In this debut episode of Breaking Goodman we cover episodes 1 and 2 of the new AMC original series and Breaking Bad spin-off Better Call Saul. We’re getting to it late, hence this week’s subtitle “Better Call Earlier Next timeLike everyone I was skeptical about this, but wanted to trust the Breaking Bad team to deliver a good show. Based on the first two episodes they’ve done that and more. This first episode could have probably been about 20 minutes less, but I couldn’t stop gushing over how much I enjoyed the show. It was so great to see the look, the feel, even some of the old Breaking Bad world characters back… but also to see them new at the same time. This first episode features Ned Redmond and Michael Henley, both of which are more astute viewers than I am, so it’s great to have them. Future episodes could feature them as well as 1 -2 rotating guests that you might recognize from Stark Raven Mad, Bloody Sunday, or Reheated. The podcast should be posted Wednesday mornings from here on out.

The intro music is Junior Brown from the song “Better Call Saul: the Song”. If you enjoy this podcast then rate/review us iTunes! As is the motto for all of my podcasts… we’ll do better next time.
