      @@Ryley280 I don't think it's narrow-minded to say the Breaking Bad universe has had it's day and even if the crew responsible for that COULD (and they definitely could) make another fantastic series, should they? Mining out every little detail for every possible character would only serve to ruin the world that they've built in my opinion.

    I think there would be room for much exploration with a Gus Fring spinoff. Remember when we first met Gus in Breaking Bad a flashback showed that he was heartbroken and driven by the murder of Max Arciniega, Gus was capable of love and compassion, which combined with his calculating ruthlessness and patience in planning would make him a fascinating character to explore.

    16:59 This may not be true but it's insane if he intentionally combine a little bit of Los pollos Gus and a little bit of Drug Warlord Gus to create this completely new persona for Moff Gideon. A voice that is loud, righteous, and makes you nervous of making mistakes in front of him all at once.

    I know Esposito can't answer questions like, "how does Better Call Saul end?" or how does a certain character fare? What I would like to hear is, do the producers film different takes and script changes intentionally so even the actors don't know how a show/character will turn out? And the only ones that do know are the producers and the editors? Any film industry veterans out there want to comment?

    Hearing Gian speak is just amazing. I don’t usually get into the whole celebrity scenes but listening to how he speaks and even watching deleted scenes and bloopers from his work, I can see how hard he works and how invested he gets into the characters he plays. This needs more views.

    Poor interviewers don't seem to understand that the audience doesn't give a damn about them. Bad interviewers talk far too much. Just shut up. The audience wants to hear the person being interviewed. Eisen is a terrible interviewer. How much better this would've been if Dan Patrick had interviewed him.
