot and looking at their watches. But there's more to this one than just setup. We get a lot of mileage out of a Kim cold-open and Jimmy has never been more Saul than he is here. Join us for the podcast to hear our full thoughts on Axe and Grind.

S06E05 - Black and Blue

May 12, 2022 00:42 - 1 hour

Another setup episode has us tapping our foot like a prostitute-loving lawyer on cocaine wondering when we'll get to the good stuff. And it's not that the episode isn't good, it's just that anticipation of Howard's downfall is killing us. But while the Kim and Jimmy plot taketh away, the Lalo plot finally arrives to giveth, with a forehead-slappingly obvious continuation that somehow managed to be a complete surprise.

S06E04 - Hit and Run

May 05, 2022 00:21 - 1 hour

It's a setup episode this week but that doesn't mean we can't have a little fun, with Gus displaying his love of the underground, Kim meeting an acquaintance from her past, and Jimmy wearing "Howard face".

S06E02 - Carrot and Stick

April 21, 2022 01:42 - 58 minutes

It's a good thing they released these first two episodes of Better Call Saul season 6 on the same night because Nacho's story really needed it. It's not exactly the most interesting TV to watch a man run north and hide in a motel. They do what they can though. Aside from that, there's a lot to love about this one. Mike pulls some Mike stuff to scrub any evidence that might link Gus to the Lalo problem, while leaving a whopper of a question for us to ponder. And it's the return of the Kettlema...

April 21, 2022 01:11 - 1 hour

Better Call Saul is back! Join us in the cathedral of justice for S06E01 "Wine and Roses" for a slight twist on the Better Call Saul season opener. This first episode is doing a lot of heavy setup but there are also a couple standout scenes including the beginning of Operation: Take Down Howard and a never-before-seen view into Saul Goodman's life.

The Better Call Saul just executed another run of 10 great episodes, cementing this as one of the strongest seasons of the show yet.

S05E09 - Bad Choice Road

April 15, 2020 19:30 - 1 hour

The penultimate episode of season 5 does a great job of setting the table for what's sure to be a bloody finale, assuming this season follows patterns established in previous seasons of Better Call Saul. We express our love for Lalo the cat-man and Kim the wonder woman and dig deep into the character trajectories to make our final predictions of the season in S05E09 - Bad Choice Road.

S05E08 - Bagman

April 08, 2020 19:52 - 54 minutes

In this episode, we follow Mike and Saul into the desert and watch them slowly wither away, while Lalo continues to rot in jail. Sounds like a real banger, doesn't it?

410 - Winner

October 10, 2018 19:34 - 2 hours

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.

409 - Wiedersehen

October 03, 2018 19:40 - 1 hour

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 r...

408 - Coushatta

September 26, 2018 19:38 - 1 hour

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. Learn more about your ad choices. V...

407 - Something Stupid

September 19, 2018 19:23 - 1 hour

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 t...

404 - Talk

August 29, 2018 19:48 - 1 hour

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. Learn...

402 - Breathe

August 15, 2018 19:04 - 1 hour

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 feed...
