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!Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

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.

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.Learn more about your ad choices.

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…Learn more about your ad choices.

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.Learn more about your ad choices.

“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.Learn more about your ad choices.

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.Learn more about your ad choices.

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?Learn more about your ad choices.
