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!

We’re five episodes into our season one re-watch of Breaking Bad, episode 105 “Gray Matter”.

How to reconcile Walt the every man with Walt the egomaniac? Join us as we discuss this and much more, including lots of quality feedback and a spoiler section where we ponder why the Villigan decided to play certain cards so close to his chest that we never actually got to see them on screen.
