Another of the very best podcasts. The actors can be fun, but when you guys do podcasts like this one and last week - with all off-camera folks - it's so incredibly great - I've enjoyed these last two almost as much as the show itself. Can't get enough of this.
These podcasts are a great opportunity for fans in general, and of course it's their prerogative to discuss whatever they want. But for me personally I find them frustrating because the first half of every podcast is all insider In-the-Industry talk, from endless reviews of technical equipment to endless praising of the crew members. I'm sure that's what's naturally interesting to them, and probably to a lot of listeners who work in the industry. But surely a lot more listeners are simply fans of the show who want to hear them discuss the ins and outs of the actual episode -- what were they thinking in writing a scene, what's their interpretation of the character motivations in each scene, did anything interesting happen during the shooting of a scene, how were the actors during this scene, explanations of strange details or moments in a scene, difficulties in making a scene, etc. I wish I knew where the industry talk stopped in each podcast so I could just fast forward. Oh well, still grateful for the podcasts anyway.
I think it’s less if “creator ego” dick stroking and much more the stream of consciousness for the people hosted per episode. mainly the episodes featuring actual actors for the ep discussed focus on themes and the like. especially rhea seahorn, she’s totally stellar when it comes to dissecting scenes and motivations
Every time anyone talks about the episode Kelley starts talking over them and interrupting. But when it's thirty solid minutes of "oh can I give a shout out to the brilliant guy who delivers our donuts" she's sitting patiently with nothing to say. She's so bad at being host.
I never made it through a previous episode as their mutual love-in made me want to throw up. I've hit pause before this one even started and jumped straight to the comments. When the creators are so full of themselves it begins to put me off what they do. I don't want to end up disliking the show because Gilligan and Gould etc are so smug.
It's weird, I had it in my podcast list on Google play for the first two seasons 1/2 then it disappeared and I couldn't find it again. Will need to check again I guess.
I thought so at first too. But looking back. Nacho and the pill Hector vs Gus with Nacho in the middle Saul and commercials Hector vs Nacho's family Chuck and the doctor. lots of new plot lines!
Idefinitely think the reason why Nacho's sudden character arc feels out of left field is because it felt like the writers forgot he even existed way back in season 1. Michael Mando was already contracted to be a recurring actor, and it feels like the writers regretted their decision to make him a main stay because it shows they are clearly not interested in Nacho's character for whatever reason. There was a lack of gradual development for Nacho's character compared to Jimmy, Chuck, Kim, and Mike. It doesn't help those other 4 characters's stories move at a really slow pace.
hendeeze good points, this was a necessity episode but I think it was the weakest of the season so far, it probably doesn't help that it followed two amazing episodes though.
Tollie Emmett, I do not totally agree. We know that Nacho's character is a lot different from Tuco or Don Hector, so it seems valid and informative that he dislikes the "who works for who - huh" comment.
the offscreen implication of Crazy 8's beating was effectively disturbing.
Chuck wouldn't open the door for Rebecca, yet opens for Howard. Great to see a new layer in this relationship. Great season!

That would have made for much better podcasts. These are way too indulgent of the show's creators' egos.

The school ran out of weed. Lol.
19:00 did they run out of pot?
I hope this one actually talks about the episode, rather than some obscure thing combined with nonstop slapping each other on the back.

Where do you pull this from?
I'm pretty sure Kelly Dixon uploads these directly to this channel.
if you google Better Call Saul Insider Podcast on Google, they upload them to at least four websites as a sound file

1:09' - I'm begining to worry that I am going to dislike Jimmy/Saul more and more(like during that scene when he refuses to visit his brother)
weak episode....
still the best show on earth
I thought so at first too. But looking back.
Nacho and the pill
Hector vs Gus with Nacho in the middle
Saul and commercials
Hector vs Nacho's family
Chuck and the doctor.

Guy Guino Yeah, Nacho is a really interesting character but he is so under used.
