#Better Call Saul Insider Podcast

“He doesn’t buy into the fallacy of sunk costs. He’s much more clear eyed that way” -Vince Gilligan on Saul Goodman | Breaking Bad Insider Podcast, 5x12 Rabid Dog

😶😶😶……………………….. IM SCREAMING

[a-matter-of-timing]

i love how more than once rhea has talked about jimmy and kim’s phone call scene in 103 as “the one when she asks about the sex robot voice” when it’s not even in that scene, she just loves the concept so much i guess

[imreallyloveleee]

if i ever get divorced it will be because i would not stop telling my husband "fun facts" that i learned from the better call saul insider podcast

Thanks for the tag @haztobegood <3 Above is the last pic I took...a pic of Catty the other day as I was trying to take the sheets off the bed to wash.

Last song: Why Can't We Be Friends? by The Academic. It's on my Louie Summer playlist, and it came on as I was driving last night right before I got home.

Currently Reading: Obvs always fic. But for books I've been reading Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver. And last night one of my friends gave me the book The Secret Book of Flora Lea by Patti Callahan Henry to read. So that'll probably be next.

Currently watching: Heartbreaker Season 2. I've been watching one episode per day in order to ration the dopamine. And I've been watching the last season of Better Call Saul with my husband. Which means we watch one episode per week. We're like whatever the opposite of binge watchers are.

Next watching: Probably Only Murders in the Building. I fondly remember watching the first two seasons while I cross stitched Christmas presents last year. Should probably get a head start on those for this year...

Current obsessions: same one as the last 9 years...Louis. But we all know that already. OH, I am obsessed with listening to podcasts. I listen to a ton of them, but I've been binging Smartless which is so fucking hilarious that I find myself bursting out into laughter all the time while listening to it. If you listen, do yourself a favor and start at the beginning so you can be in on all the inside jokes. Also obsessed with documentaries. I could watch a documentary on just about anything. There's something about the way documentaries do a deep dive into things that I almost always find interesting.

I'll tag: @kingsofeverything @magicalrocketships @fallinglikethis @beelou @reminiscingintherain @laynefaire and anyone else who wants to answer these!

Hi Izzy! Do you listen to any podcasts? And if so, what are your favorites?

I kind of go through phases with them, tbh. Right now I've been listening to more audiobooks.

For religious podcasts, I like Criteria, the Catholic Film Podcast and I've been slowly making my way through Bible in a Year.

I used to listen to The Truth but I kind of fell off on it. I like

I was totally obsessed with the Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul insider podcasts when I was watching that show last year.

ok i've finally started season 6 of better call saul (ahhhHHHHHH) so there's no better time than the present for me to vomit out all of my thoughts and feelings on this show thus far

first of all, i already want to start rewatching this show, like, right now, before i even finish it. unreal

my biggest complaint at this point is that i feel they lost the plot with Mike a bit in s5. his is a trickier needle to thread than jimmy's, i think - there's less daylight between parking attendant mike and stone cold fixer mike than there is between jimmy mcgill and saul goodman. but i'm just not convinced that this guy would agree to work for gus fring long-term. i guess we're supposed to believe that the guilt he feels, blaming himself for getting his son killed and depriving kaylee of a dad in the process, is SO overwhelming that he'll willingly do these terrible things so he can "pay her back" with this massive nest egg he plans to build up. but like...this is a conclusion i'm coming to by sitting here overthinking about it, not a conclusion that i feel is coming organically from the show. something just feels off. and i don't think it's intentional, i think they just missed the mark. that said, i liked his "bad choice road" speech to jimmy a lot at the end of the season.

speaking of kaylee, oh my god the scenes with her are goddamn annoying, and the scenes with her mom are even worse. i honestly feel bad for the woman, she's probably not even that bad of an actor but on a show overflowing with people at the absolute top of their game she really stands out as a weak link.

NACHITO 😭 i know he's not gonna make it out of here alive. poor guy. he just really loves his dad!!!!!!!!

Lalo is such a FANTASTIC addition tho. it's so hard to add a compelling character this late in the game but he's so charismatic he even makes me hate Hector Salamanca scenes like 80% less

I could have done with less Gus Fring on this show in general. he was incredible on BrBa, but he just...doesn't need to be fleshed out more? and he kind of isn't, he's just around a lot? idk, but i'll take this as an opportunity to share that one time i saw Giancarlo Esposito wearing a black cowboy hat and buying a package of raw chicken at Whole Foods in Austin TX like 9 years ago

ok now onto the lawyer-y side of things. in contrast to Mike's story, I think Jimmy/Saul's is pretty much pitch perfect. i believe his decisions, i believe his hesitations, i believe the push and pull.

(sidenote just remembered i also deeply hate the salamanca twins, always have always will, on BrBa they always felt like some lame reddit bro's idea of a "badass villain" they're just so flat and boring and i wish they weren't in this show either ugh)

anyway back to Jimmy - obviously, this show would not work whatsoever if Jimmy didn't work as a character, but it's still like, HOLY SHIT do they make him work. he's so tragic, you just KNOW that he could be better and you want him to be better and you know he wants to be better but: he can't. he won't. we know where this story is heading. and at his core he will always be this boy who really really really loved his big brother and never felt that love returned and never will and now i'm going to cry just thinking about the fucking scummy lawyer from breaking bad oh my goddddd

finally: kim. kim. KIM. having only watched 6x01 at this point - i feel like i've only barely scratched the surface on understanding who this character is. i don't know what to say, but i just rewatched this scene and it's maybe my favorite thing i've ever seen, with the exception of like 8 other kim scenes (most of which consist of her dressing down an idiot man, her boyfriend included)

JIMMY AND KIM FOREVER 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 and if you're wondering if i'm having Fic Thoughts, the answer is yes, yes i am

p.s. i've been listening to some of the insider podcast episodes and my GOD what a breath of fresh air to listen to peter gould and vince gilligan after being an unwilling prisoner of roberto aguirre sacasa for 7 goddamn years

[cauldronofmorning]

do you have a link to the episode podcasts, are they on spotify?

there you go!

[twinkgami]

help i graduated from reading the better call saul post episode reddit threads to listening to the insider podcast

[somebodylovesyougcv]

Was making breakfast this morning and my dad goes “what are you listening to” . And i was listening to the better call saul insider podcast. And when i answered with that, he just goes “You are so crazy”

[yepthatsacowalright]

"I always think we come up with stuff and then the internet, or rather I mean the fans, tell us what it means. I'm not even being glib. I think that's the way it is for a lot of filmmakers; you tell a story, you tell it the best you can, and then it gets interpreted by fans...hopefully you have fans, if you're lucky enough to have fans, especially fans like we have...and they interpret it, and tell you what you came up with. I more often than not am eternally surprised, and grateful. Cause you don't even know what you're doing half the time. You're going through an abandoned mine with a little Bic lighter and you can only see an inch or two in front of your face, and then fans kinda look at it from 30,000 feet and figure it all out. It's kind of wonderful that way, actually."

In these strange, apocalyptic times, I’m taking comfort in good podcasts  For anyone interested in directing, this podcast is a must. Better Call Saul is one of the best shows on television and the creators, writers, actors, and directors take you into their process and break down the show from script to blocking to shot selection.

And I gotta say, it just sounds like these people have so much respect and regard for one another. It’s a treat to hear artists ask great questions of each other and just be kind and thoughtful.

Happy listening.
