Episodes

Saul Searching: Coushatta (S4/E8) 03.10.2018

Chris and John chat about "Coushatta," another dazzling episode of Better Call Saul that adds a new dimension to Jimmy and Kim's relationship. Then they turn their attentions to Saul's latest spinoff challenger: The Lone Gunmen. This X-Files offshoot ran for 13 episodes in early 2001 and a few things have happened since then. How does it hold up? The truth behind it all is laid bare in this very p...

Saul Searching: Something Stupid (S4/E7) 21.09.2018

Looking for another challenger to Better Call Saul's place atop the spinoff heap, Chris and John give their customized globe a (final?) whirl and land in the magical land known as Baywatch Nights. Only then does the battle between Odenkirk and Hasselhoff begin. Whose side are you on? P.S. The latest Better Call Saul episode, "Something Stupid," is also discussed (duh). Baywatch Nights had two iter...

Saul Searching: Piñata (S4/E6) 16.09.2018

Chris and John don their finest track suits and lure "Piñata," the latest episode of Better Call Saul, into a trap. (A recap and discussion trap.) When that's settled, we're off to face another spinoff challenger, this time in the form of a highly-successful, long-running primetime soap that straddled the 80s and then some: Knots Landing. Then come back and tell us if this podcast is closer to bea...

For Your Infotazement: Embarrassment 12.09.2018

NOTE: This is an archival episode first released in June of 2015. Infotazement is a word that describes any topic deemed of interest by me, John Walker, the host of the show. If that sounds vague and solipsistic, then you’re beginning to understand. Each episode will involve multiple personalities expounding on a theme, as dictated, again, by me. This episode is all about embarrassment, and I’ve b...

Saul Searching: Quite A Ride (S4/E5) 10.09.2018

Chris and John spy a great opportunity for TV chat in the pilot for The Girl from U.N.C.L.E.,  a spinoff of The Man from U.N.C.L.E. that mysteriously recasts its main roles and hinges most of its appeal on the charms of a mission-critical dachshund. Oh yeah, plus a new episode of Better Call Saul gets the usual scrutiny. Fun! Follow this link to a nigh-unwatchable copy of The Girl from U.N.C.L.E....

Saul Searching: Talk (S4/E4) 02.09.2018

Chris and John spin a globe and land on this week's spinoff challenger, "The Completely Mental Misadventures of Ed Grimley," before digging into a slow boil of a Better Call Saul episode that is punctuated by a very "Breaking Bad"-ish shootout. Then it's time for Martin Short's beloved and bizarre sketch character, whose animated incarnation ran for one season on NBC in 1988. Which spinoff will em...

Saul Searching: Something Beautiful (S4/E3) 24.08.2018

Chris and John do their usual thing with "Something Beautiful," the third episode of Better Call Saul's fourth season, before rolling up their sleeves and attempting to parse this week's spinoff challenger: Mr T and Tina, a Pat Morita-led offshoot of Welcome Back, Kotter that aired five episodes in 1976. It doesn't go well. If you have a half hour to spare and a firm grip on reality, see Mr. T and...

Saul Searching: Breathe (S4/E2) 19.08.2018

Chris has a cold but that doesn't stop him from discussing television old and new with his buddy John. They cover the latest Better Call Saul, "Breathe," as well as compare it to the pilot for Barnaby Jones, the Buddy Ebsen detective series that was sort of spun off from William Conrad's Cannon. And sort of not. Watch the pilot for Barnaby Jones so you, too, can form your own opinions! https://www...

Oh It's John, Episode 3: Summer Jamz 2018 14.08.2018

Nagle and Walker are here at the height of August 2018 to share some Summer Jamz guaranteed to keep you cool, provided you accept our idea of cool and that you take steps to avoid over-cooling yourself. It's all here, along with dollops of hair metal, calypso, lounge, novelty music, pop punk, early aughts indie rock, proto-punk and more novelty music that you should rub into your skin before going...

Saul Searching: Smoke (S4/E1) 12.08.2018

Chris and John embark on a whole new season of Saul Searching, and this year they aren't just discussing Better Call Saul, they're pitting the Breaking Bad offshoot against other classic TV spinoffs! BCS's first challenger is AfterM*A*S*H, the follow-up to one of the biggest hit sitcoms ever. WHO CAN KNOW how this will turn out? Watch the pilot for AfterM*A*S*H if you want to share the fun! https:...

Oh It's John, Episode 2: Oh It's Joan 11.07.2018

The name Joan shares a root with the name John, so that's the only excuse Johns Nagle and Walker needed to devote an entire episode to the Star of the Highest Order herself, Miss Joan Crawford, and her 1931 drama, "Possessed." Watch "Possessed" on YouTube for $2.99! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DvPSX9u0Kbo Or on GooglePlay for the same price! https://play.google.com/store/movies/details?id=DvPSX...

Oh It's John, Episode 1: When Nagle Met Walker 19.06.2018

Online pals John Nagle and John Walker decided to take their relationship face-to-face, so they could chat about the things they have in common. Like, for starters, being named John. Hey, it's something! Follow John Nagle! @jnagle4 www.medium.com/@jnagle4 Follow John Walker! @giannidubya sighfigh.soundcloud.com movieschmovie.com

Saul Searching: Lantern (S3/E10) 18.06.2018

Better Call Saul's third season reaches its tragic, inevitable end with "Lantern," a finale that leaves Chris and John extremely curious about where the show goes from here.

Saul Searching: Fall (S3/E9) 18.06.2018

As Jimmy's behavior on the show reaches its apex of sleaze, hope of redemption may be be slim, but hope of a recap? That's a different story. Chris and John are here to overthink "Fall," the second-to-last episode of Better Call Saul's third season.

Saul Searching: Slip (S3/E8) 18.06.2018

Chris and John want to share their takes on the latest episode of Better Call Saul, but AMC keeps giving them the "Slip." You see? Because, words.

Saul Searching: Expenses (S3/E7) 18.06.2018

Chris and John break out the ledger to tally their accumulated wealth of thought on "Expenses," the seventh episode of the third season of Better Call Saul.

Saul Searching: Klick (S2/E10) 18.06.2018

"Klick," the second season finale of Better Call Saul, leaves us with so many unresolved feelings! Thanks goodness John and Chris have a whole podcast to make sense of it.

Saul Searching: Nailed (S2/E9) 18.06.2018

Like a couple of screwballs, Chris and John drill down into "Nailed," the gut-wrenching ninth episode of Better Call Saul's second season.
